A relative recently gave me his old Buzz TV XPL 3000 to play around with since I never got into these boxes before. So I did some fiddling around and I realized why he stopped using it years ago. There is a problem with Android 7.1.2 crashing and freezing. Lots of complaints posted because of it. I've experienced too. It works ok with Tivitmate and I recently loaded an apk upgrade for Buzz TV 2 which wasn't upgraded through the upgrade portal. I have a new Buzz TV for my main TV so it's just to play around with.

I had rooted my Samsung phone for many years using the ROM and tools on this forum so I searched to see if there was a ROM created for this IPTV box. Unfortunately, a lot of the links are broken and I am not even sure where are the files for this box. Is it even worth it to upgrade this device now? I'm sure it can't be any worse than the original stock.

Thanks in advance.

Trying to flash custom ROM to my Buzz TV XPL 3000...

Hi all, I'm in a complete head spin so I'm hoping someone here could shed some light on an issue I'm facing. As the title says, I currently have a Buzz TV XPL 3000 android box. I'm trying to flash "Aidan's Android TV Custom Rom" onto it. But no...

xdaforums.com
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] DaVinci21:
Thx. One question I have which is important to me; which file to install? The link to Aidan's website lists 8 chipsets, all saying they support various devices. I haven't seen any list (like with my Samsund smartphone) which lists what device(s) (based on chipset) each rom is for. Do I need to open the Buzz XPL 3000 to check the chipset or is one rom for all chipsets of this model?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mAtvXk:
The most accurate way to determine hardware in your android box, or using Device Info HW app.

@DaVinci21, S905X
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] DaVinci21:
Many thanks mAtvXk
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] DaVinci21:
So I have been having problems with USB Burning Tool recognizing the box. I went to "Aidan's ROM help" on telegram to get help. Instead of help with recognizing this device, I was told that the chipset isn't supported even though the box is listed. Anyway, if this is not true, how do I get the device recognized?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mAtvXk:
Not true, your box is supported (S905X chipset)...

Describe your flashing procedure in detail !?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] DaVinci21:
I am using V.2.2.0. I have a male-to-male cable. I've pressed the reset button on the bottom just before plugging in the power. But, then I realize that the device has to be connected to a tv to navigate through the start up menu. The options are just to do a hard reset, wipe out the cache partition or install updates through EXT or Data.

If I plug in the usb cable the device boots up using the power of the PC.

USB Burning Tool does not connect to the device. Actually, the account at the telegram channel realized he was wrong and provided a few options. The one I think may have to be done is the MASK MODE. Which I wouldn't even know which chip to touch on the board to get it to be recognized and connected.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mAtvXk:
Nothing should be connected to the device, hold the reset button pressed and attach usb cable while burning tool (preferable v2.1.7.3), make multiple attempts and reset computer in between tries.

Which OS are you running, try on different computer !? Have you any other android tv box to test ?

Post hires photos of both sides of the board.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] DaVinci21:
One thing to clarify, there is no v2.1.3.7. There is v2.1.3 or v2.1.7.3
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mAtvXk:
C'mon, it was a typo.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] DaVinci21:
Hey, I want to be sure.:)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] DaVinci21:
Using Windows 10 laptop. Yes I tried on a Windows 10 mini laptop/tablet.

The only other old box I have is a MI BOX4 (Android TV). I have new Buzz XR4500. This is owned by someone else and It's always in use.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] DaVinci21:
I'll post the up side of the board first since this is the same side Aidan uses in his video for MASK mode.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] DaVinci21:
Ok. success. I connected it again to my Mini HP laptop and it is connected. I used v2.2.0 on that pc.

I was told that this is the rom with the remote patch. https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=333093
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mAtvXk:
It contains remote files for MyGica boxes, maybe they apply to the Buzz XPL 3000 box also. 🤷‍♀️

Before any flashing attetempts backup system/etc/remote.conf file from stock firmware.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] DaVinci21:
well, I didn't back up the system because there was no way to back up this device. It's not like the newer boxes that have that option.

The flash went ok. The system loaded and the remote patch seems to be in the rom. But, it's not fully functional. The most important button missing is the back button.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] DaVinci21:
After doing a little more research, I realize what you meant by backing up the remote.conf file. For those that may come here in the future, the file is not accessible without super user access. Then you can access the system/etc folder. Good thing that the config file can be added to the image and then burned to the device since you can't navigate at the initial setup stage without a working remote.

After testing Aidan's ROM, I find that he did a great job and reviving this and many other devices.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Pierssy:
Thank you so much, I Have a TX95 2/16gb that got locked into a boot freeze, and the reset button did nothing. I downloaded this firmware and flashed it from my laptop, and it went great, no issues I am aware of. Brilliant!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] comm-ents:
I have been trying to find a way to actually root a X96 Max device, but it doesn't seem to be possible. I boot into TWRP recovery and flash Magisk but that doesn't actually work and there doesn't seem to be any valid process to root an Android TV Box. Anyone have any insight a working method to root any Android TV box?

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Ok I think that's enough info to sort your keys out, with the YouTube and netflix buttons I will re assign them, I might have to use them for somting else, I will get this made for you tonight
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] GeXeH:
Just want to say thank you very much for your time and effort to release this. You brought life back to my 1GB/8GB X96 box!

What's your future plans for this ROM?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kadorna1:
you are the best, man. thanks so much
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
ok here try this the netflix button will now open google voice search, :)

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TO2cSGfmz4agSx_hFRllJijM1fzs8Yv0/view?usp=sharing
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kadorna1:
Just tried it, netflix button does nothing (i don't really care about it tbh) and right button doesn't work either, everything else works like a charm, except that pesky thing about not being able to wake the box up once you suspend it. If you suspend and then wake up in less than 2 seconds it does work but if you take longer you need to disconnect the power to wake it up
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Cool I'll fire fixes in tonight :), as for the power on bug, you would need to find a rom that dont show this bug so I can copy 3 files from that rom :)

Also i need the right button code (now its not moving the mouse it should give a DMESG code now and that should be it complete :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kadorna1:
Scancode for right button is 0x000e
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
ok this should be it now https://drive.google.com/file/d/17ffkm2pxMHE-tHQm0KUUw4LoUATTX4gn/view?usp=sharing
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kadorna1:
hell yeah brother! works perfectly now, thanks a lot dude. Now I'll be able to test different roms and see which one (if any) has the wake up bug fixed and i'll report back. Thanks again!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
No worries lad, food luck rom hunting, "pokeroms gotta catch them all" hahahaha
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] GeXeH:
Just noticed an issue with the Leanback Keyboard. Try this and see what you get please Aidan.

Open an app where you can type (that uses the Leanback Keyboard not an app built-in one like YouTube), then try and type;

"google.co.uk" - when you press the period symbol it changes the input to "google. co. uk" - adds a space after every period symbol even though I haven't pressed space.

I've downloaded LeanKey Keyboard and don't have this issue anymore so it's fine, but maybe a bug with the keyboard version you are using with this ROM? Aside from that everything else has been solid!

Ever thought about adding a little overclock to squeeze a little more performance out of the S905X?

Also any word on Android 8, 9 or 10 ROM for this chipset?

Again, much appreciated for your time and effort.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
hi thanks, i tried typing google. into smart YouTube tv and i never saw it autocomplete, there is a new update coming today so try that

I considered it but since this is universal and there is so much variance in devices (Heatsinks ect...) so peoples boxes don't overheat i left it up to the user to root and overclock if they choose

I am currently learning android 9, it needs new linux tools i have to learn and there are major changes in 9 vs 7.1, its somthing i am planning, then 10 will probably be possible soon after
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Krizvi72:
Glad you used the Boot Animation, hoping more devs would include it in their builds ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] GeXeH:
It's not an issue about the keyboard as I'm using LeanKey.

Yeah that's a good point about the heatsinks.

Sounds good about Android 9, look forward to it. I see you've released an update, what's the best way to flash it without losing my data/config/settings etc?

Thanks again mate.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Yhea awesome extract, thanks for sharing :D
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Honestly couldn't tell you it's probably going to need a fresh install, I can only make usb burn images or SD flash zip files, not sure how to make an OTA type upgrade or run a upgrade server
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] GeXeH:
Attempting a fresh install now will let you know how I get on!

Update: Works with no issues on X96 1GB/8GB. Thanks!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
No worries happy days :D
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] filkint:
Is it possible for the firmware to use Burn_Card_Maker
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Currently no but I could try create a SD flashable zip if you need it
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] boyriot:
can I flash this rom to zte b860h?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] filkint:
This would be great, I have a problem with win os (missing at all).

P.S. Can I find out why I can't use Burn_Card_Maker, stok firmware is being flashed?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] renoy:
Can u install and play netflix in this rom?

Amigo felicidades lo instale en mi s905x amlogic T95N mini M8Spro y me fue de lujo tuve el problema al principio con el botón de reinicio pero no era así lo solucione con un vídeo de España tenía que darle energía con el adaptador original habiendo conectado ya a la una en el PC para hacer el flasheo y me lo reconoció de una quedó Full mi caja de 2 ram y 8 de Rom contento con todo gracias mil gracias a la espera de Android 9 o 8 pronto donaré algunas monedas te agradezco desde cali colombia :):):):):)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Will try upload tonight :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
You need to use the mobile apk of Netflix , the tv version of Netflix wont work on any uncertified android tv device, it's the same with any custom roms
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
:D :D
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
If its s905x then 95% yes, cant say for sure
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] DooMMeeR:
I have a super old Mecool M8S Pro+ will it work? including the remote?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Yes it should, remote should work, If not can help you sort it :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] toplez:
I finished installing your ROM, but freeze on animation boot logo
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
It takes more than 5 mins 1st time on boot animation, leave it for 10 mins, after the first boot it will start alot faster 1st time its just finishing the installation

remote.conf problem

hi, i am having the same problem with remote.conf, my question is where to put it, because when replacing it in / etc it keeps telling me wrong custom code and the code is the same as in this case 9f00
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
​

Can you upload your remote.conf and a picture of the wrong custom code part in terminal plz
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] toplez:
waiting for 2 hours still freeze
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] DaniDiammond:
thanks for answering, use the same remote.conf that you published for [MENTION=6582568]kadorna1[/MENTION] in post #89 earlier, because I saw that the factory_code was the same as my remote control (it is the same box with the same remote),it doesn't let me put the link of the remote.conf because I'm new but it leaves you a screenshot of the factory_code, maybe I must be doing something wrong hopefully you can see my error

[IMG="code"]https://iili.io/d2eane.png[/IMG] [IMG="code2"]https://iili.io/d2e1Fj.png[/IMG]
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
unfortunately i dont have a solution fo this just yet, you will have to try other firmware an let me know what works and can take it from thee and try figure out whats happening
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
is this by any chance a Xview remote because i made a remote.conf for someone already with that same factory code over a week ago, just looking at the filkes i have i actually have 2 one i made and one that was sent so try them both https://cntr.click/5xaY0Z4
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
seems you can create a flash sd card with this img file this was my mistake whayt i need to create is a recovery flashable zip
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] toplez:
hi thx for reply, im just saw your post on reddit and try flashing my dongle s905x, atvxperience s905w working smooth with my device
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
So that indicates you have a s905w device NOT a s905x device I intend to release a s905w version when I can get a test device
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] DaniDiammond:
Thanks for the help, I can make work the remote with the included mouse function, I leave you the flashable .zip (TWRP) in case someone has the same problem

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1glj5v3gCmImWnFxKcFkdLxfMkPsoenPx/view?usp=sharing
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Thanks for sharing I will add it to my collection
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] filkint:
Hi, aidanmacgregor

Will there be a .zip firmware?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
TWRP flahable zip?, I tried to create one but the software crashes creating a flashable zip, I'm not home for couple of days but will take a look again you can install the img using an sd card using the amlogic SD burn card tool
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] filkint:
This would be very good, but even better for the original recovery, not everyone has a normally working TWRP.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
I will look into this, booting TWRP can be done from an SD card without modifying the internal recovery, I'm not sure if there are limitations to this method though but I will look into
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] hwweiler:
I've tried it all, all versions of USB Burning too, SDCARD, everything fails. I'm certain I have the cheapest clone on the market. Is there a down link of the mentioned edited rom?

Much appreciated. Still same error.

This is the only image I've managed to flash. Maybe it can give you some clue..

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
The name of the ROM says it all, your box is S905W NOT S905X, ibplan on porting to s905w at some point but I dontbhave a timeline as I'm still learning and I dont have a s905w to test on
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] hwweiler:
heh, that's on oversight on my part. I've had tunnel vision on that error. In my defense I get that same error for roms made for the 905w device.

I'd send you one as I have two, but at this point it's just not worth the trouble as I'd like to get something that comes with android 9 with high probability to get 10 through OTA or some community.

Cheers.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
No problem the whole android thing is a learning curve, made the same mistakes myself before :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] filkint:
Hi, aidanmacgregor.

Through Burn Card Maker, the original firmware is flashed without problems, but unfortunately your firmware is not.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Hi what device do you have and what SOC? Download an app like hw monitor to find out as the packaging is sometimes labelled wrong

A couple things for me is built in miracast app doesent work for me and can't disable from UI. I am currently using Air Screen for casting and it is working well. Another thing I would like to see added to the Oreo update is option to dual boot to coreelec similar to Mininix firmware.
