Hi Aidan,

thank you for your work! I have an older S905X 1G box, I don't know the make, but v7.4 installed smoothly. Works well.

I have an original Magiscee N5 S905X but I can't install it. I got 0x10302001 error with USB burn tool...

Does this ROM work with S905X2 or S905X3 boxes?

Do you plan to switch to AndroidTV 9?

best regards, Gabor

skip initial google account setup

Hi i am wondering is it possible to skip the initial google account setup ,i have tried to change in /system/build.prop with customization tool those two things , but still now working after flash setup is starting.

ro.setupwizard.mode=DISABLED

ro.setupwizard.wifi_required=false
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
ok. is the atvx firmware rooted? or is TWRP installed? to change the relevant file
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Hi, Thats aewsome,

With the magisee it liook like it might use a custom DTB im not too sure

This Wont work on s905x2 or x3

I do sometime down the road when i learn the changes and how to properly build the images, oreo maybe in the meantime but with amlogic moving to kernel 4.19 for android 8.0 and newer the compatability will be seriously reduced (eg my m8sll 2GB boots kernel 4.19 but my mxq 1gb box wont boot anything newer than the 3.14 amlogic kernel)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
The Best Option is to Not connect it to the internet (Disconnect WiFi and Ethernet), then you can skip past the connect to wifi setup screen and it will not ask you to sign in with google :)

i have link for download fwand ap6330.txt but i dont post here i have new user and not authorised sorry

download wifi firmware (fw_bcm40183b2.bin) and nvram (nvram_ap6330.txt) files extracted from the original Android

mount /dev/system from within LE and extract these files manually

2. create /storage/.config/firmware/brcm dir and place downloaded files there

3. create /storage/.config/modprobe.d/dhd.conf with the following content:

options dhd config_path=/usr/lib/firmware/brcm/config.txt firmware_path=/storage/.config/firmware/brcm/ nvram_path=/storage/.config/firmware/brcm/

is write?

thanks for your help
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Sorry I missed your earlier comment, universal should work, i cant guarantee wifi though or did you try already and ram into issues?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
This seems off, I'm not at home to look at directories till tomorrow but the ap6330 Wifi Files are included in my firmware, few possabilities 1. My implementation dosnt work, 2.DTB ant thepoms for wifi moduke are diffrent 3. firmware maybe missing, 4. Files may be from diffrent kernel version.

I will look into this see if I can figure it out
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] saillet:
Yes is strange because shearch wifi work but dont look my wifi .on other build wifi shearch dont work but on your build yes and BT work is strange .

Hi Aidan,

have you try to boot coreelec (ng version) on the box which didn't boot 4.19 kernel? I don't know whether corelec kernel is working with android or isn't but it's very optimized and well maintained. Maybe it worths a try because S905X-S905X3 is supported with the same kernel.

best regards, Gabor

hi, as far as i know the Coreelec Leberelec kernels wont work but i could be wrong, i havent tried core elec, i did rul lebreelec a few yaerss ago

Great rom. Please how do I make Magisk to work? I have flashed through TWRP recovery but always I get bootloop.

Or is there a way I can make Google playstore pass Safety Net? I have an app I used in watching live TV the app keep saying Google Play store is uncertified and therefore can't play video.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Hi I have sucsesfully flashed magisk 20.4 on this rom, this was back on version 7 or 7.1 before the firmware was rooted

What app are you trying to get working?

Did this work on other firmwares or did you need magisk to get this to work before?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] syl3ns:
Thank you for the excellent work. I am having an issue where after flashing the rom the device only boots into TWRP, on every boot. I have a rebranded NEXBOX with s905x with ap6212 wifi, 2GB RAM and 16GB storage. This should be compatible right? Has this happened before as I can't find anywhere in the thread. Cheers.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] timosat:
The app is called Dstvnow app. Same category with "skysportnow" app for streaming live TV. Whenever I try to stream a content, a message will pop up that I'm using an uncertified Google device."Please goto playstore settings to check if your Google playstore is certified". If I'm able to install Magisk I would have use Magisk hide to bypass it. Which I have done before.But now I can't install Magisk without getting bootloop. Do you have the unrooted version of this your rom(V7.4)? Or can you help us to tweak it so that Magisk can install without stress sir?. Thanks for your cooperation.

I forgot to add that the app worked on a custom rom EXTMOD 3.0 by Xannytech. It worked without issue.

This is the link https://xdaforums.com/android-stick...rom-mini-m8s-ii-2gb-xannytech-custom-t3513805
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
It should be compatible l, its compatible with about 95% of s905x devices bu there is so many clones and rebrands it's hard to say have you tried both the nexbox build and universal?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] syl3ns:
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I gave them both a shot. I went to ATV-9 MOD and it boots. I'll give yours another shot later.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Ok I will loom into this I do know that dstv recently was updated to require widevine level 1 DRM as had a couple of people ask me about this but if it still works on that rom I will see if I can figure out how
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Kewl_one:
Not completely V7.3 and V7,4 did not work [MENTION=9350973]All[/MENTION]. Any chance on an ATVX special with the Remote config from either the M16 build or the MXQPRO V8 build remote config?

Thanks in advance!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] amadika:
Please also enable magisk root on this wonderful rom. With magisk root we can do a lot more customization.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] timosat:
Thanks that would be much appreciated.

Hi Aidan, I so fall in love with this rom I wish every thing work. My android box comes with a simcard slot. It's a P212, S905x type hence when I flashed your rom it all went well except the remote. I extracted the remote conf from OEM rom and replaced the one on your rom and repacked and flashed and it's working very well. In my insatiable desire though, I still want the simcard slot to be functional. Tell me what and what I need to or extract from the OEM rom and transfer to your rom so that I can see mobile network settings and toggle between 3G/4G under preferred network type? Thanks.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Adam86:
Just wanted to say what a fantastic ROM this is on my old S905X.

Do you have any plans to make this compatible on the S905X3 or even the older S912s?

Is there anything magical you did to get multichannel PCM working on this ROM? My S905X3 and S912 do not provide this and I don't know if its a simple case of editing the build.prop or similar?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aceventura82:
Hello,

I installed the Rom and I was trying to flash the Stock recovery, the flashing fineshed OK in TWRP, but now I cannot acces to any recovery, TWRP nor stock recovery, and also the box is in boot loop

Tried with recovery.img in an sdcard and pressing the recovery button, but the box simpling start and boot instantly

Tried to re flash the rom,using sdcard (that's how I installed first) but looks like does not recognize the sdcard

tried to simply start the box and it stuck in "Androidtv Aidan's custom rom version 7.4"

So now I cannot access recovery and have boot loop, any of you guys know how to fix it?

Thanks
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
I will look into this, magisk did work on an earlier version (v7 I think) so will see if i can get it running
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Hi, you could try copying files from system/ect that may be missing, also check system/lib for any missing KO files, if yoy post a link to your original firmware I can have a look for anything obvious
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Hi, I would like to port to s905w & s912 at some point down the road, once I actually get devices with these chips in them to test with, I cant be sure what exactly fixed MC Audio, as so many changes made over lost track months ago haha, it's also possible the fix was a happy accident while fixing somting else l, just cant be sure lad :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] timosat:
Thanks.

If you can help us make Magisk work in this rom. We would be very grateful.

Hi, I am a noob to flashing android tv boxes so asking for some guidance as I don't want to **** it up.

So I have acquired an MXQ Pro (G9CX) s905x and want to try to install this rom via the sd card but the link in the op goes to a dead webpage for amlogic burn process.

What process should I be taking please so I can follow it step by step?

I have also read that some remotes don't work so need files? Where do I obtain these from or what should I prep before flashing?

Appreciate your help.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Hi, Link Updated,

I Would Advise NOT flashing using an SD Card, i Would Recommend You Obtain a USB Type A Male To USB Type A Male cable, (Same USB plug on both ends)

You Can Then Use USB Burn Tool On a computer To Install The Firmware, This Is So If Anything Goes Wrong & Your Device Cant Boot you can recover you box back to working condition again Although if you want to install using SD Card some people here have reported it worked for them but no guarantees

To Backup your remoter files you would need to extract remote.conf file from your device before flashing

It is located in /system/ect/ (Using A Root file Browser App To Access Here)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] y2k-inc:
Aidan, thank you for putting out an excellent ROM, but for the hell-out of me, i cannot download it via your YouTube channel. Downloaded but when extracted it's corrupted, else i cannot flash it via USB_Burning_tool always ending in error, i can flash other android 5.11 without issue.

Maybe someone can re-share the ROM via Google Drive?

Thanks

If you try to open the rom by double clicking it will say it's corrupted because window ls tried to mount amd open it like a DVD image, The fact that your device runs android 5.1 means it wont be S905X, its more likely its s905 (No X), s905x devices usally come with android 6.0 and newer, and the Romcode Error indicates may be wrong chip

You are right! just opened the box and it's s905 (without the X) :(

I did an experiment today. I flashed another android tv rom similar to yours.The rom is pre-rooted and with TWRP recovery. And so I flashed Magisk 20.4 on it and no issues it installed.I did some tweaking on the Magisk by installing some Magisk hide props and busy box. Then change the rom finger print to Google Nexus player and I rebooted. Checked the safety net and it passed. That's how my Dstvnow app started working without prompting for Google playstore certification.

But I still love your rom more than this. So I'm appealing to you if you could make Magisk to work on your rom. So I can permanent it as my daily driver. Thanks.

Hello, I flashed my Scishion V88 Pro with your rom (its good rom and very smooth) and now i dont have the remote working. I tried many remote.conf but no one working. Anyone was the solution for that?

Thanks and sorry my english
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] asdf2002:
Thank you for making this ROM, I've been running it for a few weeks now and it works great. I love it!

There's one small problem though: On the stock firmware, when I wanted to boot another operating system from SD card, I could use a reboot app or type "reboot recovery" on the command line and it would reboot from the SD card. With this Android TV ROM, this does not work anymore - it just boots into TWRP instead of the SD card. Any suggestions how I could enable this function again?

Here's another tip: If the YouTube app keeps crashing using this ROM and you don't want to use a third party app, try version 2.00.18 from Apkmirror. This is a very old version of the YouTube app (2017), but it's the only one that works without crashing on my box.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Hi, You Cand Download Termux, And Use "dmesg" command to get information such as remote control codes, see this guide on how to create/edit a remote.conf file (it says to use dmesg-c BUT in android you dont use the -c argument and just use "demsg") So you press a button on remote a few times then use "dmesg" You will then get the "wrong custom code is 0xXXYYZZZZ" Message, Once you add the custom code to remote.conf file, you will then be able to map the individual buttons, If You Tell Me What The Wrong Custom Code Is I Can Have A Look Through The Files I Have Here Too

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Thanks :D, Thanks For The Youtube Info Sure Someone Will Find That Useful

Yhea This Seems To Be An issue Since v7.somthing (Probably After Pre Root Or TWRP Was added) as this function did work before, It Could Also Be Related To Having TWRP as the recovery, I will have to look into this more for v7.5, The Plan so far for v7.5 is

●Reboot To Lebrelec App Fix

●Stock Recovery & Non Root Version

●Test Magisk Working Again On New NON Root

●Safety Net Test Pass

●DSTV App Working (Hopefully)

Cant Guarantee I Can Fix It All But That's The Plan Currently

If Anyone Else Has Suggestions Im Open To Ideas
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Yhea This Is Expected, If You Press The Same Button On Remote A Few Times Then Use "dmesg" you Will see the same line a few times added on the bottom

Sounds Like The Pc Detects The Box, You Could Try Reinstalling "World Cup Device Driver" Just Reinstalling BURN Tool Can Reinstall The Driver after you have uninstalled

Thats Good To Know that Alterative works For Some People & LED Colour Means That The DTB Probably Has The Wrong Pins Assigned To The LED

Thanks mate for your brand new release, android 9 TV ROM... Which one is for nexbox A95X ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Hi there is no nexbox specific version avaikive currently just yet, it is sonthing I am going to look into though for the next update but no guarantees, this is a port of the official mi box firmware, as such the system is locked down quite a bit, makes it more difficult currently to implement changes, I release this as it brings stability & performance improvements over most other 9.0 roms, Simply because it is a google certified system, this is as close to a mi box you can get without actually buying a mi box
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] TheCitro:
Thanks for your ROM.

I have installed your ROM and a strange issue occurred. Everything seems to work, but live television seems to lag a bit. It just doesn't run smooth enough, I have a feeling some frames are skipped. As an example, it is very noticeable when a camera moves faster or lips movement during a dialogue doesn't feel natural, laggy. Later I tested if the issue appears on an other ROM and everything is fine there. I have a MXQ Pro G9CX S905X. I tried both versions - stable and alternative one for MXQ. Maybe you know how to fix that?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:

In addition my pc is no more recognizing my box when plugged using USB male-male connection. Appreciate your help to get my box detected by pc and amlogic tool or access recovery mode.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Hey in this situation you would need to use "mask rom mode" thisbis achieved usally by shorting out 2 pins on the NAND / EMMC but can be located nearby, google your device and mask rom mode and check what NAND chip.is on your device to also help figure this out :)
