Hello, thank you very much for answer.

I have followed the following steps.

1. I have flashed the stock firmware aml_7.1.2_s912_q9377-S912_XGO_LP_mac-20180409.img again with USB_Burning_Tool_v2.2.0 on the H96 Pro+. With Erase Flash (Erase All) and Erase Bootloader enabled.

2. I have booted the H96 Pro+ to check that everything was working fine. It has booted successfully and everything works fine.

3. I have created a folder vtx_kitchen_v5.1_RomStock_7.1.2 with the files vtx_kitchen_v5.1 inside, placed in the "in" folder the file aml_7.1.2_s912_q9377-S912_XGO_LP_mac-20180409.img and extracted level 1 with _unpack_level1.bat.

4. I have created another folder vtx_kitchen_v5.1_sbx_14.9 with the files vtx_kitchen_v5.1 inside, placed in the "in" folder the file sbx_h96_pro_plus_3_32_lpddr_pie_14_9.img and extracted level 1 with _unpack_level1.bat.

5. I copied the bootloader.PARTITION, DDR.USB and UBOOT.USB files from the vtx_kitchen_v5.1_RomStock_7.1.2\level1 folder and pasted them into the vtx_kitchen_v5.1_sbx_14.9\level1 folder, overwriting the existing ones.

6. I have rebuilt level 1 in the folder vtx_kitchen_v5.1_sbx_14.9 (_pack_level1.bat), generating the file out\sbx_h96_pro_plus_3_32_lpddr_pie_14_9.img

7. I loaded the new firmware from out\sbx_h96_pro_plus_3_32_lpddr_pie_14_9.img with USB_Burning_Tool_v2.2.0, disabled Erase bootloader and left Enabled Erase flash (Normal erase), pressed Start and burned successfully.

8. I have started the H96 Pro+ and the result has changed something, the slimboxtv logo appears, but it remains blocked (I have left it for 30 minutes), the difference is that now it blocks and with the original rom sbx_h96_pro_plus_3_32_lpddr_pie_14_9.img it restarts after about 50/60 seconds. I have carried out some tests in this sense and I observe that with stock bootloader it is blocked and with sbx bootloader it restarts.

I think the problem is the dtbo.PARTITION or _aml_dtb.PARTITION file for something that I will explain in a separate post, but I don't have any dtbo.PARTITION that works on my H96 Pro+ and if I replace the _aml_dtb.PARTITION then the USB_Burning_Tool doesn't burn the image, it gives the error [0x30402004]UBOOT/Partition dtbo/Initialize partition/Error result.

I don't think it's a problem with the device or the power supply, I've tried others with more amps, I've tried more than 10 roms with Android 7.1.2 and it works correctly, but I wanted to update to a more current system.

My opinion with these steps is that I am not doing anything about the atv firmware, which is where I think my problem is. Disabling the Erase bootloader keeps the stock bootloader and the DDR.USB and UBOOT.USB files only act to initialize the hardware and be able to install the firmware with USB_Burning_Tool or the analogous if done with microSD, that is, they are volatile and once turned off the device disappear from the device. In my case, the original sbx rom was already burning fine for me, so these steps I don't see as being useful for my problem.

Greetings.

Hello, I put some tests that I have carried out regarding the problem of restarts in bootlogo.

Comment that I did tests with several 3A power supplies and I also made an adapter to get a direct cable from the computer's power supply to 5v 5A, but the result is the same, it keeps restarting after the initial logo.

After 1000 tests with different signatures through trial and error, I have observed the following.

In the tests I have downloaded some firmware 7.1.2 that burned without problem and supposedly they were for my model, but they stayed blocked in the initial logo. In these firmware, replacing only the _aml_dtb.PARTITION file with a firmware file that does boot well (stock, Frank_3.5_AOSP_7.1.2_64Bit_s912_Ampac_WIFI_TO_Pro_3.32_2020.06.16_LPDDR3.img) I get them to work, that is, the system boots completely, although there are things that don't work, leds, original remote, etc., depending on the firmware, but the latter doesn't worry me since it's only for testing and to solve them, it's to try to find out where the problem is because Android 9 won't load. In this way I have ported, for example, to ULTRA_Xperience_LP.img, which was blocked in the initial logo and after replacing the file it starts completely.

All this makes me think that the problem I have with restarts after the initial logo, in Android 9, is due to the fact that the _aml_dtb.PARTITION file that the firmwares have are not compatible with my device. The problem is that if I replace _aml_dtb.PARTITION with the stock one, then USB Burning Tool gives the error, [0x30402004]UBOOT/Partition dtbo/Initialize partition/Error result and doesn't burn the image.

I have seen information to do the DTB myself, but I find it too complicated and I am not sure I can do it with the information that there is.

If anyone has an idea to fix it, it would be welcome.

Thanks a lot.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Reaper Man:
Wow, you are studiously following the proper steps. :geek:

( I thought Frank v3.5 was not supported for H96 Pro+.

v3.3 **** Soft-Bricked my H96 Pro+ v5 **** )

You will have errors with _aml_dtb.PARTITION if you copy Android 7 to Android 9.

They are not compatible (same reasons why old TWRP 7 does not work for Android 9).

Which you probably know. :unsure:

Amlogic Tool(v6?) will allow you to make changes to DTB.

(4pda had a forum editing of _aml_dtb.PARTITION...I lost the links long ago :cautious: ).

A: If I understand, you wish to take TWRP Android 6 back-up and apply onto Android 9? Any direct application I think is unlikely.

B: Make a factory style Android 6 firmware out of your old Android 6 TWRP????

C: Trying to recover images, bookmarks or passwords etc. from TWRP?

*A: VTX Kitchen or Amlogic tools are directed towards decompiling Level 1-2-3 of Android Firmware.

TWRP back-up and its compression( data.ext4.win 000,001,002...)

Extensions are Tar archived(?). If a partition is split across multiple files, each Tar is it's own full archive.(Google info). New Tar decompression is not compatble with old TAR archives(?).

Extracting data from a TWRP backup

How can I extract individual files from a backup created with TWRP? I’ve come across this answer, which is about extracting an APK from the system partition. However, I want to extract files from /...

android.stackexchange.com

B:??

*C: Flash your same-type China Box with Android 6 and Apply TWRP back-up. Use Titanium Back-up (No compression setting) to back-up your apks(obsolete) and data. Secondary back-up made with AppBackup Pro (just in case) copy all to S.D. card.

Apply apks and data to new China Box- obsolete may need to be updated before data is applied

**Topic is out of the scope of the forum and very far from any skill I have.** ;)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kalehrl:
Thank you for your extensive reply. I was thinking of just making an amlogic image using TWRP backups which I have learned to extract. The missing piece is how to put them all together into an image. Android 6 to android 6. So, basically option B from your reply. I will just remove some files from system partition and then recompile.

Hello, I'm using minix u22-xj box with ugslimtv version: 042.6 but the Minix A3 remote qwerty keyboard keys on the back of the remote are not working, tried both ATV and PIE versions. I just installed xvortex mod of Ugoos 0.4.2.7 version from 4pda, everything works great but there are frequent black screens/blinks with SDR content and or when no content in played (in the menu screens). with HDR/DV it works flawlessly.

Can someone please guide me how to fix Minix A3 keyboard with ugslimtv version: 042.6 and if it is a known issue? thanks in advance for all the help.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Reaper Man:
This is a sloppy way of trying to get an airmouse to work:

Install xvortex mod

enable root

Copy keylayout folders and remote-tab.cfg for system and vendor folders (there are multiple locations some have extra files...copy them all and note which directory they came from.) I don't know which locations are archival and which locations are active.

Save these folders to sd card.

Install ugslimtv.

Enable root.

Paste the keylayout folders back into the respective directories. Make sure that you have proper privileges. chmod 755(?) applied to folders/files.

I have had 50% success with this method. :rolleyes:

It's been discussed in s912 Freaktab forums.

If you know which Vendor.kl belongs for your airmouse, that would save much effort and someone might be able to send it to you.

(Your airmouse may be coded in the .DTB(?) file on boot-up, which is past my skill.)

Vendor_0C40_Product_7A1C.kl ???

U22-XJ, requesting change to Vendor_0c40_Product_7a1c.kl file on next firmware update.

The file in question is what governs the Minix Neo A3 remote. I think most users would benefit more from having previous track and next track buttons instead of fast forward and rewind buttons. The following entries could be changed as follows: "key 163 MEDIA_FAST_FOWARD" to "key 163 MEDIA_NEXT"...

On v9 and V10 atv slimbox, it had cast receiver installed and worked great. I now noticed on version 14 there is no cast software installed.

What's everybody using I have a old download of cast receiver from the website but they no longer have that listed in programs but have mirror cast listed. I don't recall but it seems like I didn't care for Miracast because my phone showed up like a tall thin strip in the middle of my TV screen.

Anyways just wondering what everybody's using,

I have an x96 MAX PLUS box and want to be able to cast videos from my phone to my TV.

Everything worked fine for my A95X F3 Air II :D . Is there any way to downgrade the Android version? Android 10 and below?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] skidrow83:
Thanks so much for your response, I think for time being i will stick to 0.4.2.7 Ugoos mod from xVortex as the A3 remote work perfectly fine with it (i have to select lldv instead of dolby vision enable to make sure SD and HDR content is displayed in 422 12bit and not 444 8 bit). although i would like to move onto ugslimtv line of firmware which is rock solid and stable in my testing and there were no black screen or blinking issues but this is too much work to correct A3 remote. I will wait for someone to make a mod with A3 working, God will send me an angel!! thanks again for all the help.

I'm assuming the xvoretx 0.4.2.7 (4PDA) and ugslimtv 0.42.6 are 2 totally different firmwares, i think they are but just making sure.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mAtvXk:
Newer TV boxes with latest SoC's are mostly released with android 11 from the factory, so it's unlikely that there will be any downgrade available whatsoever. :unsure:

Thanks again for your help @Reaperman

In case someone has problems like me, see previous posts, my Android TV is the H96 Pro+ s912 (CZ-S32-v5) (3+32/9377) 3GB RAM LPDDR3 LAN-1000 Blue plate.

I managed to fix it on the recommendation of lyubodelev on 4pda.ru, with the firmware sbx_beelink_gt1u_lp_ap6255_pie_14_9.img (https://disk.yandex.ru/d/SG_Duon1gjeIAw).

This firmware works fine in general. In the absence of thorough testing. The remote control does not work correctly, but I think I can solve it, the led does not turn off in standby, the wifi and ethernet work well, the bluetooth I have not tried yet.

With the dtb partition of this firmware I will surely be able to test Aidan's firmware that restarts for me just like it happened with Slimbox. Once I do the port I will post results.

Greetings.

X2 or X3 CPU ?

X2 has 2 versions

X3 has 4 versions with reference to wifi

Testing all versions can lead to success in wifi

However you may lose ethernet or otherfunctions

Sometimes just a simple Factory Reset can refresh/reload drivers

Also in the S905X section there are various wifi patches in Zip Format

I read some pages back Member was able to apply Patch with success||

Good Luck

Try sbx v15?

You might consider going back to 14.7(?) as long as you have no major issues you could save yourself a bit of grief. ;)

Otherwise if you are driven:

-Make sure you do not have ethernet attached when trying to test WiFi.

-Try factory reset if issues not fixed.

-Try fresh reflash with >Erase Data<.

- When you upgrades to 14.9 did you >Erase Data< and >Erase Bootloader< ?

- Maybe revert to previous firmware- test WiFi and flash newest Firmware do not erase the >Bootloader< o_O)

- Re-install Android 7, test WiFi and then flash sbx v15....

So many things to try.... a lot of grief and effort for noticeable benefit ?? :unsure:
