The Samba app I am using is LAN drive - SMB server as it seems to be the only one I can find that supports SMB v2.

I have looked at the app permissions and I do not see a toggle to make is persistent... may be looking in the wrong place...

As for the box, I arrived at the assumption that was an S905X with the info I found about it.

It is branded Justop M9Pro.

The original recovery was lmy47v.20160520 (now TWRP).

CPU-Z tells me the SOC is ARM Cortex-A53 [MENTION=4413955]2.0[/MENTION]2GHz (P201 amlogic board).

Hopefully I did not get to the wrong conclusion

hey if you send me the links for your working factory firmware and the rom you want the remote to work in can attempt to remove the DTB from your factory rom and put in the new firmware once your happy with one, wifi can be trial and error, you can open the device to see what wifi chip is in your device, this will help you find the right version of custom rom ( some are for AP6330 others RTL chips ect...) and it may be possible to take vendor partition too from your factory rom to try fix wifi

that would be cool, here is an BC address if you would like to add somthing to it :)

unfortunatley your device is a s905 based box see this post

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
In the app setting there is an option to start at boot, to start the server at boot, to disable auto timeout, and to run as a service, check these are selected
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Hotrod369:
I've looked and looked for the link where I got this working firmware that I want to use and couldn't find it. So I tried many others and they all either error during burn or brick the box after a successful burn. Here is the name of the file I want to use. Certified_TV_9.0_X88_X3_pro(Transpeed_X3)-RAM_4G_S905x3_1000M__Not_Key_1.img Here is the link for the firmware for my box that everything works. https://mega.nz/file/VCZ3FKbI#Op6KXEzVKOjx2t7hPEkwYBtGpp8W7vFBunQ3YcqM7k0 The wifi chip on my box is a SP6330. If you can't find that file I gave you the name of maybe you could show me what to do to fix the remote and wifi. I'm really interested in learning as much as I can and if I fix it myself next time I'll know how without needing help.

I sent you a BC donation it wasn't much but my disability check don't go very far. Just wanted you to know I appreciated the help.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
wow its greatly appeciated and yhea i can show you what i changed to get remote and wifi to work, this might take a few flashes to get working but hopefully get there :) be tomorrow before get a chance to look at he files :)

Hi Aidan!

I did what you asked...not sure its a help because I had to use a different remote to type 'dmesg' in.

Anyway... wrong custom code is

Many thanks!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
is yiur box a nextbox device? the remote code amd remote layout matches, you should install the nextbox a95x version from

Sorry but no it wont work on rockchip devices

First of all great job with this Rom!

I'm currently testing it and seems to work very well. Much faster than the original.

However, I had some issues with Disney+. The sound it's working however after the system reboots the app doesn't open anymore. Weird behavior but only works after the first initialization.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Thanks

That is really strange I don't have an account to test it with but I will see if I can figure anything out
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] secrethome:
Good news, at least for me. It's working now. Today on aptoide I updated to version 1.9.1 and the problem seems to be fixed. So I assume it was the old version and not a problem with the Rom.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
I'm just glad the sound works in disney+ now as was on my to figure out list for a while
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Hotrod369:
I've switched to another firmware and the remote now works but still need help with the wifi.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ultrabuzz:
Hey. Nice work on the rom! Flashed to Zoomtak s905x/2G/8G and everything seem to be working just fine.

More of a "cosmetic" question.. Is there any way to add apps from app drawer onto App Bar on main screen? Like phone version of Netflix?

Or perhaps there is another launcher that can..?

Thanks
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Thanks lad, You can install "TV App Repo" this will create a tiny app (this tv app is a shortcut to the mobile app) that show phone apps on phone app on the leanback launcher homescreen :)

Hello guys and Mr developer. I bought a x96 max plus 4gb ram 32gb rom. I want to convert it to android TV. Do you know if this rom gonna work? Thanks a lot in advance.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Hi, having a look on google suggests you have a amlogic s950x3 (the s905 & s905x3 are different) you would need to try roms for s905x3 :)

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] micallan_17:
hi, thanks for the rom, tested it yesterday on an s905X (chill TV) device and i booted well, the remote works for basic navigation but i think it can be improved, i made a TWRP backup of the original software if you would like to take a look perhaps?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ramz78:
The rom which I provided to you is the one which I am using too but if you can modify for better performance then send me too. Also keep on hunting for custom rom, if found then don't forget me.

Enjoy ???.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Hotrod369:
I guess you didn't have time to look at this. That's ok I really do appreciate the help you gave me you set me on the right path anyway.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
hey, im still at the stage of learning myself, asp when it comes to oreo & Pie Roms, alot of the files for wifi ect are not compatible between android 7 & android 8 and newer due to amlogic updating the kernel for oreo+, i have no programming experience ect so i am learning as i go :)

So your remote works a little but not perfect on my v7.3 ROM, but it works in the 6.0 rom you sent me?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] locoslaw:
Hi!

I have already V7.1 (Great Rom BTW).

Can I update to V7.3 without using Amlogic Burning Tool?

If I upgrade by Burnig Tool did i lose data?

Thx.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Hi, I could make a TWRP backup of a fresh install and you can flash that zip file from TWRP recovery but you will loose the data, I have tried to make a update package but it fails to flash inside TWRP so I think it would only work with a stock recovery

My tv box model is MXQ PRO+ 2G/16G S905X with HS2734A wifi module.

Everything work well with this rom except the bluetooth and wifi.

Maybe it needed to add HS2734A wifi module driver.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
hi, there is a know issue with the hs chip, not sure what i have tried adding the module but it dosnt work unfourtunatley

error uploading image

I'm getting an error while uploading. Would you know the cause by any chance?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
are you 100% sure your device is s905x, and NOT s905w ect,,. if your sure it is s905x some devices especially mxq devices have a strange DTB filess (eg p214 ect...)

Try this alternative version, it has more DTB files, but the ui is limited to 720p (and dpi adjusted to keep scaling about the same) this is only if you have had issues flashing the regular version, It flashed so my device but cnat gaurantee it will for you

Pleas let me know :)

https://mega.nz/folder/E8oUTBhB#I7eem_thp9o-evrQk5UAZQ
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Robbie Doo:
I believe it's S905X, because I get this when I turn on the box. It's M9C Pro.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Kewl_one:
Hi Aidan,

Thanks for all your work here!

Can you help me please? I have a MXQPRO-II box. On the PCB MXQ905X and RT8189. It has a Hynix Nand. Tried to flash your original rom and the alternate version but they do not work... USB burning tool gives this error: HUB1-1 [0x30405004] UBOOT/Partition bootloader/Verify Patition/ Error result

When connected the USB tool says connect succes... but when I try to start up nothing on the screen...

I am using V3.1 of the burning tool but it defaults to 2.18 for this image.. I just noticed that Robbie Doo is using 2.2... Is that a problem?

What did I do wrong?

TIA
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Hi thanks for the feedback, I will upload a couple of roms for you to try, and then I can work from there if one works

As for burning tool v2.2.0 (the version I link to here) seems to be newes version that works with my device, be seem to be for newer devices/ SOC or android versions
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Kewl_one:
Ok Thanks in advance!

Forgot to mention it is an 1G/8G device... Now I tried some other roms some burn succesfully and sometimes I do get a bootlogo but the box never really starts up... Sometimes LED stays red sometimes goes blue.... Hope this helps..
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] paczek85:
Hello. I have mxq pro 4k s905x 2GB 16 / GB. The firmware works very well, especially fast. so far I had android 6, completely different mechanics and menu. in android 6, the android version was typical for a tablet, in the google store all applications were visible, etc., and in your android version it is coordinated with the device and treats the device like a typical smart TV, not a tablet. Store, browser and desktop look different. apart from the fact that youtube can clip during startup once in a while, the gray background does and I can't turn it on, it all flashes nicely. but the question is about the desktop, the main screen of your system version. is it possible to remove this strip with the microphone, the voice dial which I marked in red? and is it possible to somehow disable this last viewed list which I marked in blue? and is there any full version of the google browser? thank you for the answer, Master

I also have a question, namely I have a problem with miracast, the phone has an image transfer function, it connects to my smart tv without any problem, and I can't with the android tv box. I can see the connection, it connects, but the connection drops after a second. What may be the problem? I have a blackberry keyone, android 8 phone
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Kishore12:
Hey Aidan, if it could be just a modded settings app installation, can u pls make it into a flash able zip, I don't want to lose the current data by reflashing 7.3. TIA.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Hotrod369:
I just wanted to let you know all my problems are solved. I was over at Freaktab and ran across the SlimBox Custom firmware which actually came from XDA . Turns out there is a version for the Transpeed X3 Pro mine is a plus but it worked. My remote and Wifi work perfectly. It basically turned my box into a shield. Now I wish I hadn't spent $200 on the shield pro at the first of the month.

Anyway I'm still not going to stop until I figure out how to completely unpack edit and repack the Amlogic Android 9.0 Pie firmware. I don't care if it takes me another 6 moths lol. Anyway Thank you for the help you gave me. You pointed me in the right direction. If I get it figured out I'll share my notes with you. I've got Unbuntu set up on another drive for dual boot so I'll being tinkering with it in my spare time.. :D
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Kewl_one:
Can you please up them to mega or another platform... Google drive is just a nuissance... Thanks!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ste27.jah:
hello the rom and it compatible with the bqeel Y8 Max which has 4Giga of Ram. thank you for the answers
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
when it comes to the google search bar you can try uninstalling the google app (Katniss.apk) and for the reccomendations row you can turn off reccomendations in the settings, you can also try installing the "leanback launcher for fire" app that has the reccomndations row disabled but this has its own issues, or try another launcher altogether

The chrome browser is the standard google chrome android version

I reccomend using Smart Youtube TV, this plays flawlessley (using the pro launcher) and removes adverts too
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
good news, yhea good luck if i make some progress ill fill you in not had a chance tpo play wint pie past few weeks but soon hopefully, thats it takes time but be so satisfying once its actually done
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
unfoutunatley not, your device appears to have a S905X3 processor in it, look for roms for S905X3 :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
no problem

ok here are 3 roms that work on devices that have had issues flashing my ROM and almost any other rom they have tried, try ATVX MXQ Special first, if not then the try the others

https://mega.nz/folder/QkZTmaZa#iaFEG4McZUPgz1j3kINW3A

Let me know if it works and can take it from there

Nope, it has a mediatek SoC. This is only for amlogigic s905x box's.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] exterminatorzeus:
Can someone recommend a best rom for the tank. Beside linage os.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Kewl_one:
THANKS THANKS AND THANKS!!!

DID I SAY THANK YOU! Anyway your first choice (ATVX MXQ Special) breathed life in my brick again... did not think that was still possible.. so THANKS!

However... the remote profile does not work... only when i hook up a keyboard and mouse and a radio remote (with voice that does work!) I was able to get through the set up... So I thought Ill try the next rom... but no such luck... Burn tool does not connect anymore... So I thought TWRP... no such luck... Does not want to install from GPlay and sideloaded does not really work.. claims there is no recovery image there... Also tried upgrading/loading with SD card and USB while resetting on Power up... no such luck... OTA and Local update also do not bring more joy...

What is the proper way to install another image now?

Did I say THANK YOU!?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
I have updated 7.4 MXQ build to be compatible with your device please re download the MXQ Special Build and this should now sucsesfully flash and boot and please let me know :)

If your device isnt detected by USB burn tool anymore you would need to use "Mask ROM Mode" to force the device to be detected, this is achieved usally be shorting 2 pins on your NAND/EMMC Chip, google your device and check the part number of the nand/emmc chip to determine how to initiate mask rom mode

I would never reccomend any other way of installing roms than USB bur tool
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
I'm looking into it but in not familiar with TWRP zip update process outside of a remote patch
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Robbie Doo:
Can this be used on Vankyo MatrixBox X95 Plus?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] pop4xda:
Thanks for the great Rom ever for my old Nexbox a95x (2/16 Gb version).

One little issue though, When set playback mode (auto-refresh rate) to level 2, some video streaming apps can change the resolution to 1080p25hz or 1080p30hz but after stop, it won't change back to default, ie. 1080p60hz (Smart youtube tv app can change back.)

However, I think if it's possible can you make it that 1080p25hz video automatically up to 1080p50hz and 1080p30hz to 1080p60hz.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Kewl_one:
Oops... this updated version just flashes V7.4 and your name after 4 seconds right below edge of screen and then nothing...

Trying the stock rom now...

---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 AM ----------

Stock rom worked.... inclusive Remote. Now trying M16 Build
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Kewl_one:
M16 Build also works... Kodi has hickups though... Thanks for now... I will retry your 7.4 later... did not see a startup animation except the announcement... Is that normal...

Other question... Is there a way to make an (USB) Image from a working system or is that only possible with TWRP?

TIA

Fred
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Hi, your device is s905Y2 based by he looks of it so looking or firmwares for s905y2 is where to start :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Hi, ill be honest this is probably beyond my knowledge to troubleshoot and fix, although now i know its somthing to look into, like with the certificate install bug i fixed i cane across a possible solouton in th files one day and it worked so hopefully with time(I personally never use automatic refresh as don't like the jarring switch)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
so all 3 of those roms worked (booted)?

i havent used TWRP to make a burm img, i have to use windows tools to package the burn files and make changes
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Kewl_one:
Yes all of the 3 worked... But...

first one (V7.3) with remote problems.... New V7.4 Does not boot... Just flashes V7.4 lower richt corner and goes black...

Second one is a bit laggy... hickups on playback from youtube and local media (dlna)

Third one is stock... not very nice I feel...

Got any other roms I can try for you (and me?)

So what windows tool can I use to make an Image over USB?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ferchino83:
I have a mbox s905x mxqpro 16 gb, will work on that device?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
i don't know of any other roms that will boot on your device currently, you seem to have one of these non standard devices that seem to have issues with most firmwares

And you can use amlogic customisation tool

to be clear

"Test 2 [v7.3] (MXQ) Aidan's ROM V 7.3 [S905X] [P212, P214 & P242] MXQ Pro 4K 1GB 2GB+ (720pUI & 210DPI)" worked but with no remote?

"[v7.4] (MXQ) Aidan's ROM V 7.3 [S905X] [P212, P214 & P242] MXQ Pro 4K 1GB 2GB+ (720pUI & 210DPI)" Did NOT Work?

"ATVX Special MXQ Build" Worked No Remote?

"M16_2_16_OS7.1.2_32_stable_online" Worked not great?

"MXQ PRO V8 Stock Firmware" Worked Worked Not Great?

Is That Correct?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Yes it should, i would try universal first :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Kewl_one:
Nope V7.3 did not work at all.... Rest is correct...

Am now downloading your Nexbox build... will inform later

Nexbox built 7.4 did not work either.

I recerted to the special MXQ atv experience build... this has remote problems but have a USB Keybord that does work... If you could solve the remote problem in this build (remote only partially works... e.g. down arrow works... Up arrow not...) That would make me very happy!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Ok the remote worked in the m16 & the Stock firmwares?
