I am no expert but i have done 2 of these and these are the notes i patched together from a number of posts and threads (i except no responsibility for any bricked devices)

1. Go to --https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools--

2. Download SDK Platform Tools zip

3. Extract the platform-tools folder from the zip to C:/

4. Download the latest image files, Gapps and the recovery from the first post Currently:

lineage-16.0-20191006-UNOFFICIAL-pearlyn.zip

lineage-16.0-20191006-UNOFFICIAL-pearlyn.zip.md5sum

open_gapps-arm-9.0-tvmini-20190826-UNOFFICIAL.zip

recovery.img

5.Place these 4 files in C:/Platform-tools

6.Open Command Promt as a administrator

7.type "cd c:\platform-tools"

8.type "start fastboot.exe"

9.type "start adb.exe"

10.plug forge into pc via USB and then connect forge power supply (without hdmi plugged in)

11.type "fastboot devices" (if this worker it should display numbers and the word fastboot to show its detected)

12.type "fastboot oem unlock" (only needed if you currently have a locked bootloader)

13.type "fastboot reboot bootloader"

14.type "fastboot boot recovery.img" (wait about a minute, you should hear the USB device disconnect then reconnect)

15.type "adb devices" (if this worked it should display numbers and the word recovery to show its detected)

16.type "adb shell twrp install lineage-16.0-20191006-UNOFFICIAL-pearlyn.zip" (wait till its finished)

17.type "adb shell twrp install open_gapps-arm-9.0-tvmini-20190826-UNOFFICIAL"(wait till its finished)

18. type "adb shell twrp wipe data"

19. type "adb shell twrp wipe cache"

This should now be complete

forgetv adb

Hi guys, I just started trying to flash my stock Forge TV with this custom rom, but I'm stuck on the first step unlock bootloader. When I connect USB, and connect power, without HDMI, the device still booted into main menu, and usb was not detected.

I have checcked USB debugging is enabled, and Device Mode is On.

What am I missing? And thanks for this lineageos build for forge tv.

Time for CPR again

It's been awhile, after several moves I came across the fancy paperweight again and thought, hmm I'll try fixing it again. I've attempted to reflash the stock image with my new PC which had no problem finding it as a fastboot, but after flashing boot then recovery then system still stuck with a bootloop, I loved this guy when he worked and looks so much nicer than my Nvidia TV but it just won't boot I don't know what's wrong. Does the almighty gabrielgagz have any wisdom he could lend me? Edit: looks like with TWRP I can adb into it as well just did a recovery --wipe-data but so far nothing.
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] LOGICH4CK:
Ok So After using minimal adb fastboot 1.4.2 I was able to use the stock razer image to get out of the boot loop, then after adb pushing the gapps and linagae rom to the sdcard I was able to install it! after near 2 years its alive again! my old pc for some reason couldn't adb correctly!

just in case anyone has similar problems I did here's my log

Thanks for all the good work.

Just stumbled upon this and excited to try it.

Is this development still active? How stable is it?

I see OP mentions he is working on Android 10, is that for forge tv too? Any timeline on that?

Thanks for keeping this alive ?
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] Licentia:
How are you able to install the rom through TWRP without an HDMI-CEC TV? I have a Magnavox, which uses Fun-Link and is only able to turn the device on or off. I've pushed the rom to /sdcard/ on the device but I can't control move around in TWRP. I've tried switching to a mouse right after rebooting into recovery before TWRP launches and I've tried connecting the Razer controller to the usb port but am still unable to move around in TWRP.
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] ClemmerC:
I keep getting stuck at "cannot locate zip..." And "cannot map file..."

I've downloaded multiple copies of different builds, placed in different directories. Any help would be appreciated.
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] thienhavotac07:
Hi, I have the same problem like you. Could you please share with me how could you overcome that problem?
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] Nyegnav:
Stupid question.

How do I connect the forge to PC?

Does the usb power cord have data?
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] sweetdreamz338:
Hi All,

I have approx 30+ Razer Forge devices but all of them have Mersive Wireless Collaboration software installed on them. As these were their Gen 1 Devices they are useless to the company. If I can install Android TV on these we can give them away to the employees otherwise these brand new devices will go to garbage.

So if anyone can help re-flash these will be much appreciated.

Thanks
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] Silent700:
After much (self-caused) heartache, I got LineageOS to install on a Solstice/Mersive variant of the Forge. It works! But...there is apparently no USB driver in the ROM. USB keyboard and mouse are not recognized. I had a BT keyboard handy and paired it, but navigation is difficult and becomes impossible once you're stuck in a menu with no "Back" key. Since this was not the Razer version of the device, I do not have their game controller to pair to the box.

Can the Android TV Remote app be installed on any modern Android device? It's no longer in the Play Store.
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] Silent700:
I went back and cleared the cache/user data partitions via TWRP and now the local USB keyboard works. Can't explain that one, but it's a step I overlooked during the initial flash.

Still limited utility without a back button, though.

Hello there,

Was wondering if Prime Video will work. And what about all the free apps, Pluto, Tubi, Freevee, and the like?

Thank you,

Doug
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] drarbo1:
I have a Forge, stock configuration, and I use an older tablet version of Prime video. A little fiddly, I need an airmouse to navigate, but it works, for the most part. Does the stock firmware support this L1, and why I can use Prime to some degree?

how were you able to turn on USB debugging to turn on the steps. Seems like mine is locked down to the software, I can't figure out how to get out to turn USB debugging so I can use adb commands.

I know this is a really old topic, but I recently found a very cheap forge tv and bought it, I mostly use ppsspp and the performance surprised me in this 8 year old chip! I would like to know if Vulcan can be enabled on this build? before I go through the process of installing the rom
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] theastroboy:
I have successfully flashed this ROM and Gapps, but have few questions. I hope someone can help.

1. How do I root this or enable root? Magisk or SuperSU? I see a root option in developer menu, but is is only for adb, not app.

2. Can I flash TWRP onto the device after installing LOS16? OP mentioned the recovery partition is too big. Does the recovery partition increase in size after flashing LOS16?

3. I have not been able to use Forge TV Remote app to work. Anyone has the same problem?

4. I noticed there are remains of some app folders in my device even though I factory reset before installing LOS16 and a wipe data and cache after installing. How do I get rid of these *craps*?

Thanks.
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] Jimmyslam:
Just installed this firmware.

But I think overall performance is bad in menus.

I also installed a videogame and FPS fluctuated in between 40 and 50 FPS making it a poor experience.

Does anyone know if this ROM is using Tegra accelerated GPU ? I believe it is not, but I might be wrong.
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] Jimmyslam:
There is an option to enable root, in system settings.

Yes, the menus are noticeably choppy.

In AIDA64 i've seen 2 of the 805's 4 cores being inactive (sleeping) most of the time, i tried force enabling them but it doesn't fix sluggishness.

Although when i use SmartTube and leave the app the menus actually run good for a few moments before becoming sluggish again...

Any solution would be appreciated...
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] nascar48:
I know generally that most unlocked Chineese phones are not Verizon compatible. But, both the OnePlus 6t and 7 pro are even though they are LTE only so I figured there may be a possibility and was curious if anyone actually attempted it.

This seems like the best phone on the market right now, it's almost $200 cheaper than the next snapdragon 855 phone in the US.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] SuperDroidMe:
Works great on AT&T Prepaid Unlimited, typically for CDMA carriers you need to buy they're approved phones.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] gdaddy3315:
I'm actually on Verizon unlimited and had the same questions for them.

I installed my sim card from my previous phone LG v20. And it seems it's using the provisioning from it. All the network info was there. But couldn't seem to get data. So I used shortcut master lite and went to the telephoney part of network settings and had to play with the network settings. Got it to work really well by downloading a network settings app and playing with the band info. It's pretty straight forward and easy to use.

By the way Verizon has no idea what kind of phone I have and it says it's rooted. But it's not. Cloud works great, my Verizon, message+ and anything I throw at it from the Verizon apps. Tech support said that as long as im using my existing sim and have done whatever I did to make it work. Keep doing it. But they have no idea if they are going to setup services and get the info anytime soon.

So I got just what I always wanted.

A nice phone that they can't track or get into it unless I allow them. Perfect
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] trace1er:
This phone works fine on Verizon, I currently have both the phone and Verizon service. VOLTE works and everything, just no wifi calling
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] GuestK00434:
Wow! You all are using the North American Nubia Red Magic 3?

I'm usually on T-Mobile most of the year but during the summer I need Verizon where I go so I didn't consider the RM3. I usually use total wireless or StraightTalk and I've had good luck with slapping their SIM cards into different phones without an issue.

So if you all can tell me the tricks, if any, and which model (US or international) I'll pick one up — sub $500 for S855 and big AMOLED screen!

---------- Post added at 05:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:21 PM ----------

And what about band 13 on Verizon? Isn't that the main band for them?
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] trace1er:
No band 13, but Verizon also uses bands 4 and 5 which this phone supports. I actually believe band 4 is their main band. I didn't have to do anything but put my SIM card in. Although in the past when I had a OnePlus 6T, I had Verizon provision my line to be LTE only. Don't know if that step is needed for this phone, as it supports CDMA. I'm using the North American version bought directly from Red Magic.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] GuestK00434:
Thanks for the info. Band 13 (700MHz) is Verizon's main band due to its penetration and distance, according to online info, but you are also correct — 2, 4, along with 5 and 66 all work on Verizon. If they put 71 and 13 in this thing it would have everything. So I should be able to get something in most areas.

Good to know I just need to put the SIM in. I can always activate on my old Moto X Pure.

Thanks again!
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] Pierland:
Please oh knowledgeable one, bestow upon me the settings you used to get the phone to work on Verizon. I popped my SIM in to the phone when i first got it and ZERO issues for weeks. Then recently all the sudden I no longer had any service whatsoever. No matter how much I tried to play with the settings, nothing seems to work. What appp did you use for the network settings to play with the band info? Really don't want to change carriers right now.

Please and thanks in advance :silly:
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] gdaddy3315:
Well it was easy, phone off , installed the sim card and poof service for about 2 hours and then I had to keep toggling the airplane mode. Until I remembered when my LG V20 stopped getting signal because I had it rooted. Verizon kept trying to kick it off because they don't want rooted phones on there. And also there software constantly tries to update the phone to remove root on you.

Anyways, I m sure you know this part of Verizon. There are many variations of it. But network settings App. All pretty much show the same menu. But LTE only is what you select. And you will constantly have to go back into it and enable the data. The menu looks like this hopefully I can post it but choose LTE only.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] nabbed:
So it basically doesn't work because you have to jump through hoops to make it kinda work?

I remember when I sold my Pixel XL, the guy was able to use it right away on Verizon with his sim card.

Did Verizon add more measures to keep people away with unauthorized phones?
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] gdaddy3315:
Well all I really know is that they say that they just don't have any info about the phone. It has all the bands that work. Except band 13. I haven't rooted it because there still isn't a functional root for it. That setting in the pic I downloaded, theres a switch that says immediate. That's changes to disabled because of the doze function. It's solely for data. I keep mine on lte only. And just have to change it from disabled to immediate. It's kinda a pain in the rear. But. Its a functioning phone on Verizon service that they say doesn't support it. No Verizon apps except cloud and My Verizon. With limited access. It's great as far as I'm concerned. Biggest problem with Verizon. Is Verizon.

But as soon as a functioning root is available and im comfortable I'll root it and enable band 13. I'm pretty sure it's there. Just Verizon won't pay to get the access to the phones. So there's that.

One more thing the OnePlus 7 pro works on Verizon with some GSM function. There support just won't try to do it on the RM3. Other option is you have a second Sim slot. Get you another sim card and that takes care of emergency stuff.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] Lancefer:
Guess I'll be buying the best gaming phone ever made, the Red Magic 5G next! Sorry Verizon, it's time to move on. Or you can support this baby and make a lot of money.

I am now making a kitchen for a Portugese edition.

It is the same base as i used at our Dutch WM6.1 Editon

Basis:

- SLIM 3.1 5.2.199

- CoffieROM PTG

I use the CoffieROM for the first translations.

I replace in the SLIM edition all 409 MUI with a 816 MUI if avauilable or i renamed this to 816 so that you van see some txt:)

I test this kitchen now on duplicate files. and then i placed this kitchen in this thread.

I was asked to help and i cant send more than 7 MB so i do it on this wasy.

It is a good start.

But before starting to make a own ream read al informating about "cooking" roms.

also very important 9100 must be CID unlocked. If it a G3 or G4 could also make some difference.

Download

Must be in 2

- OEM/ROM/SYS http://www.4shared.com/account/dir/6874233/1f7c0084/sharing.html?promptText=MUI+816

ROM + Kitcken http://www.4shared.com/dir/7181527/30b3dec6/MUI_816.html

It is uploding now

If you combind both extracted files you are ready to "cook"

Let me know if it was suc6full

Both files now available. Kitchen must be a OEM SYS and ROM with a XIP dir and a 8004000.nb file.

I dont test this kitchen but i think it wil work (iam not a language mirracle :D). I create a Dutch version on the same way. But the Portugese Coffie consist more progs.

If there are some difficulties it could be the initfiles.dat. If he diddnt want to realign, you must create a 0 kb file named as welcome.not on your SD card then he skipped this option.

If you dont heve these problems SD card must be out. How many times i ferget this ahhhhhhhhhh.
