[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] n.p.:
I installed Telegram just for this, and have found the experience extremely unpleasand. I must have broken some unknown (to me) rule, because my questions seem to provoke quite hostile responses (including limiting my account).

I had joined the channel and asked a rather bland (and polite) question (to the channel - not to an individual) about allowing alternate WebView providers (I have encountered more and more apps and sites that don't work with the included WebView, 83.0.4103.120, due to missing features present in current versions) in the Developer Options setting to allow for allow for alternate providers.

Immediately, someone deleted my post, and I received the following message from "Spam Info Bot."

Asking for clarification (via the commands) produced the following (none of which applies to posting a question on a support forum).

First of all, I have absolutely no faith in the Telegram moderators for determining my message as "spam." But I would also like to know why someone reported this. I first assumed that this happened because I wrote in English, not Russian (I can't write Russian, but could use an app to translate), but I saw plenty of other of English questions in the group. Finally, I would (really) like to know if the developers could add the option to use Mulch System WebView (the only alternative I know that receives regular updates now) as an alternative to the out-of-date included version.

I have the X3, and (without any access to a Windows machine), have updated it many times using the following method.

1. Obtain the ROM.

2. Find the program aml_upgrade_package_extract.c, which you can find here. The comments in the program basically contain the instructions, which I will repeat below.

3. Compile the program (naming the output aml_upgrade_package_extract).

4. Use the program to extract the files from the image.

5. Overwrite the beginning of the SD card with aml_sdc_burn.UBOOT (except for the partition table entry). The instructions contain the wrong byte offset for that entry (an SD card with a single partition will have the partition information in bytes 446-461), but they will work (obviously skipping bytes 442 and later won't overwrite bytes 446-461).

6. Copy three files to the SD card - aml_sdc_burn.UBOOT, aml_sdc_burn.ini, and the ROM image (renaming it to aml_upgrade_package.img).

7. Place the card in the device, and power the device on with the reset button (inside of the headphone port) pressed.

thanks will try it later, I also ordered new 1m USB cable in case it was something wrong with previous one.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gjwa yzma:
3 m cable is probably to long.

I have HK1X4 same as Vontar

The OTG port is on the corner of box

45° angle

Have been issues making contact

Won't insert deep enough

Some had trim plastic from usb cable end.

Also can try

With USB Burning Tool running

Image loaded and have hit start

With USB cable One End connected to PC

From Android Terminal Emulator app

Apply command

Reboot Update

Quickly plug in other end of USB Cable

To TV Box
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Gilg@mesh:
ok, yeah been using that port, new cable same thing won't be recognized by windows, the box turns on when plugging in the usb so I think it inserts deep enough, might try trim the plastic.

edit: I trimmed the plastic but still won't recognize the box.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Gilg@mesh:
can you please guide little in more details, step 3, don't really understand what to do, thanks.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gjwa yzma:
Uninstall all versions of USB Burning Tool

And there drivers

Then reinstall only 3.20 and applicable drivers

Then try reboot/update command

Maybe is best to have USB end plugged in to Vontar

Then quickly insert other end to PC USB port

this Android Emulator app, which one? installing on the box or PC? I run Windows 11 if it matter.

Anybody have slimboxtv firmware for gt king b92x version? And firmware is 9.12 (slimboxtv aosp for gt king?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gjwa yzma:
On windows machine you will have USB Burning Tool running with image loaded and have hit start.

**Also may help to Install Amlogic USB Drivers for Windows 11 before.

On Android TV BOX you need to install Terminal Emulator APK for Android
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] n.p.:
You need a C compiler. If you use Linux (I would guess not), you should already have gcc. If you run Windows, you will need to install gcc. A search ("gcc for windowns") finds a number of tutorials, videos, and links to downloads. One comment on a web page suggests that simply typing choco install mingw in a shell will do everything you need.

Once you have gcc installed, you simply type the command listed in the comments of the program: gcc aml-upgrade-package-extract.c -o aml-upgrade-package-extract

My volume bar is not working on the YouTube app for Android TV in the latest firmware (9.14 AOSP). Whenever I open the YouTube app on my Android TV with the latest SlimboxTV firmware, I can't increase or decrease the volume. When I close the YouTube app, the volume bar works normally. My Android TV player is a GT King B92X. Please help!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mAtvXk:
This is not firmware issue, revert back to last app (YouTube for Android TV 3.05.004) version with working volume controls...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] rajawaqasaziz:
Thanks Sir
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] sesdave:
No issues with Youtube /volume bar shows working for me. Thats using a Q5 remote air mouse with gyro with a USB dongle - not expensive. I never use the bluetooth remotes ones that come with the boxes. Check remote has new batteries Uninstall/reinstall youtube apk from playstore. If same issue redo box with a clean flash
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] rajawaqasaziz:
I have done a clean installation of the new SlimboxTV firmware based on 9.14 AOSP. After this update, my volume bar stopped working on the YouTube app for Android TV. I have a new G10 remote with a dongle. Before the new firmware installation, everything was working smoothly.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] sesdave:
Strange - I just downloaded standard youtube apk from playstore - no issues at all re volume. on both my King B92xs. Check your remote batteries - remotes sometimes work some apks when batteries low not others . If you have another remote try that as well. Maybe give youtube music only version m playstore a try see how that goes. Good luck
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] rajawaqasaziz:
My remote and batteries working fine, I downgraded previous version of YouTube tv and volume become normal/

Hello.

I have installed slimboxtv android 11 on my Vontar x4 device. Works way better than original firmware.

However, i cant install Disney + app from Google Play store. It doesnt find it in search and when i find it manually, it says its not compatibile with my device.

How is that possible?

Any solution?

All other apps (prime video, HBO, youtube...) installed without problems.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gjwa yzma:
Try a different source

Like apk pure

Or download from PC browser

And copy to USB Drive

Then install from File Explorer
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] t34v2:
I've tried many versions. Most of them worked, but there was an issue with the interface - cannot play movies.

Same thing with netflix.

Could you share working version? Or link?

Hello, excuse my bad English, I use Google Translate, I have Slimbox 11.26 aosp installed and I want to use the DirecTV Go application, but when I run it and start it, a logo appears that says: Your operating system has been changed, I don't know what to do to get it Start correctly, if anyone knows how to edit the apk or the firmware so that this apk works correctly, I would appreciate your help.

And for those who have audio problems with Disney, apparently it is because of the old televisions, because with the modern ones the audio can be heard and with the old ones you cannot hear it.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] rafid1:
Any thoughts on how to solve the issue, of changing physical keyboard language with control-space keys-combo?

Edit:

Found a solution - side-loaded and installed "AnySoftKeyboard" , defined the two languages - they define switchover keys, and the default shift-space - just worked for me... They have extra "language packs" you need to also install if you need any of those extra languages..

Hi folks,

apologies for this perhaps a newbie question. I got my tv box runs on slimboxtv v11.21 and now I see there is a newer version, v11.26.

so the question I have is : is it possible to update my firmware without wiping everything out? I have plenty of apps in that box so do not want to redo everything from ground up.

Thank you in advance for any pointers.

Cheers!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mAtvXk:
Yes/No, if firmware update has system amendments.

I can't get it to work, computer won't find the box, both of them, shouldn't the box show in the burning tool app? any special drivers for windows 11?

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whitedavil:
Hi, I use the 11.21 version on vontar x4 128gb.

With every newer version the box not boot up. Work only this version.

I'm the only one with this issue?

Have a suggestion?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tweetear:
@mAtvXk - ah!! thank you for the pointer. you said Yes/No, when is Yes and No? The new firmware has system amendments
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gjwa yzma:
Nice !!!

Glad you finally got it working
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gjwa yzma:
Go back and read the instructions again.

Should be a Header back-lit in Red warning about system ammendment

*** Reason for edit

*** If everything is working fine with older version

Then you don't have to install latest version/update
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tinko975:
i did it multiple times and everything works good.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] sesdave:
I have done a dirty flash to save reinstalling all my apps numerous times ( eg untick eraze flash) and had no issues but that isnt guaranteed there wont be issues. Tthe recommendation is that if there are system ammendments/updates included it is always better to do a clean flash. :cool:
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Joerg1909:

Device: H96 Max X3 STB with Slimbox 9 latest

Issue: The tuner is not detected by any Android TV applications, although AIDA64 shows the USB device information.

Logs: dmesg indicates that the DVB device is recognized, but it does not function correctly.

I am interested in using the Google Live Channels app or any other solution that allows direct live TV watching without streaming from another device.

Could you provide guidance on potential drivers, configuration changes, or additional software that might be required to enable support for this tuner on Android TV?

Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards,
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Gilg@mesh:
I use the Android TV version as I need some apps in TV mode, for example the Viaplay app, I can install it now and login, I can see stuff but the LIVE stuff does not work, it starts the stream but not in LIVE mode, I don't know if the app recognize the box as no true Android TV, on my Shield TV it works without any problems.

any idea if this can be solved? Thanks

Did you ever figure out a way to get the bluetooth to work again in the X98Q? Amaing story by the way.

Do you think the stock firmware supports bluetooth receivers over usb (otg)?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] shaglord:
Has anyone else attempted to flash a different firmware to unlock features?

On X98Q bluetooth is disabled in software it seems. The X98mini is very similar in specs and some firmwares have successfully enabled the bluetooth in X98Q.

Thank you for reading and/or commenting.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] shaglord:
I can't for the life of me get my X98Q to be detected in Amlogic Burning Tool. With/without power, pressing reset, holding reset. All kinds of combinations.

And I know the cable is ok because I used it to flash another Amlogic tv box a few months ago.

Is it possible they disabled flashing in the latest stock firmware? (mine came updated to 2022-08-04 which seems to be the latest)

I spent a long time trying again and no success. I followed your procedure exactly multiple times. I tried both usb ports.

I opened the box up to see if there are any pins/pads that I need to short to enable burning mode. I had to on the Xiaomi 905X box I flashed.

Any ideas?

Hello

For several weeks, I have been using the firmware on my HK1 type devices.

However, I have a question. Despite firmware updates, I'm having trouble connecting to some customers' Wi-Fi networks.

The problem seems to be random according to customers.

I'm wondering if there's a specific option in your firmware that needs to be enabled to avoid this problem.

Thank you.

x96x10 no sound after flashing 11 .23 ,normally works with original image.

any ideas?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gjwa yzma:
Try this if you haven't already

Settings

slimBOXtv Settings

Additional Settings

Network & internet

Click on your wifi connection

Move to

Wifi preferences

And enable

Turn on wifi automatically

You may be prompted to turn on location

If you haven't already.

Also you may need to physically remove Ethernet Cable from back of box.

If connect.

Also can be issues with 5ghz connections

As opposed to 2.4 ghz always connect fir me .

When testing.

I don't use wifi much

I prefer wired Ethernet

Try play with settings

Maybe will help

Happy Testing

Try clean reflash else buy a USB dongle air gyro remote like q5 or G10/20 they dont use bluetooth. Too many devices use bluetooth so I find in my bar better have it switched off on the boxes

I find I need install Volume Booster GOODEV to hear my box properly - and thats playing sound via HDMI to a TV connected to an AMP and speakers.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mogulman01:
Tried that. I'm using a Boxput BPR3S plus remote. I've tried USB 2.4 and Bluetooth. Bluetooth seems more reliable except when it shuts off.

I think the box goes into some kind of sleep mode when I turn off my TV. When I turn on the TV, sometimes it takes a few seconds for Ethernet and other things to start working on the box. Anyway to stop this from happening?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mogulman01:
I have same box and Same firmware. No sound issue for me. Same volume level as stock firmware and other android devices. Box hooked to HDMI on TV, then using HDMI arc to a sound bar.

Found (ver.9) on well known russian forum.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mogulman01:
Tried this. The setting says "Turn off display", so I wasn't hopefully but tried anyway. Same issue. Turned off TV and came home, Ethernet was disconnected for about 10-15 seconds while the box resumed from sleep.

In the past, I tried turning off HDMI-cec, in case the TV was sending a power off signal. That didn't seem to make a difference either.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mogulman01:
There is a Stay Awake option under developer options?

Problem with bluetooth in SBX 9.14.1 on T96Z box (S905x3 - 4/32GB)

[Possibly the same device as X88 Pro X3 and Selenga A5]

Hi everyone.

Everything else seems to be be working fine in slimboxtv on this box except for bluetooth.

Bluetooth switch in the settings is turned off. When you try to turn it on, it moves to the right but never shows as active.

Logcat shows repetitive on/off conditions as a result of some issue.

Is someone able to hint where to start with the troubleshooting?

Also, does anyone have working bluetooth on one of the mentioned boxes with this sbx version?

Thanks in advance!

Well sesdave you should be happy you got the X96 X10, I just got mine and thing flies. It 5x faster then the ugoos A8. Wow what a difference. Maybe the ugoos will get better with firmware updates but right now..... Wow and it's half the price

Well guess I spoke to soon, I turned the box on this morning and had the dead android. Clicked try again and it rebooted fine, but then flashed for about a minute and wEnt right back to dead android. Tried 3 or 4 times. Same thing everytime. Any ideas? It was running great for a day.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] sesdave:
Is that dead android - eg dead box no power or just black screen? Auto creen resolution can cause black screen dependant on TV /monitor resolution - checked HDMI connection ? If not maybe a firmware corruption. Can boot to get into factory reset? If not Can you connect to PC for relash latest slim. ? I load Burn tool 3.2.8 then load latest img. Then I plug USB dual cable into USB 3 port on X96X10 box. Then plug in power. Burn tool detects then flash. If wont boot and cant flash return to seller as faulty. If so just unlucky - never had a problem any android box. One things re X96X10s is they do seem a bit hot due to metal case - I use USB fan trays for them
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] raruba:
Yeah, it seem google was updating apps, so I went in and turned off automatic update and seems OK right now. But I did have to reinstall the firmware. Will let you know how it goes. Google even shut down some of my apps. Android 11 is an different animal.

Update: still no luck ,flashs fine but after i install apps, screen starts flashing and goes back to dead android. Hit retry, box boots up normal, after about 30 sec screen starts flashing and then shuts down again. U can do this over and over again and again. I got fan on it so its not hot. Seems its not rooted, google whats to keep starting play protect. And theres a notice at top about serial console enabled, performance is impacted, (is this on yours?) says use bootloader to disable. I have got X96 X4 with andriod 11 and have never had ths problem, same apps and evrything. Its got to be operating system. Thanks for your help
