Always know how to UnBrick your China Box before tweaking/flashing.

Should be able to save it.

You will need to enter emmc mask rom mode.

Fancy idea ! 😖

You will have to open box, remove screws and flip over board..careful not not damage WiFi wire.

Load your proper firmware in Amlogic Burn Tool.

Find EMMC chip, starting at triangle count to pins 29 & 30.

Connect USB Cable to both devices.

Using a thin pin (paper clip is a bit thick)

Gently short contacts 29 & 30 with your pin.

Your computer will beep at mask mode(connected).

Press >Start<

Press >Stop< when firmware reaches 100% (if you have proper firmware)

If Burn tool fails, do not unplug, you are still in masked mode.

Press >Start< again. If no go, press >Stop<.

Load working or new firmware. Press >Start< again.

I'm testing an App named GSpace which is capable to run PrimeVideo in HD in a Huawei Device without GServices where the default App just runs in SD.

If you play too much with the app it gets closet but just leaving a movie playing seems to work, (just tested for a while for now).

So this would work here?

I'm testing it on a default HK1 Rom, (still need to prepare USB cable and read the whole steps before change to SlimBox).

Plastic case reads as Deluxe Edition

Board is labeled/sticker reads as

Installed 14.5

Then 14.6 patch

Then 14_2_5 patch

Now latest 14_6_1 patch

All functions

Still no bluetooth??

Could be human error on my part

There are blutooth Settings in

Make one?

Two cheap USB cables (same model brand is simpler)

Chop both cables about 7" from the male connector.

Strip back 1" of sheilding from each wire.

Match up the strands of color and twist or solder together.

You will have 4 or 5 twisted pairs.

Electrical tape each twisted pair to prevent shorting between colors.

Electrical tape as an "outer jacket" the bundle together.

New Cable length should not exceed 24" (14" Shorter is better).

The cables wear out after ...many usages. Store bought or home made.

Soldering is optional (twist very securely) :sneaky:

. 🤷‍♂️

First consider a DIY:

https://xdaforums.com/t/project-slimbox.4152049/post-86145113

If it is DDR3 and if it is not a Wisdom based board.. the green 2/16 might work.

(Too many ifs for me !)

Try to make your own DIY first, but, download Sbx 2/16 (and 3/32??) just in case.

(I think 🤔 3/32 - Blue Board is for LPDDR....not compatible with regular DDR!)

*** Always know how to UnBrick your China Box before tweaking/flashing. ***
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Reaper Man:
It's a small revision, if it shows up in your >Update< you can install.

Depending on yor China Box, there are new settings that only apply to two " Brands " in Options. If not your Brand do not select that option.

Try a TWRP backup first if you wish to return to previous set-up.

(S912 TWRP is problematic.)

Freshy installed the sbx_h96_pro_plus_3_32_lpddr_atv_14.2 on my box H96_pro+ Blue PCB 3/32 LPDDR via USB BurningTool v2.1.6 ..This version works well for my setup ...But others may find diffrent versions that work well for them as it really depends on user setup ect..

Following a day or so later , I noticed a update patch for v14.4.... That installed fine via the Slimbox settings tab (install patch)...and then I missed a further update .... But it just missed the in-between and download updated the v14.61 patch and that also installed fine with no problems whatsoever using the install patch option.

Hope that clarifies some user’s questions concerning updates.... if you happen to miss an update? Then it will just move on to the latest available at the time of checking for updates.

BTW: it`s a Great! rom for this ailing box and brings it new life... Thanks to all involved with it`s development.

Apparently the problem is linked to the u-boot present in the firmware which is on my Emmc. So I was wondering if there was no possibility to update the famous u-boot in order to allow the boot of kernel> 5.10 from SD-card or USB.

3rd after installing this ROM by USB Burning Tool I can't install other ROMs that I previously installed. It just doesn't detect my box. Nothing happens. I can't install for example the ROM Aidan. Not the last original r112 version of my box
