Hi @SlimHouse and team: I have one of these S905X4 boxes X94 X4, 4/32 1Gb LAN.

https://www.amazon.com/Android-TV-Box-Amlogic-Dual-WiFi/dp/B09KC3TDYP/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=s905x4+android+tv+box&qid=1659655820&sprefix=S905x4%2Caps%2C283&sr=8-7

I would like to know if someone has tested slimbox Fw on this device. factory FW is really limited and have issues playing Dolby content ( not passthru via my TV to AV nor direct SPDIF to AV receiver) Actually OS does not show or report Digital audio capabilities at all.

Any guidance is appreciated

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Hotrod369:
Slimbox doesn't have a custom ROM listed for that box. All they have for download is the official firmware. If you try to load the X96 max that is made for an S905X3 CPU you're going to brick it. The box you gave the link to has the S905X4 in it. Here's a link to the Slimbox page for this box.

Hi to edit rom where are the audio control(hdmi,spdif etc) files located? Thanks
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] iagv:
Thanks for reply and advice. I noted not custom one, but wanted to check due scope at beginning of thread.

Any idea on how to enable these audio controls? I know that running Coreelect actually the box does passthru, so it seems more a SW/FW issue that a HW limitation.

Will continue to be tune for other custom FW. Thanks all.

You could try turning off Dolby and using the Viper4Android apk.

Hey man thanks for the heads up

works great, i flashed it on my H96 Pro Plus CZ-S32-v2.2 (DDR3, 3GB/32GB), Kodi audio passthrough works perfectly for my Vizio sb36512-F6 (even Dolby TrueHD works!).

Slimbox has more settings to tweak than Aidan's V9 rom and the audio passthrough isn't working in V9. IR remote works too.

using the default installed, Smartube though cannot log in to my account? any fix?

Just installed latest slimbox vontar X4 asop v 16.3.4 on my HK1 RBOX X4 with 1000MB Ethernet. Seems to run a lot better than initial 2 versions. I will stick with it and see how it goes. That said I only use my boxes for IPTV streaming so be good if someone else gave it a proper workout and post some feed back.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] raruba:
Well I have a transpeed x4 so I might give the 16.3.4 a try on it, but I must tell you 16.3.3 wasn't very good at all.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] raruba:
IS anyone having issues with the x88 King firmware, my 15.2 is working great but tried 15.3 and having all kinds of issues.

Also having some of the same issues with BeeLink GT king 15.3.

Hello to all,

I need a litle help. I have "Mecool km9 pro" 2/16Gb android box with ir remote. This is the only remote controller I have. I do not have bluetooth remote. I never have. When I flash Rom for my box,

from 4pda forum, after boot logo and android animation, next screen is for pairing bluetooth remote. On screen message is to press two buttons simultaniosly on my bluetooth remote to pairing remote and box. Since I do not have

such a remote, this is step I can not pass. Is there solution for my problem, or is there another rom compatible with Mecool KM9pro and My IR remote controller. Someone mention to pair my android phone as remote,

which I tried without success. Pairing is impossible becouse I can t enter pin. I can not enter any pin.

Please advise

Latest now 16.4 - I just installed the aosp version using burning tool 3.1. Finally adaway apk working using root blocking cos magisk installed on 16.4. Thats a good start for me.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Hotrod369:
If the factory remote doesn't work after you flashed a ROM to you box you most likely used the wrong ROM. Here is the correct ROM for your box if it has the S905X2 CPU. You'll also find the original firmware on this page. You'll need to use a translator.

Like what? . I use my boxes for showing IPTV streaming . The apks I need install from playstore and work. Volume works. Adaway now works. Few third party IPTV apks I use work. Suggest best install try it see if it meets your personal requirements. KODI I never use - same Gallery and Youtube so cant comment but I will be buying a few more HK1 X4 as 16.4 on the face of it meets my needs for my sportbar. I will replace the HK1 X3s with them. I like the fast bootup - useful if you have lot people watching a game and need reboot

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Hotrod369:
This is the Slimbox and other ROMS for your box all of which should get your remote and wifi working again. Each choice will let you download ATV or PIE. I would use ATV. It's a Russian site so you'll need a translator. Just scroll down to the Plus 2 and you'll see the download options.

If that didn't brick it you are lucky. I've never had a failed flash part way in not brick a box. But if it does brick it's easy enough to unbrick these boxes. If you knew what remote.conf file it needs I've found a pretty decent remote.conf repo on Telegram.

From images posted looks like you have

Should be similar/ same as one of the x96Air files???

Remote not working is common

What do you mean by screen does not work?

No display from HDMI out?

Maybe test av port with an composite cable and older TV.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gjwa yzma:
Okay have read/viewed all post

No FrontDisplay/LED /clock

you will not have.

As well as remote control compatible

These are 2 most common issues.

These functions are mapped to T527 Vendor...

Slimbox does not have that China Box to Port/Test

So we test a file that is closest in Hardware to the T527..

Ethernet

Wifi

Blutooth

No front display is not that bad.

I prefer it that way.

I use K400 plus keyboard to navigate China Box

Also turn on CeC in settings maybe your TV remote will work it often does.

Or use air mouse or other to navigate

Good luck

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] sarigol45:
The display of the device should not work, I want to operate the original remote control in the current slimbox atv or pie software
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gjwa yzma:
Okay that is alot of extra work.

This is why I use K 400plus or / other

Then iam up n running/testing right away.

Maybe follow mAtvXk suggestions.

Extract from working 12.2 n replace.

Also if you are familiar with Coreelec

There is repositories for remote control

Amlogic remote.conf

Or maybe is Meson IR

You will need KEYMAP file

rc_maps.cfg etc.

Credit to Betatester

More good luck

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mAtvXk:
You are doing something wrong, buy air mouse as was suggested, or even better X96 Max plus remote controller from AliXpress, as you have already tested almost all SBX firmwares for this device.

Any particular reason that you don't use SBX 12.2 ported firmware if everything works ?

I did bricked my box once, but I was able to reflash ROM i mentioned earlier. This rom worked, I got logo, android animation, but before everything, before letting me to set wifi, there is message (and picture) on the screen guiding me to setup bluetooth remote. As I mentionrd before I dont have bluetooth remote, only Infra Red. And this is dead end for settning box. I tried several Roms, few of them partialy worked (wifi did not work, bluetooth, and remote, IR remote) after attaching USB keyboard, I was able to install some apk, but that is it. It is obviesly that is not rom for my Mecool KM9 pro 2Gb/16Gb box. If you have some other rom, or some advice what to do it is highly appreciable

Can someone help with TWRP and Magisk ? Maybe step by step instructions on how to install TWRP and magisk permanently.

My device is A95X F3 with minislimtv version: 028.2. I can run twrp from this guide

Instruction :

1. Download TWRP .

2. Copy to SD card or flash drive.

3. We go into the stock recovery.

4. We move to the item " Apple update from EXT "

5. Then to " Update from sdcard or Update from udisk " depending on the location of the downloaded TWRP .

6. Find the downloaded TWRP and select it.

How can I make it permanent to boot twrp recovery or is it not possible ?

Also how can I install magisk so I can use it to hide some apps ? I tried to patch the boot image from twrp and patch it from magisk but nothing happened. It does not work

Do not put a check mark ✔ on the erase flash option.

As stated by the Dev( and personal experience)... Android 9(?) or this firmware in particular is prone to micro errors and performance instability if you dirty flash.

Backups from Titanium Backup or Alpha Backup Pro are not guaranteed 100%. Possibly(?) from Split Apk Instalation(SAI) format from Google. :unsure:
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] vassiliszacharis:
So clean flash is highly recommended as I understand
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] sesdave:
Its guaranteed wheras a dirty flash can be hit and miss re full functionality as I found out lol Tick in both boxes - erase flash and bootloader which is the default. Just means a bit more work reinstalling what you have on the box.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
Always clean flash. So you will be sure that any problems are not due to the "dirty" flash. The extra time you will spend to install everything from scratch will probably save you from spending even more time to "debug" possible glitches and other peculiar responses from your TVbox......
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] techdimi:
Edit:

I see lol! I got used to install twrp on smartphones I did not know that was the case with the tv box. Good to know :p

Anyway I tried to make a back up of my boot from twrp and flash magisk but it did not work...

Hehe I just to not want to brick or stay on a loop. I tried the suggested methods on this thread but none of them worked...I do not want to take risks

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Reaper Man:
Call a Sat hobby/computer shop that is familiar with Android boxes. Ask for firmware flash price for your China Box. Some charge- $20 upwards to $80. Before you bring, download desired firmeware to usb for them. Do a factory reset to clean your box of private data (important! :oops:).
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tombraga:
As i have 7 different boxes, it would take too much time to make clean Flash. I do always dirty Flash, never got Problems. All the boxes are working fantastic with this great rom.

And by the way, clean Flash don't mean, that you get no bugs or problems, if the new Version has some problems in the code. As it happens with me with the 15.4 Version. I went back to 15.3
