OMG, I have the same problem ( x96 Mini, maybe Fake CHIP), and haven't got the solution

Flash with a USB burning tool has not solved the problem,

firmware that I have tried

1. atvXperience_S905W_V2FF

2. atvXperience_S905W_V2H_FINAL

3. X96 MINI (original version)

4. NonchersV2.9

but still having an error "[0x10103005]Romcode/Initialize DDR/Download buffer/Read item data failed"

maybe someone can share when they have found a solution

Hi, i've followed this guide on my x96 2/16 GB mini but something went wrong. I flashed the .img via sd card it goes to installing but after second it showed the green robot with a red x. Now when i start the tv it shows the aptxperience log and get on stuck there. Can someone help me? I downloaded "s905w_atvXperience_v2FF.rar" Thanks
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] N'ayam Amarsh'e:
Flash it via usb burning tool and it will fix all the issues
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] N'ayam Amarsh'e:
Damn those fake x96 minis.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tekno281:
So i need to buy a male to male USB 2.0 right?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] N'ayam Amarsh'e:
Yep, I bought one for $3, works great
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tekno281:
Ok Now i've been able to install the nonchers 2.9. I read previous messages. How can i check if my x96 mini in true or fake?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] N'ayam Amarsh'e:
If no firmware flashes, even the stock one then it's a fake one with fake uboot.

The reason why you weren't able to flash atvx v2ff with sd card was because it had different maps to partitions which amlogic doesn't recognise in sd card.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tekno281:
Ok thank you so much. Can i buy a male to male usb 3.0 too? The 2.0 is more difficult to find
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] N'ayam Amarsh'e:
Yes, 3.0 is backwards compatible
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tekno281:
Thanks a lot. Last question: i read that this rom has a modded netflix for ultra hd. Probably it will ask me to update, can i update or i need to discard?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] N'ayam Amarsh'e:
Discard.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Sval:
so there is still no other solution for "fake x96 mini" right now ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tekno281:
Hi I succeded installing atxperience on my x96 with usb cable and all working. When i start netflix i discard update and when i try login it says "incorrect username or password". I checked but it was correct. Any suggestions? Netflix Italia
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] N'ayam Amarsh'e:
Strange, maybe the Netflix mod apk stopped working. Download an apk of the phone version and try it
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] luka69:
Hi, can you help me? I've a box x96 mini 4/32 and I would like to try your rom...sfortunately with usb burning tool it don't works and stopped at 4% [0x10303004]Romcode/Switch status/Identify/Error result

Now the box don't start, I've tried many roms but nothing to do it always stop the upgrade....

The chipset is S905W
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] hoatienii:
Should i buy tx3 mini or tx5
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] N'ayam Amarsh'e:
Modified uboot. Ask the seller to give you stock firmware.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] N'ayam Amarsh'e:
Tx5 is better I guess
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] haksam:
hi N'ayam, I must be too stupid to follow your guides,

I keep downloading the .rar file from the MEGA website but on my desktop it keeps saying "the archive is either in unknown format or damaged" whenever I try to access it

am I missing a step here??

---------- Post added at 07:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 PM ----------

hi there, anyone could re-upload again to mediafire? thanks
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] N'ayam Amarsh'e:
Are you using Winrar or 7Zip?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] luka69:
I don't know the productor of this box....can I trash it?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] haksam:
Was using Winrar, I check the installation notes again and noticed 7zip as well, I installed 7zip and now manage to extract and can proceed to burn on SD card!!

Thanks for the tips!

I hope anyone else has the same problem will find this solution too
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] haksam:
damn, sorry to call up again...

I have a H96 Pro H3 stick and this reset button doesn't allow to flash new firmwares by holding and powering up with SD card inside (read somewhere in XDA someone else gave up trying)

So I tried the flashing zip method and got all the way to Step 8. I thought I was going to taste success until TWRP says in red text

E:Legacy property environment did not initiliaze successfully, properties may not be detected

Updater process ended with ERROR: 6

Error installing zip file ...

This is using the S905W VFH zip file that was found in your downloads section and placing it together with the TWRP zip file in one SD card.

Is there anyway to download the flashable zip version of the V2FF img? thanks

*update* nvm found out your tip to use v 4.0 of the Customization Tool, managed to get the V2FF IMG converted successfully to Zip file. Flashed it in TWRP finally and now I am stuck on the ATVXperience logo.... talk about a long and painful journey to reach to this point D:
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] weeman45:
I was at the same spot as you and tried to use TWRP and a .zip to install it. For me the conversion from IMG to ZIP always failed so i resorted to the USB Burning tool.

It's pretty straightforward and worked immediately.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] u19562819:
Anyone got bluetooth working on X96 mini S905W?

It works fine on the stock ROM, and I tried everything but I can't get it to work on ATVXperience.

Everything else works well (especially the internet connectivity which seems to be more stable than on stock, somehow), except for Bluetooth.

I'd really appreciate it if I could get it working. I don't have an IR extender and I have to point
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] haksam:
thanks for the tips, I took the time to grab one of these USB male to male cables at the store today and finally gotten it to work with S905W V2FF version!

finally my nightmare has ended and I'm a happy owner of an Android media stick upgraded with a superb USB WiFi adapter :D

also for those owning the same model H96 Pro H3, the reset hole button is totally pointless! just ignore it when using Amlogic Burning Tool v2.0.8 with USB cable. (not sure on v2.1.6)

- the correct USB port to use is the one aligned below the reset button.

- the driver from the Burning Tool folder is called Installdriver.exe and install this with the device plugged in to USB first, then unplug it.

- then proceed to run Burning Tool, keep plugging and unplugging the USB cable from the correct USB port on the device to see if the "connect success" message appears and disappears in Burning Tool.

- then unplug it, load the .img file and press Start.

- plug back in the USB cable to the correct USB port on the H96 Pro, leave it plugged in and leave your PC alone for 4+ minutes till 100% success. Then press Stop and close the program. Unplug the H96 Pro from the PC and give it a go on your TV, the first time loading will take a few minutes and finally the setup screen appears.

- just repeat the same process again if the need to flash back stock firmware arises (highly unlikely)

laters!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] N'ayam Amarsh'e:
Glad you got it working

Enjoy! :)

Device?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] u19562819:
I mentioned it above

x96 Mini S905W
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] N'ayam Amarsh'e:
Since when did x96 mini started having Bluetooth?

I have 'original' x96 mini and it doesn't have Bluetooth
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] u19562819:
Not sure. When I ordered it (on AliExpress) I had to choose whether it would have bluetooth or not. And I chose the one with BT so that I can use gamepads and a different remote control with less buttons.

Worked fine but I think that the stock rom is really bad so I found this one which I really like.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] N'ayam Amarsh'e:
Hmm, X96 Mini doesn't have Bluetooth. Yours must be some modified version.

You can take some Bluetooth files from stock rom and paste here to make it work.

vendor libbt or anything that has bt in it.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] u19562819:
Ok, thanks for the tip. I'm gonna give it a try in like 2 weeks since I'll be off for Easter, but I'll be sure to report back here if I get it working.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] haksam:
just some further questions:

1) The BT function didn't work anymore on the H96 Pro H3 Dongle which I expected, would flashing the S905W_Kernel_BTFix.zip from your downloads section work ?

*UPDATE*

nvm, I flashed it in TWRP and it makes the device stuck in boot logo...

tried to copy and paste from Stock ROM all BT related files from system/app, system/etc and system/lib to atvx system folder, set permissions and didn't work either... :confused:

2) Would a USB to Ethernet adapter work when plug into the OTG USB Port? is there any driver built in with V2FF?

Thanks again!

Same problem. I solved flashing the rom using the usb method instead the sd card. The ff version is the last one
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] u19562819:
Hello again.

I tried copying everything bluetooth-related on the system partition of the stock ROM (where BT works fine). I also set the 644 permissions to the copied files. Cleared the app data for the Bluetooth app and BluetoothRemote app and also cleared dalvik and cache through TWRP.

I tried it multiple times, thinking that I did something wrong, but still nada :(

Every time I click the bluetooth toggle, it does nothing. It just won't turn on.

This is especially sad since I realised that this box can actually play a game or two, so I would enjoy connecting a gamepad to it.

Hello,

thanks N'ayam Amarsh'e, great work.

Does anyone happen to have a rom for the 905W that has an android UI running at 1080p - full hd framebuffer (not 720p)? I want to run one android app in a full hd mode, without scalling, but unfortunately I can't. Thanks in advance!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Luxell:
And i solved with usb method,i just installed version ff!

Thank's :good:
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] N'ayam Amarsh'e:
You can edit the meson file in /etc folder to change 720p to 1080p, it will work.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] N'ayam Amarsh'e:
Sorry to hear that bro.

I need to confirm your Bluetooth model. Can you try and find out about it?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] u19562819:
I'm not sure about the exact model, but it's a Realtek one.

Can you point me to where should I look for the specific model?

EDIT: If I run 'start loadrtk' as root in the terminal, I get dmesg logs containing "RTL871X" which seems to be the model of the bluetooth device in this box, or the driver, I'm not sure. I can also see "IsBtDisabled=1" messages here which I'm still investigating
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] N'ayam Amarsh'e:
Send me your stock ROM, I'll check :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] RmatriX1218:
Hi Nayam,

Let me tell you, after trying other ROMs, I am back to Atvxperience. It's most beautiful and user-friendly.

I need you help in following two points,

1. I have got Logitech C270 webcam, but it's not working stably. Can you advise something to solve it? Just to tell, it always work with IMO video call app, but all other app, it's not stable and crashes.

2. I have X96 mini. On stock ROM, media key on remote working properly. But media keys not at all responding on this ROM. How can I solve?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] fragresist:
I did it, the pixels are crystal crisp right now, bu lt it caused some unexpected screen behavior - only 1/3 of screen is used, changing resolution using DPI changer, does not solve the issue. Can you advice something?

Screenshot:
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] N'ayam Amarsh'e:
This is a dtb problem.

It can be fixed after you flash a dtb that has a 1080p framebuffer. X96 Mini's stock rom has 1080p fb so you can try that.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] u19562819:
Sure, here it is: https://mega.nz/#F!7XgWEaga!dYRoiBHoBJI_JdHSnT0exg (20180514-X96-S905W-BT.img is the file that I used)

Disclaimer: I'm not sure what version the box had when it was delivered to me. I'm not sure if this link is for the latest that's available. I know though, that it installs fine, works well, and bluetooth is function - so I guess that's enough.

Let me know if there's anything else I can provide.

Correct version of netflix... Which one.... Cant login

In atv rom the netfix app is not working for me, cant login. I uninstall the app and version 4.3.1 works with my tanix mini but pictures are horrible. Cant use remote properly.... Which one is the correct or modded version?

Any way to get the previous netflix app from tanix tx 3 mini rom?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] nick2013:
Stock roms app will not work with this rom.

After switching to this rom i found many compatibility issues with diff media center apps.

Stock rom was buggy but that can pretty much run everything.

You have to use the old apk to make netflix run.

And for those who are facing amazon prime issue.

V3.3 is workkng in atvxperience. You can get this from aptoid just search for amazon prime.

Kudos to this rom. Hope someday these issues will be rectified with some update.

After 2 days i made my previous apps working here. Live streaming got very much better than stock rom. With stock rom i had to use ethernet cable to stop buffering. But now everything is working lot better than before.

Great. Thanks for your religious works :)

How many bugs we can expect on the initial release?

We will be able to update it through ota updater or we have to burn the img again?

My hero;):fingers-crossed:
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] N'ayam Amarsh'e:
No bugs in initial release. Maybe wifi or Bluetooth compatibility issues but will work fine with majority of devices.

No OTA update since the oreo release needs full partition table formatting for proper working :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] pyokorider:
Can you give us the ETA? Sorry you can reply this or not cuz I'm extremely excited right now. I never thought we could receive Ore update
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] N'ayam Amarsh'e:
Can't give an ETA, sorry. But I've been able to get a working build. The problem is, the kernel sources aren't working for some reason. We need those sources to build an image with wider compatibility.

Currently, the build works fine in my X96 Mini.

And yeah, Amlogic dropped support for S905W and S912, but we're somehow keeping them alive by making code changes to the sdk.

Does anyone know how to convert the .rar to .zip? I can't seem to download the ROM in a .zip format. I get the .rar and the .img only. when trying to flash the image file in TWRP it says too large and I cant find the .zip version.

Thanks
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] N'ayam Amarsh'e:
Hiya!

It seems you're new to ROM flashing.

You don't need to convert anything.

You have to extract the .RAR file with WinRAR software. Then you'll get the IMG file, which you have to flash using USB BURNING TOOL.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] bodyshop:
Thanks I see it now, must've overlooked it looking for the zip instructions.

Not new at all to ROMs. Only new to flashing .img files. Until now I've only flashed .zip files or used the odin tool for phones.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] N'ayam Amarsh'e:
Ah, I understand.

We all learn by giving and accepting :)

A year ago, I didn't even know the difference between Rockchip and amlogic and a year later, I'm making ROMs :D

Let me know if you need any help with the Tool, I'll try to reply asap.

You can also go to forumXperience, the moderators there are also quick in replies and very friendly :)

Can you share link for ver 3.3?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ckrles:
I have a x96 mini. I've realized that amazon prime is not working because of the wideline certificate, but it did work on the stock rom, so I would like to go back to stock. I've tried the amlogic software but I keep on getting low power error, so I was thinking that perhaps I could go back to a tanix tx3 mini through twrp. Could I? Would it be possible with a zip file. In tanix's website there's an IMG image and a zip file. Could I use the zip file via twrp? Would it cause any trouble or brick?

Thanks.
