[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Eliminater74:
I just have a noobie question for really anyone that can answer this,

I am not a new developer as one can see in my name tags, I have been developing Kernels and ROMS for some time.. but only for OEM Cell Phone devices never Android Boxes..

This Android Box is all new ground for me.. Its same in many ways.. but im so used to heavy security protected devices/bootloaders and so on...

So after doing much research and alot of reading, I ended up buying the SkyStream 3 Plus with the S905x2 (u211 board), Great device, but what I didnt know was it was geared towards

noobs, which in my case im new to the Android Box but not the android world.. I did not know this at the time I bought it.. anyhow I now wanna get my hands dirty and see what this thing can

really do..

Now my problem is this, Skystream doesnt release its firmware.. So I had to manualy pull all my partitions, all 17 of them.. I know a few I didnt have to pull, but better safe then sorry.

I even went as far as creating my own Single Flashable IMG file. That took a bit of work.. I did this all on my linux system with the linux tool..

as a guy mentioned a few pages back, the v6 gives memory errors at least on windows 10 pro/Enterprise But I didnt try his work around by going to a lower version..

so I ended up using all Linux tool by hand.. No pretty GUI there.. anyhow...........

My question is this, I have the Skystream 3 Plus which is 4/64 version using the s905x2 as I said above...

I do assume the /dev/block/bootloader is pretty much the same as /dev/block/mmcbootloader0 and mmcbootloader1 (They both match up in hex compare)

I also see that u-boot.imx would be at 0200 while u-boot it self is at 0400 then the u-boot configure a bit after that..

since bootloader image is 4gb which from my research same size as the emmc but Isnt u-boot only the first 848kb's of the bootloader?

I wanna extract the U-boot and DDR and USB images from it.. so I can correctly create a flashable image.. not to mention have a more corrected backup.

I just dont know what command I need to use under "dd" as well at correct locations to gain what I need..

Now I lied, I have one more question, I can get into recovery mode, By unplugging everything and sticking a toothpick or paperclip into the AV port on the back on the box pressing the reset or whatever you wanna

call it button in there.. then while holding that in, plugging it back up to power, with a sdcard with a rom flashed to it, it starts up in recovery mode, but it gets as far as 10% if that and sticks.. I let it go for about 15 mins ad nothing moved at all.. I do have a USB Male to Male bought from Amazon.. but seems that Skystream disabled USB for most anything other then wireless crap.. Nothing shows up no matter what..

so that is why I use the sdcard method to flash which has yet to work on the 3 different roms I have tried even the "Poison" rom from same author as here. I cant even adb unless its wireless,

is there a way I can manualy enable all that crap so I can flash it correctly or something?

Sorry if I sound newbie on this. But I have searched and searched and read everything I could find.. I just cant find the info or should I say Magic Key I need.. but I wanna learn.. if anyone even has some sites that I might learn some more, sure share that..

Also, im sorry about being a little off topic here.. I do use this tool.. as I said above I had the same memory error as the guy 2 pages back. But I will try his work around by using the older edition.

Anyhow, Hope someone can shed some light on this for me... Thanks.
