Sorry Guys, new to this forum. After reading all 50 pages of posts here. I am still confused as to which firmware should I use. I think I got a X96 Max Plus 2 (bought in Dec 2019) with 1G LAN, 4/64 BT4.0 Dual band Wifi.

Could someone please advise with of the following should I use(from https://slimboxtv.ru):

Download ATV or PIE for revision with 4 Gb RAM

Download ATV or PIE for revision with 2 Gb RAM

Download ATV or PIE for revision 100 - TEST

Download ATV or PIE for revision Q1 - TEST

Download ATV or PIE for revision Q2 - TEST

I read somewhere saying that the X96 Max Plus (without "2") doesn't have BT and doesn't know the first file is for Plus or Plus 2.

In case none of above is suitable, please advise where to download the right one

Thanks.

I have the same box and I use this one, works good. I like the pie version myself

Download ATV or PIE for revision with 4 Gb RAM
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] maxilogic:
Thanks. I just installed it - everything is working

Cool, glad to hear that

As to the white borders, my hunch is that is has todo with resolution or frame rate change and AFR detection.

The radish or green tint is a tv incompatibility with the high color space, change it to RGB instead of Y’CbCr .

for those still thinking of benefits of s922 X88 King, i am running latest 10.7 and WOW! Finally the PPSSPP emulator works perfectly !

Getting 30-60 FPS on most games, and really nice to play unlike on S905x3 !

The only issue I have : using usb port for airmouse and wireless gamepad works, but it does not mount ANY usb drive neither FAT/NTFS/EXT3 .. anyone has a solution? mounting external USB to copy games would be much nicer .. for now using SMB to copy, at least 128GB of storage is plenty enough for all the games :)

If there is a firmware for the minix u9h 9h pie ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Vandetta187:
I have this same issue. I use nothing but the A95X F3 AIR boxes but this latest version 10.7 has issues. I realized I am suppose to use the realtek version, but I still have wifi issues. I believe 10.6 has no issues. Is there any way to get that version?

I also bricked my old M8S Pro L- forgot to uncheck erase bootloader. Tried pin shorting but no luck.

Mainly want to get my A95X F3 Air back up and running with the old 10.6 version though. The password.bin does not work with sbx_a95x_f3_RTK_atv_v10_7.img or sbx_a95x_f3_RTK_pie_v10_7.img when trying to flash them with USB Burning tool. I had to revert back to stock because I didn't keep a backup of 10.6

Hello everyone! I have x96 max plus 2 and I installed slimbox 10.5 pie. It is a wonderful rom, which I transform from such a rustic box into a luxury box! But from that moment on, I could never mount my external hdd drive again ... What could have happened? Did the same thing happen to someone? Thank you very much and greetings!

Can somebody help me to find a firmware pie for my s912 minix neo u9h with USB working I know I'm in the right spot I appreciate it I've been looking everywhere nobody can help me but I know somebody here Will
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Vandetta187:
I've been searching around for the 10.6 files. The new 10.7 files- specifically the ones for realtek A95X F3 AIR don't work. The previous 10.6 ones did and I can't find the backup I downloaded a while back. Anyone know of an archive for these files?

Also thanks slimhouse for all your hard work!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] awibabau:
v11 is out!!!!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Vandetta187:
This one has the same issues.

The sbx_a95x_f3_RTK_atv_v11.img can not be flashed with usb burning tool. There is something wrong with the password.bin

Wish I kept the 10.6 files. As other users have reported, this version suffers from wifi/bluetooth issues.

hello, I've installed slimbox V11 on YOKA TV KB2 non pro S912 (which has the same specs MECOOL BB2 S912) the problem I have is the smart tube next app has no picture only sound, wiped data on the app but joy, next I tried taking the screen resolution down to 720p (TV is a Samsung 1080p 60htz) in the end I took it down to 24 htz but that didn't work (even with the reboots) then I did a factory reset but that didn't work. I then changed the HDMI cable and used a different HDMI port but again no help. in the end I rolled back to V10.6 and the picture for smart tube came back(previous versions of slimbox for MECOOL BB2 worked as well) did anyone else have this problem and fixed it? thanks.

Just one thing on my tv LG42lk430 CEC dont work as its should. When i hit 'ok' button on remote TV box execute 'up +ok'. Is it possibile to edit cec setings?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Vandetta187:
Thank you sir. 10.6 is the last version to work on the A95X F3 AIR. I just loaded it back on using the RTK version provided and both my wifi & BT are working.

Thanks again!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tombraga:
Tried my X96 Max+ (2plus with 4 GB) to update from 10.6 to 11 - unchecking the erase flash to keep my datas - but with usb burning tool comes the bootloader error message at beginning.

also sc card dont work, install logo comes shortly but install process dont start.

it´s really a pitty to have a so good rom and not possible to make internal update with zip-file while keeping all the datas....please @slimbox make the real, so the rom will be really the best...thanks a lot

disabled now erase flash and also erase bootloader and i could install with sd card.

But now, the display resolution don´t match any more, all too big, what happened?

And in settings-info there is shown ATV ver11 - but in downloaded the pie version and installed the pie...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] sam tyler:
Thanks for the reply, I'd installed it again and still had the same issue. I've posted on the apks' GitHub thread to see if anyone else has had the same problem.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] sam tyler:
Further to problem with V11, it's not just the smart tube next APK, it seems all video players i.e. Mx player pro, Kodi and streaming apks' only have sound and no picture. using MECOOL BB2 slimbox ROM on YOKA TV KB2 v10.6 works fine (as with previous versions)

Any solution for s912 minix neo u9h firmware pie with USB working ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] shados78:
Version 11 seems to fix 10.7 bugs. HDMI-CEC finally works fine, so does the audio control on the external device. Unfortunately, the buttons on the remote still can't be re-remap - before 10.7 it worked fine. For this reason, I am going back to 10.6.1 - usability more important than new options. /x96 max plus2/
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] shados78:
Like in previous versions (I using only ATV) you must go to settings > screen > screen position and set width and height. (that resolve problems with margins) or go to android settings (extra settings) and change UI resolution to e.g. 266 dpi

how to update slimbox rom from 10.7 to 11?

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] satirikon1:
Hello.

I have the x96max 2plus 4-36, and it runs this firmware, specifically the ATV 10.7.

I recently purchased a VPN (NordVpn) and when running, either over Wi-Fi or over ethernet, I only get 20 or 30% of the download speed I get without running the VPN.

Using the proprietary software I have tried all possible modifications (protocols, servers ... etc) without improving performance.

I would like to know if someone with this VPN provider (or another) and this firmware (or another) has had the same problem and if they have obtained a solution.

Thank

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] rolo2020:
Hi Shados! Excuse me for bothering you with a query ... I have the same box as you. Since I installed slimbox 10.5, it does not allow me to mount my external hard drive by usb (the pendrive still takes them without problems) Has this happened to you too? It's a real shame, since the rom is fantastic! But I don't know what I can do to mount my external hdd drive again. Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience!

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Rainey222:
That should not be happening, does your VPN work high speed on other devices or pcs.

I run a VPN but it's pia. And I get the full 100 megabit speed even with the VPN. In the newer rom versions 10 and above has fixed the problem where upon reboot the VPN wouldn't connect you had to manually connect sometimes. Or it would crash with kodi rarely and not be connected but internet would still work even with kill switch enabled, but that don't seem to be a problem anymore either the VPN software fixed it or settings in the new version of ROMs fixed it.

11.1 is out. I think slimbox should sincerely consider in providing their updates via "OTA update" or something similar inside the android eco-system without the need of brute force installation, given their updates are regular!!!

Anyway nice job ;)

+1 yes maybe later....

Wich method ? SD or UBT ?

I cannot get it recognized by UBT...

Thanks in advance !
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] satirikon1:
In the end I have updated to v.11 through the UTB tool, unchecking the "erase flash" box, it has kept the previous configuration, but the result in terms of the VPN performance is the same.

The next step will be a clean flashing, if I do not get results, I will install a rom from another developer, in case my luck changes.

In any case, if I get a positive result I will report it here.

Greetings.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] sam tyler:
I used UBT to install, install the firmware on UBT program,next you need to put a pin the reset hole(you should hear a click as you press inside the reset hole, THEN put the USB cable into USB port nearest the back of the box (make sure other end of the USB cable is already connected the your computer etc) the UBT program should then say connect success, and press the start icon/button. once you have installed the ROM and started the box, you may find videos plays but only sound can be heard, to fix this you need to go into Device Preferences, Display, Automatic frequency control, and tap on Noise Reduction and video picture should be restored. I saw this little tip on 4PDA, good luck.

hi is posible to auto start wolf launcher with power on? I can`t, with slimbox 10.7 atv.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] satirikon1:
I suppose that the way to do it varies depending on the hardware where you use the UBT tool.

In my case, I use a laptop with windows 10, and for UBT to recognize the tv-box, the amlogic drivers have to be installed correctly.

Windows 10 won't let you install unsigned drivers, and in order to do so you have to remove this ability.

Run the "CMD" command as administrator to go to the system32 command line.

Type: "bcdedit / set testsigning on" and validate, reboot, install the amlogic drivers and reboot.

Execute UTB, load the firmware to be flashed into the program, once loaded press "STAR", (UTB is waiting to receive connection), then insert one end of the usb cable into the usb 3.0 port (blue) of the tv-box , and the other to any port of the PC. UTB recognizes me and flashes without pressing the reset button on the tv-box.

Then if you want to enable signature verification, through "CMD", you must write

"bcdedit / set testsigning of"

Download links to Slimbox firmware, TWRP and amlogic UBT and UBM tools are there as well.

What device do you want the img files for. I can download it and send it to you by Sprend.com (I do not think more unofficial download links are good for anyone).

First thanks for the nice work creating the Slimbox firmware (SB11.1)

A note about my installation process (as info to some earlier posts)

Successfully installed Slimbox 11.1 ATV on "Yoka KB2 PRO" using amlogic USB Burning Tool v2.2.0. Forced to use UBT, since I had bricked the box during an earlier SD card install attempt (power failure). I also had to open up the box and press the NAND switch inside during the UBT flashing in order to not receive "switch" error (only needed to do that during first flashing after the bricking).

Next I want to describe what I think is a bug in the WIFI code in SB11.1 ATV for "Yoka KB2 PRO"

Since the 11.1 ATV is an initial install on my Yoka box, I do not know if the problem existed in the SB11.0 firmware or any other previous versions.

2.4 GHz radio

SB11.1ATV has as no point found/shown any 2.4GHz networks to me. I think the 2.4GHz radio is either completely switched off or otherwise completely dysfunctional in the build. My 2.4GHz network is at channel 9 with narrow 20MHz channel width, but there are many other 2.4GHz networks in the apartment building where I live, so it really should be able to find something.

5GHz radio

Initially I could only find a very few "foreign" 5GHz WIFI networks (2 on channel 42 and 1 on channel 106). My own 5GHz network was set to channel 136 with wide 40MHz channel width and was neither found nor connectable (also after manually keying in the SSID and the password in SB11.1).

After I reconfigured my router to use channel 48 it finds my 5GHz network and is able to connect to it. Both narrow (20MHz) and wide (40MHz) channel width works on channel 48, so I think this has to do with the channel change to 48 (and not the width change). Channel 36 also works btw.

However, channel 136 should be a completely valid 5GHz channel in most parts of the world (as far as I can see on lists of WLAN channels). I know that channels 149, 153, 157 and 161 are more universally approved/used in the upper range, but why restrict 136? I do not know whether this is a problem or a "feature" in SB11.1, but I can as well report this.

WIFI country code is set to "Default" in SB11.1 during the above findings (not CN or US).

Note: I also installed the SB11.1 PIE build flavour on the box - this build also do not have a working WLAN/WIFI implementation - findings are the same as for the ATV build.

Hi i have same problem on my lg un71003 my box is ax95db fw slimbox 11.1 atv
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] VonStein45:
Hi,

I used the amlogic UBT v2.20 tool downloaded from here: http://uploaded.net/file/5vy2hbac

Install it and install the driver (included in the install package as a 2nd chained installer).

If you already have the necessary A-A USB cable you can skip the next section:

Make a A-A USB cable out of 2 broken USB cables

HOWTO: Connect the cable-shields and wires black (GND), white and green (2xdata) pair-wise with a soldering iron or whatever you have (isolate with heat shrink tube or electrical tape and keep the wire pigtails as short as possible in order to not disturb the cable impedance more than absolutely necessary). One of my broken cables did not have a black, but instead a thin extra unshielded wire. In order to be absolutely sure that two 5Vout USB power supplies cannot be short circuited I soldered the red with a 10 Ohm/0.25W resistor in series (the worst that can happen is that the resistor will be overloaded and burn to trash). If you do not have a resistor you can use caution and try with the red wire unconnected (5VDC USB power really should not be necessary) and if that doesn't work connect them without the series resistor (with the risk that you could accidently use the cable to connect two computers with USB power - theoretically you could burn USB port(s) by doing that.

You can buy USB A-A cables from several shops, these are as far as I know with all 4 wires connected directly with no series resistor, they are normally used to connect external HD boxes or the like - needing the USB power intact.

Assuming that you now have the right cable, remove ALL cables from the amlogic box (f.ex. I had problems USB connecting when the HDMI cable was inserted).

Connect the USB cable between the amlogic box and the PC.

On the PC, load UBT and select the firmware .img file, let UBT verify the img file. Then click the big start button - now UBT will be waiting for the USB device to connect.

Insert the power plug into the amlogic box. Mine connected without pressing any buttons, I've seen somewhere else that some devices needs you to press and hold the power button and/or the reset switch during insertion of the power in order to enable the winusb functionality.

If UBT gives you an error saying something about a switch, some pins regarding the NAND ROM should be shorted inside the box during flashing - my box had a dedicated internal switch, yours might have testpoints on the PCB that should be shorted with a wire instead.

When it works, a device connection will pop up in the UBT tool with a progressing slider going from 0 to 100%. The amlogic device will turn up as a "WorldCup" device under a root device folder called something like winusb-xx (xx I do not remember exactly) devices in Windows device manager.

Another advice is that most computers have several USB host controllers, so simply plugging the USB cable into another USB port might solve your problem.

I wish you luck with flashing your device.
