So, if we have the 3/32 models we will not be able to profit?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] LeMaestro:
maybe not if your box is DDR3, mine is new with DDR4 and they may have made some change with the 7.1.2 firmware.

It was a speedy box before I loaded SU to it. Just do not use SU.

A lot of peoples whit new boxes, not just the T95Z had problem with Su and Adroid 7.1.1 and 7.1.2 has reported on freaktab.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] papla83:
HI. How can we know the type of ddr inside the box without disassembly? An apps like Aida or other?

Thanks
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] AthieN:
When I click your link to MEGA, it just takes me to my home page. I don't see your files or anything so I can't download your 7.1.2 version of TWRP... Any chance you could upload it to Google Drive or somewhere else?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
I used what you suggested the "Carliv Image Kitchen for Windows" as you suggested by "bluefirebird", so credit must go to him/her, all I did was use the program, didn't take long at all and worked really well, nice little program.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Great ? now if you can, would you be able to try out superceleron with the recovery as there was apparent issues earlier with it restoring superceleron backup
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
Not sure mate, I flashed this TWRP via adb, USB Burning tools should be able to flash it, but I can't verify 100% as I did not do it that way. Terminal Emulator on the box itself should work as well. As long as your box is the 3gb/32gb model with wifi chip AP6255 methods I listed should work.

Will superceleron work on my box being the 3gb/32gb model?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Unpack it with Amlogic customisation tool, check in the /system/build.prop of superceleron rom what android version it is, then get your boot IMG from that same android version and replace it, replace /system/build.prop with the one for your variant and copy the /system/etc folder from your device variant to superceleron rom and overwrite existing files, that should work 100%(everything)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
I've unpacked with Customisation tool, says it is Android 6.0.1, I don't understand the next step though of getting the boot IMG, do you mean find a boot IMG of T95Z Android 6.0.1 or T95Z Android 7.1.2, last 2 steps should be easy enough. I also get a Unpack system APK error when unpacking Superceleron img and the 7.1.2 img, don't know if this is normal or not as it did it on both.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
You find a stock 6.0.1 version kernel for the T95Z(your variant) and do a complete swap

The files needed from stock T95Z 6.0.1 rom are

-kernel(boot.img)

-/system/build.prop

-/system/etc
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
I'm having a hard time finding 6.0.1 for the 3/32gb variant. Gonna leave it for now, gonna roll with the 7.1.2 for a bit and see how it goes, I'm spending more time playing around with the box than actually using it, reflashing and then setting everything up again etc.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] AthieN:
Thanks man. I'll give it a try when I get home later today!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Welcome to development lol
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] LeMaestro:
I know it was a DDR4 because it was advertise on the seller's web page but Aida did not detect the kind of RAM i had.

But now I am back in business as finally someone on FreakTab posted a link to the right firmware that returned my box to its original state. Now back to getting rid of the crappy launcher an other crap that the manufacturer installed on it.

Here is the link to the firmware that save my a**:

Thanks to everybody that landed a hand.:o
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] :
What brand of Box is yours? Mine is an Easytone w/DDR4

---------- Post added at 02:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------

The only setting I could find with "T95P####" was the build number....looking in settings/about
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] LeMaestro:
I have no clues witch brand, seems to be a clone of the Sunvell box.

Here is the link to the box I bought:

https://www.geekbuying.com/item/T95...MI6omYv7qF2QIVBLizCh1wsgSeEAEYASABEgJbjPD_BwE

Got the one with 3/32 Gb.

I know what WiFi chip I have because my box is open, but believe me I went thru so many firmware before I found this one.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] :
So, are you just sticking with Stock now....mine came rooted in box

How easily are they opened up?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] LeMaestro:
Mine to is manufactured rooted, but it is a weird root, Super SU will install and brick your box, and if you try to update Kodi and playstore it do not work.

But now that i can revive my box, whatever I do to it, I will certainly try to fix that. Already installed the OP custom launcher but still can not update Kodi to latest version. But it is just a mater of time, has I have not has many experience with Android that I do with Windows.

On my box you remove the 4 little feet at the bottom that hide 4 screws, remove the screws and popup the cover.:good:
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] :
The playstore issue is that it the firmware has an altered playstore on it...there are actually two...the launcher has the bad one on it...you can get a different launcher ( I am using Top TV Launcher) and actually get access to the real one as you can customize your homescreen...I did that

Also just found a good tool. In playstore you can find Amlogic TV Box tool....

it helped me get my wifi chipset (AP6255) but also has other cool stuff in it...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] LeMaestro:
Thanks will try that.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
To remove Kodi go to system/media/pre-install.zip and delete the app from within there, then go to settings and uninstall, I use Kodi 18.0 and it runs perfectly and the launcher shortcut still works

As for the playstore issue, I find it really wierd as it requests root access and uses pkginstaller, remove PKG installer and yet you can still install apps.. ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] :
You lost me on the package installer comment...should we try removing it?

Seems there used to be a Kodi update app in my firmware. Don't remember though. I don't use Kodi
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] LeMaestro:
Thanks will do that.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
What build are you using with Kodi 18 mate, I have it on the XBOX one running the Griff Build, not quite there yet but not too bad with it only being Alpha on the XBox. Normally on the T95Z box I just go with 17.6 running Diggz Xenon Build or one of the Misfit Mods build, liking Hard Nox from them at the moment.

Also, I don't know what has happened or if it was always like this and didn't notice, but with your modified launcher on the T95Z, the Play Store shortcut no longer works for me, Play Store is also no longer in the Apps shortcut either, but I can open it through Settings and then Apps. I'm sure the shortcut worked when I first copied the custom launcher across. I reflashed the firmware, but as soon as I install the modified launcher, the shortcut no longer works.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
In using 18.0 Leia test build, downloaded straight from the Kodi repo, they could have possible modifies their playstore package name in 7.1.2, my launcher is from 7.1.1 so that could have broken the link if that's the case, in downloading the 7.1.2 firmware now and gonna port it for the 2/16gb variant
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Testing a ported version of your 7.1.2 firmware but for the 2/16GB variant, will let you know how it goes, just some minor modifications to the kernel, build.prop and a few other things, will post a TWRP flashable .zip file when complete, also if anyone knows of any S912 boxes with android 8.0 feel free to let me know so we can get it on our wonderful devices!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] :
That build uses an apk named Playstore 1.0
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] papla83:
hi every one.

Someone have a zip version of 1075 firmware to use with the ota update apps? or if not someone know how to make a zip works with ota update system from files to use with burn image tools ?

Thanks
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Confirmed working 7.1.2 for the 2/16GB variant, ported the kernel, adjustments to the build.prop and bam!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] :
huh?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
I just ported the 7.1.2 firmware(not 7.1.1) from the first post to the 2/16gb variant
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] :
Will us with the 3/32 variants be able to profit ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Screenshot attached, as you can see security patch level
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] :
Cant view, says there were errors
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
Good stuff mate, I also have the 7.1.2 1075 Firmware, but I've found the 1015 to be a more stable firmware, doesn't have the dual Playstore issue that the 1075 does, I don't know which is newer, but I've tried both and 1015 seemed to be the better one for me. I'll upload the 1075 image to my megaload folder anyway if you want to have a play around with it. Here is a new link to all the T95Z stuff I have uploaded to Mega:

https://mega.nz/#F!qo9lBZgZ!_IslrLWgIc38-C_jfJv6yg

I also found a newer version of TWRP than the one I created, it's 3.1.1-0 created by "Magendanz" over at Freaktab, installed on my box no issues. Is in my megaload folder if you want to grab it. The 1075 7.1.2 firmware is uploading now, so should be available to grab soon if you want it.

---------- Post added at 02:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:51 AM ----------

The firmware I posted earlier in the thread is for the 3/32 variant, that's what my box is, wifi chip AP6255. You can grab it from my Mega folder under firmwares, choose the 1015 firmware. Use the USB burning tool, or you could try the Burn Card Maker tool I'll upload to the folder if you don't have a Male to Male USB cable that USB Burning tool needs.

https://mega.nz/#F!qo9lBZgZ!_IslrLWgIc38-C_jfJv6yg
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
We will port the 1075 firmware and make some minor adjustments, does the navigation bar issue exist in the firmware?

You can check the build date in settings, we want the newest firmware but modified bug free, im thinking about porting H96 pro Firmware, if we port the rom only, it's basically bugfree and the launcher is much better looking, and the firmware is newer!

Edit: and will need help testing and porting it to the 3/32GB variant, my computer is starting to mess up, need a new and bigger SSD than my current one(120gb)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] :
Yes navbar sux in 1075
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Thanks for letting me know, in the H96 pro firmware this issue is not there!

This device is slowly coming to life, im gonna speak to a moderator about creating a forum for the T95Z plus, we have already got enough support, even just on this thread itself, the device is starting to become an actual android device, in gonna make a skeleton rom zip so anyone's able to make a rom out of the firmware and just add it to the zip file and re-distribute, once we make the first zip flashable rom, plenty more will come!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] zmanfarlee:
in for contributing coffee if you can get this working with a custom rom
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] elliwigy:
did you still need some apps and launcher etc etc from my mibox3? i was away since last time n didnt get to it lol it has google tv os, N, amlogic s905.. userdebug with locked bl and root shell..

still tryna sort out root but selinux is a pita

let me kno as im home now and can pull w.e u wanna check out
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Already got official 7.1.2 working on the device, once I make the rom skeleton zip file, heaps of Rome will be released!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Try pulling the whole system folder and uploading, it's s905 but not too hard to port to S912
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
1075 has finished uploading. From memory I'm pretty sure the build dates were the same, one difference that I know of being that the 1015 firmware had the Test Playstore removed and only the one Playstore instead of two. I'm pretty sure 1075 came out before the 1015, like the 1015 was a revised version of 1075 with the play store issue being fixed even though you would think by the numbering that 1075 was the newer one, but that's not the case. I'll see if I can try and find out where I read it.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Yeah that's quite odd with the numbering, as you said you would think the version numbering would be ascending, but who knows

Link me to the 1075 firmware and I'll check it out

Also you can check the kernel build date in the default.prop, that will tell us what one is newer!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
https://mega.nz/#F!qo9lBZgZ!_IslrLWgIc38-C_jfJv6yg

Under Firmwares
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
I stand corrected, seems the 1075 is the newer build.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
You never know with these Chinese manufacturers, they have no idea of stability, customisation, or features by demand, it was definately a possibility 1015 could have been the newer version, we will base research on 1075, I will port the 1075 kernel to 2/16GB and make a multi-rom with aroma to choose between variants, all mods we do will be compatible, we will have the newest release and fix stability issues
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] elliwigy:
ok, will work on it now and upload in a zip

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] elliwigy:
This is the whole /system from a Xiaomi MiBox3 (MDZ-16-AB) on Android 7.0 Beta 1028 (userdebug) Build... It is running Google TV OS which is pretty nice compared to some of the many janky Android boxes available lol.. would be nice if it was modded, I HATE the recommended crap and so far all the other launchers I have tried from the store were pretty bad lol..

I wonder, will the modded launcher from the OP work on this box? Would I just push to /system/app, set perms and reboot then use something to switch launchers to it? I will try right now I suppose lol, not doing anything else ATM..

Also, with root being blocked by Selinux, do you think it would make a difference if say I pre-rooted a rom using this system and pushed FF to the MiBox3 and flashed that way? For some reason I want to say it won't make a difference but you might know better than me when it comes to these Amlogic boxes lol

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] elliwigy:
To add, it is also wierd.. For some reason the boot.img isn't like any other boot.img I have come across.. Your kitchen seems it is unable to unpack it for editing.. I also tried the manual way and sukernel to edit it as well but none of the tried methods worked.. sometimes it even throws an "invalid boot image" lol.. Our BL is locked but is worth a shot if we can flash a modified boot as I am not sure if it will work or not on userdebug but so far I have not been able to edit the darn boot.img to even see what it does haha.. any ideas here would be appreciated too...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
In the first post theres an init.d package, with abit of modification make it unpack the boot.img on /sdcard of the device, see if that works
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Any chance you can do me a favour and tar the /system partition and upload it? It's got some odd symlinks and I've gotta know what symlinks are incleluded
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
The Oreo Preview system partition? I've tried unpacking the img through the Customisation tool, doesn't unpack fully, but does unpack the system folder if that is what you want, I can upload that.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
no completely different, you need terminal emulator on your device,from there execute

tar -cvf /sdcard/system.tar /system

and upload the system.tar file from /sdcard
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
Ok, so from my 1015 firmware that is on my box at the moment or did you want it from the 1075.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
either one, its gonna output the same results!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
Uploading now, should be there in a hour or two. Folder named 1015 Tar File.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
It's uploaded mate, should be able to grab it now.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
A quick update, we are moments away from releasing the first .zip flashable ROM for the T95Z plus
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] :
Will this work on the 3/32Gb AP6255 variants?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Will work on all variants
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] elliwigy:
these boots are not normal lol.. me and a few other devs cant get em unpacked lol either theyre encrypted or using some compression method we are unaware of.. ur kitchen, manual method, linux, android image studio, all fail lol

i can send em to u.. i have the boot.img from the firmware package and it pulled directly off the device.. for some reason the original is small but from device is larger in size.. if u get bored u can maybe take a crack at it?

if not its all good lol.. just tryna get a full root then i can contribute to your tool for the mibox3 folks who dont get much love on here lol we can at least get some stock based roms goin, root tools, debloat etc etc

i think maybe the supersu im using isnt good for N.. on mm userdebug its a selinux denial early before init.d and su.d are executed.. on N however it stops loading when it gets a cameraserver error.. when i remove it, then it stops at netd/iptables when it cant find interface dummy0.. of cpurse when i remove netd it just errors over n over
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] zmanfarlee:
I just got the box yesterday. If I just do the TWRP and your first rom you make will the launcher and init.d setup be taken care of by it?

Thanks!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
The TWRP won't install the launcher, instructions to install the launcher are in the main thread, I might make a flashable zip to do it!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
I'll give it a shot later tonight, ill let you know if I can, from there we should be able to modify sepolicy
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Also can you upload just your boot.img?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] elliwigy:
hey sorry for the delay haha.. I am currently working with some testers with some S8/S8+ firehose programmers before I release them.. I know they work on G955U rev1 so testing them on 8 and other revs and hopefully we can test downgrade lol.. Also working with some others to help unlock the bootloader on the vzw pixel 2/xl devices so I got a bit side tracked haha..

The zip has 2 boot.img... I honestly don't know why they are so different in size so I figured I'd just send both to you.. The original boot is the smaller size one and was in the firmware zip.. the larger one was pulled from the device itself...

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
The Amlogic ROM tool has successfully ported TWRP to an unsupported device!

The tool is nearing its release aswell as the first flashable rom for Android TV boxes

The only problem at the moment is the size of my SSD, I have less than 10GB left and i need to run a Linux distro on my PC and to get the correct file permissions, that's not possible with the amount of storage I have left and I can't afford a bigger SSD for a few weeks, so if anyone has a Linux distro and can get me the file permissions please give me a hand, this is the last thing stopping us from creating flashable roms for our device, porting 8.0 and making literally anyone a rom distributor!

Otherwise I will not be able to release until sometime next month!

Also just a heads up, i have a crapload of mods for all S912 devices im about to upload
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Are you sure they are the boot.img files not patch files?

A stock boot image is usually around 32mb each and I highly doubt they would use some really wierd format
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] elliwigy:
not sure.. there is one or two patch files in the firmware zip so it very much could be.. but even after its installed even pulling the boot.img from the device its still not able to be decompressed by anything.. that is why i also sent the boot from the device..

even a new mm update released yesterday is the same.. i also attached a pic of the updater script from yesterdays build
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Tthats extremely odd, can you DD the boot block?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] zmanfarlee:
Edit: sorry thought I had Linux comp. Looks like it won't turn on.
