[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] jordan9302:
maybe it is New hardware!

X96Max_Plus2_T_20210426-2030
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] CrimsonRid:
I've installed it without any problems on the A95X F3 Air, latest version from the link, sbx_a95x_f3_air_atv_v11_4

It seems solid, but one issue I have is sound. I have JellyFin installed, but unless I downmix to stereo, no sound is available. It's connected via HDMI to the Samsung UE48H8000, it should, in theory, work.

Could this be an issue with the ROM, or is the box not capable of driving 5.1 sound or is it something else?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Vandetta187:
Where's the archive link to that version Slimbox 11.4? I think I have a new variant of the A95X F3 Air. I opened it and the wifi is WT6354. All the other A95X F3 Air boxes I received in the past were the RTK versions but I can't get the wifi or Bluetooth to work. Not even installing the factory firmware restores the wifi. The firmware that came with these boxes I ordered is from April 2021

Hi,

I have the Beelink Mini Mxiii (s905x chipset) and I followed the link to the page https://slimboxtv.ru/glavnaya/magicsee-n5/ where there are 4 different firmware:

SHSTOK-N5_ver2.zip

SHROM-N5_ver2.zip

GoogleTV_V1.zip

AndroidTV_N5.zip

which one is the correct for my TvBox ?

Thanks :)

Looks bricked to me. Wrong version of rom for version of X96 max plus - there are numerous now. I had same problem - reflashed with standard x96 max plus rom didnt fix it but the stuck screen showed x96 so I returned as defective for refund.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] sigma7777777:
@sesdave yesterday I went back to the almost original firmware, because I decided to update, and the suggestion for this weird version of my X96 Max Plus is to use the firmware of a 2GB ram model (X96Max_Plus_20200901-1449). It worked, but it was limited to these 2Gb of ram... Mine is the first one:

My goal is to be able to install EmuElec, which doesn't boot. Even using this firmware, I still haven't had success. It appears that the TV Box has its external boot locked. I already tried to install with SD Card and USB stick.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] awibabau:
How do you know that your x96 max plus isn't actually one of those fake and sold as 4GB/32GB when actually it's the 2GB/16GB all along?

At first you won't notice that even with a slimbox ROM (if you don't erase bootloader). But when you install slimbox ROM erasing bootloader you will see if your x96 Max Plus is indeed 4GB or the fake one...

Everything works as it should. I just have one problem. My remote control is written in Cyrillic. How to change it?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] sesdave:
X96 Max plus was a box I used as my go to - great price and perforamce with 1GB ethernet . Since the boys in china started playing with versions and whats on board I dropped it. I recommend an HK1 BOX with the 1GB ethernet till they start play with the HW specs of that too. as I found out Slimbox Vontar X3 rom work great on that as does the box after install. The performance for a cheap box its as good as I have used - and it is very cheap for what it is - at the moment. Doesn't unfortunately help you with your current box but its a great alternative for a 4GB/64Gb - 1Gb ethernet s905x3 box. it also pretty small format and looks quite cool. Nice colour says my GF. If u do buy and flash unlike others it the USB 2 port you connect for burning tool. In settings I had to enable devloper/USB debugging before PC picked it up by the way. Also recommend flash Amlogic burning tool from PC with dual USB cable . Never failed for me on any box
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] CrimsonRid:
Truth there. For ancient and new boxen.

Can anybody tell me if the A95X F3 Air can output 5.1 audio over HDMI?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gbox23:
I've currently installed this on the s905x2 (t95q both version atv and pie), when I use a VPN client on it, the speed is incredibly slow. Is there a tweak for this? original firmware allows me full speed the vpn provides (upto 500mbps on this rom I get 30-40 max).

thanks

Hi friend

anyone can help me and tel me the steps to short pin my x96 max plus2.i find the 2 pin but Not sure of the correct way to do this
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] sesdave:
This should hopefully help - the highlighted pins in Green on the 4/64 hard to see in the pic. Use a small test circuit screwdriver to connect the pins for shorting to mask rom mode. Might be worth trying this first that worked for one poster using burning tool. Load the Img -hit start on box push in the reset in AV- connect USB from PC and release. Leave then after about 5 minutes his box came up as HUB and firmware restored. You never know - if not back to maskrom method

Hello all,

It would be great if there could be a Slimbox version for the H96 Max X2 with S905x2 soc or if anyone could point me to a suitable Slimbox firmware for that box.

I tried a port made for the HK1 Plus but a few things weren't working great.

Thanks in advance.

My box wasn't recognized by the computer when the cable was direct from the computer to the box. I found if I used a USB 3 hub plugged into the computer and from there to the box it worked perfectly.

I just followed the slimbox UBT instructions, load firmware file, click the start button then connect cable, it started immediately.

I flashed my x96 max plus 3 times with different slimbox firmwares and each time the computer recognizes the device, but now I cannot flash it because the computer does not recognize it. I want to ask you if your method can solve the problem or no
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Rainey222:
No, if your computer recognize the box previously it should still recognize the box now. Either something's changed on the computer or on the box. Make sure you're using USB 3 ports and make sure the driver is installed on the computer.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] 28285217:
I think that there is something that has changed in my box because I tried with 2 or 3 computers and they ended up not recognizing it ... also I tried with short the 2 pins and the same problem,did not recognize the device. I used burn card maker but the device turn on immediately.

what should i do now 😟😟
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Rainey222:
I suggest you look for threads about un bricking your type of box. I've read some reports that if you have a stock ROM and you load it into UTB and connect it to the box and just let it sit for like 10 minutes sometimes it will start the flashing process. Good luck.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] 28285217:
Think you friend for your help
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] looking335:
I have an X96 Max Plus. It is the one with the 100 Mb Ethernet port. I was able to flash project SLIMBOX. I have never flashed using Amlogic Burning Tool. I flashed using a microSD card, where the image was created using Amlogic Burn Card Maker. You could try that method. If it doesn't turn on immediately, you, more than likely, flashed the wrong version. I had this happen.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] 28285217:
I have a x96 max plus2 and I check it by opening it. I can flashed it with three differnts firmwares (10.5; 10.6; 10.7)4GB ram. after when I want to flash it with 11.3,11.4 and 11.5 the computer no longer recognizes it using USB. I tried with burn card maker, on the screen is mentioned upgrading for a moment then the device turn on immediatly with the slimbox logo and nothing was changed.so i decid to short the tow pins and the problem stil exist(the computer doesn't recogniz the device)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] looking335:
When you saw the Firmware Upgrading message, did the green bar go all the way to the right? You said "the screen is mentioned upgrading for a moment then the device turn on immediately". I do not have Plus2 but I would not think the upgrade would be a quick process. So, if you turn on the X96, it displays the slimbox logo and will not go any further? Again, I have never connected my X96 to a computer but it sounds like you have 2 problems--i.e. the X96 will not boot properly and your computer no longer recognizes the X96. I would suggest focusing on getting the X96 to boot properly and save the computer issue for later. It sounds like you can boot the X96 so stick with using the microSD mention.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] 28285217:

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] asegura074:
this is the procedure is very tricky

FIRST with the unpluged usb from PC

1 Open the Amlogic Burning Tool

2 select the image you wish to burn and load it

3 Hit Start

Here is the tricky part SHORT the point in the picture to GND then while still holding the short , connect the usb cable to the pc in his moment it will start to burn the img, release the short inmediatly

Same problem here but don't know why. My device is a95x f3 air with unrooted slimbox 11.5 version.

I haven't met with same issue before, until last weekend. I don't remember that I've changed any settings which might related recently. And before this happened, I've been already using Viper for a couple months. I thought that it might not have business with Viper.

Do anyone still face the same problem now? Are there any other possible solutions? I'm not very expecting but still hoping someone could help for fixing it.

Thanks anyway.

I have an A95x F3 Air. I installed the firmware twice, once the ATV 11_4 version and second the ATV 11_6 version.

In the 11_4 version, the optical S/PDIF passthrough works fine in Plex, but not in JellyFin.

In the 11_7 version, the optical S/PDIF passthrough does not work at all

In the 11_4 version in the sounds settings of the device itself, I can select the interface

In the 11_7 version I can select the protocols

Also, on the 11_4 versio, Netflix refused to run.

I am trying to install SlimBox 11.6 on an A95X F3 SLIM using USB Burning Tool V2.2.0. According to the instruction, you are supposed to copy the SECURE_BOOT_SET file to the license folder, which I did. However, I don't see the file showing in the Key(Overwrite) window, which is an indication something is not proper. When I start the burning, it stops at 7% with [0x32030201]Uboot/Get result/DiskInitial error. Has anyone else had luck with A95X F3? How do you get secure_boot_set to show in the window?

X96 Max plus2 flash steps using amlogic burning tool - done this many times on mine. Latest version - https://rootmydevice.com/download-amlogic-usb-burning-tool/

First check setting device name - make sure you have the correct img for your version. There are many now. If wrong img you will brick it . On x96 - In developer check USB debugging enabled. Make sure you installed drivers on PC when you installed latest burning tool. Start burning tool - load the img file - once loaded hit start button in burning tool. Connect dual USB cable to PC . On X96 no power cable - with a toothpick with point cut off press in reset button in the AV slot - keep pressed. Connect dual USB cable to x96 USB 3 slot. Release reset after a few seconds. Buring tool should then recognise device and start flashing firmware. When burning tool progress bar 100% turns green hit stop disconnect USB cable. If completed successfully once up and running suggest install malwarebytes and run it. Me and another user found a trojan in versions 11.5 and 11.6. Malwarebytes detects it and removes it.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Rainey222:
The short answer is you shouldn't try it. Depending if you're going from 9 to 11 or just from 10. 4 to 10. 7 makes a difference. But if you do want to do it before you flash your box you uncheck the erase the flash check mark in USB burning tool.

But there's been major changes to what software is included in slimbox firmware just this year and is recommended you start from scratch when loading the firmware some even recommend you do a reset on the box before you flash the new firmware just to be safe.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Vandetta187:
I am using v2.1.8 although I think it only works with the v2 series of usb burning tool.

I've setup a lot of these a95x f3 air units, but recently in April there was a hardware revision. I brought it to the developer's attention but I guess not many people have encountered that error. This should be the most popular s905x3 box though: https://androidpctv.com/review-a95x-f3-opinion/

Anyway try burn card maker instead. Uncheck erase bootloader on burn card maker and the flash file you create should work.

Otherwise, the secure boot file should work on usb burning tool. I get an error at 99% stating that the key can not be used more than once, but the box boots up fine.

The only issue you might have is that your wifi and bluetooth may not work if you have a box manufactured after April 2021.

Also I scanned with malwarebytes as another user recommended:

There are 5 files that were found. Is this a false positive? I removed them anyway.
