google is shady where i live and I'm not good with Russian, what's different about Ugo's version? which one less likely to contain a botnet? why's the thread version newer than the one on that page?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] bobxsherman:
Thank you very much for the help. Yes I did read that also and I appreciate you helping me. I actually upgraded to the 17 and then I applied the patch perfectly, all is well. It’s actually amazing. I am waiting for a x96x10 in the mail. The Tox3 ATV does everything well, I am looking forward to the same with the new box, but just faster. 😊
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] PowderLinux:
The Ugoos images are built using Ugoos firmware as the base, and the regular images are built using the device's stock firmware as the base.. Everything else is the same.

There is a translator built into his page btw..

Hello. I ran out of my new X96 Max Plus_5 4/64GB today. The parameters were fine, but after installing Slimbox, the box only has 16GB of storage space. I tried everything to get the original 64GB but no luck. You don't know what actually happened and how to return the box to its original state? And the RAM is only 2GB! Thank you
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gjwa yzma:
Hmmmmmm

Unfortunately there are 15 revisions on slimboxtv site to choose from.

Are you sure your box has 4/ 64??

The Plus 5 revisions is only 2/16.

Maybe you have Max Plus Ultra 4/64

Or Max Plus 2 4/64

Or 100 revision

There are 15 of them with various wifi/bluetooth chipset

And you flashed the Plus 5 revisions to your Box

That is why reads as only 2 gigs Ram
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Barykelo:
can you help me what revision is this? And to top it off, I managed to turn the box into a brick! please help me with shortpin method. Thank you
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gjwa yzma:
Well this Thread is dedicated to slimboxtv

So can't really help the brick issue.

However you will need to know what this Box is anyway for unbrick..

Image are unsure

Back of Box sticker is 4 /64

X96 Max +

Something about the Amlogic wifi chip???

Best go back to

Slimboxtv site

Go to your TV Box Firmware TAB

X96 MAX PLUS

Scroll down

You will see a Header back-lit in Blue color

How to determine X96maxplus modification. Link

Follow the link to 4pda you will find answers.

Happy Testing

It's really revision 5 so I was duped! I opened a dispute. And the unbrick? Can anyone advise? Thank you

It's already done! I found it on YouTube.

Question, does anyone know what temperature the CPU should be running at.? My ugoos AM8 is running at 128 degrees Fahrenheit when installing apps and streaming. That seems a good bit high to me.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] sesdave:
Buy a USB fan cooling tray - they keep any box cool. I have them under all of my metal cased X96X10 s. They get hot to touch otherwise as they disapate the heat that way. Run 61c without them - 51c with them. The powerful S928X CPU = heat
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] raruba:
Thanks sesdave, I sorta figured that because my 922s don't run near as hot. I think that's a lot of my problems. I'm going to look for some now.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gjwa yzma:
I suspected it was not 4/64

Did not want you to take my word for it.

Good thing is you are unbrick!!

Slimboxtv will run fine on 2/16

This issue is seller lied

Also sticker on underside of box was placed there...

I just received my X 96 box and I have a question. The person I purchased it from was not positive about if it was a J or not. Using AIDA64 the CPU revision is r4p1 just wanted to be sure if that was the J or non J. I assume it is not J I would guess would be in the application. I’m looking at, but not totally positive if somebody could help me out I would appreciate it. TIA.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] sesdave:
Go settings -about - see if firmware is latest 202402 X96X10pro. If so probably an X-J. If no Pro after name probably an X. They started using X-J instead of X about Dec 2023. Try CPU X apk - see details. Only other way is to open box- a bit fiddly
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] bobxsherman:
Thanks very much! It is the older one and I was able to upgrade it with no problems working well. One thing not working is the HDMI CEC. It does not control volume when set. Another is the power button will only shut down, no matter what it is set to. Also auto frame rate does not seem to work as it does with the TOX3. Very minor issues overall I’m very satisfied. 😊 thanks again.

Any opinions on HDR10 and not having Dolby Vision versus having Dolby Vision? I don’t really see much of a difference. Does anybody?

Thanks again

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] sesdave:
I got 7 of the X version as well. Runs great with slim. I just use adaptive HDR and set res to highest my tv support - frame rate to 4k or 8k - DPI leave or set to whatever looks best on the screen - reboot. I sure I must still be on 4k/60 as thats what my TVs are :D . Dolby no idea as I only play IPTV live sport but the picture with the box stated screen resolution settings is very good

I'm wondering if this would work on my Dune HD Pro 8K Plus.... It uses an Amlogic s928x-j I believe
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Reaper Man:
If you have a high quality T.V.:

* Capable of 600 -- 2000 nits (more is better).

* Dynamic tone-mapping

* Inky blacks supported by superior locl dimming.

HDR, HDR10, HDR10+ Dolby Vision(work in progress) can be amazing .

Peak brightness is probably one of the most important aspects of HDR. If a TV has llittle (100-400 nits) HDR peak brightness, it won't display all the highlights of the content.

High contrast ratio and a local dimming feature is important for a good HDR experience; the TV can display bright and dark highlights without loss of details.

xx My current (and previous T.V.) does Dolby Dark(...Dolby Murky) with muddy grey blacks. 4K Bluray was miserable to view !.:rolleyes:

Due diligence: Check for your T.V.'s implementation of Dolby Vision (work in progress - dark and broken even on High end T.V.'s .) Being replaced by Dolby (Luminace?)?

I installed this ROM on my Neo U9 (Minix) everything is working fine but the P2 audio output is not working. I use it to send analogic audio signal to my HT receiver :(

I'm doing my best to download a copy of this off slimboxtv.ru but yandex is impossible to use as I don't have a Russian keyboard. All the captchas are Russian :( Happen to know of a mirror, or would you happen to have a copy to share? Just got an X4Q and the stock firmware is terrible....
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gjwa yzma:
Due diligence

This is Most Excellent Reaper Man !!!!

Have been researching Dolby Vision for the last 6 months or so.

Especially with all the work/ progress from

CoreELEC..

Only to find out we have Samsung TV.s

They Do Not Support Dolby Vision

Theu use HDR10+

Which is Dolby Vision competitor

Or Samsung equivalent to...

So not only would I need a Box with suffix -J/K

I would also need new TV.s

Dolby Vision is overrated

Hahaha 😆

Happy Testing
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] sesdave:
Dont use yandex. go to the X4Q firmware page https://disk.yandex.ru/d/rKOwgQ1OSpceyw - Select the version you want aosp or ATV then hit download tab (second tab top left) - That does a direct download. Not the Save to Yandex tab.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] PowderLinux:
Try using Jdownloader2 to dowload from there..

Just make sure to use the full page url instead of the individual download url, and then remove any old releeases before downloading.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] PowderLinux:
Check that all of the permissions are enabled in app settings, and that the keyboard is enabled in the accessability settings..

If it still doesnt work, maybe try finding and sideloading a previous release of the app 🤷‍♂️
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] n.p.:
The app requests no permissions.

I don't see anything about keyboards in the accessibility section (I do have it enabled in "Keyboard & Autofill" / "Available virtual keyboards" though).

The last update came out more than five years ago. I have used the current release on a number of devices (spanning multiple Android versions) during that time. Again, it has worked flawlessly on all previous versions of slimBOXtv.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Reaper Man:
It is a keyboard app and might be seen under >system apps list which my require storage or contact permissions selected.(reboot required)

If that fails, check to see if your s905x3 China Box has a slimBOXtv 54 /mod

which may work with that keyboard app.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] raruba:
Sesdave, where did you buy your x96 x10s from? I want to get 1 and try
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] sesdave:
aliexpress - many on offer best prices I have seen. I would go for a 4/32 one that states its a X-J in the advert rather than not know if its X or X-J. get vendor to confirm before buy. Look for one with plug options too eg EU US etc. I was lucky I bought all mine when there were only S928X versions. I think the only real difference is Dolby support in the X-J. Slimrom makes a Vg box into one that is everything I need re speed performance picture.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ecffg2010:
Tried using this method for H96 Pro+, took the files from 7.1.2 SHMOD and packed them into the H96 Pro Plus listed on Slimbox webpage (listed ones are only for LPDDR3, and mine is DDR3.), but no luck. Flash was successful, however it got stuck on the Slimbox boot animation, never progressed to the animated one.

However, I managed to successfully find a working version afterall. My H96 Pro+ is a CZ-S32-V2.2, 64GB/3GB DDR3, qca9377 with Gigabit LAN.

First version that I found here was X92 SBX, flashed successfully, remote worked, but Bluetooth kept constantly crashing.

Second version was recommended to me in the SBX Telegram group. It was the Tronsmart Vega S96 SBX. That one flashed successfully, everything seems to be working fine, LAN didn't test yet, but since both are Gigabit, I'd expect it to work. Only thing was the Remote control did not work. So I unpacked the X92, where the remote worked, to Level 1, found the files in vendor/etc and used a USB and MiXplorer on my H96 to replace the files in vendor/etc (requires Root) and presto, remote working again.

Maybe I could try swapping the bootloader files from X96 to H96, but don't see much point as everything so far seems to be working. Very nice upgrade from Android 7.1.2 to 9.13 afterall.

Leaving this wall of text here, hopefully it helps out someone in a similar situation.

P.S. Now if I could only figure out how to properly flash Magisk...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ty_Bower:
I have an old Alfawise H96 Pro+. Amlogic S912, 3GB DDR4, 32 GB eMMC. Gigabit LAN, QCA9377 dual-band wifi and BT chip. It ran the factory ROM for a very long time (Android 7.1.2, 20180409 build date) but I've had good luck with slimBOXtv on other devices.

In the official slimBOXtv site, I found only images for H96 boxes with LPDDR, which mine does not have. I found the Beelink GT1 Ultimate (sbx_beelink_gt1u_qca9377_aosp_9_13) which seems to have remarkably similar hardware as my H96. Installed it using the USB Burning Tool (v2.x) and it booted without incident. Wifi works, HDMI works, Bluetooth works. I need to test the gigabit LAN port and the IR remote functions.

I'm interested in your comments, especially if a more suitable ROM can be recommended.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ecffg2010:
Android 7 and 9 use different extensions for the remote control files, so not sure if you can just change the extension and reuse those files. Other people might know more. I had the luck of noticing the first flashed SBX 9 had the remote control working, so replacing the files was easy afterwards.

Also, has anyone seen a custom ROM using Android 11 as a base for S922X? Tried looking around, but no luck. Seems like S905x4 (and some others) and S928X only got Android 11.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] n.p.:
No, I think you have completely gone down the wrong path (not a system app).

I have looked at the error message again, and (after many more hours of work) have concluded that the cause of this comes from the lack of the User Dictionary (system package com.android.providers.userdictionary) in slimBOXtv 9.13. I recall that version 9.12 did contain this package (the string does appear in the ROM image).

I would like to humbly request the inclusion (or possibly the return) of the User Dictionary system package in slimBOXtv 9.14 (or earlier via a patch).

Yes, after my last post, I downloaded a previous slimBOXtv ROM (for the same device), extracted the User Dictionary.apk, and just installed it as a user app. The keyboard app appears to work perfectly now (no longer crashes, appears as configured, and accepts input).

I still don't know why one of the core system packages would get dropped from slimBOXtv.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] sesdave:
Why are you trying to flash it again - wont boot after flash probably wrong firmware and bricked ?

Burning tool 2.2 for X, X3 boxes 3.2.x for X4 boxes. Which is yours - X, X3 or X4 ? which model ? - was the correct version of firmware flashed for your specific make/model /version of box? There a lot to chose from. If not the correct firmware for your specific box /version its easy to brick it and then burning tool is unlikely to recognise it after flashing as different versions for the same box have different components. There are previous posts on how to try unbrick boxes by shorting pins or google it. Good luck

Anyone know why the keyboard on Air Mouse isn't working? I have one of those generic 2.4G USB Air Mouse Remote Control that has a keyboard on the back, and this is the first ROM where it isn't registering any key. The Back button also only works when the mouse is activated. Using Slimbox 54 MOD version for Beelink GT King Pro.

The Air Mouse keyboard works fine on stock Ugoos AM6B+ firmware and on Slimbox 9 H96 Pro+, hence my question.

try selecting leanback keyboard in settings - might work . did for me when I found the AOSP wouldnt popup when I selected to type on search on a few of my X96X10 boxes with a Q5 air gyro mouse with latest slim version AOSP firmware.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ecffg2010:
Thanks for the suggestion, but no luck. The arrow keys seem to be working, but no dice on the letters. Guessing it's something related to key mapping, probably gonna need remapping manually. One person mentioned using Multilanguage Keymap Redefiner app, so will probably take a look at it.

* Are you using a sound-bar or surround receiver?

* Firmware also makes a difference.

Ex. My China Box Beelink GT -King Pro processes surround sound differently with VLC, Vimu , and MxPlayer. (other players are lackluster :rolleyes: )

- Sbx v9 (based on Factory firmware) works well.

- Sbx v54 (based on Ugoos) pass-through is borked -both China Box and 7.2 receiver try to control sound/volume etc. at the same time... ( :oops:)

* Make sure pass-through is selected in setup

* Test sound samples with VLC and Vimu programs. Neither play all samples properly, but, they are the best to play surround sound! (configure audio settings).

Is there any mention of issues on the Minix forums(if they still have one?).
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ddogishere:
Minix abandoned their media players a year ago, that's why slimbox is one of my last options. Coreelec is ok but all my used apps are android based, is why I'm desperate for slimbox to fix the issue.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Reaper Man:
Do you have a receiver that handles Dolby Vision? (Mine does not)

Your receiver may handle the info from the Minix, opposed to your T.V. not interpreting the proper info?

Just in case people stumble upon a similar problem:

Beelink GT1 original 2/32GB LTM8830 SN S912.... Board Revision 20160831

Wanted to switch over to SlimboxTV.

Tried the 9.13/9.14 variants of GT1 Ultimate (Both) and Ugoo AM3 (similar Specs).

Same symptoms as above as DDRs didnt seem to match.

Working combination:

The 4 relevant porting files (aml_sdc_burn.UBOOT, UBOOT.USB, bootloader.PARTITION, DDR.USB)

from "My_edit_sbx_beelink_gt1_qca9377_atv_9_6.7z" which i found on 4pda repackaged in Slimbox TV 9.14 AM3 "sbx_ugoos_am3_atv_9_14.zip".

WiFi works, Bluetooth works, LAN works - only the original remote doesnt work.

The only working MaskROM PINs were bottom side of the KLMBG4GEAC-B001 eMMC
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ddogishere:
No, tv is final destination so whether it's connected direct or through receiver it does not make a difference, the main thing is box need to process dolby vision properly and on max-slimboxtv is not.

By the way have you contacted slimbox/ slimhouse?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Reaper Man:
LOL , No. (He does not know me, unlike the hundreds that spam him/forum everyday).

I suggest to try one of the mod versions on the web site. (Firmware/system is not

the same as regular Sbx??):unsure:

As you know, Sbx firmware is based on the original Factory firmwares. If the original is broken... likely the Sbx firmware (skinning / tweaks) will have same core problems.
