Thus exactly why I think it's a modified playstore distributed with the firmware

Yeah as far as I know all boxes are rooted from factory, a very wierd root implemention as updating SU results in a bootloop, simply removing Su files from xbin removes root and only then you can root with magisk with TWRP

In the program I'm making there's an update GAPPS option, this will fix the issue and romkve old play store
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Deleted member 2358282:
Ok so it sounds like I should wait for your newer stuff to come out? Or does what youve released already add Magisk?

Is my firmware current? Wirless UPdate says it is
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] bigsteve01:
Looks like a great project will it also work on a t95u pro
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mehmehmeh123:
hey here is a few bugs i have with t95z with the latest 1075

settings crash and the fake playstore

bluetooth audio is not working it just sounds weird

uhm the navigation bar if u click on it need to reset it to get it back up

im using h96 firmware on my t95 much better firmware

but the only thing that is not working

is the device wont go to sleep

it just turns screen off but device is still running

and the last thing is if u power off the device u cant power it on with the remote for some reason

if u able to take h96 firmware and make it work with the t95z remote it will be perfect cuz the h96 firmware everything works
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Deleted member 2358282:

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Deleted member 2358282:
Confused....will this do the same things for the T95Z plus you were working on before?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mehmehmeh123:
i think the stock firmware only need small modifications and its fine

but i have no clue how to do them my self
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Yes, it will do all plus more!

If you check all my other tools, I'm able to make ANYONE a rom developer, even with not programming experience.

This tool will do EVERYTHING at the click of a button

Its completely out of the box stock

-Ported ramdisk

-Ported apps

-Ported framework

-Modified build.prop

-Ripped straight off a 3/32GB Variant of the T95Z plus

Will try after i received a new power adapter (running through usb-cable right now) and installed TWRP! Thanks a lot for effort and time!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] papla83:
OK but for the 32gb users where is the link to have your rebuild 7.1.2 and where can I find the process to install twrp
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
I'm working on one, should be done in a day or two, I have one finished now, but I'm just doing a few tweaks and such, like removing some of the stock apps I don't like or use and replacing them with ones that are more useful like adless Youtube, latest Playstore and Netflix etc. Process to install TWRP (Custom Recovery) is on the first post by OP, have to install ADB on your computer and then follow instructions.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] h8isgr8:
I found the 3GB/32GB on geekbuying for 67USD so went ahead and ordered it. 17 hours left on the "flash sale" if anyone is interested. I'll have to wait a couple of weeks for it now and there's no chance of returning it like with Amazon, but I saved 17USD. Now I can use that money to buy a better remote; one with a keyboard on the reverse side. I just hope it has the white LED display like the product page shows and not blue like some customer posted pictures.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] zmanfarlee:
HUGE!!!!

THANK YOU! Was able to install TWRP and now am using USB burning tool to install your 7.1.2 firmware then will try to update launcher. Thank you so much!!!

How can I donate some coffee money?

edit: Lol, crap I bricked it I will try to redo. Happy I was able to get this far though

---------- Post added at 01:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 AM ----------

So it looks like I bricked my device. I cant get it recognized by the USB burning tool. Any common missteps I may be missing. I put TWRP on it and then I used the USB Burning tool to flash the image on the first page and now it's bricked. Any ideas are GREATLY Appreciated!!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
EVERYONE! From now on USB burning tool is no longer needed, you don't have to worry about bricking your device or destroying wifi, DO NOT EVER USE USB BURNING TOOL.

Get your device to a stable state and take a backup inside recovery, any firmware you would like to flash will have to be done in recovery.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] :
Are you going to alter OP with new instructions? I still see USB burning tool in OP
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
The new thread contains instructions, I'll make a video later on about how to flash, TV boxes are finally treated like android devices
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
I have made a thread for the 3/32GB Variant here
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
What variant are you mate, 2/16gb or 3/32gb? Can you still boot into TWRP at all by holding in the reset button while plugging the power in? If so, install one of the zips, mine for 3/32gb or Ricky's for 2/16gb, Just wipe system, data and cache first then install the zip. If you can't get into TWRP, to get the box picked up by USB Burning tool, I don't open USB Burning tool up yet, I plug one end of the usb cable into the box USB Port next to the ethernet port. Press and hold the reset button in, while still holding it in, plug the other end of the usb cable into a USB 2 port on your PC (Not USB 3 port), keep holding reset button in for a few seconds after the PC picks it up, should have made a noise, then open USB Burning tool. Should be picked up by it.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] papla83:
Hi. After push the twrp on my device by adb i can't start in recovery mode by adb. Can i try by the reset buton ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Give me about 1 hour, making an ADB tool to automate this
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] papla83:
I try by reset button and same result :( i don't understand what is wrong and why my t95z plus doesn't start in recovery.

Just a little question about the clock on the front. is it possible to have a 24 houre format or not ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ZeroZorro:
If you can't wait for the fixed ADB command you could always install an app (Simple Reboot for instance) that will make this possible. Of course given that you can boot into GUI at the moment....
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] papla83:
i think is not an adb command's problem, i think the TWRP isn't for my device, but i have a 32Gb 3Gb (ddr3) version and i take the twrp by the link on the first page.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Im making the thread for the tool now

Will do the video on the tool later but its simple to use.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Tools uploaded, download the tool, download the 3/32GB TWRP recovery from this thread, follow instructions in the thread!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] papla83:
On the start thread page?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Nope, from this page HERE

I just re-uploaded due to a bug, so if you already downloaded re-download
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] zmanfarlee:
Thanks for reply

3/32gb. I tried your version of connecting to computer and still no dice in USB burning tool. It was a little weird when I first got it so I think the Yalaga version may just be bad news. It may have been cheapest on Amazon for a reason. If you have any other Ideas let me know. At this point I think I will be returning it :(
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ZeroZorro:

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] LeMaestro:
When you used the USB burning tool to upload the firmware it erased the TWRP you had already on it.

If holding up the reset button while plugin in the USB cable on the Device do not make USB burning tool see your device on release of the reset button, there is not many option.

First make sure you are using a usb port on the back of the computer not on front, even if a front usb see the device it might not have enough juice to push the firmware.

Second make sure you are using the OTG usb port(usually port no 1) on the device, the others will not work.

If USB burning tool still can not see the device then I recommend watching this video up to the end:

https://youtu.be/CUfKNNgxb9E

This is the method I had to use to recover my box. But you must not be scared to get your hand dirty.

If USB burning tool give you an error after 2% than you are trying to flash the wrong firmware, find the right one, not always easy believe me.

If you can not boot to recovery this is probably the only option you have.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ZeroZorro:
Well, works for me too on PC but not on smartphone...got it.... :good:
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] papla83:
hello, i have a question. on my 3Gb/32Gb set top box the only one recovery working is the recovery for 16/2gb variant. so i try to put in by the working recovery a custom rom for 3gb 32Gb variant... but it doesn't work att all, when i reboot, i'm waiting for 15 minutes with nothing on the box LCD display and just t95z plus on TV.

My question is : according the only recovery working on my 3gb/32Gb set top box is for 16gb/2gb variant, can i try to flash my set top box 3gb/32gb with a rom for 16gb/2gb variant because for the moment i can't boot with a 3gb/32Gb variant rom?

For the developers, i have an original installation recovery backup if you want to check what is inside and how to do for my hardware.

---------- Post added at 09:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 AM ----------

So i'm too impatient, i flashed with the 7.1.2 16/2 variant and the set top box boot and i have the launcher... but it's the old launcher with an error message after few secondes com.droidlogic.subtitleservice has stopped.

---------- Post added at 09:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 AM ----------

and if i setup my wifi the box restart and hang on startup animation... [MENTION=8898246]whiteak[/MENTION] [MENTION=5105831]Ricky Divjakovski[/MENTION] what are you thinking about ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
I'm still curious to see what hardware you actually have, that's why I asked earlier if you could install CPU-Z from the playstore so I could have a look at what specs it showed under the device tab. I'm curious to see if you actually have a 2/16 box and not the 3/32.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] papla83:
Yes I forgot to do that I'll put my backup and do that in few minutes.

I can confirm that i was able to flash ROM and boot when i unplug the LAN cable as described in few posts back. But strange enough the apps i had installed in previous ROM and settings are still there. If i plug LAN cable back in boot animation starts and it freezes on logo. Unplugging LAN cable again gives me back launcher with the 'com.droidlogic.SubTitleService has stopped' error.

Another thing: Model says T95ZPLUS, Version says 7.1.2, Kernel version 3.14.29 and Build T5P1015. Hope it helps....

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ZeroZorro:
One more thing and to make report complete: there are some new apps added after flashing this ROM
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] papla83:
What is the brand of your box?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ZeroZorro:
Well....brand is too much credits, i think there are a whole lot of resellers that sell the same with a different name but it is a T95Zplus from OTT for what it's worth ;)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] papla83:
And under the box do you have a sticker written "vontar"?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ZeroZorro:
Nope...only a QPS and a barcode...that's it...but it doesn't really matter does it?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] papla83:
It could be important to know why only us have exatly same troubles.

Your box is 32gb 3gb or 16 gb 2gb?

The custom recovery used by you is for 16gb or 32gb?

And what is the recovery version used on your device? 3.0.2 or 3.1.1?

What is the rom do you install on your box and what is the orignal version of the stock rom used on your device?

Hi.

Is there tool to pack files (SD upgrade metod) in image for USB Burning tool upgrading metod?

I have confidence and good expirinece in usb upgreading with that app.

Customization tool for nougat dosen't exist.

I have bad expirience with upgrading via network.

Thanks for answer.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
I have a ROM skeleton that can flash your upgrade through TWRP recovery, I'll upload it later, simply unpack the firmware with customisation tool, drag and drop the system folder into the .zip and rename boot.partition to boot.img and throw that inside the .zip too

There is no longer ANY need for USB burning tool.

With this method you can backup your device before flashing so if something does go wrong your device is completely recoverable

Has anyone had trouble with a wireless KeyBoard with the 7.1.2 software? I could not get the Enter key to work with most apps, especially browsers....so typing in addresses was useless..

I've got a T95Zplus on the way (3GB/32GB version) I guessing these are one of the better android boxes and from what I can gather you can customize the firmware? (I've had a few android boxes before but never customised any so the whole custom firmware will be new to me)

Hello every body. How can I be sure to have a 32gb 3gb version? For example, can I try to test my ram with some apps like memtest on pc? Or maybe can I try to fill the space available on my box with somes large files to be sure it isn't a upgraded (fake) 3gb 32g version likes the SD card buy in China for 10$ to 128gb?

Every tests are OK the built in storage is truly a 32gb (I fill it with no error to be sure) and the ram seems to be 3gb too (I use an app named fill memory to simulate a full memory use) and I do a memtest with no errors.

At this time we are 3 people with the same box 3gb 32gb in 1073 stock rom and for us and our box the only TWRP working is for the 2gb 16gb and the only rom booting is for 2gb 16gb too.
