I almost completely agree with you. Making a "homemade" cable is the best (and quickest) option. There is nothing "dangerous" in it. The worst thing that may happen is that it will NOT function.

The only thing I have an objection is the length. It must be no more than 15-20 cm for best results (otherwise you may get the "low power" message in UBT);).
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] thyaguster:
I can easily imagine someone using cheap cables (those that look like they have 3 strands of hair as a conductor) and snapping them apart easily with any movement.

Like I said, I'm not suggesting people not to do it. I did the same, wouldn't buy a cable when I save every cable exactly for this diy stuff. But I've fixed enough stuff to know that things can go wrong and how flimsy sometimes wires are.

My point was mostly to create a discussion with suggestions; like what you said "use fat cables because they have larger (stronger) conductors".

And yes, a cable made properly from two old printer cables it will be 1000% better than any chinese cable.

PS to post above: The worst thing that can happen is actually it breaks during flash and it kills your box. I would definitely call that dangerous. If the worse was a not-working cable I wouldn't even point any thing to his suggestion.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
There are many ways to "brick" your box. The most common way is by burning the wrong firmware and not "palying" with the cable while you are installing your firmware.

So anyway, before you even try to change/install another firmware you

must know

the 2 pins to short and revive your box.

People are using homemade USB-A/USB-A cables for years.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] clarkss12:
I have dozens of these Amlogic boxes, and have flashed hundreds of times, in the last six or seven years. Never have I ever bricked one that I could not bring back to life....

A couple of days ago, I tried to flash my Beelink GS King X with a different firmware, but the Amlogic Burning Tool kept getting errors..... Tried several times, but no go, even trying different ROMs....

Finally, I tried a different tool version and then it flashed right away. It seams that different devices need a different Tool version.

I ALWAYS use my homemade cable.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] thyaguster:
Didn't say it was common, only that it can happen. Take from that what you want. I just wanted to warn people of the risks.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] clarkss12:
Agreed, that shorter cables are better, do to voltage drop on the higher resistance of the longer cords. However, Since I use "heavier" cables, I have NEVER had an issue, and I have been using my home made cable for years. Besides, I am lazy and have never taken the time to shorten it up......

X96MAX plus

I have x96max plus with 2g/16 i'm thinking to install atv slimbox .who is tried it ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Master One:
Oh wow, I'm such a newb. :confused:

So I have just successfully installed SLIMBOX AOSP together with CoreELEC (dual boot) on my new X96 Air P3 4/64G and now I'm wondering, how to easily mount an ext4 formated USB hard disk in SLIMBOX.

Everything is working just fine in CoreELEC, but in SLIMBOX it just says "Unsupported SAMSUNG USB Drive" and offers to format it for extra TV box or portable storage.

How is that best being dealt with?

I have connected a cheap no-name USB camera with built-in microphone and installed the Zoom Cloud Meeting app. Video is working, but the microphone not (the other participant can only hear a buzzing noise).

Is there something missing that prevents the microphone to work?

Version 9 seems exceptionally fast on TX5 plus when compared with 8.3.2. I am curious if it overclocks the processor, or is it just the additional speed of animation transitions.

TorrServe TV and NUM

Hi thanks for the great rom.

I installed on an X96 Max V311 4/64 no problem except my wireless I8 keyboard has a few keys i need to remap it seems

the Back or ESC key dose not take me back when going through the menus, but the right mouse key dose.

When i go into setting, More setting, System, Languages & Input - It shows Physical Keyboard - Not connected

But the keyboard works. In the other rom's i have use this keyboard showed up here.

I see some pre installed apps i never seen before and not finding any info about them.

If this is not allowed then please delete this post.

NUM

TorrServe TV

Titanium Backup

To name a few, I searched this thread but found no one talking about them.

Anyways since the NUM app is built into the home screen not sure i can uninstall it safely?

I think it shows link to torrents? I don't normally use torrents. It put rows of movies posters on the main screen.

Do i need my VPN? or is this part of TorrServe TV and is that using the TOR network or is that for torrents?

Can these two apps be uninstalled if i am not using them, maybe i should install my VPN to try them but torrents are not my thing on the TV.

Backups

I normally use TWRP to do full backups. Never heard of Titanium Backup. Will this do full backups that could be used to restore the whole box or is this limited in any ways to the TWRP backups.

hi, i want to give a try to slimbox with my x96max+ 4/64 because i started to have strange bluetooth problems with stock rom (latest version 2020-09). i want to know if i won't like slim box, is it easy to go back to stock with like factory reset or so? thanks.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] sesdave:
I see that the last few X4 roms will dirty flash but get stuck on logo screen on boot - well at least for me with the Vontar X4 one on my HK1 X4s from 16.5 onwards. Good in many ways as should always clean flash - pain in others as have to set it up again every time. . Latest now 16.7 - updates coming very quickly which is great. If it wasnt mainly for Slimbox roms the X4 wouldnt be a lot of fun on its stock rom. Can only give a big thanks to the developer for his work.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kulica:
Hi, I installed slimbox aosp 16.7 on my x96 x4 and Magisk seems to be broken, it doesn't install itself upon opening the app. I downgraded down to 16.4.7 as that's the version I have on my other x96 x4 where it seems to work fine. So somewhere in between 16.4.7 and 16.7 this got broken.

P.S. is there a way to install these updates without clean flashing images all the time
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] sesdave:
16,7 - same on Vonatar X4 version installed on HK1. I did following on

Magisk - uninstall it - downloaded latest version - installed - reboot - works. No OTA so the recommened way is clean install. Worth it for the rom - little bit of work for a good system.

Update - just flashed another box. After setting up account etc I opened magisk then rebooted box. Worked - no reinstall was required

It's so unfortunate that S905Y2 SOC has very little support in terms of released ROMs, I can't find much info about it.

Not likely

You would have to build your own.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kulica:
Not sure how much it's worth updating then. Clean install takes probably an hour to setup everything again. If there is a super duper fancy new feature it's maybe worth otherwise I'll just stick to 16.4.7 for now
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] bigorbi:
Actually the only reason I wanted to upgrade to a new rom is to be able to install all the APK files I wanted to install. Because currently I have Oreo 8.1 rom and most APK files doesn't support Oreo, mostly minimum Android Pie is required. Except that I'm very happy with this box, it's quite fast. Maybe I'll check S922x boxes , thanks for your replies friend.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] sesdave:
And anther X4 rapid update

slimBOXtv 16.9 (Android 11)

Changes:

• Added a working version of Atv Remote Service

• Disconnected from the update in the market Atv Remote Service and Google splash screen

16.8 I dirty flashed from 16.7 OK - will try the same with this one and clean flash at some future point if sucessful. Not the recommended route which is clean flash every time but saves me work lol
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] raruba:
Yeah, I did a dirty flash on my x98 max x4 and the transpeed x4, both worked great. No need for clean flash....AWESOME
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] raruba:
I see he took down the v053.1 for the 922 x88 King...its good he did because it really messed up my X88 King...went back to the v042.9, works good. And also took down the v053.1 for the BeeLink GT King, I use the SlimBox 15.4.1 on it.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] raruba:
Wow after checking he took down all the v053.1 firmware, wonder why???
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kulica:
Any instructions on how you dirty flash? Do you need TWRP?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] sesdave:
Use USB burning tool on PC - load image - untick erase flash. Hit start - hold down reset button on box with toothpick or opened paper clip- connect to box using dual USB cable to (USB 2 port on HK1 X4) - count to 10 release reset. A dirty flash retains all the data and apps that have been loaded.

If you are on an older version than 16.7 its likely you will need a clean flash as dirty will flash ok but you may be stuck on boot screen. Clean flash is the recommended way to ensure no hidden errors. I am just lazy as Slim is releasing updates quicker than I can clean flash all my boxes lol

Tried all variations of my box Transpeed X4 and none of the images seem to load.

The process fails because I'm getting thrown to the android recovery menu. Still can't crack this nut. At this point, I would pay someone to do it for me....

I had the same problem when I first tried to flash it failed and then wouldn't connect to PC would keep going to recovery. I had to choose wipe device in recovery then let the device boot. Then it would connect to PC and image would flash. If your device has never connected to PC that might not help you.

Can't find any info if upgrading with an SD-Card is actually possible.

Spent a good few hours trying to get the upgrade going with an SD, but I'm always redirected to recovery mode. Can't install the Zip cause the installer says "Wrong header" on the zip file during the Flash.

Are you holding the reset button down when you plug the USB into the Box - count to about 10 then release? HK1 its the USB 2 other boxes might be the USB 3 to use to connect
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] raruba:
You need to use USB Burning Tool v3.1, X4's only work on this version, it will not work on any other versions. I have the Transpeed x4 and it worked great v16.9, anfd yeah make sure you try the usb 2 and usb3...I'm pretty sure its the one on the corner.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] DjGeNeSiS:
I did try that yeah. Problem is i didn't even hear the sound of the USB connecting so I may be doing something wrong here. The device doesn't even show up on my USB device list at all. I will try again with a different laptop and a different USB cable. One thing i didn't try was connecting the power adapter on the box along with the USB cable.

Thanks for the info. I used v3.2 from the slimbox page but got no love. I'll try again with v3.1. Did you have to hold the reset button on your Transpeed X4 to set it to download mode or just plugged the USB in and the firmware started uploading right away?

Edit: has anyone tried the flash with the SD-CARD method at all? Does anyone know if it's supposed to work?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] raruba:
You have got to click start on the usb burning tool, then hold the reset button in while plugging in the usb cable...should start within 10 seconds
