Hi, This is my first post here. I've been on XDA long ago for phone stuff, now into TV box.

So I just purchased an S905X box. It is an Abox-A1 1G/8G. The device info states:Kernal:Apr 27 16:00:19 CST 2017 Build:ABOX-I-6.0.1-201705171007

On the inside board I found this info:

ABOX, RTL8189, 1G/8G, 20170617

A95X, DDR4, V1_1 20160906

RTL8189ETV

So first thing I successfully made a TWRP SD Recovery and backed up the device. Then i successfully ran LibraELEC on SD for several days. But I wanted a full android box and was not satisfied with the original software and because I wanted to play, have some fun with the box, and learn a little too; I stated trying to install custom rom. I don't have a male-male USB cable so I was using the SD Boot tool. I could not get any rom to install correctly but no harm was done until I tried to install XTmod 3.0. The device flashed update for an instant then the red led came on on that was all... BRICKED.

I successfully used the shorted pin method. I shorted pin 5-6. I also read pin 6-7 and 7-8. Since I have done it a few times now I can verify pins 5-6 worked for me. Anyway this got me past boot with a update labeled "cyx_NEXBOX-A95X_S905X_rtl8723bs_8g2g_tvmc_170111_SD_USB" that I found at entertainmentbox.com/a95x-tv-box-android-marshmallow-6-0-firmware-download. This gave me a new nexbox boot logo instead of the old abox, but it did not boot into android. However I was then able to use my TWRP recovery to restore my backup.

I have tried a few roms but all of them have failed or bricked by device and I start over again.

So I have two simple question:

1. can I get the original abox recovery back instead of the now nexbox labeled boot. The device recovery I have lost in the process I guess. I get nexbox at boot then the ABOX screen while it boots to android. Not a big deal, but I don't know exactly what I have done(not done) so would appreciate enlightenment:)

2. Can anyone suggest a custom rom for my device and the proper way to install.

I am new to this and a little confused with all the variation on these devices and custom options I have found, So appreciate any assistance.

Thanks.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] subrez:
I would really like to customize the device I have. All the attempts I have made have failed by bricking by box. Do I need to look into customizing the version I have? I have a backup. Is there a way to extract the android system and customize it to a base android version and modify step by step? update and play services does not seem to work anyway so it seems modification is the only way. LibreELEC works great but I would like to have a full android experience with internet browsing and select games/apps.

Whats my next step? options/suggestion?

or can anyone point me to a rom/upgrade that should work with this device?

Thanks.

Which pins are 5 and 6? I can't find anything on the pins of this box. I detected a flashing electrical signal from the power LED. But no light. One day it just didn't work. Never tried to flash anything. Bricked. The CPU gets really hot fast now. Idk.tv boxes suck wish I had a shield.or a minipc.

I have NOT found conclusively if this phone has an Infrared beam. Does this phone have the app LG Quick Remote??? Can you point it at a TV, run the LG Quick Remote and it will program itself to control that TV???

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] awaisagha:
Hi There !

I have recently bought LG V20 H910. It is on android 7.0 and its further details are as below:

Android security patch level: December 1, 2016

Build number: NRD90M

Software version: H91010i

Whenever i try to update the android, it says that there is no further update available. I tried both OTG as well as LG PC suite methods. When i tried searching for security patches on LG site, i got this info that latest patch is from March 2018.

I wanted to know how can i update my phone and why it says that there is no update available, when there is update available as per this LG site

My device is not rooted. I tried to root it earlier to install lineage OS (by following the guide). I am not a tech savvy kind of person at all.

Please help me with this.

Regards

Awais Javaid.

Looks like you've the att model, are you actually on ATT? I've seen reports that if the att model doesnt have an ATT sim it wont find updates.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] awaisagha:
Well it seems so. I tried rooting it with kingoroot and it failed. Then i searched online for rooting solution and came to know that v20 cannot be rooted by these software because the bootloader is locked.. It needs another method (told in forums). Well i didn't try them.

I need some further help in this regards. I have few questions. I hope you can answer them.

1. If i unlock the bootloader and install twrp and then install the stock rom, CAN I INSTALL ANY stock rom, for example, stock rom of international model instead of at&t version?

2. I am using h910 but not with at&t sim. I am on other network. Will installing with official rom (other than at&t version), keep the gsm working>?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] cnjax:
You could possibly flash the US996 which is the unlocked version, as far as updates you'll have to check and see if there's updates for it from LG, but the big concern would be determining what bands are available with that variant to see if they are compatible with your carrier, you can also check this forum and see if there's updated 996 roms that you could flash to get the latest security patches. But as the previous poster stated as long as you are on 910 rom and using another carrier's sim you'll never get an update from AT&T

Hello,

I've tried searching all over and cannot for the life of me figure out how to organize the videos on my Fire tablet.

They are in their own folder in the Android File Transfer App and appears in Alphabetical order, but for some reason on the tablet they are all over the place. It's killing me because the purpose I bought the tablet for what to watch video tutorials, but they aren't in the correct order so I have to bounce around 50+ videos trying to figure out which one is next. Can anyone point me in the right direction?!

Hi, I have had the problem that i was unable to resume my music during a workout when my bt headphones got into standby (and the music paused). I have tried several button combinations such as double tap, hold for a few seconds, single tap, etc, where as nothing really worked.

did i mess out something??
[Amazfit] lfom:
Are your headphones stereo, with support to AVCTP? When I tested my Pace with a mono headphone it didn't work for music control, as it doesn't support AVCTP, but my stereo headphones worked well. I am not sure if it works if the headphones disconnect during an activity (I've never seen one going in standby mode, mine are either on or off), but if you don't hear the connected sound after it goes on again, then it won't work.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] ntruhan:
Hello,

I am waiting for the new Oreo update for my Tab S3 T820. Currently running a Magisk rooted 7.1 version and I have Second Screen installed in order to change the resolution of the screen.

This is needed for mircast to my Microsoft WiFi Direct dongle so I can cast to the TV in 16:9 vs 4:3. I have not found a stock ay to do this resolution change.

Unfortunately rooting the device has caused some apps like my United and Delta video apps to stop working since it detects root and I can't find a way to hide it properly. Magisk hide doesn't work. I would like to get all my apps working properly but this would require a non-rooted device that allowed screen resolution changes.

Has anyone who has seen Oreo on the Tab S3 noticed if you can change the resolution nativly on it?

Thanks.

I've done some searching, but cannot figure out what they are, or more specific, what they stand for.

I understand it has to to with bootloader settings or version numbers, and that I must have a number of 4 or higher to use the USPL bootloader, but I'd just like to know more about it. Perhaps there are other acronyms or names that could be defined as well... anyone feel like making a definition thread as a sticky?

In a way, it's like telling someone they need gasoline of octane of 92 or higher for their performance engine... they don't need to know what octane is, or what it does, just to look for the right number.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] Thunderdr:
Hello everyone. I'm fairly new here.

I had a moto e4 plus but I'm ditching it as I've bought a redmi 5 plus 4 /64 (I believe) from eglobal.

The terrible thing is that I don't know which carrier it works on. I didn't do much research. I just read that it was really good for the money so I bought it impulsively.

It's all my fault, I know.

Can anyone be so kind as to tell me what carrier it'll work on? I tried to do it myself but all the different bands and networks and frequencies confused me.

I'm in the USA in Texas, if that helps any.

Thank you in advance.

There is a suggestion why don't you borrow sim card from any of your friend and check either it will work or not.

Or you may go to service center and try different carriers.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] Thunderdr:
The problem is that everyone I know uses Boost mobile so I have no way of testing it on other carriers. I don't think I can test on Boost because they don't use sim cards.

I think I saw on YouTube that I'll be able to use AT&T, cricket wireless and T-mobile. Can anyone confirm?

[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] The MBG:
So I've been using my phone a few weeks now. The first handset I exchanged as it had a stuck pixel near the centre of the screen. The replacement was ok, the screen isn't perfect, but it's definitely acceptable.

I feel really split on the phone. On the one hand, I really like the hardware. The phone is well constructed, feels solid, no glass back. A headphone jack is a big plus. The camera is fine for the price and more. Also, I do like many aspects of EMUI as it utilizes similar customizations to LG.

However, the phone is starting to annoy me on a regular basis. Most notably issues with notifications, widgets and Bluetooth. All things that appear to dog Huawei/Honor phones to one degree or another. Thing is I rely on those three day in, day out.

I'm not fussed about gaming ability or adding filters to photos. I just want the (Android) basics done right. Not too much to ask is it.

The question is how long do I wait to see if they sort any of these issues. Sure, I could email or Facebook message them, but I'm certain the reply will involve clearing the cache, resetting the phone etc. If I send it in for 'repair' I doubt it would come back any different.

As firmware updates appear to be a lower priority than many OEMs I'm not hopeful. As the phone has been out a few months now in a number of territories I would have expected some dedicated ROM development by now. Perhaps that was a little optimistic.

Rooting looks like a necessity in the short term. Just to see if I can fix the notifications and widgets.

Longer term, well due to my lack of faith I'm going to keep an eye on the market. Last year I tried both the G6 and the 5T. The former was returned because the screen was uneven, with a dark patch in the middle. Also, I just didn't like it enough. The 5T, while perfect in many ways, gave me headaches. Whether that was a PWM or OLED thing I couldn't say. I don't suffer using PWM laptop screens, so it I guess it was the vibrancy or something else. Anyway, OLED screens are off my list. Shame as I really like using my Samsung Tab A which is a standard LED and would buy a Samsung phone if they hadn't had all switched screen tech now.

I kinda hope I can find solutions to the phone's issues. Simply because I don't think I'll find a better 'bang for my buck'. Just a question on how long I'm prepared to give it.

Do one thing. Go to Settings-> Battery -> Launch and select the apps manually that you require for notification. Monitor and provide the results to us.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] The MBG:
Was the first thing I did. Solved a lack of notifications but has zero effect on the delayed.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] The MBG:
While I was checking on the status of the exchanged phone with my retailer (John Lewis in the UK), they let me know I actually had a 35 day return window if I wasn't happy. Something I wasn't aware of.

So after having a long conversation with one of their tech guys (who actually knew his stuff!), I did some further research.. Now I'm even more certain that these are EMUI problems across the board.

Indeed, if I'd spent top dollar on a flagship Huawei unit I'd be extremely annoyed. but TBH I'm just disappointed. Decent hardware and tons of potential hobbled by over zealous battery/power management and some suspect wireless chips.

Having read today about Huawei removing bootloader unlocking for new devices, just confirms I've made the right decision in returning the View 10. Seems like they won't fix problems and in the future they won't let you fix them yourselves. That's a very poor move.

Best of luck to those sticking with their brands.

I put the old battery and it worked, but it was not what I wanted. The next day a friend lent me her charger, and the new battery charged normally, so I bought a new charger and everything was fine for a day until again, 75% and it did not pass or restart. Yesterday it collapsed, as it did not recognize any charger or USB cable, and it turned off, when connecting it only entered a vibration loop but without turning on the LED or screen, even if the old battery was charging, it was as if suddenly the charging pin it no longer serves.
