Hi, i'm having trouble installing your system using an sd card (as I haven't a usb A usb A cable...). I first tried to use a burn card maker obtained from the web. The sd card was burn succesfully, but the final result was that the box refused to install it (it showed an android logo with a red x on the right). Then I tried to use another burn card maker (version 2.0.3) and it said that "uboot check after read failed" (???). I even tried to flash it from TWRP but the options to flash an img are only boot and recovery, so I had to stop. My box is a Leelbox s905x mxq pro mini. Please help me I absolutely want your rom on my crappy box...

You Might Be Out Of Options, have you Tried The Altenative Version?

I've some malfunctions with Sixaxis controller app. When starting the drivers to use the DualShock with bluetooth it doesn't always work, i have to restart the txbox, or try to terminate the app and turn off/on the bluetooth. Maybe it's the same problem related to the audio problem via bluetooth, so I hope that with 7.5 the drivers for my bluetooth module will be added ...

hi does this firmware work for the chinese language box. The white one from 2017
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
I dont think so
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] sam00561:
Actually I just want to get full English language on to the interface I don't mind leaving the Chinese software but I can't find his to do it. I got the hidden settings app to change some things to English but the whole rest of the home screen is in Chinese.

Hi

Hope someone can help me, I must be missing something, over eating or over drinking?

How do I move an app from the app draw to the main screen on Aidens v7.4? I dont see a + sign on the main screen. On a Trongle x1

Regards jb
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Hi, you can use an app called "Tv App Repo" this creates a small "Shortcut App" to launch the NON TV App from the TV launcher homescreen :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
You can use windows program called "USB Burn Card Maker" this will create an SD Card installer, I reccomend NOT using the SD Card Method as of somthing goes wrong it may need to use the USB Cabe to restore your device :)

Hi there,

I've been tinkering with this all day and am kinda lost.

I'm trying to update my S905X QMX PRO to this rom, but I keep on getting "partition verification/error result" in USB Burning Tool (so the recommended A to A USB cable method)

It seems to reach 99% and after this failed attempt I need to short the pins to get it recognized again

Could you maybe point me in a direction where to look what is going wrong?

Currently trying to get a stock Image of the box to see If that works as "check", but that rom seems hard to find😅

p.s. Also tried your Android 9.0 Rom but had even less luck with that, only getting Disk initial errors.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Hi, you've tried both the universal rom and the alternative version (android tv 7)?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] belgmeister:
I was just about to edit that i'm an idiot and didn't see you had a specific version for stubborn MXQ devices.. tried that and worked on the first try!

Edit: stuck at bootscreen. Tried the "erase all" function and reflashed the image, to no avail. Will continue tinkering and come back if something changes.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
If your device is one of these very stubborn devices then you might need to see post 286 for some roms that may help recover your device if no other roms work

Hi, can i get clear instrucations on how to install the ROM us Amlogic USB TOOL
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] belgmeister:
Thank you! 😄

The first i tried from those three (ATVX) worked immediately!

I will test the other two as well.

for science!

Edit: all three working for me. MI16 seemed to have some issues so using ATVX for now.

I'm willing to test any image you sent me, or supply you more info about the specific device to help you figure out this MXQ thing.

Of course, only if you want it.

Thanks again for the help!

Good day, I have tried your ROM on the x96 s905x box, and the flashing was successful, the box boots up and the ROM is working, but I have one issue, as soon as I disconnect the USB male to male cable used for flashing, the box light goes red and do not boot up, with the USB cable plug in the box to pc, then the box works perfectly, am I missing something?View attachment 5175321
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] jbvid:
Hi

So many leads connected, have you tried booting with just the power lead connected?

jb
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] C_Young:
I have tried that, but same thing happen

There are only 3 leads, one is HDMI to tv, one is power, and the other is the USB flashing cable, but as soon as I remove the flashing cable, the box's goes red and I can't do anything to it.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Wow thats really strange, don't think ive seen this one before, in the tool make sure that erase flash is "normal erase", and erase bootloader should be selected, also don't tick the box "reset after success" , disconnect the box once complete, THEN click stop on the software :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Jason_20:
I have installed v7.4 and it works well even on a 1Gb ram device (disabled every Google service). However, I faced a bug where after I have turned off the box using the remote power button or with the HDMI CEC function, I cannot wake up the device using either the remote power button or with the HDMI CEC from my tv. I saw that it should have been fixed in v6, has everyone faced this problem too in the latest version?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Hi, you could try the Nexbox version, that fixed the power on/standby bug for nexbox a95x and may work for your device :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Jason_20:
Thanks for your suggestion. However, it's still not working for me after flashing the nexbox a95x v7.4 version :giggle:
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
All i can suggest is if you try and find an android 7 s905x firmware that will boot and solve that power on/standby bug (Dosnt matter how it looks or anything else as we will be taking a couple of files out, you can also try other devices firmware as long as they are both s905x there is a good chance it will boot) i can transplant the files over to patch your power on issue

Hi Aidan,

on MXQ - G9X, I used 7.1 universal rom, all remote buttons work now except for Power on.

Shutdown works fine, but to startup, I have to unplug and plug back in.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Hi this is a bug with some devices, You could try the nexbox version as this was released to fix the same problem of no power on :) let me know how it goes
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Dale94555:
Hi Aidan,

I downloaded nexbox zip file and also 9.0 universal software which is .img file.

I tried install using twrp (3.2.1-0) but it gives error installing zip file ....

invalid zip file format

my box is 1G/8G

same error even if i use 7.4 universal that wa running last time.

previously I used burn card method but now due to TWRP, that does not work.

I mean this version https://mega.nz/folder/EgQznK7B#DXaqifzmqJGRihRk4XMWnQ
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Dale94555:
in TWRP, should I use it as zip file or choose install image ?

If I choose image, then TWRP prompts to choose partition to flash:

boot

recovery

logo
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Dale94555:
AIdan,

I dowloaded the img file you indicated and copied img file and also made zip file.

in TWRP, If I use it as zip file

it fails with same message - invalid zip format

if I choose install image ?

then TWRP prompts to choose partition to flash:

boot

recovery

logo

and either of them errors out - size of image is larger than target.

Can any of these firmwares be installed with TWRP ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Sorry no they are provided as .img files for use with amlogic USB Burning Tool, My Android TV 7 may install using the SD card method some people have reported success burning using an SD Card dont reccomend this and it wont work for android 9 as needs partition changes made be USB Tool
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kiki26:
Hello, Everything works fine with my computer screen but as soon as I plug the TV, it freezes during launch... anything special I should do ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Try the Alternative (MXQ) version
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kiki26:
Hi Aidan, I have tried

Special Build (Flash This if Universal Fails To Flash useful for stubborn MXQ Devices that wont take Universal) (24/Oct/2020). However when coming to selecting language, nothing work to select. Additionally I cannot manage to connect the box to my computer by USB anymore. Nor go to service mode...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
No usb device works, also can use the android tv remote app on your phone, connect using lan cable and should be able to control box

To flash you may need to figure out mask rom mode
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kiki26:
Mask rom mode? I am very new to all of it, What does it concist of ? :D
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kiki26:
Managed :D nevermind
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Dale94555:
ok, I was able to use USB Burning Tool with nexbox version.

but power on still does not work. Since system is off at that point, it must be outside of file remote.conf
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Yes it's to do with either th DTB or the Bootloader :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Of you find a amdroid 6 or 7 rom that power on and off works on I can try a fix
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kiki26:
One more comment form my side :D With the 7.4 version, I have very hard time to boot. Sometimes the booting screen freezes and sometimes it doesn't. Any meaning or fix for this? Btw I also used the Android 9 version and managed to boot with my T95x s905x 2gb/8gb but after a little while the app started to crash on launch :/ There is a possibility that my tv box is crap cause if I install official firmware I get messages that androids apps just cannot start one after each other (including google store and Sw8launcher)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
I can think of 2 possabilities, RAM speed may not run at standard speed or your EMMC or NAND may be slow type, if you can send the markings o the and chip I can maybe look into

Hello Aiden, I am trying to revive a MXQ Pro variant. I have tried many roms and v4 and the 3 roms that you mention in:

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

When flashing with the USB tool I get always an error at 7%, so I tried the Burn Card Maker way with the 3 roms,

and the Updating starts, but always gets stuck, see the picture below.

Do you maybe have an idea what is wrong? Please find below also pictures of the pcb.

Regards, I.

g'day aiden,

been trying to install the nexbox 95x rom varient on my nexbox 95x but everytime I try to boot it shows the first boot image then instantly swaps to the twrp recovery. have you experienced this issue before and is there a solution or anything else you need to know?

regards.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Do you see this behaviour on other s905x firmware's?, say ATVx Ect... and i haven't seen anyone reporting issues on nexbox version regarding being unable to boot :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Hmm strange, some mxq devices seem to be locked or something, im not sure curently why some of these devices seem so varied, MXQ devices are the most coned device on the internet so that may be a factor but currently not sure, ill look into youer board see if i an see anything
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] CL0UTM4N:
Edit:

Yeah ive tested Android 9, the Nexbox Rom, the universal rom and the alternative rom all of which don't work. I work at a company called JayCar and we sell a android tv box called Concord Media Player (we do have a website if you need to check the specs). These boxes have been getting returned regularly because netflix, disney+ and several other apps don't work on the existing firmware. I have messed around with android a fair few times so i know how to flash roms, so I booted into recovery and worked out that the actual hardware is a Nexbox a95x and started looking for a rom to flash on one of the returned products, this ofc failed. I actually have two here at the moment because I brought another returned product home from work, it again gave me the same error were it shows the first boot image "Android TV Aiden's Custom Rom" Then it swaps back to twrp this happens even when I try to make it reboot back to the system.

Seeing as I have two of these boxes I'd be more then happy to send a box over to your place if you want to do some testing but theoretically the Nexbox rom should have worked if the system I got.

Thanks in advance, as soon as we can fix this I can fix all our android tv's haha

Edit 2: Alternative MXQ works but wifi and remote (to be expected) does not work and graphics are a bit blurry

Edit 3: Netflix also gives errors when trying to load something through lan.

Hi,

I have a TX3 Mini A 2+16G(8723) the SOC says its a S905 Series The device as per HWMONITOR is a p281. At the present time I have TX3 mini-20181210.img loaded but it does freeze sometimes. The rom board is a Spectek MLC NAND Flash. Do you thnk that your S905W img will work on this?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Hey awesome at least you got one to boot :) are you using the mobile netflix app? the TV version wont work without licences :)

if you have a spare box and willing to post that would be greatly appreciated, makes it easier to try and fix bugs, even attempt to boot atv9, its strange the nexbox version wont install on the nexbox hardware underneath

Netflix, this may be a limit in the mobile app, it may detect no wifi or block ethernet, could try an older version or look for a patched version if one is available

The UI is slightly fuzzy due to the DTB being coded to draw the UI at 720p :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
an app like tasker?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
P281 Yes BUT The MLC NAND makes me unsure though
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] CL0UTM4N:
Sweet thanks mate, I downloaded the Aptoide version of Netflix, not sure if that's the mobile version I will try a few other versions. I'd also be more then happy to send one up also play store doesn't let us sign in to download apps but that's fine I think our customers would be fine with using Aptoide. How would you like me to send one up to you?

Edit: I can test builds if you would like instead of sending it up but up to you.

Hi Aidan,

I've installed your ROM (both 7.4 and 9) on Yoka Kb1 and it is working great. Congratulations :-)

I have one question to you or to anyone that can answer...

For a while I cannot start WiFi on my device, no matter what ROM I use (original or custom). I can enter in WiFi setup, the WiFi Button shows OFF. I click on it and it becomes ON, but no WiFi is found. If I exit the screen and enter back, the WiFi Button shows OFF again :-( MAC reported is 02:00:00:00:00.

Taking into consideration this I want to use an USB WiFi dongle. Is it possible ? What steps I should do ? If I am not wrong I have with me a RTL 8192SU adapter.

Regards,

Alex
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
its much easier if i had aa device, if i wasn't learning as i go and had some idea why your device wont boot any of the other roms than that would be a more doable situation, but with not knowing where to start, and with uploading a rom taking 1.5 to 2 hours and brings my download down to a crawl just not a quick workflow, just send me a PM if you are keen, if not no worries :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
This will probaby not work, i have 5 USB wifi dongles (3 Realtek & Others) and non work, there are 2 or 3 chips i think may be compatible but i havent been able to try them and its a 30% chance they might work
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] billyfreeman:
Yeah, it doesn't work, keep getting disk initial error.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Powerline Ethernet Adapters May be A Good option

Hello, I am building a custom Android TV (7.1.2) ROM for:

Tinker Board｜AIoT & Industrial Solution｜ASUS USA

www.asus.com

I was curious if you could provide feedback or responses to the following?

Was the background for the LeanbackLauncher modified from source code, or did you unpack and recompile a prebuilt apk? I would like to replace the default background for LeanbackLauncher for my own ROM.

Did you run into video playback issues or random crashes when using any remote (with or without voice control)? I am testing a release candidate and captured a logcat via adb but can't tell what is causing this issue. Using a keyboard and mouse (wired/wireless) causes no playback freezing, hanging or crashing.

Can you provide feedback on how you fixed the item in BOLD text below?

Items #2 and #3 are all that's preventing me from posting a first release of this image for Tinker Board and Tinker Boards S owners.

Any advice is appreciated.

Regards.
