Android TV ROM

This is a fully working Android TV ROM for the Tanix TX9 Pro Android box.

As you might now, this Android BOX originally came with a Android OS tablet version, very unstable and unusable with the remote control. With this comment you will be able to install Android TV version of the OS.

It is very stable, but is not free of bugs, you might find some bugs, but it's really stable to be used as a daily driver and it's way more stable than the original Android tablet version.

Disclaimer:

ANDROID TV VERSION OF NETFLIX DOES NOT WORK WITH THIS ROM, DON'T EVEN TRY, NO WAY TO GET IT WORKING, YOU NEED TO INSTALL A TABLET OR PHONE APK VERSION AND GET USED TO 480P QUALITY MAX

Other apps might not work because this is NOT a certified device, and some apps like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime require the device to be certified to play content or even run.

YOU MIGHT FIND BUGS OR SOME SCREEN RELATED BUGS, IF YOU DO, DISABLE OR ENABLE HARDWARE ACCELERATION

But trust me, this is way better than the piece of crap Android version they put on it originally.

You need: TX9 PRO, AC adapter, USB MALE-TO-MALE cable, USB drive FAT32 formatted and an USB Mouse.

1.- First you need to download the Android TV ROM: https://uptobox.com/qf82zbuwwinr and extract the .img file somewhere.

2.- Download latest AMLOGIC USB BURNING TOOL OFFICIAL FROM TANIX: http://www.tanix-box.com/download-view/tanix-burning-tool-flashing-amlogic-firmware-v2-0-5-15/

3.- Install USB BURNING TOOL as Admin on Windows 7/8/10 (tested on 10 64 bits), it will automatically install all drivers needed to work.

4.- Run the USB BURNING TOOL, then File->Import image and select the .img previously extracted file, let it load and press START.

5.- READ CAREFULLY: plug your AC ADAPTER on your outlet, plug your USB MALE TO MALE to your computer. Then, insert the AC ADAPTER end and the USB MALE TO MALE end to the TX9 Pro AT THE SAME TIME and leave them plugged in.

6.- The program should load all the ROM data. It's ok if you hear Windows device sounds while doing this.

7.- Once the blue bar turns green, disconnect the AC adapter and then the USB cable from the TX9 Pro.

8.- Connect the HDMI cable to your TV and the TX9 Pro and then the AC ADAPTER. TV should display white Google logo, then a color animated logo.

9.- Don't worry, first boot takes several minutes to load. Once loaded, follow the steps like a regular Android TV device (sign up, use your cellphone, connect to Wi-Fi, everything).

Once done, you will see this ROM makes the TX9 Pro basically a Xiaomi Mi Box 3 clone (software). It's totally remote friendly, it can install any Android TV app from the Google Playstore, you can use your cellphone as a remote too, and enable voice search this way. The ROM also has TWRP installed by default, so don't worry about it. DON'T TRY TO WIPE DATA from it, it doesn't work and it just softbricks the box.

As you might notice, the clock screen only says "boot" all the time. You need to install a patch to get it working.

1.- Download the PATCH: https://gofile.io/d/ykFUL3 and put it on an USB drive

2.- With the TX9 Pro powered on, navigate to the bottom menu and press POWER, then select RECOVERY.

3.- Once it reboots and TWRP loads, insert your USB Mouse to the TX9 Pro, swipe the ALLOW MODIFICATIONS slider.

4.- Press the INSTALL BUTTON

5.- Insert your USB Drive and press SELECT STORAGE and select USB OTG.

6.- Select the PATCH downloaded at step one and SWIPE TO CONFIRM FLASH, then REBOOT SYSTEM.

Let it start again and check CLOCK. If clock is working well but it's upside down, download this extra PATCH and repeat steps: https://gofile.io/d/99GU5A

If something bad happens or it doesn't start, repeat steps one by one, it's very difficult to brick this box.

If everything OK, you will have something like this:
