He means, that the files for remote stay on the disk during the flashproces(if not by usb flashing method). So after the install, the remote should still work.

A bug, yes, when i use vorke z6 7.1.2 rom for this poison updating, i get stuck either at the bootanimation(so the last frame of the animation stays on the screen for ages), or i get the wanted black screen, but after 15 minutes still black screen. My phone is a q201 mecool km8 p 1gb/8gb. Can you fix this?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
Everything is the same guys, do a standard wipe, then install through TWRP. On first reboot, be a little patient while it is installing the pre-installed apps for the first time.

If installing for the first time, flash your boxes stock 7.1.2 Firmware then twrp and then do the standard wipe and install Poison 4.2 zip. This is the best way to try and maintain the use of your stock remote and drivers for your box.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
Have you installed Poison 4.2 already?

Do you know what version the stock firmware is for your box, it has to be 7.1.2. Here is a link to the official firmware, but I can't tell you what version it is. http://www.vorke.com/project/support-center-vorke-z6/

I seen you posted you had trouble installing the Stock Firmware over at Freak Tab, that's got to be your first step before you even think about flashing Poison Rom.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mark-1978:
No, 4.1 not, but the version that was on the front post yesterday i did. And i don't see changes in the log that would make it work now. Did you change something with the boot process in between?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
Until you get the Stock 7.1.2 firmware for you box installed properly (not how you said you did it over at Freak Tab), a proper one time flash through USB Burning Tool, it's most likely not going to work.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] inscriber:
no I download T95Z rom that ricky has put links on first page for 2 and 3gb ram.in the zip file is txt file or maybe picture I don't remember this file explain everything but in short theare are 3 main files copy them to sd card and run sd card boot maker you can find it in zip file too. after yhat remove power pin reset button in av jack and put power while still keep pushing reset. wait until rom is fully loaded give it 10min after you see launcher ready it still install apps.. in this time you can make twrp with ricky rom customization tool from official x92 img file. rename it to recovery. img put it to sd card put poison zip too. unplug power off reset button plug power. swipe to wipe and flash poison.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] bluefender:
installed v4.2 still no remote control function..sadly
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
I just looked at what remote comes with your box, no wonder it doesn't work, lol. It's not a normal remote. As quoted from the Manufacturer website.

"if you combine this tv box with the New S77 Pro remote it’s possible to use your voice to control this TV box, using Google Now! just like a Google Home, Amazon Echo or a Siri Speaker. "

It's not your normal Android box actually looking at it, you can even add an Internal Sata Harddrive from looking at the website. Interesting looking Box indeed.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] bluefender:
thanks for reply, i did not come with the s77 just a bog standard remote, under the battery compartment its reads ty-43a, yes i have put in a 2.5 hard drive amazing device, it is amlogic board inside. over at freaklab there is a spec and breakdown of the box internally.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
Yeah, watching the video now about the box, just said that the other remote is optional same as a game controller is optional.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ZeroZorro:
This update (4.1 >.4.2) can't be performed through OTA yet?

---------- Post added at 04:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:27 PM ----------

Seem to remember i did use a Logitech Gamepad Z710 on my T95Z in the past. I will try again in near future to confirm...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] bluefender:
im thinking nougat has something to do with it, iv swapped file in and out it does not have a remote,conf file but a remote,config, i was thinking maybe to flash the s912 firmware on page 1 and then poison over that, but i do not want to brick the box..or would it ? could you have a look at the firmare for my box from there site, it looks just like the Zoomtak UPlus just rebadged.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
No, OTA is not working, I've taken it out of 4.2 as well, so you won't even see that option anymore.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
No, it shouldn't brick the box, in saying that it is not a Normal Android box either so I can't say for sure what would happen as I have never used your box before. It may not work and throw up an error midway through flashing, only way to tell is to actually try. Before doing that, I would make sure that you have a copy of your original Firmware and that you know it flashes as well. If the flashing of the T95Z firmware didn't work, then you would need to flash back your original firmware. Hopefully this would still work, Is the Risk worth the Reward? Have you tried a Rii Controller at all? I have added Quick Reboot Pro to Poison 4.2 and there is an option to Power Off the box that way. Only thing is to turn the box on you would have to do it through a Power Point.

Watching that video, it looks like the Stock Firmware is a modified version of various different boxes and firmwares? Very strange.

Emergency over! I managed to find something small enough to go into the hole (AV hole) managed to wipe the slate clean after finally getting into recovery mode and goodnight vienna. Problem solved. My kodi build re-installing itself now
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
I seem to have no problem?

Sleep and wake work fine, could possibly be an Amlogic error, take a logcat for me please

Have you tried another VPN client?

In newer builds you can expect an inbuilt VPN client baked into settings
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] simonchunk:
Found issue. Another APK i'd baked into the ROM was using an adblocker via VPN. Deleted it and issue resolved.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
There's no need for 3rd party adblockers, I have baked in an adblockers hosts file that's blocks all if not most ads, but it is quite outdated, I'll be sure to find a newer one and bake it in
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] simonchunk:
I've noticed this, works great
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] marty_s13:
I'll give it a shot. Never done a logcat before but sure I can figure it out. Might not show much since it doesn't even get to boot properly but maybe it'll show something on the shutdown.

Could it be because im running 7.1.2? Seemed to be fine up until recently though, thinking maybe a hardware issue.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] murerlars:
Any chance I can remove this host file before I install the ROM??? There is several websites I can't access because they're blocked. I didn't had any problems on the original ROM :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Possibly, maybe a full wipe will fix it?

you can replace the /system/etc/hosts with the stock one
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Probably gonna need a KMESG
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] marty_s13:
What's a KMESG and how can I get one?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] epoch555:
Is anyone using this on a beelink gt1? I just pickled up the ultimate, and I'm not happy with the stock video quality and gui.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] freak69ize:
I was wondering if someone here could help me. I just got my T95Z today.. its Easytone 2gb - 16gb model. Anyways i think i may have bricked it. When i booted it for the first time i seen it had root explorer so i thought it was already rooted so i installed SU from Play Store and when i updated SU bianary it said sucessful but on reboot it hung on boot forever. So then i downloaded a fw that i think is for the 2gb ver. when i burnt it to a sdcard and stuck it in the slot i used a little screwdriver to hold down the reset button and plugged it in i saw something for a split second on the screen and then went blank. Now i cant get it to do anything. All i get is a blank screen and the led lights up but not the clock. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Also.. i cant seem to find the 2g firmware anywhere for Easytone T95Z
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] k.martin:
Just use this rom and magisk for root and you should be fine

---------- Post added at 09:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 PM ----------

Or try factory reset from recovery menu
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] murerlars:
Worked like a charm, thanks man:good::highfive:
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] freak69ize:
That what i wanted to do.. install this rom.. but.. i cant get the box to do anything. Ive tried pushing reset button and plugging it in to get into recovery.. nothing.. ive tried burning fw to card.. inserting it in tf slot.. pushing in on reset and plugging it in.. nothing. The olny thing i do get is the top led lights up.. thats it
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] k.martin:
Are you sure you pressing on reset in AV hole?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] freak69ize:
Yeah i believe so. I feel it clicking when i press down on it
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] k.martin:
Well it should at least boot into recovery... So not sure try ask Ricky he might know...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] simonchunk:
Flash this 7.1.1 with USB Burning Tool

http://geekbuying.mediafire.com/file/4b7b3gmgs9u7hns/T95Z_Plus.img
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] bluefender:
its bit of an enigma, no risk no reward...ermm tempting, would you, maybe its modified for the uk market.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
I can't answer that mate, but to put it in a perspective, I have a Android TV that I played around with a bit not knowing what it would do really trying to install TWRP, I had a few scares of messing it up very badly, so I decided to not play around with it anymore. Lesson I got from that, until I see someone else that has successfully done something specific to a specific model, I'm not going to be the Guinea Pig.

This Rom was originally designed for the T95Z boxes, we are still unsure what other S912 boxes it actually will work on.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] bluefender:
im very tempted, and yes i have the original firmware, and twrp installed, backups to sd cards and external hard drives..just incase

ill mull it over before jumping in, i do not see on any forums development for this box sadly, third party roms, its a great box though

havig that sata port inside is a bonus, all my movies and tunes.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Its built with the same SDK so most devices it should work on as the rom only mods /system

So unless there is extensive mods deeped in the firmware required to work then it should support every chipset, im also pretty sure you can port S905x firmware simply by swapping system, boot and dtb partitions
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] bluefender:
ricky, do you think it will work and not brick my device, would you chance it m8.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Is it a .img or zip?

Edit, just checked, no this cannot brick your device at all, you could flash it on an S905w/x or even a samsung(literally ANY device) without the risk of bricking

Even if things dont work like clock, remote etc, a simple restore of the stock firmware with USB burning tool or a restore from TWRP backup will fix everything
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tikntin:
if i upgrade from 4.1 to 4.2, do i have to do the wipe? and will that wipe out the config i've done with Kodi and button mapper? i had already downgraded Kodi to 17.6 and had set up button mappper to use the LED button as play/pause with my Harmony universal remote. is there a way i can make sure my app configs don't get wiped out? or a way i can restore them safely?

new to this so any help would be appreciated, thx!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] dishme:
someone on freaktab tested this rom against an H96 Pro Plus, works as advertised except sadly the WIFI does not work.

So the OTA updater app will not be functional?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Ota updates are functional, but was removed recently, Ill help whiteak with a settings backup script, im just very busy these days and so much going on in life, but like i said the rom is in good trustworthy hands
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Jigga2g:
Your work and time is much appreciated. Am sure everyone using ur rom will agree, your family and personal life come first.

I absolutely love the rom. Of course those of us here using it have figured out the advantages of using ur rom and then look to making it ours as much as possible too.

I thank you again and donated because the product actually is pretty awsome.

can i flash the T95Z Stock 7.1.2 Firmware using twrp, or do i have to use the cable method
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ZeroZorro:
AFAIK you have to use USB method one last time before 'going Poison'
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Chris_Gee_:
Hi Ricky ,

Just installed 4.2 on my box,

couple of issues ,

Number 1 is the boot up video doesn't display properly when booting up.

Number 2 is when I log into Google Play it's asking me to buy the apps ive already bought ? Didn't have that problem on 4.1.

Ive reverted back to 4.1 at this time.

Thanks again.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Wave123456:
T95R Pro Confirmed

Appreciate the work Ricky. Great Rom. 4.1 release is working on 3 of my T95R Pro boxes. I had to use the T95Z firmware and SDCard burner software to update the bootloader (ya I was a lil nervous about it being the wrong firmware and all but I figured go big or go home!) Happy to report it is running flawlessly like butter in a pan ma man. Many thanks! :cool:
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] techspy:
Can anyone confirm this works with a TX9 Pro? I installed via TWRP over the stock rom. It shows the poison boot logo, then an expanding sphere thing and about 3 seconds into that animation the image starts breaking up like it is out of sync, then the screen goes black and stays that way.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] drakulaboy:
we need a Launcher editing tutorial :)

BTW, did not tested the 4.2, is the bottom bar fixed? after hiding the bar can it be dragged back?

Z69 Max bootloop

Hi Ricky,

I have TV Box Z69 Max 3GB/32GB S912 q201 with wifi AP6255 and video Mali T820.

I have TWRP 3.1 installed.

I have installed a custom ROM with 7.1.2 for Vorke Z6 Plus like works fine but I like to try your ROM !

I have tried to install version 4.1 with TWRP after reboot, it starts, then shows the boot logo, then an animation for some seconds, then again boot logo and does not pass from there. Also I try to burn first your stock 7.1.2 with USB burning tool but it ends with an error when I try to burn.

Any ideas that can help me to install your ROM ?!

Thanks, Bernardo.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] minixfreak:
I have tried to install on my t95U pro and it does not load shows the boot logo then black afterwards waited foir a long time .... its so similiar to t95z plus except the clock is different ..... can you tell me why its not working ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] bluefender:
i flashed T95Z Stock 7.1.2 Firmware, went smothly, but my remote does not work with it, back to square one ouch, i did not flash poison over the top of it as i seen no point, the remote probably would not work as well.

i tried to reinstall original firmware, but now twrp is gone and it has reverted to the boxes original recovery screen

also on screeen reads dtb check failed, e:error in sd card then mention firmware number then status 7 below.

when i reboot the t95z rom is there though, i suppose i could buy a remote for the t95z and hope for the best

what happened to the twrp that i had installed.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
I am aware of the boot video, played fine on my Laptop when testing, but didn't realize it doesn't play nice with the box until after I had already uploaded Rom, is a easy fix though, I will try and find another boot video in the next couple of days.

As for the Play Store issue, not sure what's going on there, would be very interested to see if anyone else has the issue, I had no issues like that.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
Were you on Stock 7.1.2 first?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Jigga2g:
Another request for the roms next update.

Can that annoying rocket sound be silenced when clearing the ram button?

I tried to take out the mp3 myself but messed up the launcher.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Record a silent mp3 file a replace it
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
For anyone who downloaded Poison 4.2 before this post, the boot video didn't work as expected. I have made a new one which can be downloaded here.

The boot video from Poison 4.1 can be downloaded from here.

To replace the boot video, you need to delete the current one by going to ES File Explorer and then going to /system/etc and delete the bootvideo file and then you need to paste the bootvideo file from above, reboot and you will have a much better boot video.

Anyone who downloads Poison 4.2 now, the boot video has already been updated, this fix is only for anyone who had downloaded it prior to the fix.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] drakulaboy:
i use this video, like the surface of the tv box :D
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] user5863:
[MENTION=8898246]whiteak[/MENTION], [MENTION=244033]ricky[/MENTION]

I have observed the following strange thing.

When I try to install Poison 3.xx or 4.xx on GT1 or GT1 Ultimate over 708NO with qca9377 wifi , as a result WiFi/BT newer works, even impossible move wifi switch in settings.... The solution is the following.:

For GT1/GT1Ultimate with g912 chipset one should install clean latest 708NO firmware, then flash TWRP, then flash first Poison2.0-3_32.zip file and only after that upgrade to 4.2. Then it is working, Why??? Something with kernel, boot or what??
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Chris_Gee_:
Yeah it's certainly a strange one.

Reverted back to 4.1 last night put in my Google details and could download my pay apps no problems.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Jigga2g:
I am sticking to the stock 4.1 poison rom boot video.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ZeroZorro:
No problems with Google Play with Poison 4.2 on this side. Only thing is that it stays on Download Pending for quite a long time before actually downloading apps.

Maybe in future release there could be a toaster (or something like that) implemented that informs when (last) app is installed after first initial boot after flashing ROM

If that's too much trouble you could also let us know which is the last icon we have to wait for to appear on home-screen?

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Xeferil:
Hi,

Flashing new 4.2 ROM will delete all my apps and configs on 4.1??

I did have some problems with 4.1 hanging and freezing when in kodi and only solution was to unplug and reboot. Do you think new ROM can solve any issues??
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Gabsthejerk:
Good question [MENTION=8898246]whiteak[/MENTION], could we dirty flash?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Haadkoe:
It automatically wipes, so no, it won't allow a dirty flash. Backup your apps and settings with Titanium, then restore them with Titanium once you get 4.2 flashed and you login and can access the play store.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Jigga2g:
Can I do this without having to reinstall the rom allover again?

I was able to put the silent mp3 in the raw folder and named rocket.mp3 like the orig. Restarted the box and then keep getting launcher stopped working. Luckily I was able to go to recent and entered esexploerer and was able to place back the original launcher apk back.

Am I somehow able to put the silent rocket.mp3 into the original launcher apk?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Haadkoe:
Just a guess, but maybe check the files permissions. Open the original mp3 in es, check to see what the permissions are set to, and make sure to set your replacement file the same.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Jigga2g:
Original launcher apk and the one I did have same permissions.

So pissed off. I thought by editing the launcher apk insider the rom zip file itself and then flashing rom all over again with the new silent rocket.mp3 would work. Nope! Launcher still crashed. Now gotta install all my apps and stuff again. Arg.

All to get rid of that darn rocket sound.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ZeroZorro:
Not entirely true, not a complete wipe in my experience:

After performing a standard wipe in TWRP I flashed 4.2 on top of 4.1

Yes, had to reinstall all apps, but all settings and addons were preserved in Kodi. Even Trakt add-on did not need reactivation.

Maybe OPs can shed some light on this and clearify what happens under the hood?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Haadkoe:
This is accurate. It retained my kodi settings as well.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Wave123456:
Dude...

Flash stock, you're doing this only for the boot loader. Then boot TWRP. Format everything except your backup on the external sd, under "wipe" option. Then install Poison. Let's her boot and enjoy. If your remote still doesn't work, heh, change the damn batteries.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Jigga2g:
Anyone know how to change what app is opened from launcher tiles?

Don't use kodi

So want the kodi time to launch tarrium tv instead.

Hey ricky. You had offered to make a flushable zip that would change kodi time to TTV. I know your super busy with stuff. If u can point me in the direction for how to change it I would try.

Thanks
