I repacked the image 32 bit android oreo this one and it is correctly repacked .

http://share.loverpi.com/board/libr...re-computer-board-aml-s905x-cc/image/android/

But the same android 8 only 64 bit Lewy not true, the partition of systems is smaller than just one lib64 .
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
This has been resolved in the upcoming update, the tool should be completely perfected after next release without a single bug.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
We have massive changes in the upcoming version, alot accommodates for 9.0 support
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Hey everybody, i will be out of office from the 14/02/2019 until 18/02/2019, any enquiries or software activation messages/emails will be responded to at my earliest convenience.

We have big changes ahead of much, most of that solves the few small bugs that reside, other than that this software is perfect.

The donators will be sent the test version first.

Thanks everyone.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Very little debugging and im able to release the next version of the tool :) should be by today
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Good and bad news, the update it very close to release, however wallpaper changing(only wallpaper changing) will be removed from the next version, to much complexities leading to unethical coding, the tool will however instruct you on how to change it manually, determining the launcher and the required file to change will be upto you

This is unless stock launcher from the SDK is used(Mbox Launcher)

Realistically i could patch this, way too much time and effort for very little and there are many discrepencies like if a device has multiple launchers, multiple backgrounds etc

I find this inefficient and off track
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Not very active here so if anyone wants to keep updated on the progress follow my facebook page RickyD Engineering
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tedpoley:
Not much on your Facebook page?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Jerryjr200:
Thank you very much Ricky

Will the AMLogicFlashTool be included in the next release Im still fighting this T95S1 S905W trying to get a working TWRP on it so i can make a back up for the dead 1 maybe that tool can do it

Thank you
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
i just made the page before bed last night :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] thts:
As for TWRP for the S905W the only ones I know that work are from the atvxperience Project , There use to be a TWRP311.zip that can be run from the stock recovery or there was a stand alone version but that seems to have been removed but I am almost sure that the Project img downloads still have twrp as its recovery you should be able to extract just the recovery and use it via a sd card
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Tonian1878:
Hmm, only 4 months ago
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] cnjax:
Your point?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Tonian1878:
He claimed he would never lock features behind a paywall. 4 months later and we have "DONATION" features.

basically features hidden behind a paywall.

Contradictions. Originally Open source, now its not. never going to lock features but now he has.

Next up, the entire program gets locked behind a paywall.

don't get too dependent on this program
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] cnjax:
Why are you complaining, he has a right to do what he wants it's his work and effort, quit being cheap and pay for it if you want those features.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
These "features" are put in place for vendors who use this software for profit, thats why the standard features are available for everyone, however vendor specific features are locked.

For the standard user this tool allows you to do everything you would need in the free version, however it restricts vendor/production partition modification and more vendor specific properties that companies need to modify in order to distribute firmware.

Also the tools source code was closed because there was a company that built and rebranded my tool as their own without giving any credit what so ever, when i emailed them about distributing my software i never got a response, however when i emailed in regards to an item purchase they responded within 2 hours of the email being sent, this is why i locked vendor specific features and closed the source
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] N'ayam Amarsh'e:
You wouldn't want someone to make money off of your work, without even getting a bit of credit.

It's totally justified if his work has 2 different versions, one for free and other for donations. You can always expect third party softwares to be gone private anytime in future because only official Companies are liable to make free softwares available as a part of their paid services.

First, Thank for your guide.

I cannot unpack firmware of The Geniatech ATV495X.

It said that Failed to unpack the kernel.

Many thanks.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] papla83:
Hi [MENTION=5105831]Ricky Divjakovski[/MENTION] i saw somewhere a bug about gigabit capability and the amlogics tools, if i remember that correctly, i read few time ago some developers had issue when they compiled rom with the tools and burn it on gigabit capable device.

the ethernet say connected but no connection at all.

this could explain the problem I currently encounter on the ATV red poison rom on my device

Do you have any info about it ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
i cant reproduct the problem, however im guessing its kernel related so simply unpacking a stock formware deleting the level2 boot folder may fix this issue, this forces the tool to use the stock boot.PARTITION, if anyone tries thing please let me know
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] sudungthu:
Dear Ricky,

I cannot post url in my reply because of policy.

How can I give you that image?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] papla83:
thanks but i don't understand the benefit of a stock rom unpacking and modding if it made my device ok with gigabit lan normally with out any modding.

exepted if you mean to unpack red poison and delete the boot folder ( of course if red poison rom have a proper recovery boot folder capability ).
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] cnjax:
Dude quit complaining if you don't like closed source than don't use it if want to use the paid features then pay for it. Simple! You have no right to dictate how a developer distributes his software. The audacity of some people amazes me.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ssdist1:
Hi , sorry , i think you have misunderstood my post - i am not complaining about being closed source, or complaining about paying for it.

I am also not dictating how ricky should distribute his software...

i was simply brainstorming out loud, and giving ricky my ideas in a positive and friendly manner (as a friend would try to guide another friend) - i have no issues with the way ricky does his work. i may also be wrong in my ideas, but i thought i would put them out there

Sorry if i came across the wrong way, it was not my intention
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
I decided not to go with filling out a form, it was too hands on for a simple software activation, as for companies rebranding and distributing as their own, they technically didnt do anythjng illegal, the sources were online, i was just abit salty because i was not even mentioned and they replaced the about section with their own info

As for the source, yeah it could probably be disassembled, ive coded the program as complex as can be to the point where using a decompiler is still pretty complex, thus the reason i have not added code obfuscation, ive tested it and after code obfuscation theres not a single chance users will be able to decompile it to raw source, and if they did, they wouldnt know where to start

I could push forward and make this a paid product, but as i said its for the community, all the features in the free version cover anything the standard user would like, the paid version(donate) covers more features of a developer/distributors point of view

I find the tool is pretty much fine as is, a few minor adjustments and a bug or two to be fixed, but once they are fixed and 9.0 support is done there wont need to be an update for a long time, this tool has cost me hours and hours of time that cannot be replaced, the donations are just a way of saying "thanks for this hard work" and as a thank you back, they get a version of the tool thats able to modify firmware for distribution

Also: to obtain thw donate version, its a simple donation and an email to rickyd.engineering@gmail.com, a link to the token generator will be sent to your email, running it will produce a device specific code, that code is sent to me and processed into a license then a link to the donate version is sent along with your license
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] beta.0:
Considering how generous it was of Ricky to provide these tools in the first place, I don't think anyone should be complaining if he wants to have a donate version to help fund his work and offer features that normally he would not have time or motivation to implement. Some people just don't appreciate anything these days unless it's handed to them on a silver platter...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] m.morcielago:
Omg is it real??

It's unbelievable it's means I can relieve my Xiaomi mibox after 3 years

I have a Xiaomi mibox 2s with amlogic S802H SOC

And my device's official ROM is with .zip format

I can't make .IMG ROM for that

So how can I flash ROM with .zip format?

I want to convert my zip to .IMG by customisation tool but I don't have partition table

So what can I do??
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Please send me the firmware for further analysis, according to my research newer xiaomi devices have all files encrypted so unpacking is almost impossible
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] m.morcielago:
Thank you for your help

It's final version

https://yadi.sk/d/qsCM8SI9u25Za

And my device is not new

My device is second generation of miboxes with android 4.4.2
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Oh! 4.4.2 support is not implemented in the tool, but it may work, its trial and error for this, if your willing to test i can add 4.4.2 support
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] m.morcielago:
Of course I want it

You know I tested many time with "Burning tool" and "Customisation tool" to make my own ROM but I didn't have partition table

Because of that I wasn't successful

Usb Burning tool can recognise my device and I can flash .IMG files , but I don't have .IMG ROM for my device

If I could flash .zip files it could better

And another thing

Someone in "4pda" forum called "sashlaw did it before

He converted a zip ROM to IMG with this method

But for another version of mibox

Here :

I talked to him but he said "main problem is (partition table) and finding that is not simple"

But with your device I think this dream can be real

There are thousands people have problem with Amlogic devices and they are searching in forums for solving , and you can help them

Thank you for your awesome work
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Pm me we will sort it
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] m.morcielago:
I unpacked an IMG file and replaced my files with that and everything is ok but at the final I need partition table

So how can I find my own device partition table??

My device is mibox 2s
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
will be in the DTB inside the partitions section, its all in hex so will need conversion to int, otherwise the donate version automates this
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] m.morcielago:
When I unpack .IMG file with Customisation tool , the partition table comes

So we can understand , official ROM contain partition table

Is .zip ROM same as .IMG ?

Does it contain partition table??
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] AuXiLiAtOr:
Hello Ricky ,

first 100 thanks for your contributions, Rom's and especially for the AMLogic tools.

Super super good, thanks, thanks!

I try in vain to rewrite a ROM for an Android TV box with youre Tool.

I can't post it here bevfore 10 blaaah.

So try this:

(hypertexttrans...) ufile(poin)io/qbtuv

ist's aml_7.1_s912_q9377-S912-XGO_mac-20170515.img

The Rom simply can not be written back to an IMG or ZIP.

All other work's fine ! :silly::victory: Thank you for that !

Test 100 Times.

Delete AMlogib, clear TMP in Windows,. reiinstall AMlogic... nope.

The AMLogic Tools Results:

L1 <-> L3 unpack and edit successfullyWrite

L1 <-> L3 back, nope!

Troubleshooting by exclusion procedure:

L1 <-> L1 = unpack goes, write back, goes 1.5 GB, flash successful

L1 <-> L2 = unpack, does not write back, only 335 GB instead of 1.5 GB

L1 <-> L3 = unpack, do not write back, only 335 GB instead of 1.5 GB

Please help me! ^^ (nice look)

best regards

Lazy aka AuXi
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
in the donate version it will make a simplified partition table so you can understand and modify, for the free version you will need to dig through the DTB, convert from hex to decimal etc

Please PM me
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] AuXiLiAtOr:
Done, send you a Doughnut ^^, and now ? Hope this works...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
please message me the link in messages so i can see this firmware
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
In the process of completing the pack to zip and im considering adding the open to change stock VFD drivers to open VFD, this will patch the non working clock issue while trying to port roms, just need to dig in a little more :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] AuXiLiAtOr:

Thanks a million, your support email has really helped me a lot. Finally ! I am nearing the goal of my own CFW. Keep it up.

Hi, I was try your tool to edit firmware of S905X2, I want to replace zip bootanimation to video bootanimation but it's not success
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Did you check the enable video boot option in the UI tab and place your MP4 file in tmp/system/etc and name it bootvideo (make sure .mp4 isnt on the end)?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] deadlock9x:
I was try to unpack firmware H96 MAX X2 - it have bootvideo, but your tool say it don't have

What do you think if the bootvideo have been save in vendor/system/etc?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
can you send me a picture of bootvideo file properties inside /system/etc
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] deadlock9x:
This is my bootvideo inside /system/etc

Properties

This bootvideo I can using on S905X, S912 running Android 5, 6, 7 without any problem. It's an .mp4 video and I know we need rename to "bootvideo" with any extension format. Do it have any different about "bootvideo" on Android 8?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
this is fine, its probably a bug in my tool ill check it out
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] deadlock9x:
Anyway, I have a question for you. On Android 8, it have "vendor partition", but your tool still not have a selection to unpack this partion. Some firmware, they put "preinstall" application in "vendor.PARTITION" and also "bootvideo" in "vendor/system/ect"

How do you think about it? If they put "bootvideo" in vendor parttion, can you tool replace it?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
your right, this is possible, vendor partition unpacking/repacking is currently only in the donate version, i will have to work around this to accomodate for as you say, i honestly didnt think about this
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] deadlock9x:
Ok, I'm waiting for you to complete this function and when you finished it, I will use your donate version :good:

Anyway, I was try with SupperR kitchen to unpack system, vendor the replace the stock bootvideo by my bootvideo then repack system.img and vendor.img, after that I using your tool to repack the firmware .img, but after reflash this new firmware, my box just stuck on logo, can not load bootvideo and I don't know why, may be we need do anything else with new bootvideo to suitable with the stock firmware. This is Android 8 so I don't know what are the different with the previous version, I was try more way to do but still not success.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
yeah the lengths need to be set as per to DTB, thats why my tools are dedicated to AMLogic devices, vendor repacking works fine in the donate version and replacing the bootvideo in vendor would work, its the length preventing the ROM from booting with superR kitchen
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] deadlock9x:
You mean with donate version, I can replace the new bootvideo and it will work 100%? Are you sure?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
My team use this version to edit firmeares on windows, we use it on S905x2 firmware with 8.1 without issue
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] AuXiLiAtOr:
Yeeeahh ! ^^

If I now get an entry for directly editing the Stock Launcher icon and decoding it, I'm happy!

Best work by then!

Unfortunately, I always get when i want to indulge in programming this ****ty part, that:

Hi there

First THANK YOU for your hard work and for sharing with Us here

I have a question

I have Minix Neo U1 with original rom on it

What I have to do to load your modded rom on it and enjoy the new goodies on it?

Thank you
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
This is a thread for my tools, please comment on the ROM thread for assistance, to burn a firmware you use USB burning tool, will take about 5 minutes to flash
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] drakulaboy:
wow, new version, nice job [MENTION=5105831]Ricky Divjakovski[/MENTION] , i've read the changelog to the v6, those improvements/fixes are in donate version? or what's in the Donate version? i've stopped customizing for about half of year, customized my T95Z Plus with Poison ROM and some fixes and it's still working .)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
The donate version allows a few more things integraging adblocking, vendor partition modification, changing the partition table, etc

In recent test versions zip packing is pretty much complete, theres also the option for automated debloating aswell as a few other things, the current stable donate version is at 6.6.0 and i havent had any issues so far :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] deadlock9x:
I have just send a donation, I hope I can using the donate version soon :D
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
i just got home :) will send you activation via email

Ok, thank you! :D

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] deadlock9x:
Yes, I know that, I was try to enable bootvideo on /vendor but it do not success, it still loading bootanimation.zip, I'm waiting support from [MENTION=5105831]Ricky Divjakovski[/MENTION], he talk that donate version can do that :)

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Can you link me to the firmware?

Hi, can you help me try to replace the bootanimation.zip to bootvideo on Android 8 firmware? I will send the link of firmware to you
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] I1V1A1N:
Maybe it's in boot.img.Open boot.img in the Superr kitchen and replace.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] deadlock9x:
Which we should edit in boot.img?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] I1V1A1N:
I don't know anymore.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Hey buddy, sorry ive been abit busy, what you need to do is manually edit the build.prop in both vendor and system, change the bootvideo property to 1, then add your bootvideo to /system/etc and /vendor/etc, make sure its named bootvideo (with no extension) and it must be an MP4 file

Also good news, i may have found a way to dump the DTB of a device via USB, this means we will be able to dump firmwares

Any idea on how I add apks in customization tool? On the ROM I'm trying to customize there is no pre-installed app folder. Only system apps. (the rom is xtmod atv for s905x2).

Also, I would like to add a script to autostart. It's a script fixing the auto Frame Rate on the device. Any idea where to put it?
