That's what I originally thought but I was sure I dd'd to the right partition. I'll try again. So far I'm back at stock 7.12. I'll flash twrp again and make sure I'm on /dev/block/recovery

Ok update, flashed factory 7.1.2 again, reflashed 7.1.2 TWRP using

dd if=/sdcard/custom-recovery.img of=/dev/block/recovery

26940+0 records in

26940+0 records out

13793280 bytes transferred in 1.264 secs (10912405 bytes/sec)

Then tried flashing again ... same ... damn ... thing. ??? does the recovery partition mean something different on the factory 7.1.2 like should I be dd'ing to a different damn block dev? :confused: :(
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] SpEnTBoY:
Does anyone know what sizes I should see here (see attachment) after the flash? Do these seem right for a ROM that is 500MB?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Seems a little odd, maybe flash stock rom then try again, usually /system is 3-4 hundred mb, its /data that is massive

Also the recovery block doesnt change

Screensaver

I have noticed a slight bug with the screen saver not working in the latest v3 build. Very small issue but thought I 'd point it out.

Thanks Guys, great work!

-Gabe, KodiTalk
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] SpEnTBoY:
Yeah something is not working with the flash but I just don't know what. It goes really fast but shows no errors. I've tried about 5 times now with no luck starting right from step 1.

Things I've changed in the process:

1. After flashing stock 7.1.2 make sure it boots completely once (SUCCESS)

2. After booting stock and flashing recovery, verify I can boot both stock image as well as recovery (SUCCESS)

3. Verify stock image boots after wipe/basic factory reset (SUCCESS)

4. Flash Poison (NO LUCK)

Now the last thing to try is to flash from internal storage (/sdcard) rather than external SD card just on case it's trying to source some relative path stuff. Up until now I've been flashing from an external sdcard.

Is there any way to grab more logging or go verbose and not have it auto reboot? I'm attaching what the stock install partitions look like as well.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] SpEnTBoY:
[SOLVED]

Gah that was it *smacks head* ... it wont flash properly from external storage, need to flash from local storage (/sdcard/) and not an sd 'card' (ex_sdcard)

Since I'm the only dolt that ran into this I'm assuming it must be in the steps somewhere but just in case anyone has an issue: FLASH FROM LOCAL STORAGE lol :D
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] woodsy45:
Hello Gabe,

I had the same problem with my H96 Pro Plus. I thought it may have been because I use Dream Scene as my saver but Clock and Colours didn't work either.

I overcame it by going into Settings, Developer options and then selecting Background Process Limit. I set that At most, 1 process and then exited. I rebooted just for the hell of it, but that brought my Screen Saver back.

Hope that helps you.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] SpEnTBoY:
So Close ...

*sigh* OK mostly there ... it booted great but I have no 'Google' apps. I have Netflix, LED, Gallery, EF File Ex, and some standard ones. I did add my google account and thast worked however I do not have any apps or google play store. I'll keep poking around ...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ZeroZorro:
It's being worked on, although it worked for some after setup google account 2 or 3 times. I updated Google Play Services and Google Play manually (from for instance APKmirror).

Pushing Droidadmin apk is a good option also to avoid Google Play limitations

Good luck!

---------- Post added at 05:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:32 PM ----------

And...of course, you could add all the APK to the ROM before flashing it to avoid all the installation hassles ;)

Ricky made a great tool for that!!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] SpEnTBoY:
I'll see if I can find the apk. I tried flashing the gapps for 7.1.x arm64 (zip) however for some reason the ROM returns v 5.1.1?? (see attachment) also note: if I got to settings->apps->play store->Open it does actually launch ... just doesn't show up in the GUI's apps

My beelink gt1 Is at 7.1.2 already. Can I flash this rom with twrp with my original firmware already installed?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Don_Pachuco:
I was hoping to flash/install this, but I can't get back to stock 7.1.2. After going from an 18 month old superceleron rom, to a newer rom that is ATV based, I can't get past 96% on flashing stock in USB burn tool. Isn't 7.1.2 to 7.1.2 apples to apples? I also only have power off, sleep, reboot, and soft reboot as only power menu options. I have no recovery as far as I can tell. I'm screwed.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Jigga2g:
Does the nav bar disappear for everyone once minimized? Is this suppose to happen?

---------- Post added at 04:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:56 PM ----------

You can adb command to reboot recovery. Or if you have xposed on main screen go to reboot to recovery.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Don_Pachuco:
I don't have any of that. Prior to trying to do this rom, I did everything in USB burn tool. The only other experience I have in flashing is Odin.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] AccaOC:
That's how you are supposed to flash this.

If you can boot you can just install a terminal from playstore and give "reboot recovery"

OR

Get adb (you can install 15seconds adb from xda), open the folder with adb.exe and shift click in an empty part of the window, click open command prompt (or powershell and then write cmd and press return), make sure you have debug enabled on the box and give this command in the command prompt:

adb connect ip_of_the_box

accept the request on the box, go back to the pc and give

adb reboot recovery

Can you test an confirm this fix i uploaded works?

https://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=29749
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Haadkoe:
Will flash and give it a look as soon as this movie is over, assuming the family doesn't object too loudly. ;) Thanks again!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Haadkoe:
Flashed the fix. Play store works from launcher, though it did stop responding on initial launch but progressed after hitting wait. Will try again in the future to see if it's a consistent thing or one time and will report back.

Double checked, wifi still was able to be enabled, still shows my available networks, though I didn't unplug my Ethernet cable to confirm it works but no reason to think it wouldn't.

One thing maybe worth mentioning, though not related to the fix you just posted. Occasionally, I've been noticing my display will glitch out for a half second. Only recall seeing it happen while looking at the launcher, never during media playback or while scrolling epg or anything. Unsure of cause, but figured I'd mention it in case anyone else had noticed the same.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Good feedback,ive have a few reports like this, could you mess around with the CEC settings? Maybe completely disable it or chabge a few settings?

Did you flash that fix through recovery
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Haadkoe:
Yessir, once again I dirty flashed via twrp. No issues to speak of.

As far as the CEC settings, it's not something I'm too familiar with. We talking settings on the box or the tv itself? I'll do a bit of digging to see what I can see. Just disabled CEC on my tv. Will see how it goes.

Also, regarding the play store issue, did you work any magic with that suspect play store app or just re-insert it? Hasn't hung again since that first time, fwiw.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
That hang the first time of the Play Store is normal, sometimes it appears as though it closes or sometimes it will hang and needs to be restarted, it's doing the version check. After it restarts it should be fine.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Haadkoe:
Good to know thanks. It wasn't a big deal, just mentioned it in the name of feedback. My bigger concern though was the unknown play store that the launcher directs to, and if Ricky was able to explore and address any potential security concerns with it.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Great!

Ive reinserted the original app, its not malicious, its simply a playstore launcher
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Haadkoe:
Great to know, thanks!

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] AccaOC:
It should, make a twrp with the AMlogic tools, do a backup and try it. If something doesn't work you can always revert to stock.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] AccaOC:
Are you trying to flash it from stock recovery?

Make a TWRP with AMlogic tools and flash it whit the tool itself (It has all you need, extract recovery > port twrp > flash > reboot recovery)

Put the rom on a sdcard, boot recovery and flash it.

Alternatively you can make a twrp and boot it from sdcard, this involves knowing where your box has "the button".
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] papla83:

Thx by advance.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] AccaOC:
The image you posted shows the *stock* recovery, you need to be on twrp either flashed or booted from sdcard.

I don't know how to check you ported twrp honestly but if you *think* you are booting it and you land on that recovery than you are not booting it, it will clearly say twrp.

If you can't flash the twrp from the AMlogic tool post in that thread instead and post the error so ricky can see it and maybe help you.

I took the 7.1.2 stock for 3 32Gb on the post (1076), flashed it on my box with burning tool by usb.

started the box, activated the developer options, connected from my computer by the amltools to my box, allowed the developer right with always option, then the amltools was connected.

went on backup menu, selected backup recovery and backup to folder, it's worked for fews minutes and showed me a message backup finished.

Then i have at this time a files on my computer, it's a 32Mb file.

So i went on porting TWRP, selected file on my hdd, and selected create TWRP, it worked for few minutes.

Then i have at this time a second file smaller (14Mb) than the first (the stock).

went to the first menu, seleceted "i'm flashing recovery", selected my generated file, selected "flash" and when is finish i selected reboot to recovery.

my box booted on recovery mode but not TWRP.

i make mistake for sure but where or when ?

Is what I've read about these amlogics true? If you attempt any gaming on these, they heat up to an insane temperature?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] derdigga:
yep, they are overclocked as far as i know. You should just unscrew it and put a bigger cooler on it and new thermal paste. Should give you a huge performance boost(less throttling) and you will have longer fun with it.

So I don't understand what do you mean when you say pull the recovery from device option... I don't know how to do that.

Hi Lemach, how have you managed to install ROM v2, I've got also Mecool KIII PRO 3/32 however after TWRP install just getting black screen, I waited for 20 min and nothing.

Ricky dou you have de-bloating script as flashable zip?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ZeroZorro:
I mentioned this already in another thread, but i got it working on my T95Zplus 2/16 this way (in short):

1. Flash Stock ROM 7.1.2 from OP with USB Burning Tool (not sure, but I think I used version 2.16)

2. Boot AndroidBox and set Developer Mode and after that enable USB Debugging

3. Confirm you are connected to home network/internet with Ehternet or WiFi and look for IP address of the box

3. Connect your PC to your AndroidBox with Ricky's Amlogic tool using the IP of your AndroidBox and extract Stock Recovery from Stock ROM you just installed. Convert Stock Recovery to TWRP and inject it back to your AndroidBox (so now you are still on 7.1.2 with concerted Recovery)

4. Boot into Recovery and Flash Poison ROM. (I did not wipe Data/Cache before but it is recommended by Developer to do before a fresh install.

5. Reboot and enjoy!

I will answer in case somebody else has same issue.

See below steps for installing Poison ROM on KIII PRO 3GB / 32GB (board type q20x) from KIII PRO stock firmware 7.1.1 20171013:

1.) It is necessary to flash full firmware using USB_Burning_Tool v2.0.8, T95ZPLUS firmware 7.1.2 from 1st page "Here is 7.1.2 stock for 3/32 - Download here"

2.) Boot from SD card using TWRP 3.2.1-0 recovery image, twrp.q20x-3.2.1-0.img from freaktab.com

3.) Install flash Poison ROM, from 1st page "DOWNLOAD V3.0 BETA 2 REVISION 1"

---------- Post added at 06:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 PM ----------

Hi Ricky, see few issues I have spotted while using Poison ROM on KIII PRO 3/32 board q20x:

1.) Standard remote controller from KIII PRO does not work at all (Wireless i8 keyboard works fine)

2.) No wireless networks / ssids while wifi on, wifi has to be manually switched on (off in default)

3.) While in settings sometimes get not responding message (settings isn't responding: Close app or Wait)

4.) LED status does not work correctly, example: set blue -> chassis led red, set green -> chassis led blue

If you need more details to troubleshoot I can send pictures.

The better answer to this problem is turning off under developer options to turn off "Stay Awake".... this tells the device to never turn the screen off when charging and as we are using TV boxes they are always charging.... I hope this helps you out too :)
