Hi daviddia,

I have delivered my Tanix TX3 mini and currently have only the X96 mini.

On my X96 mini, I have the firmware from the TX3 20180125 installed. I have no problems and everything works perfectly in my opinion.

I think synonymous on your box, this version should run without problems.

Best regards
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] daviddia:
thanks for answering. I mean another ROM with the Android TV interface

Someone can give information on antenna pins?

Would like to increase wifi capability using external antenna!

is it on upper left corner on Top side of PCB ???
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mixalis233:
Hello,

very useful what you have done here. I installed Tanix 3 mini firmware cause i see that it has an option to enable and disable root access. I disabled the root access from options but still the device is recognized as rooted from the app i wanna use. So, do you know any way to unroot this device?

Thank you
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Soldiaz:
Oh , I need unroot too. Thought this worked correctly with tanix Image....
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mixalis233:
Try this, it worked for me like a charm,

We download Magisk Manager to our device from XDA ( https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 ).

We open the application and click "Install".

We also download a file manager like Mixplorer ( https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1523691 ) and enable administrator permissions.

We look into the inner memory for the su and delete it. In this case, we found three (!!!), one in the central folder, while the second and third were in their classical positions, in "/ system / bin" and "/ system / sbin".

We're rebooting.

For the end we open Magisk Manager again and click "Uninstall" to get our own root file.

We restart again and we are ready.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Soldiaz:
Dear mixalis233, could you kindly give closer information on howto install.

Kind regards Soldiaz
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mixalis233:
I am really sorry but I can't do that Right now or the next few days. I will be able to do that in 2 weeks from now..

Although, I can guide you.

Have you tried to do what I say above? What difficulties have you faced until now?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Soldiaz:
actually I fear to brick the device that is why I asked for closer information.

But if it is an easy procedure I will try as stated above!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Soldiaz:
Maybe I found soldering points for external antennas? Pls have a look at the blue circle!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mixalis233:
There is no fear to brick the device with this method.

But, even if it happens (it won't happen) , you can download the software of the device and install it again (it's very easy).

I had the same fear as you but everything went well!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Soldiaz:
May I ASK what you uninstalled? Any previous Root Files?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mixalis233:
After the installation of magisk, you have to go to the root files, find and delete the three (3) "su" files. After that you restart the device and open the magisk app you have installed previously , then you press the "uninstall button" in the middle of the screen and you choose "uninstall magisk completely" (or something like that). After 5 seconds, you are ready, that's all. Now restart your device again and it should be working :)

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] NaoSakurai:
@ N'ayam Amarsh'e

Yes ,I am using first version of that rom with X96 mini ram2gb)

Actually It did not works completely smoothly.

But I changed the setting animation , transition and Animator (Sorry I don’t know how to say accurately in English these 3 setting ) x0.5 in Developer option.

New Updates

Hi Guys,

I was bored today and created a new IMG for our X96 mini.

It consists for the most part of the firmware of VORKE Z5, where I believe VORKE and TANIX belong together, because in the firmware of VORKE was a folder called Tanix.

There are only a few small changes:

-Update from 2018.02.03

-Kodi set to 17.6.

-Alice UX Launcher integrates as default

-Remote config of X96 mini is integrated.

-Some unimportant files deleted

....

I think after the update, the BOX runs much faster and smoother.

I am using x96 mini firmware. I was not able to open Tata Sky application which was always finding root. So I installed Magisk Manager. From Magisk Manager installed Magisk application using the third option,that is direct download. Closed the application and opened Es File explorer. Found su files in bin, sbin and xbin and deleted all three su's. Shut down the box and restarted. Clicked the item tap to start safenetcheck with internet on. After it reported success I opened Magisk Manager and from left hand side top corner clicked the threelines icon and selected Magisk hide menu. I had already installed Tata Sky app. So I selected this application to hide root . Again shut down the box and restarted. Ran Tata Sky application and to my surprise it opened without any problem. Also I did not uninstall Magisk. Don''t uninstall it. You may try your Vodafone appln.

For those wanting TWRP default recovery and need of unroot fw: I found a solution!

1. You do not need to install TWRP as default and I do not recommend as there Is no need for this! You can fire up TWRP from stock recovery any time you want.

2. Flash Tanix mini fw as this supplies root/unroot option and I experienced that rom as very stable and wifi optimised. I flashed ota using TWRP.

3. In case apps still refuse to start (detecting root), just flash unSU-signed!

Hint: Leave updater app installed as it let's you reboot to stock recovery by choosing any zip. Example: choose unSU-signed. Then updater will reboot to stock recoevry and then refuses to flash BUT from that point you can select TWRP from memory, start that one and finally flash .....

GOTTA STEP BACK!

DOES NOT WORK WITH x96 mini 2018xxxxxxxxxxxxx fw!!!!!!!!! Does not let you launch TWRP in stock recovery!!

I had a 2017xxxxxxxx fw preinstalled

Hello guys, I am new here. I have a situation on my mini X96. The CEC switch is not switching on properly. The TV cant see CEC turned on, like on other tv box I have. When I press up button on my TV remote it doesnt go up but goes to pic gallery, when I press left it goes up, other buttons dont work, seems that some CEC file is corrupt. Any ideas how to fix this? Also there is no remote switch on/off button in android 7.1.2 installed so I cannot use iRemote app. I am not a fan of using its original remote because I put the box behind the TV and after all why use 2 remotes.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] MintCoughDrop:
I was able to get Magisk installed on the stock rom. I'm working on setting my apps up now. However I first tired getting Android TV to work from the link above, but keep running into an error. I first tired the directions on the download page for how to flash img version. This would boot to an upgrading screen, but the progress bar would hang near the very start. The directions say 5 mins. I waited for about 30 mins with no luck. I then tried again, and I let it run all night this time. I went to bed. When i woke up the box was on and looked like the stock rom and UI.

Then i tried flashing it through TWRP and I got an error saying that the img file is too big for the target.

(I also noticed this box has flash to boot, logo, and recovery. I have never seen logo before. I'm replacing a Nexbox A95X with the S905X) Someone on the freaktab thread mentioned that if i put it in a zip file and flash the zip it would work, but no luck their either.

EDIT

I got the firmware from post #122 to load by using the USB burning tool.

However I can not seem to get the Android TV rom from post #132 to load on. Might try it again in a bit. Also the post firmware gets rid of the clock on the front of the R2. The screen is just blank now.

EDIT 2 Trying the Android TV rom using USB Burning Tool

When trying it with erase bootloader checked I get

[0x00101004] Erase bootloader/Lowper/Identify/Error result

When i try it with erase bootloader unchecked I get

Help Please

HI!

I bought an X96 mini and it never worked = (.

It is marked on the home screen where it says "X96 mini" with background of the space and does not pass from there.

On one or two occasions it has gone from that screen and upon entering the start screen it "freezes" at 2 seconds and does not work again. Restart and remains on screen "X 96mini" with space background eternally.

Already try:

- Reset (not working)

- Load the firmware again (it does not work, it does the same thing)

- Load the firmware of Tanix 3 mini (it does not work, it does the same thing)

I have to give up?

my model is 2GB of ram and 16 of ROM.

Could someone help me, suggestions?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] zusatzmetall:
Do not give up, it will work ...!

First download USB Burning Tool from my 3rd post

Download any firmware from my 2nd post, I recommend my compiled firmware "Nonchers". ;) (Extract the IMG with winrar or so)

Start USB Burning Tool as administrator.

Paste the downloaded firmware into USB Burning Tool.

Click on start

Connect the USB cable to the box (not yet to the PC), it only works for one of the USB slots!

Now put some toothpick or similar (not metal) into the AV port of the box (you'll hear a click) hold it down and now connect the other end of the USB cable to the PC.

USB Burning Tool should start now and you can remove the toothpick.

As soon as it is finished and there in green is "successful" take the USB cable. Then click Stop and close USB Burning Tool.

Your box is ready for the first start and this takes a little longer. Be patient. I tried this variant with several Android boxes and it works. If not pull the power plug of the box and plug it back in. Just try it.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] DanielRiveros:
Hello again!

I have tested with two of your firmware (2 post):

- x96 mini

- Nonchers

None works. (-_-)

The "x96 mini" firmware passed the "X96 mini with star background" screen but after loading all the apps on the main screen it "freezes" and does not work again. You see the screen with the apps (chrome, facebook, netflix, etc) but it does not respond.

Do the same every time I tried (15 starts approx).

On one occasion, a sign came out "The MediaBox launcher application finished" and there it hung, frozen.

The firmware "Nonchers" always remains on the black screen with the text "VORKE" and it does not pass from there, I waited up to 20 minutes 2 times and nothing. Restart (take out the cable) and continue like this.

I loaded the two firmware with your USB tools program in your third post.

Always indicated "successful" at the end.

I do not know what else to try.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] DanielRiveros:
Well, I tried two more and nothing ...

02. Tanix 3 mini: Passed the logo screen, but it was frozen in 4 colored circles, it never started again.

04. M8S PRO W: It remains in the logo MECOOL and nothing more, I waited two times up to 30 minutes.

I reinstalled 01. X96 mini, entered the system, after 2 minutes running and with 19.68% of free memory (which soften me to a little by 2Gb) it froze and came out this error:

"The process androir.process.media stopped working" always freezes after 2 minutes of entering the system and loading the apps.

I already think it's a hardware failure.

What else can I do?

I believe in the Stock firmware of x96 mini, the Navibar and statusbar was taken. But I'm not sure anymore. With most firmwares it is like that with the mouse and by clicking and holding up or for statusbar pull down.

best wifi signal

dear all,

i am relativelly new to android tv boxes...ordered the X96 mini to test it...I am actually using it for iptv services which i am using on smart tvs..

Regarding the X96 mini, there were no issues, using the smart iptv app and everything worked fine. Suddenly I reaslised that I have quite poor wifi and ethernet signal. the wifi is 0,5-5 mbit/s, ethernet is 5-6 mbit where I have 20-30mbit/s

so my questions is: shall I try other firmwares or is it pure HW issue??

if yes, which firmware to try, since i am mostly intested in using it for iptv streaming service...

thanks for the help..

Thanks a lot for the info. I thought it would be like you said. One question: is there a problem flashing to the x96 mini latest firmware (2018)?

I cannot find the procedurr for flashing via usb stick or sd card...only the usb to usb pc method...

Thanks
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mrsoje:
1. Copy the .ZIP to a TF Card or USB memory.

2. Plug it to your TV Box.

3. Open UPDATE APP already pre-installed.

4. Press "Select" and choose the .ZIP file.

5. Press "Update" and wait.

Download links you have in second post first page of this topic
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] micko83:
Maybe a stupid question, because it seems so easy. Does the method apply to flashing tanix 3 mini to X96 mini? Or is this only for updating the x96 mini firmwares?

Sorry for asking, Just want to be sure since i am confused about flashing methods for different devices
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mrsoje:
I flashed Tanix firmware on X96 mini like that . You should choose to delete Data while flashing . If you don't old app will be present and might conflict .

Maybe its better to do clean install via USB burning tool but this was easier and faster

1. One of the USB port does not work (i found this problem since day one)

2. The speed of wifi is not maximum. I have 12mbps connection, but my box can only get 5mbps. While watching on youtube it runs well as long the resolution i dont set it to 1080p. Kodi does not work therefore i unistalled it. Modbro iptv runs well. But when trying to watch any video through web browser the streaming is lagging a lot.

Can you please advice me what do I have to do to fix this?

How to chech whether my box can be installed with firmware shown in this thread?
