Just installed the 14.1 version on my HK1 S905X3 (Gbit variant).

First impressions is that the option to underclock the CPU when playing videos is really helpful to keep the temperature low. Above 80º C the tvbox tends to freeze.

Before installing this version I had to put two trident gum boxes below the tvbox, so the air could flow beneath it and the box wouldn't freeze after playing 4K videos for too long...

@SlimHouse a humble suggestion, if a future version of the pie rom had advanced reboot options that included reboot to recovery, it might make magisk work for boxes that don't have a ramdisk and need to patch their recovery instead.

also on the latest pie version for x96max plus2 4gb clicking on reboot brings up a message that it's factory resetting the box. I nearly screamed at 4am when I saw this. it just reboots though. thanks!!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] LITUATUI:
Indeed. That message of factory reset is scary.

I need some help please...I purchased an Alfawise H96 pro plus and just found this thread.

Want to flash slimbox to it, but having trouble choosing which rom/files.

Its a 3GB DDR3 (hynix ram) and 32 GB storage

Model T92 v1.016445 according pcb

Have been searching slimboxtv website and only shows 2 options : 2GB/16 green board and 3/32 blue board.

As you can see mine is 3/32 and green.....so which to choose exactly?

Can someone point me in the right direction please?

Much thx

Hi

I have a Yoka TV KB2 (not Pro) S912 chip, that i have just flashed through with (difficulty) the burning tool.

Also couldnt get the flashing done with an sdcard for some reason. The box couldnt mount the sd. Yet it was in ExFat system (tired in FAT32 as well) and prepared with "burn card maker" prog. No way to get it to work...

But With "Burning Tool" Once flashed (in 4minutes) it worked great. Even Wifi, 2GB DDR3 RAM, which was not working in the Aidan ROM 8.

I had to get aptoide installed to get the other apps installed that Google play store would not allow me to install.

For Ex, firefox browser, popcorn time etc.

But it all works like a charm now.

So thanks a lot for the great work. I was stuck with my old Android 6.0 with the stock ROM.

Keep up the good work, and again thanks for helping the community !

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Streamtvnow:
Hi which burning tool did you use?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] sam tyler:
I use version 3.1 remember there are two versions for the YOKA TV KB2/MECOOL BB2 one is for the 2gb ram version (non pro) and the DDR4 3gb ram version (pro) when I use the burning tool, I load the firmware first, at the bottom of the USB burning tool it should say what firmware you have installed, place one end of the USB A cable to your computer, press start on the USB burning tool screen, then put a toothpick in the reset hole then place the other end of the USB A cable into the first USB port nearest the back of the box, on the USB b.t. screen in should say connection success wait a few seconds then release the toothpick from reset hole and (hopefully) should load the firmware to the box (this bit may take time) when it's finished loading the firmware to the box, it should say successful (the banner will turn green) when you see this then pull the USB A cable from the box and then press stop. but remember make sure you use the right firmware for your box hopefully you should know how many gb of ram your box has, as on your post you said you have the 2gb of ram version or you will brick it.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Streamtvnow:
I've been using usb burn tool 3.1 and select 2gb/16gb but have the 32 gb like u. then i trip the pins to pick up the box in burn tool.

Both are 905w.

Would depend on version of WiFi Chip..? 🤷‍♂️

According to user:shoooter13 on 4pda.

sbx_tx3mini_pie_14 will install.

No info if WiFi/Bluetooth work

Remote control will likely need modified files.

Just wow! I have two x92 boxes, 2gb and 3gb. After a million failed attempts with the SD method, I discovered that the only thing I was doing wrong was to format the card as exFat, as instructed. Fat32 did the trick. The first attempt failed after a few seconds, and on the second attempt the upgrade was completed. The exact same thing happened on each box. Now my boxes are twice as fast, and they don't feel outdated anymore.

any tutorial how to update in recovery mod ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] lukesan:
Another 'victim'. I had the idea of installing the latest image and then checking for an update. (didn't erase flash etc so I would not have to start from scratch).

So I check and see 'update 14.6' and it says that it is in the downloads folder and you have to use recovery. So I booted in recovery and searched and searched. I could not install a zip file from the internal memory.

I then formated everything, meaning start from scratch, and guess, still not able to install the update in the recovery.

You have to go to settings -> slimboxtv settings -> installing patch and then select the patch and confirm.

As I am typing this it just booted with the 14.6 and I can start all over again for my programs and settings.

I've got the X96 Max Plus2 4gig version and I concur. I went from 14 to 14.5. Then used the OTA updater to update to 14.6 automatically. It went smoothly. On a side note, 14.6 wasn't an available download option, only 14.5. Slimbox is becoming smoother and more refined. Gotta donate as soon as funds allow.

USB plugging already turn on the device ..

I've got all required s/w and backups ready.. thanks..

Now according to https://telegra.ph/Instructions-for-installing-firmware-via-UBT-09-12

But wait a minute...

the moment i connected the USB from pc to the box... the box boot up ! :confused:

It's taking power from the usb port from notebook... and i can see it boot up completely even before i turn on the power.

( The clock changes from 00:00 to the correct timezone ). Which made it seems impossible for me to go to update mode...

any hints ?

Thanks.

EDIT : Tried holding the reset button, then plug USB cable..

USB Burning Tool ( with firmware loaded and start button pressed ) still doesn't show anything detected..

and x96 box still went to "boot" and shows clock.

Is the sdcard method safe ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] zpower:
I installed mine by SDcard method
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] thyaguster:
Also make sure you're using the correct box usb port. Should be the usb 3.0 one.

But just go with sdcard, it's easy and clean. I never used cable method because I didn't have it and got used to sdcard method; never had an issue.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
Of course the sd card method is another option to install custom firmware, but I think it is good practice to always have a USB-A/USB-A cable available. It is also good practice, before you try to install any custom firmaware, to first know the use of USB Burning Tool and maybe the pins to connect in case you ever brick your box.

Guide for using USB burning tool 2.2.0.

Requirements. Male to male usb cable and common sense.

1. Download necessary files here. [MENTION=8336213]s90[/MENTION]5x3 on telegram.

2. Turn off your antivirus. Make sure all other usb peripherals are disconnected.(even disconnect the mouse if you can use laptop touchpad. No experience with pc though.)

3. Extract and install UBT. (A dialogue to install drivers must popup and install successfully.) Restart laptop. Search youtube on language change of app if its not english.

4. Now add your firmware .img file in UBT. ( i disable check img coz it takes lot of time but its a personal preference.)

5. Untick the option erase bootloader. Erase flash should be kept ticked especially if previous rom is not slimbox. If it is you may experiment with keeping flash of previously installed slimbox.

6. Click start.

7. Now connect your box without power supply with the male to male cable.if all is well within 120 seconds flashing should start.

8. If it doesnt press stop button. Disconnect cable. Press start again. And now connect but this time into another usb port of the box. (Only one of the usb ports supports flash afaik.) Flash must start within 120 seconds.

9. If 7 and 8 dont work you can try pressing reset pin and connecting power supply to flash .( my t96z s905x3, vontar x3 flashed without power supply)

10. If all goes well flash will complete 100 percent. Connect box to tv first boot takes time. Check if wifi bluetooth is working.

P.S. Do consider buying me a beer if this guide helped.

Can we have TWRP AML SlimHouse 3.4.0_3 in img so we dont have to keep re-flashing from stock recovery ?

Thanks.

---------- Post added at 08:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 PM ----------

If you can manage to risk loosing your installation,

I suggest reinstall from clean.. reboot once, do not activate root at all.

Then reboot to stock recovery from power menu, run TWRP ( "install update" from ext -> your sdcard ).

Then go to those steps above one by one.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] schoenchen:
without root I can't get into recovery via the power menu.
