Hello, i would not consider myself as "paranoid", but rather its a waste of my money with my electricity bill and performance of my box, if something like crypto mining in the background takes place. Also process overviews might not immediately reveal whats going on because of process namings etc.

So is there something like a torough security check to make sure a custom rom runs fine without any crap in the background?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Nasty_z:
Hello.

I am trying to flash this rom on Vontar X3. The UBT tool does not detect my device. The device powers on whenever I connect it using USB.

I have tried USB 2 port, USB 3 port, power adapter + USB port 2/3. I have also tried to reboot to recovery/bootloader but it never detects my android box. I have also tried different USB ports on PC but it still does not detect it (other devices connected to my USB ports are functioning correctly).

I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the UBT many times.

Any help please?

Thanks in advance
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
Do you press the "reset" button (in the AV port) while connecting the cable?

The process is:

- Load the image in the UBT and press "START". Connect one end of the cable to the PC/Laptop

- While pressing the reset button connect the other end to the Vontar (preferably the black USB). Keep pressing the reset button from 3-5 seconds, until burning starts.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Nasty_z:
Hi. Yes, this worked. The issue was the reset button.

Thanks!

Everything seems to have gone fine, with SD card method.

Question is, should I have put the license folder anywhere with this method?

Or I ignore this part?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
No. You would need the licence folder only if you were going to use USB Burning Tool. So you must have done everything right.:)

Thanks.

It was one of my most painless custom ROM upgrades ever.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] joctavio:
Good morning, I have installed your ROM in a Tanix TX5 Plus de luxe edition tvbox, it was installed correctly (usb burning tool) and started correctly, Magisk updated to the latest version without problem; Unfortunately, the functionality of the original remote control, the bluetooth and the Wi-Fi connection were completely lost, in addition the operation of the notification bar and the navigation bar is chaotic; Anyway thanks for your work, I will try to find a rom with more compatibility, the main reason for trying your ROM was because of the impossibility of installing MAGISK in the original Tanix TX5 Plus de luxe edition ROM.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
If you have a TWRP backup of your original/stock rom you can try and restore ONLY the VENDOR partition. Doing this may fix most of your problems.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] joctavio:
Thank you 👍
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
Did you try it? If yes, please say your experience.

Have a WD Passport 1 TB external drive .

Have formatted in both exfat and fat32 and have problem with Vontar X3 having errors reading the drive in the usb3 port but no issues in usb2 port.

No issues in stock ROM.

Any idea why?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
The custom rom is based on the stock rom of HK1 Box, so there must be no difference.

I own an HK1 Box and not Vontar X3, but these boxes are almost identical. Vontar X3 has the board of HK1 Box !!! (if you open it you most probably see the inscription HK1).

What I know is that I have many problems in HK1 Box and different USB memory sticks. What I found is that the problem is that some of them are not read, because they cannot be fully inserted !!

The port is rather deep in the case of the box

. That's why I have connected an extension cable (male-female USB) and now I don't have any problem.

So please check if the USB of the HDD is fully inserted in the USB port (or better use an extension cable, if you have one).
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] cossak2007:
Found the problem

Was using Solid Explorer File Manager on this ROM but the

X-plorer file manager on stock rom.

When I installed the X-plorer on HK1 ROM , I have no more issues.

Super ROM and what a great improvement on the stock ROM.

Been a pleasure using it.

Thank you.

I have answered this here : https://forum.freaktab.com/forum/tv...eel-y8-max-amlogic-s905x3?p=820473#post820473
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] cossak2007:
Any way to set the system file manager default to another file manager like X-plorer File Manager ?

Have a widget that I can import saved settings but can't import settings with present system file manager.

or how to get "open with" option ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
There are many ways to do the same thing.

Usually when you first open a file of a certain type and you have more than 1 application which can open it, you are asked which application you want to use and if this is for "one time or once" or "always". If you answer "always" than the next time there will be no such dialog.

So if you have such an application which opens your files without asking (because you answered "always") you can do the following:

- Go to "Settings-Applications-Show all applications" , find the one you don't want to be the default, click upon it, scroll down and tap "clear defaults"

I think this must be enough to choose your default file manager next time.

You can also uninstall virtually any application you don't like or want (i.e. the preinstalled File Explorer).

Something not relevant to your question: Have you enabled Square Home 3 as the default Launcher?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] cossak2007:
Using ADW launcher .

In the settings, all app are already clear with no defaults on any of them.

Including the system file manager "File" , which the widget opens up with on import or export settings.

Used Titanium Backup to uninstall the system app but could not do it.

Cannot set any defaults for any of installed apps in settings.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
1. I stronly advise you to use Square Home 3. Some of your problems may arise from the Launcher. In any case you can try it (it is preinstalled anyway) and if you don't find it suitable for you, you can go back to ADW.

2. If you used Titanium to restore applications from another rom, maybe from there could be some problems. That's why when I first try a new firmware I prefer to do a clean install of the apks I want.

3. Since you have root access you can selectively delete almost any apk (of course be carefull not to remove a critical one).

Good luck.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] cossak2007:
Thanks for reply.

Do not use Titanium for anything but uninstalling system apps . :)

Outdated and not reliable.

Use now Swift backup.

Excellent app.

Changing launchers shouldn't make any difference as settings app is still the same.

Tried ATV launcher but no difference.

See if you can set or change app defaults, like default file manager on your device .

Please let me know if you can or can't.

Thank you.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] cossak2007:
Flashed firmware again and start clean .

Square Home launcher is easier to work with than my other launchers.

Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

Default apps for launchers and Google .

Cannot change to set or change default file manager to any file manager .

No " open with " and preinstalled system file manager opens up when an app requests a file location.

Anything I can try now as I have googled and all responses point to the settings app section?

Thanks again and will be changing launchers once I restore my TWRP backup.

System
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] cossak2007:
Solved by finding root uninstaller and disabling the system file manager .
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] cossak2007:
Can't do anything with the options when the snapshots taken. See attached photo.

Any permissions need to be given ?

Hello,

I have a vontar x3, and every works ok except wifi, i can not actívate It, at the moment i use lan cable but un a while i will have to use in another place so i need wifi. Any idea if how to fix?

thank you
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
Set the time to be automatic from Internet, set your time zone and maybe even the location. Reboot. Try again to use wifi (activate it from the Settings and

DO NOT

have at the same time the lan cable connected !!).

Please report if your problem is fixed.

I tried several times, but.any chance of turn on wifi.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
Are you using this custom firmware?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] alhuertomartin:
Yes i am
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
Nobody has reported any problem of wifi connection after using this custom rom. So you better look at your router and its options (i.e. if it uses a large number channel try to change it to 1 or 6 etc). You may even make your smartphone a "hot spot" and try to connect to it to "debug" your problem.Also check at "Settings" that DHCP is checked and that you have not set a "static" IP that is not accptable by your router.Good luck.

Hk1x3: tried to burn this rom using the method above

since I pressed the reset button, it wont turn on at all.

any ideas?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
If you did everything correctly the only logical explanation is a problematic sd card. This is not unusual for sd cards (or even removing the sd card from PC/laptop without using the "safely remove" option of Windows ;) ). Anyway the best option for installing firmware is always the USB Burning Tool. That is what I always use and always strongly recommend.

You need a USB-A/USB-A cable. If you don't have one you can buy it OR even do it yourself (DIY). You can use 2 old/spare cables you may have around (from old smartphones etc). Cut them and keep only the USB-A part of them. Connect the 4 inner/smaller cables color to color. Insulate the connections with electrical tape. Better make it no more than 15 cm.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Thegreatcow:
Freaktab is down and I was wondering if you can post the link to the ATV magisk Module for your custom rom ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
Yes I know. So you can try this version : https://mega.nz/file/ch9yVTjB#Q_VR0eVKT60r1iocJNc6aVsnYA25tdswe-oTiveh-fs

In Freaktab I had another version. If you have any problems please inform me and I will try to find the other version I had in my Freaktab thread.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Thegreatcow:
Thank you , ill test it out soon and give you a update
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
And this is the link for the magisk module I had in Freaktab:https://mega.nz/file/JcchlACK#2r15pP4jJme5_yhXA6ILklW-lrQTO-2j-ubnK-Vz9r0

Good Luck.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Thegreatcow:
The first link you posted is way better https://mega.nz/file/ch9yVTjB#Q_VR0eVKT60r1iocJNc6aVsnYA25tdswe-oTiveh-fs The reason why is it only gives you what you need to get ATV up and running , the other link that was in your original Freaktab forum worked great aswell but with a lot of included bloatware ( that you can delete anyways no big deal, but I would refer people to the first link you sent.

Also fair warning, if you do install ATV via magisk module , you cannot remove it or it will cause a bootloop and would need to reflash the box

Another note why I needed ATV rom is because a lot of ATV Apks wont run on ASOP roms, e.g., A&E and History APKS along with a lot of other Android TV apps that will only run on ATV. If you tried to run them on ASOP it will open and close right away
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
Thank you for your feedback. As I have previously stated I always use AOSP version, since I don't like/need ATV versions. So I never even tried these modules (due also to lack of spare time to do this-I have a new box that I try different things now).

I thought that the 1st link would be better, since it is more recent (that's why I gave it to you as 1st also;)).

The only thing that I don't know is the one you said about a bootloop if you remove this module (i.e. by unchecking this module)?

Is this correct? Because according to my information (not personal experience) you can do it with no problem:oops:
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Thegreatcow:
Correct by unchecking the module and rebooting, that will bootloop the box because it doesn't replace the original files it overwrote I assume. No big deal though because if you want ATV Rom then I don't see why someone would want to revert back to ASOP.

I really appreciate you making this rom, i been stuck on a old S905X2 for years because I needed Magisk and it was impossible to get Magisk working on alot of the S905X3 9.0 boxes. I broke a few flashing it via TWRP. I know the Beelink GT King has it but you have to boot into recovery mode for it to work and it was such a hassle.

What new box are you working on if I may ask ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
I had the impression (and by reading the feedback of other users) that by just unchecking the module in Magisk it just goes back to AOSP. And bootlooping usually has to do only with the bootloader. Your assumption (which is logical) that some files are deleted and not able to be reinstated, I would guess could lead to a not normal operation, but not to bootloop. Anyway you have tested it, I didn't, so I guess you are right. On the other hand I know that sometime ago there were 2 separate modules. One for AOSP to ATV and one for ATV to AOSP ;) So finally your experience must be correct, as not to be able to go back so simply.

Anyway lately I am working on my new X88 King (GT King "killer"???-although I personally admire Beelink-my GT1 2/16 is one of the best boxes I ever had). And there is for it a superb custom rom with Magisk preinstalled also (no need to reboot to recovery, but as my current custom rom for H96 max X3:cool:).
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Thegreatcow:
Do they still manufacture the X88 King model? I'll was gunna buy it on Amazon but none for sale.... I ordered boxes many times from China and they never come lol.... Were you able to get Magisk on your X88?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
Yes and Yes.

Hello to all forum members and especially for ath 156, great job and very good support! Please help me solving this wifi specific box problem.

Since january 2020 I received from China a HK1 X3,but the tv box seems to have the well known problems with 2,4/5Ghz very poor speed,the original ROM not rooted and seler offers no support at all. On october 2020 I flashed the box with the ROM presented here, u219_HK1_H96maxX3_Ath156Mod3_ENG_BarsEnable_19082020_OK.img, a very good one. This ROM worked very well till march 2021 when, suddenly, when I started again I noticed that I lost wifi, but bluetooth is ok. As a remark, the tv box was used from time to time. When I try to start wifi from the settings, the specific button is activated (on) for 17 seconds then it goes off. No 2,4/5Ghz wifi network is present at all, despite the fact that the router is at 2 max distance. I repeat, bluetooth is ok,I cand connect and transfer file (mobile phone to tv box). For wifi, the box indicates a MAC but no IP adress and no data transfer. HK1 X3 that I own is a 4GB/128GB, with BLUE board marked with a white label "5QC2 4+128+5230 b11" and with HK5230 wifi/bt module. I tried many,many ROMs for this specific box or compatible with S905X3 but no succes to revive wifi functionality. Please help with an original ROM for HK1 X3 with HK5230 wifi module, or indications how to install/write drivers for this wifi module or a compatible one. I mention that I didn;t made any recovery first,my big mistake. Thank you all in advanced!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
Since you had a working wifi for so much time using this custom rom, there is always the possibility that now you may have a partially damaged wifi chip (probably due to high temperatures ??). Did you use a fan base under your TVbox? Have you checked the temperature (either with the preinstalled Hardware Monitor Bar or with an apk)?

Do you have a wifi mac address like "02:00:00:00:00"?

Have you set the time to be automatically taken from Internet? Have you enabled location?

Try also to competely turn off and then on your router (I am almost sure you have already done this, but just in case.....)

Also never have the ethernet cable connected while you want to use wifi.

Since you have used other custom firmwares with no result, I think you may try to do a clean install of this custom rom (of course using also the Licence Directory that I have given you). If after all these you still don't have a wifi than probably you now have a broken wifi chip.

Good Luck anyway.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] george fane:
Hello ath156 and thank you for your fast response!

1.I didn t use my HK1 X3 so intense,due to it s poor wifi speed…just from time to time and always was “off”, not in stand-by mode (the box was set to act as power off, not stand-by,when you push the power button on remote).

2.The box temperature was not to high,arround 50-67 C (maximum,as I remember),according to your firmware preinstalled hw monitor bar.So,I did not think I need to install a fan,due to this temperature,the box was not used for games or other intense working regime...only for movies and the box have never been hot,no crash,not stopped working or other problems.

3.MAC adress on the upper bar of launcher is .......................; in System Settings/More settings/Settings/System/About device...there is "IP adress Unavailable", "Wi-Fi MAC address 02:00:00:00:00"…why MAC address is different - please explain?...what is the real MAC,finally?...02:00:00:00:00 means that wifi is broken or not,can it be fixed and how?...also, "Bluetooth address .................." – is it possible that Bluetooth works but wifi do not?

4.I have set the time to be automatically taken from Internet and location enabled.

5.I restarted router many times…in fact it is set to do so every day.

6.Never inserted/used ethernet cable.

7.I allready flashed the box with your custom rom,using UBT v2.2.0 (with License)+push AV button+USB A-A cable with no problem at all; I do not know what is "clean install" - please explain how to.

8.You wrote:"Since you had a working wifi for so much time using this custom rom" - from october 2020 to march 2021 is not so much time...only 5 months...and the box have been used from time to time and after that in Off state (Clock Off), not Stand-by.

9.Why wifi button automatically goes off 17 seconds after you activate it?

10.When I noticed that I have nou wifi, I observed also that the custom rom gives me this error: "System UI keeps stopping" - what is about and si it related to the wifi problem?

Please answer to 3,7,9 and 10.

Also,please help me:

1.how to find out if I have the correct driver for wifi module HK5230 - where to look?

2.how to “put” a good/compatible driver for HK5230 wifi module into your custom firmware, due to the fact that it is a rooted one…as I understood from discussions on forums it can be possible…

Thank you very much for your help.
