Help with TWRP?

I have have followed directions from https://slimboxtv.ru/twrp-vremennoe/

1. Downloaded TWRP . - TWRP_AML_SlimHouse_3.5.2.zip

2. Copied flash drive.

3. Rebooted to the stock recovery with Slimbox extended reboot.

4. Selected " Apply update from EXT "

5. Update from udisk

6. Selected "TWRP_AML_SlimHouse_3.5.2.zip"

Screen shows TWRP Spalsh screen and locks on it.

Power off/on reboots to stock recovery.

Amlogic s905x 2g/8g Slimbox AOSP 15.4.7

I just want to be able to back up box before modifications.

I do not want to install TWRP permanately
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mAtvXk:
try this one 🤞
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gdawg1950:
Thanks. No joy. Same result
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gjwa yzma:
Try slimhouse twrp again.

Keep in mind it is temporary twrp for slim firmware only.

Should start in Russian

Then you change language

For backup maybe try Titanium

Or I see Alpha Backup on slim site.

May test Alpha myself
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gdawg1950:
Yes I'm using slim firmware and slimhouse twrp.

Slimhouse TWRP is what's getting stuck.

I need to load it from a usb drive because the sdcard is being used as adoptable system memory.

I don't want to install twrp permanently as that will prevent patches from the slimbox system settings.

Alpha works but can be quirky.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gjwa yzma:
Okay

Put temporary twrp on USB

From settings use install patch

Think it is in slimbox settings

System will see USB with twrp

Install

Hi , i got a TX3 MINI+ , installed slimBOXtv 16.4.5 on it.

Put slimhouse TWRP on a USB stick, went into recovery, aply update fom Udisk.

Getting error " E:Unexpected ota package type, expects AB, actual block. Installation aborted "............... Wat shud i do now
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gjwa yzma:
Here is method of madness I use

First enable root

Place temporary twrp on 32 gig usb drive

From slim settings

Installing patch

Select twrp

Will install from there

Or take you to recovery

From there

Apply from ext

Select udisk

Install

Change language (if required)

Create backup

By default will go to internal

I use Select storage

Move to otg udisk(same usb temporary twrp is on)

Create backup

Reboot

Remove usb and keep in safe place

There are other methods with terminal/adb

I prefer slow manual method

Good luck

Happy Testing
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] sxmdim:
Hi , i have no "installing patch" option in Slimbox settings (also not in normal settings, i checked everywhere). My Slimboxtv rom is 16.4.5 AOSP
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gjwa yzma:
Okay

I test atv version

Ignore that part

Boot to recovery (toothpick method)

From there

Apply from ext....

Etc

Etc

Happy Testing
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] sxmdim:
I did that and that gives me the error from my first post.

Did you enable root?

Before starting any of this

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kenwoo1966:
any help for this box and correct rom would be great thanks
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gjwa yzma:
Okay

Have been dropping subtle hints

Lol

Need more info

Post the following

Confirm CPU is S912

Ram = ?

Internal memory = ?

Once you have done that.

Go to slim site and look for box as close to yours in Hardware.

At slim site

Click on Firmware Tab S912

There are 2 sections with boxes to read specs/etc...

Good luck

Happy Testing
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kenwoo1966:
TZ95PLUS ram = LPDDR,CPU AMLOGIC S912 octacore.WIFI AP6225 .if you zoom in on Pic it shows the version of the board Funny I cam install Minixfreak rom s912 and atcxperience v2ff LPDDR
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gjwa yzma:
Okay

Now confirm whether you have 2/16

Or 3/32 revision

Use aida 64 or Ram truth

Or HW+ apps

Also if you remove 3 screws on PCB

Gently lift out

Often there is sticker on underside of board

From slim site there is no specific version for your China Box

So will gave to research / read specs on other boxes

The H96Proplus has revisions for

2/16

3/16

3/32

You may have different results Testing various Firmware

Good Luck

Hello all and first and most important thank you for this great rom!! it really works great for me, but..... there is always a but jajajjajajaja

Well I have an old Sunvell T95M 4k, S905X 2GB ram 8GB rom originaly packed with android 6, well I really have two of them still

One of them have an ATVX V4 installed runing great and the other was in stock android 6, but the newer versions of emuelec/coreelec needs a newer kernell to work properly so I decided to update the other box wich is the one I have in my living room

First I tried Aidans V9 rom, great rom but I have some wifi problems so decide to try this SlimboxTV rom 15.4 with ATV

It is really the best rom I have tried I love all the funtionallity and stability but I have a little problem... I want to run Emuelec/coreelec from sd card and ATV9 from emmc like I do in the other box with ATVXperience

I have flashed the Slimbox rom, all is working properly, but I only can go to the recovery menu from the special reboot options of the rom, the "AV switch" is not working and if I put an uSD card with coreelec/emuelec the box don´t want to start it keeps in a black screen like when you put a wrong DTB file on it

I have tried to reflash the box but USB Burning tool can´t see the device since slimbox software has been installed

Someone can please tell me if it is possible to boot from SDcard with this rom?? and if not, how can I make it visible again in Burning tool??

Another time thank you very much for that great work
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] raruba:

Hi, have you tried with "Reboot to libreelec" app? I can confirm emuelec works on my s905x tv box with slimBOXtv ATV 15.4 Rom.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] RuBeN16v:
That works!! now Burning tools detect the box, thanks
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] RuBeN16v:
First time I heard about that app

But if your box works I think mine should work too, so I´m going to try it

I suppose you prepare the SD card run the app,insert the SD and it boots and intall emuelec.

After installing all the box starts from SD or you have to run the app in android every time you want to run emuelec?

Thank you very very much

Now only have to fix bluetooth and VFD but I suppose it is going to be more difficult jajajaja

I managed to flash this rom on my device X96X4 using the latest 16.4.7 ATV released few days ago. Its awesome and quite fast. I have few questions though:

- I think i broke google assistant, now every time i tried to use it, its keep saying "waiting to start google assistant" or something like that. This is after i updated all google services via google store.

- I denied SU for ViperFx app as i dont know what it is, is this something i need to worry about?

- My Bluetooth headset is almost unusable for movies, though i have similar issue using original rom but not as bad as this. Just wondering if Bluetooth is a known issue with this rom/device?

- Any way i can make this discoverable via google home? every time i tried to use google assistant, it keeps playing on my shield instead of this device X96X4. I cant discover the device through google home.

- Is there a an english setting for knho hd? its russian i think.

Everything else is good. please note that I dont use any Netflix, Prime, Disney etc as everything i need are all in Kodi and Kodi works great in this rom.

appreciate everyone for a response.

Thanks a lot Dev for all the hardwork on this rom.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Reaper Man:
* SU for ViperFx

Basically SuperUser for root

You may have denied the application to auto-start on boot ( sound profiles may not save/work?)

* Bluetooth and Hardware

v4.0-4.2 (2010) 5.0-5.3 (2016 - )

Also, some codecs are developed for lower latency. You would need to check if you have the plugins (eg. aptX-HD) and that your headphone/speakers can use these codecs.

* Russian apps

Are in Russian. They would have to be developed/modded with multi-languages or use system language.

:)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] zhamrock:
Thank you.

Just an update , google assistance is working again after I uninstalled the update. However, it keep sending all the output to my other devices Nvidia shield. E.g “open youtube” goes to nvidia instead of ny device.

Hallo zhamrock

I copied thus part of your post

Everything else is good. please note that I dont use any Netflix, Prime, Disney etc as everything i need are all in Kodi and Kodi works great in this rom.

If you have not already maybe test

CoreELEC. On external Media

There is option in Power Menu to

Boot from Emmc/nand.Switch between OS

So can have best of both worlds.

Awesome slimboxtv on Nand

Kodi/CoreELEC with All(most) functions enabled. On external

If you use reboot function in slimboxtv will switch to CoreELEC

Hi Everyone!

I'm using a X98mini S905w2 and I've tried to find a AOSP rom for a long time but no luck at all. I also tried to flash other s905w2 roms from Slimbox but all failed because the bluetooth/wifi/remote control all not working.

Very disappointed why Slimbox had no custom ROMs for X98 mini s905w2, perhaps it was not a popular device. So, I would appreciate if someone could help to recommend a compatible AOSP rom for me to test .... or the way to migrate the bluetooth/wifi/remote files to other adjustable AOSP rom.

Thanks in advance!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gjwa yzma:
This is not a failure

Just the result of testing

No front display

No remote config

No wifi/bluetooth

Are most common results because your hardware does not match slim versions you are testing.

You do have working ethernet?

There are ways around this and can still enjoy slimboxtv.

USB driven devices

I use logitech k400 plus keyboard to navigate

Usb mouse can work

Usb wifi adapters

Also by default CeC is enabled in slimboxtv

TV remote control can navigate China Box

Not much you can do about bluetooth .??

Hello, I'm pretty new to slimBox and use it on my H96 Max X3. It seems a bit heavy and slowing down the device, so I started deleting some Google related stuff and it seems to help.

Now I noticed that there are also minislimtv and ugslimtv firmwares available.

Can somebody tell me what are the differences between those firmwares? Unfortunately I couldn't find any information about those projects on the website or here on XDA.

Best regards.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ppoon:
Thanks so much for your advice!

Is there any ways to find the fix patch for X98mini S905w2 (bt/wifi module AM7256)? As I remember Slimbox could help to provide a QC9377 patch for fixing the bt/wifi problem for S912 devices in the past.

If not, just only way to go back to the factory ATV rom.

Hi,

I have a X96 Max Plus (4gb), and running SlimboxATV 15.2, is there a easy way to apply the latest firmware 15.4? or do I have to do the same process as before, with cable and PC ?

Also, is there any changelog of improvements that I can check what was changed?

As @Arno_Nuehm posted above, I too have same question, what are the differences between

minislimtv and ugslimtv and Slimboxtv ?

I got a strange problem:

In 2 boxes i got the same problem nearly at the same time: The HDMI out don´t work more, TV says: no signal.

OK, we had some bad weather here in this days, but it is strange, that the box is booting and working, but HDMI dontt work more.

i get the image with the AV out port and RCI in port on TV, but the signal is very bad and the edge cutted, i cannot use this. But it says me, that the boxes are working.

So i installed older versions from Slimbox, even the original firmware, no success, HDMI no signal.

Also i made TWRP backup from a 2. box same hardware and rom and restored it, but nothing.

The boxes are: HK1 and X96 max+ / the both wirh actual rom 15.4.1

Someone have an idea, what i can do else???
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gjwa yzma:
Alot of these China Boxes have no protection on HDMI port for surge/overcurrent.

I've ruined my x96 max plus by hot plugging HDMI cable.(av port only works)

Test CoreELEC on external media

See if HDMI out is working
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Reaper Man:
1. Try different T.V. (HDMI)

2. Try new /other HDMI cable.

:eek: HDMI ports are very electro-static susceptible ...easy to fry... when devices are powered on. (DO NOT unplug when turned on !!!)

I did not mension it, but sure, i had tried your suggestions in different ways, before. This are the first tests naturally in this Situation.

I had a similar problem, solved when i went to my tv settings and tried all the advanced HDMI formats, mine had standard, advanced and dolby vision modes and somehow my HK1 was defaulting to dolby vision... and advanced/standard had no signal
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tombraga:
I saw

which tv settings you mean? in the settings of the tv box where i have slimbox rom installed?

in the device settings i can only find display settings, where i see HDMI CEC....Dolby Vision
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
If you want Coreelec for your HK1 Box follow my instructions from the PDF file. Everything will be raedy and working (the stock remote control, the front screen and you will have the temperature at the front screen !): https://mega.nz/file/Qh1G2LjJ#KOvtbhYDINS0erbT9_KVRtF1TQu0KrhZBSkqv1hQUCM

On tthe other hand, before that you can try to:

Turn ON TV and the TVbox. Turn OFF the TV and again turn it back ON (leaving your TVbox in ON state in the meantime)

OR just change HDMI ports with the TV's remote control (from HDMI 1 to 2, 3 etc). Sometimes you will find that instead of the Black screen you will get picture from the TVbox !! So simple. (unless of course you "burned" your HDMI port during hot-plugging !!)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] awibabau:
I mean your TV. I assume the problem is on the same TV? Some Tv's, the new ones have several HDMI modes and you can select between HDMI standard (1.4), advanced (2.0) and Dolby Vision (2.1). Newer Tv's can probably have even more HDMI formats. You need to select between these formats while you are in HK1 to see where it was defaulted...

I'm saying this because the exact same thing happened to me on a Sony TV, no signal because it was in HDMI format standard, changing to advanced on the HK1 port worked...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tombraga:
in my case, it is not a tv problem, i use some older models, where i cannot choose HDMI formats.

i tried also now with Coreelec, but no success, i think, i give it up...it´s a pitty, two good boxes, but no HDMI output...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] awibabau:
Old tv can be a problem, maybe install a ugoos port rom on HK1 at least 0.4.2 as they default to the correct format. So you know slimbox always enables by default SDR to HDR and Dolby Vision enabled by default which can cause issues on old tv's, ugoos port is more compatible and ready for all tvs.

It's on 0.5.3 if i'm not mistaken, try those roms to see if you like it more. I'm using 0.5.1 now on HK1 and it's wonderful, miles better than slimbox roms. The main issue with ugoos ports is sometimes some extra stuff don't work but it doesn everything slimbox does and better. For example, i had many issues with BT pairing with slimbox roms, totally solved in ugoos ports, now i can pair anything that moves...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tombraga:
oh great, thanks for this ideas, sure i will try it.

Which model works for the HK1, the ugoos x3 familiy? and for my X96 max plus the same rom works?

there is 0.5.4 and 0.4.2 rom at this time, perhpas i try the 0.5.4 ?

I tried to install 0.5.4 with usb burning, but it stopped at 3 %
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] awibabau:
For HK1 you only need to know if yours is 100M or 1000M, then just choose the correct rom. For X96 max plus it's a bit more complicated as there are "n" different models...

As for chosing ugoos ports, you can choose the hybrid roms on 4pda or install the ones on slimbox page aka ugslimtv, they are a bit different but very alike...
