problem when repack

you have a pm!:)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Good news, im a few hours work away from completing the dump conversion class for the DTB, meaning now all we need to worry about is the uboot and bootloader and we will be able to turn dumps into amlogic upgrade packages and zip files
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Donators will soon recieve the beta version of the dumping tool, it will dump a complete firmware other than uboot, bootloader and DDR and convert it to an aml upgrade package, this took alot of reverse engineering of amlogics packing methods and alot.of data manipulation, my respack will also be included as its relavent to disassemble the logo partition, i can safely say this tool is EXTREMELY powerful and a great achievement, i thank the tested who have tested, reported back and sent me their dumped DTB so in able to reverse engineer amlogics multi DTB packing method, this has been a community effort and im very happy with everyone who has helped, sent me firmwares my tool has issues processing and linking me to newer or odd firmwares, so after the release of the dumping tool lets make this 9.0 compatible!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] arikatso:
problem when repack

so, is there any solution in this problem with repacking a specific firmware?

And what about the usb burning tool problem? (about when the stock firmware is used that first it was repacked with the amlogic tool 6.0.0)? any idea?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
I havent had the chance to look at the firmware as of yet, i downloaded it and it failed abour 20mb before completion, ill attempt again tonight
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Big progress tonight, im up to the final steps of this dumping tools API, anyone who would like to test please PM me as this will help in stabilising the tool upon release!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
V7.0.0 is in the works, some major changes to how things work and the support the tool has,

Zip packing is fixed

User Interface bug is fixed

Vendor repacking for some firmwares is fixed(as far as i know, i dont have a device effected by this)

DTB repacking is different and now has its own library

The respack binary i made is no longer obsolete and purposed for dumps

An early stage beta of the dumping utillity will be included

A new method of logo repacking is also implemented(i can assure any image distortion is not due to the tool)

And much more i forget

failed ro repack system

I tried to unpack and repack the NonchersV4.11 rom for x96 (without any change), and the whole process was succesful (the repack process and the installation via amlogic burning tool,all perfect). But when I change many staff like more preinstall apks then the repack process is failed! The size of my new custom rom is bigger than the original because I added more apps. Is this a problem? Is there any restriction on the repacking when the extracted rom is oversized compared to the original?

It will be due to the integrated twrp.

problem when repack

I don't understand why, because when I just try to unpack and repack there are no problems, also when I change some things not many there is not any problem with repack. On the other hand when I change many things (lot of preinstall apps) then I got the error message!! I don't understand why! Do you have any suggestion about that?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] fdemers:
Adding a lot of pre-installed apps could increase your /system partition beyond specs. Can you provide a link to the ROM you are trying to tweak (using Yandesk is illegal where I live) and I will take a look.

https://yadi.sk/d/wkkbJs3TsFzCvw

http://fly2.cf/FW-nonchers411 (Sourceforge)

So if the system partition is increased and this is a problem how we can make changes? Is there any "hack" or tip in order to be possible? I also tried on ubuntu 18.04 but when i repack and install the rom on the tv box the system does not change this means that is unable to repack the new one and keeps the default, in addition i use the resize tool for img file (on ubuntu) but nothing...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
The actual size of the .img means nothing, the size in the DTB needs to be modified to repack the system as a 2gb sparse image, this can be done via the donate version

Edit: but then again, most amlogic boxes have 2gb dedicated to the system partition, so if its 2gb already theres no need to expand the partition size meaning the issue lies elsewhere

How to update newest donate version?

Hi, I'm still using donate version "AMLogicTools_V6.6.0_fixedVendor" - how to update newest version?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] arikatso:
ok

ok I understand but I have a question about the repacking without changes, I have already ask you why the error message is displayed when try to unpack and repack a specific firmware (I link you to the firmware via pm) do you find why?? also I have send you mail for the donate version! In conclusion if I want to modify the DTB what staff I can change??
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] fdemers:
Arikatso,

Ok, I looked at your .img

The system partition on the ROM you are modifying has roughly 800 mg free space out of the 2gb Mr. Divjatovski postulated (confirmed).

If I were you, I would

Install your apps manually through a store or from APKs

Get the donate version of this tool (poetry in motion)

Wait patiently for the pull upgrade

Pull the result from your box and look at what happened before and after

Because unless you are trying to install an entire living horse with optional knight in shining armor, there is enough space on that ROM for just about anything you can usefully do on a TV.

Keep us posted

Hey, donators will be the first notified when the update comes out :)

What email did you send me the email from? my RDEngineering is cluttered quite abit, hard to keep track of

Correct, most are 2gb in size, i have seen some with 1.5gb and 1gb but they are extremely rare cases and only in 8.x firmwares(i assume to make size for the vendor partition)

Also, thanks for the help maintaining the thread and assisting people :)

Will you support Android 9? When you will release tool version 7?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Im sort of in a rut with adding 9.0 version 7 or the version after, if i do add 9.0 support it could be weeks before its released, not to mention i have more binaries to build and a crapload of debugging and adjustments for 9.0
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] fdemers:
To business:

Your partition sizes are in

\tmp\level2\dtb\dtb_1 at line 1078 (the size is 0x80000000; ignore "0x", 80000000 is 2mg in hexadecimal)

also in

\tmp\level2\Partition Table at line 72 (also 0x80000000)

What I did to your ROM

Unpacked it in the donate tool 6.60

Deodexed /app /framework and /priv-app. Because deodex.

Manually edited the files above, added 300mg

Repacked it in non-donate 5.5

It repacked but will it run?

Donate version 6.60 stops repacking at making the sparse image of level 2, a very important step, leading me to suspect that One Should Not Resize Core Android Partitions even if there seems to be a workaround. I do not have an X96 mini but I expect this trick would turn it into a glorified paperweight. This box costs $30, yours.

Are you quite sure you do not have the 1gb version?

restore MAC

Sorry for Noob question.. I had rooted my Zidoo x5 box and it had started showing weird problems. Zidoo Forum advised me to flash it with factory image. I flashed it with USB Burning Tool and now the original Mac is gone (May be I selected 'Overwrite Key' mistakenly).

Can someone please guide me how I can restore the original Mac ? I have the original Mac printed in the back of box.

How can i replace kernel in firmware from another tv box? Example, kernel with support amcodec from X96Max implement to firmware H96Max X2 (kernel not supported amcodec)? Thanks.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Does the firmware boot correctly?

unpack to level1

replace boot.PARTITION with your kernel

repack

if your kernel is named boot.img just rename it boot.PARTITION
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] deadlock9x:
Yes, I can flash this firmware for my box and it running normally

remote-keybord on numbers buttons

Days I'm looking for!

Amlogic android firmware 8.1

I try to activate on the IR remote control the keyboard function on the numbers. By pressing several times on it. With android 6.1 it was possible.

The remote.conf file has disappeared from location "system/etc" to go to "vendor / etc / remote_vs.conf

There, I can remap the keys but I do not find the process that activates the multiple key input.

Enable repeat_enable gives no result

Can you help me please
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] I1V1A1N:
/vendor/etc/remote.tab.1 remote.tab.2
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] palotway:
/vendor/etc/remote.tab.1 remote.tab.2

How please?

should I edit these files? When i press on numbers stay on numbers mode and not qwerty.

Have you successful?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] I1V1A1N:
It is necessary to transfer the values of the buttons from the remote.conf of the old firmware to the file remote.tab1.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] palotway:
Thank you for reply.

First i have edit in file /remote.tab1 the same custom_code and custome_name that file remote.conf ->not work

After i have transfer all value in remote.conf to remote.tab1 ->not work

You talk about witch value? Should i add other each?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] I1V1A1N:
This is how it will succeed.I have so managed only half of the buttons.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] palotway:
I have copy all values of the buttons from the remote.conf of the old firmware to the remote.tab1 -->not work

Custom_code on remote.conf should be same in remote.tab1 ??

There is also remote.tab2 and remote.tab3 to do something with?

I think that it need to activate the multiple push on button for this function but or do it ? or I miss something on the process.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] I1V1A1N:
Use terminal through dmesg.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] palotway:
how?

Can you be precise please.

I have on the device an root access.

"as a reminder the IR remote works good. All the buttons are ok

but I would like to use the numbers on the IR as keyboard (type sms) with the firmware android 6 it worked perfectly

---------- Post added at 07:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 PM ----------

"Reminder: the IR remote works good. All the buttons are ok

But the target is to active keyboard function (type sms) on the butons (numeric) because previously with the firmware android 6 it worked perfectly
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] I1V1A1N:
Open the emulator terminal and write dmesg.And press the buttons.The terminal will write the values.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] palotway:
I did as you said and the terminal write nothing.

After searching, I opened the terminal and i write first => "su" - "dmesg"

Push on the butons, no value come then i try => "dmesg -c" same result.

I check if debug was enabled => in my "remote.conf" file => debug line not found. In the "remote.cfg" file the debug line was found and it was already active.

I think that this way is for mapped keys and it does not solve the target. Did you succeed?

---------- Post added at 09:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 PM ----------

I found anywhere the post on this subject.

Yet it is something very important. Nobody find that annoying?

Yet on the IR remote control of my box km9 on the numbers buttons there is the letter written

(1 = ABC 2 = DEF 3 = GHI) and it does not work. Unbelievable.

There is surely a way to get there, the modifications of some developer are impressive.

Packed file = 700mb or less

i use the donated version and free version as well
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] N'ayam Amarsh'e:
Could be that the sparse file created is having better compression OR your current OS has something missing that's making it not work properly.

the folder size for amlogictools v5 is around 32mb and v6 is around 14, does this mean that V6 is missing lot.

No Ethernet after editing firmware

Hi, I'm having a weird issue..

Been trying multiple firmwares on my x96 s905x 1GB 8GB (Wechip version)

All the firmwares work when flashing unedited.

Stock: firmware from Wechip site Works no issue... Working Ethernet

Edit: Change Boot logo, change boot video, delete preinstall apps -- box boots perfectly with new logo and new boot video.. Ethernet doesn't detect

Stock: x96 Fully Naked (ATV version) (NOT STOCK -- but lets say un-edited from me) -- Works fine with ethernet enabled

Edit: Change Boot logo, change boot video, delete preinstall apps -- box boots perfectly with new logo and new boot video.. Ethernet doesn't detect

Other firmwares same issue. What am i doing wrong, can anyone help.

Other issues: V6.0 wont unpack stock firmware from wechip comes up with memory error, got around this by unpacking using v5.3.1, then transfering the tmp folder to v6 working folder.

If unpacking with v5.3.1 making firmware edits and repack using v5.3.1.. for some reason the box will boot with the original bootlogo and get stuck there. (seems like it boots with poweron logo and gets stuck)

there are so many twrp recovery for that chip .....just use adb / fastboot to boot to twrp amd save backup to sd card ...

your problem is just usb drivers ...linux it seems ...what you need is a windows machine and search and download amlogic drivers ...

then enable usb debug in classic way through developers setings by pressing build number in about settings ..

while keeping box connected to tv and drivers installed on pc plug usb to usb into pc and try running adb ....

or just boot to stock recocery and while connected use special tool usb burner to write twrp recovery to box

search amlogic drivers

search amlogic twrp

sesrch usb burn tool amlogic

*tip tv boxes are more generic and much of any firmware signed by another tv box maker running same chip as yours can be flashed and will boot ...

**only difference or problems are related to drivers for the remote or wifi ....

twrp from another box with same chip will certainly work

inside the usb burner tool folder there will be drivers for all amlogic or most amlogic chips

check out libre elec

I figured everything out, I been doing alot of searching and reading up on things, not to mention, as I said, I like to get my hands dirty and I did a bit of unorthodox testing.. and found out more things then I cared too.

do to flashing a stock ATV 9 rom, which worked perfect, except for 2 things, couldnt get past the scanning for remote since I didnt have that bluetooth remote. and it locked me out of reset switch from back in av port as well as using usb burning tool.. and most everything else. it was protected by AVB v2.0 which I didnt know at the time.. But I learned to put the device into MaskRom Mode on the s905x2 u211 boards.

the same board the x96 Max 4/64 and skystream 3 pluss 4/64 uses....... that allowed me to direct flash into emmc chip........

Matter of fact I put photos and wrote up a bit about on the Freak Tab forums... Took a while to find the correct location to short out.. but I found it. I even decided that im going to just solder a momentary reset switch normal open, to the 2 pins, that way no matter how much I screw up, I can always recover from pushing that switch putting device into MaskRom mode and plugging in USB allowing me to use USB burning tool and burn another rom...

But thanks for all your help.. I got what I needed and so on.. The u-boot isnt that important to me as it once was.. I realized just as it says, Universal bootloader.. so really any u-boot compiled for the u211 boards will work regardless. and I did managed to make a full flash-able SkyStream 3 plus IMG, from all research and info I got.. So no matter what I can always flash default rom back on.. But im currently

on a ATV rom designed for the x96 max 4/64, custom.. Beats that Lame Leenback launcher crap.

again, thanks for your help..
