Anyone install magisk on this ROM without issue? Want to experiment with a few things for Hue light sync and need to try two different modules to see if I can make this work natively.

***EDIT***

Installation of SuperSU apk will result in bootloop. Don't do it. Will require reflash.

Magisk. Will show like it installs, but it will break root and the ability to enter recovery. Don't do it. Will require reflash.

Not sure what level of patchwork is in place, but this is really disappointing. Bad enough Prime video won't work and I believe I seen something about Netflix as well (not sure don't use it). With the correct Magisk patches some level of widevine support could be possible. Just another kick in the nuts for decent hardware with so-so software.

Open to suggestions here but I'll probably be replacing this box anyways. What good a modified box that you can modify is.... I just don't know.

help: tv box does not appear

I have tried all versions of USB Burning Tool but my laptop does not recognized the x96 max. I tried to install the rom with a sd card but I got the e: footer is wrong and signature verification failed. Any idea??

Hello friends ... I haven't been here for a long time, moved several times and today I found my 2 devices "Amilogic NEXBOX A5 TV Box 2/16".

It is still Android 6.0.1 and currently it is Android 9. The new version Android 9 here from Xannytech, does it also run on my device?

Thanks for information.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] castrow:
Absolutely. I have installed th SW with the box connected, everything. I disable the driver's signature verification and the UBS tool recognized the box but as soon I start to flash it, it stops in the 3% showing an error. I am guessing that it is simplier to do an OTA's upgrade through an SD card. Any suggestions?? Thanks a lot

I had to uninstall the Chromecast updates and turn off automatic updates for the casting to work. Also worth noting, 4k casting is glitchy, constantly buffering. As for the optical issue I can't comment. Mine worked perfectly on the T95Q.

Alguna otra idea?

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] siralsmooth:
Wow is this app buggy. Was trying to post a translated response to make this easier but the app keeps chopping the response.

That's what worked for me. 4k Chromecast never worked. Did you restart the device after uninstalling updates? I had to do that as well for it to work.

I'm also using a T95Q so that could be why mine worked.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] victor_campa:
Hola de nuevo [MENTION=4446386]siralsmooth[/MENTION],

Si, probé a desinstalar las actualizaciones y después reiniciar, y no funciona.

Puede que tu dispositivo al ser diferente funcione de manera diferente.

¿Alguien que lo tenga instalado en un X96 Max 4-64 y que le funcione el Chromecast built in de la ROM?

¿Recomendáis alguna otra ROM para este dispositivo?

Yo desde luego estoy muy contento con la ROM de [MENTION=1496527]Xannytech[/MENTION] , lo único que no me funciona es el Chromecast bulit in, el resto genial.

Wow! Lots of info here. It has taken me 3 days in my spare time to read it all.

I have a sky stream 3 plus. I am wondering if anyone has tried this fw on it? Or any suggestions?

Flash Memory: 64GB

Bluetooth: Yes

It also has a toslink/optical audio connection which stopped working about 5 or 6 months after getting this box. Is this the bug that has been spoken of here before? If it is I would love to be able to flash something that will actually work.

I am sure the seller of this box will not be upgrading the software.

By reading this thread it sure seems like this is pretty much the same box except with different stickers and labels. Even the angled corners are exactly the same.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] DragonBlueSpirit:
Does this work for the new Max + device as well?

And no matter what box I try to flash, I always get errors with the burning tool at 3% (Romcode/BI2_Boot stage error).. so is there an other way to flash my X96 Max + box to ATV? :(
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aymanshow:
yes me too with

I finally got around to flashing the rom from here today.

I can tell you that the Android 8 and 9 versions both work quite well on a SkyStream 3 Plus.

I have had the Android 9 running for about an hour so far. Will post any glitches that pop up in the near future!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Nightshadow855:
Hello and thanks for putting the effort and time to build something like this.

I have a few questions because i cannot flash the firmware on my x96 max 4gbram/32gb rom.

I follow the procedure:

1. open up amlogic usb burn tool

2. load the image "XTM_ATV_X96_4_4.img"

3. leave the options as is (erase bootloader + normal erase)

4. Click start

5. I connect the usb to the blue port while holding the reset button -> Connection success message appears

The problem:

I get 2 different error codes at 1% (not at the same time) -> [0x10103005]Romcode/Initialize DDR/Download buffer/Read item data

OR -> [0x32030201]Uboot/Get result/DiskInitial error

Tried multiple times and with different images (from this thread) but no luck. And the device is not affected in any way so far, it still boots normally to the stock os (android 8.1)

Do i need to unlock my bootloader? if yes how do i do that? Also do i need to wipe data / dalvik cache before installing?

Thanks in advance

**EDIT**

I read somewhere that i get this error because the device is encrypted that's why i get these errors.

It accepts only stock firmware is that true?

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Nightshadow855:
Thank you very much!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] -Swamper-:
I have only ever had to hold the reset button once on mine after a bad flash. You should only have to plug the USB cord into the box and wait 20 to 30 seconds for the flash to begin as your computer needs time to recognize the box.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Nightshadow855:
Unfortunately it seems that the error codes are usb connectivity problems. I tried multiple imgs including the stock img and i get the same errors.

I run windows 10 64bit. Maybe the driver does not work well.

On device manager i get a "worldcup usb device" maybe the problem is there..

Could someone verify that this is the correct driver for amlogic soc?

Furthermore i will go buy an sdcard. I tried to burn the img to usb but it fails during format, so i will try with an actual sd card.

Finally is there any way to convert img file to an installable zip file? I can boot into recovery and install it from there (that would be awesome!)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] asripath:
yep worldcup it is called

went thru the same issues

multiple usb drives and cables and port switching (2.0/3.0)

what worked for me was burn card maker

hope you find your way soon...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Nightshadow855:
Well i'm starting to get really pissed off. The card maker doesn't burn any image to the sd. And the sd card is brand new and working

1st error : It cannot format saying "windows was unable to format the drive" so i so it manually at fat 32 default allocation size and retry. Then:

2nd Error: Check Uboot file after read failed (attaching pic)

This happens even with the stock img firmware! Any ideas?

Make sure you note down where you downloaded the firmware and tools from.

And always make sure the firmware is for your version of box.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Nightshadow855:
You will laugh at what i had to do to make it work fully i installed a vm with windows 7 to burn the card don't know why it doesnt work well on win 10. It amazes me how porrly built these tools are. And what a mess it is to flash a rom on these devices. I mean.. wow..

i won't, went thru same in a Win10 VM on a MacOS
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Nightshadow855:
Well after 4 hours it took to burn the sd with stock firmware the x96max just shows an android logo with a red x on it Wwhen booting with the sd.

To sum up:

1. Usb burning tool does not flash any of the images provided in this thread or other threads, including the stock firmware.

2. Sd card maker takes too long to burn the image (4hours?!) or fails, and if it succeeds the sd doesn't boot

3. I did a very stupid thing and installed an OTA zip of X96 AIR thinking they are similar devices with the MAX. Well now i only get a boot logo nothing more, its officially bricked.

Now i have no way of getting it back to life. I've tried over 8 different roms all for the 4/32 X96Max.

My device was in Android 8.1 u211/u211 (that's what the recovery was saying) and i cannot downgrade with OTA stock zip over the wrong one i installed earlier.

Looks like this one is dead. I'll get a xiaomi hdmi stick with just netflix & youtube and that's it. Thank you all for your time
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] asripath:
looks like a soft brick.

look in freaktab/4pda/youtube for solutions
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Nightshadow855:
Yes it is a soft brick. The wrong OTA zip from x96 Air patched the /system + /vendor partitions

I've been searching a lot and i've tried many different ways to fix it but anything i try to do i hit a wall. Let me explain:

Amlogic Usb Method:

No matter what rom i try for the x96 i get a ddr.usb read error. I've tried stock & modded iso's and different computers. All present the same errors.

Ota from stock recovery method:

Found the original u211 ota for my device. But i got an error saying that the firmware im trying to install is older than the one currently installed. So i tried to install twrp recovery for my device that others claim it works... Well now i have no recovery.. it flashed successfully twrp but now it does not enter recovery mode...

Sd burn card method:

This method only works if you have the "erase bootloader" option unchecked. Otherwise it shows an error : "uboot after read fail" or something like that. On ALL imgs that i found out there, stock or not.

While on soft brick it booted and started updating for like 5 mims. But.. then it crashed showing a red "x" under the android robot at about 80% of the process. After that it got fully bricked and it did not boot again no matter what i did. Now only the pc recognised it and it does not boot the sd.

Im going from bad to worse with this thing. Im attaching pics of the box. Just in case someone knows something I don't

I'm starting to lose it here.. i mean NOTHING WORKS?

I'm trying to find out WHY?

The data i have for my device are:

Model: At tv X96Max 4gb Ram / 32gb Rom

Hello and thank you for taking the time to respond and collect all these files. and writing down instructions.

At this point the box appears dead. When i plug the power the front clock does not light up anymore and it does not boot the sd, while before this happened it booted the sd and tried to update but it failed.

So right now only the spdif rednlight lights up and only the usb burn tool recognises it.

There seems to be a problem with the bootloader after the bad flash. Is booting twrp from the sd still an option?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] asripath:
twrp from PC/VM.

attach the box to pc via usb,

do any of the below commands list the box ?

fastboot devices

adb devices
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Nightshadow855:
Even though the worldcup device is present in device manager and have adb + fastboot + drivers installed the list is empty. Only amlogic usb tool see's the box.

But i DESTROYED it. I tried the nand short method to force the flash and damaged the hardware just now. So i will not waste any more of you time.

The lesson here for me is to never make dicesions when you are angry.

I began flashing a custom firmware on a fully working box ended up bricking it and finally damaging it. I'm an idiot!!

I think there is a version 3 amlogic burning tool. I'm not at computer right now.

Get the tool loaded up with your img file. SS off. Only have hdmi hooked to your monitor.

Once img file is loaded up, click start. Then hook usb cable to SS in blue port. Wait for flash to say finished. Unplug usb from SS then click the finish button. Power up SS.

Never update magisk. It will break root.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] riiiic:
Dear Swamper,

thank you for your reply, very much appreciated.

Before I proceed, would you please confirm a couple of things for me?

I am very annoyed by the fact that SS3+ can't "Chromecast" and is only really good for Kodi,

The rest of the apps, Netflix/Amazon Prime/D+/Youtube, either crash all the time or stream in very poor video and audio quality (I would just need full HD and 5.1 Dolby surround)

Would this upgrade improve my experience in this concern?

Should I just get a "chrome cast with google TV"?

At the moment I use my PS4 (Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+) paired with the SS3+ (only for kodi) defeating the purpose of the SS3+ being a "media centre".

Thank you so much and sorry for the long questions.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Mata_Ratos:
You'll have to buy a google certified device for that. No other option. Either ChromeCast or something that has Google TV OS. Everything else wont work properly with those apps. No point in searching for other solutions.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] riiiic:
I have the feeling it was my ignorance the culprit.

I bought it not knowing all these things and not even cheap, cause I had to pay import taxes.

Well thanks a lot, once for all, now I got the message clear.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] -Swamper-:
I was going to say the same thing. SS3 isn't google certified. I ended upgrading to an nvidia shield. My SS3plus is in the basement and only gets used occasionally. If you want those apps to use for your 4k tv, go to a different box.

I would really recommend the nvidia shield. They have consistently kept their boxes up to date with firmware. Heck, even their 2015 shields are receiving over the air updates still.
