If it was firmware we would all have the issue surely. !6:9 setting crops the picture a little 1-2%. If you have a Samsung TV set picture size to sceen fit not 16:9. If i try 16:9 on my samsung TV settings (only a 1080p TV) instead of screen fit I get same result as you. My bar LGs are a mix of 55/65/70" with aspect ratio set to automatic with Just scan On. Box display setting set to auto resolution which is ( 4kx30). I have numerous HK1 X3s and a couple X4s with 16.4 and 2x GT Kings B922 with 15.3. Not having same issue using the settings stated - hope they help you sort it.

I have not been able in any way to install magisk on the Rom slimbox tv. I patched the boot.img file with magisk, then I flashed the resulting file with the twrp I choosing as the boot destination partition, but on reboot magisk is not installed with root permissions. I have a beelink gt-king.

Hi All

my device is kiii pro (with damaged internal wifi/bt)

my question:why i can add external usb wifi with Atvxperience 7.1.2

(rtl) and i can t added with all version of slimbox
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ZanyG:
I have the x96 x4 and would like to try this. Trouble is I don't have the Usb A Male-Male cable.

1. Supposedly I can flash with a sdcard but following the instructions I just get to recovery. No flash takes place.

2. I can't flash TWRP from here either because there is some error with AB/BLOCK devices. Not sure which I have and not sure why it would matter considering twrp is supposed to be able to deal with AB partitions since 3.4 or so.

Any idea on how to get it done without the cable?

Thanks!

PS: Can someone confirm/deny that root and/or magisk work on this device?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] raruba:
You can get the male to male cable online for like 6 to 10 dollars

Are any of these x4 ROMs suitable for the Magcubic x4/4/32/100 LAN?

It seems just about any would work, but my (small) concern is the display.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] zan44:
Or simply make one from spare cables (the charge/ sync types with the 4 leads).

[sorry for the double-post]
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ZanyG:
Did you just take the "can it be done WITHOUT the cable" part as a challenge? Not gonna lie - this feels like trolling.

Or perhaps you're saying that using the cable is the ONLY way?

Thanks if you weren't actually trying to troll me I guess?

What I was hoping for was something along the lines of "try flashing twrp for device X - they're similar enough". Maybe you know if the s905x3's would work for this?

There didn't seem to be too many changes in this product-update but I don't feel knowledgeable enough to just try in case I brick the thing.

That would kinda defeat the purpose since I need it to work this weekend.

Thanks

Just loaded 3 x HK1 X4 boxes with latest Vontar 16.4.1. Looks good - had some buffering freezing issues on IPTV which I didnt have on GHK1 X3 15.4. . Might be latest firmware but maybe a secondary LAN switch or a bad internet day may be the issue. I hope so as I like this software. Will test more

Update - turns out Internet providers had merged and undertaking major work. Just my luck as same day I was flashing and testing boxes. Flashed to 16.4.1 then back to 16.4 . Now to go back to 16.4.1 again. All good fun.

I see there are some knock offs

Clone of clone of clone released

Magcubic

OTT Tv Box

Other is just TV Box

All look like Hk1x4/Vontar X4/Transpeed

Maybe Vontar slim might work on your box.

However is 1000 mbit lan

Or Transpeed X4 S is 100 mbit lan

Or X96X4 is 100 mbit lan

As Reaperman reminds us

Always know how to unbrick your China Box.

*Especially Knock offs

There is interest in this old TV box lately

Need to know which Ram chip you have for H 96 Pro +

Do the best of my knowledge slim version is based on lpddr3 Ram for H 96 Pro Plus

If you have DDR4 or DDR3 there are version from other boxes they may work on yours.

Vorke Z1 uses 3G DDR4

As well as

I just reread this post.

What % did you get to on USB Tool?

Sometimes you also have to plug in power supply to complete the flash.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] snic:
Many times to 2% , 4% , 7% ,10% , and the many times error is initialize DDR. I try to connect the power with USB cable but no lucky.

Please if you want write the method who want to plug the power supply. Thank you very much for your help.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gjwa yzma:
I would stay with these versions for success.

Even though is lpddr in slimboxtv description.

If you can get past 7% usually is a good sign.

Try different cable

Different usb tool versions etc.

There are many factors...

Try flashing factory firmware to Box

And if success

Stay with that version of UBT

It can be very frustrating

More good luck

Good evening everyone and thanks to the developer @SlimHouse for the hard and great work.

I flashed the minislimtv rom: 028.2 on a Leelbox S1 - 1 / 8Gb S905X; everything works perfectly; even the wi-fi works much better than the other roms I tried.

There is only one problem: for convenience I use a mini wi-fi usb keyboard (like rii mini i8); the keyboard works, however, even after setting the qwerty layout, the characters do not correspond to the keys pressed (I think it is the Russian layout).

Anyone know how to fix this little problem?

HK1 RBOX X4 4/64 1000mb boxes with Vontar X4 16.4.1. ISP 1GB fibre - 5G router. I have 3 HK1 X4 boxes - on 2 I get constant buffering on IPTV Tivimate or xciptv apk etc streaming sports etc when I am connected via ethernet port. Also get freezing trying play Movie apks . The other one OK.

If I connect using wifi 2.4 or 5G no buffering. All boxes on LAN connected via short CAt6a cables - all tested as good. . Other boxes using same ethernet LAN 1GB switches no problems. . Only 7 boxes and 2 PC in total on LAN . Same buffering if I connect these 2 boxes direct to router.

Anyone else having same/similar ethernet experience on HK1 X4. ? Maybe some ethernet part variations on these 2 boxes depending on who make it so the firmware not 100% suitable for the part. . Open to suggestions as I would prefer use ethernet as I run a sportsbar and need the streaming signal be best it can.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Hotrod369:

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] sesdave:
I live in thailand - not required for the apps I use.. Note I stated no buffering on wifi and same Apps dont buffer on 1 ethernet connected HK1 X4 box - dont need a VPN.

But thanks for suggestion

Is it possible to update from version 16.4.1 to version 16.4.2 (S905X4) and keep the system settings and data, or is it only possible to do a clean installation?

And also, is there already TWRP for aml S905X4? If there is, please for a link.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
1. Yes by removing the "erase flash" check sign at the USB Burning Tool, but it is always better to do a clean install (so you will know that any possible problems/glitches are not due to keeping previous data)

2. No TWRP for the moment.

I have just received two X96 Air P3 4G/64GB boxes and I think I have bricked one of them:

I have burned the correct SLIMBOX AOSP onto a micrSD card and tried to install it, but every time I plugged in the power while pressing the reset button I just ended up in the stock recovery. I have tried several times, then I rebooted the box to the bootloader by accident, the "X96 Air" picture showed up on the TV but nothing else happened. I left it several minutes without anything going on, then I have disconnected the power and now the box is just dead. When I plug in the power, nothing happens, the front display stays dark and the TV only shows "No Signal". When I try to plug in the power while the reset button is pressed (with or without inserted microSD Card), it's the same, nothing happens, the display and TV stay dark.

Is that box dead now or can it be saved?

I really don't know what happened, because the update to SLIMBOX just worked fine on the second X96 Air box with the same (unchanged) microSD card.

BTW I do not have an OTG cable available, which is why I went the microSD card way.

Something similar happened to my x96air P4. But I was able to flash stock with sdcard because it still loaded, doesn't seem like it will for you based on your description.

So yeah vassiliszacharis is right. You will need USB A-A cable.

Then you will be able to flash through UBT...or even flash with short nand pins method if needed.
