How can I install the slimbox firmware on my Vontar x4 box? I tried all the standard methods and nothing seems to be working. I can install the slimbox firmware on my GT-King box no problem, but the same method does not work for my Vontar x4 box. Here's what I tried so far:

Burn Card Maker - tried with an old SanDisk 8GB card using FAT32, tried a 64GB Lexar card using exFAT, tried a 64GB Samsung card using NTFS, none of them worked. I plug in the power cable while pressing the reset button and nothing happens. It takes me to the recovery menu and that's it. If I try to browse the SD card for the slimbox image file there's nothing there. On my PC I can see the image file, but on the box it only shows the System Volume Information hidden folder, but there are no files on the card. Nothing on FAT32, exFAT or NTFS version. I try the same thing with my GT-King and everything works fine.

USB Burning Tool - tried v3.1.0 which works fine with GT-King, but my Vontar x4 box never connects no matter what I try. On the slimbox website it says to use USB Burning Tool v3.2.0 for s905x4 devices, so I installed that.

I tried connecting with a USB cable from USB 2.0 port to USB 2.0 port on my computer, USB 2.0 on the box to USB 3.0 on my computer, USB 3.0 on the box to USB 3.0 on my computer, nothing happens. My PC never makes the connection sound.

I tried every combination possible. Tired only connecting USB and no power cable (box shows BOOT on the from screen), tried connecting both USB and power cable, nothing. Tried with pressing the reset while connecting USB, pressing reset while connecting USB and power cable, tried connecting just USB without pressing reset, tried connecting USB and power cable without pressing reset, nothing.

No matter what I try I cannot install slimbox or get the Vontar x4 to make the USB connection sound. I try these same methods with my GT-King and it works in 5 seconds.

I know it's possible to install slimbox on Vontar x4 because other people are having success. So what am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

[UPDATE] I figured out what was causing the problem. The Vontar x4 box has the USB 2.0 connector in the corner at an angle. Because of this the USB cable can't be plugged in all the way. It feels like it plugs in all the way, but the connector itself is recessed and the pins are not making proper contact. I had to cut a piece of the plastic off my USB cable to get it to insert far enough to make contact. Once I ruined a perfectly good USB cable everything was a breeze.

Absolutely horrible design on this box. This is my first and last Vontar product I will ever buy.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] awibabau:
Well, my HK1 has similar design and i never had to do that to insert usb on that corner. Thanks for the feedback anyway as i'm thinking on buying a s905x4 box and vontar/hk1 is probably not an option. Maybe Tanix x4?? I'm reading reviews here and there about the design and thermals.

But if anyone has the perfect s905x4 box with slimbox rom compatibility just say something. ;) Or should i wait?! I know improvements are close to none, but AV1 can probably start to be commonly used in 2023 (or maybe not) but at least we have av1 on youtube LOL
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] sesdave:
I have 4 x HK1 RBOX X4 (HK1/VONTAR differ only in name). All run great with the Vontar X4 slimbox 16.9 aosp rom. Never had a problem getting connected with a Dual USB cable to the USB 2 port to flash with Burning tool 3.1 . Only thing I found was that once flashed and booted I needed to open Magisk app and then reboot before root activates. At the end of the day most X4 boxes are pretty similar except maybe for 1GB /100MB ethernet ports. You get what you pay for lol
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] awibabau:
What version of HK1 Rbox x4 do you have? 32/64/128GB ROM? And is there any HK1 that's not 1GB LAN? I'm saying this because i've bought HK1 before (S905x3) and i got a damn 100M ethernet :x

I'm just asking if there are 100M boxes playing around claiming 1GB lan, i'm not very lucky and i always end up getting 100M no matter what i pay...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] sesdave:
I always get the 4/64Gb HK1 X4 which has 1GB Lan. Do not get the HK1 X4S which has 100MB LAN - the X4 box has gold edges the X4S black. That said the Tanix X4 has an X4S version too for which there is a slimbox 16.9 version for 100Mb which probably will work on The HK1 X4S. I like 1GB lan as I have a sportsbar - need best rom and speed I can get
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] awibabau:
Ok, but what's the difference between S905x3 and s905x4. Can you tell any real difference in the main use of this boxes? I can only see 100MHZ improvement and AV1.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] sesdave:
Like why buy latest phone - they all make phone calls. Latest models tend to get latest android version and continued development of software. X4 android 11 v X3 Android 9- slightly faster CPU on X4 boots quicker etc. Upto you - they both run what I want to do but as there isnt much price difference I now get the X4 rather than X3,
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] xKashim:
I was considering the Tanix X4 as well before buying the Vontar X4. The problem with the Tanix box is that the LAN is only 100M not 1000M. Some people might not care about that, but I do.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Noter2017:
That only matters if you stream 4K Bluray rips which can be 50 - 60 GB in size.

For online video services or MKV rips, 100M is more than enough
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] sesdave:
I meant the Transpeed not the Tanix has X4/X4s - 1Gb/100MB versions of slim rom. Looks exactlty same as Vontar/HK1 - propably is.

Good morning. After upgrading the X96MAX+ ULTRA to 16.9 slimbox, the activation of the cursor on the remote control has been lost. Do you know anything about hidden files not showing in android 11?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] awibabau:
Android 11 has problems with permissions, you probably need to install a file explorer and give write permissions and root permissions or just activate root, it should do the trick after a reboot...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kodivision100:
I've done it with X-Plore and I rooted, nothing happens for now apart from android 11.

Is there a chance that we can get ugslimtv version for the X96 Air P3 (S905X3) in the near future, maybe?

On the official webpage i can see that there's ugslimtv version for the X96 Air P2, but not for P3.

And it's clear that ugslimtv is also available for X96 Max Plus2, which seems to have the same RTL8211F Gigabit Ethernet chip and RTL8822CS dual band WIFI/BT chip, just like in X96 Air P3.

So, i guess it may be possible to develop ugslimtv for the X96 Air P3 as well. Since it is stated that ugslimtv has some more advantages, i would prefer to install it for my X96 Air P3 4/32GB and 4/64GB S905X3 tv boxes:

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] makis1024:
My friend you can use the Ugslim from x96 max plus 2 revision for the x96air revision P3. Wifi chip , DDR Version are exactly the same. I use Slimbox port Ugoos from 0.42 and above and I have no problems with it. Now I have 0.53.1 Ugslim on my x96air P3.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] raruba:
You should be glad u got v0.53.1, its not even posted anymore.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] acocco:
hi all,

first of all i beg your pardon for my bad english,

then.... i've got a MECOOL BB2 2-16 wiht latest version 15.4.1

I remember that with the stock version of firmware i could control the TVBox with the TV remote control, any chance to do the same with this custom rom?

Another question.

Every day the Box turn on on it's own, i shut down it then for some hours or the morning after i find it on with the blue light ON and turning on TV i find the BOX awake.

Someone notice a problem like mine?

Thanks in advance for your support

I had purchased H96 Max X4 TV Box Android 11.0 Amlogic S905X4 . I tried to flash slimbox in it. I installed

X96Max Plus Ultra and X96 X4. Both firmware was installed successfully. But there is no wifi. wifi turn off . And the box did nto show me the singels of the wifi. And front clock is also not working. whats the reason behind this.​
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mAtvXk:
What did you expect when you flashing FW that is not intended for you box, despite the similarities. You should be lucky that you didn't brick your device.

Wi-Fi and clock display are not working because your tv box has different hardware inside (wifi chip and LED controller), which is not fully supported (missing drivers) by the FW.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Robo909:
so how can i slove this problem. Should i open the box and see the wifi ship
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mAtvXk:
Whatever, google it or open the box - that way you will surely knew.

i flashed my Ugoos with Amlogic S922 J-X and it works.. i was using USB Burning Tool.

i choose ATV version, encrypted.. derrypted wont flash on stock firmware.

now if somewhen new release comes, should i flash same way and erase all stuff on my box or it there some dirty flash method?

i wrote on russian translated that:

Updating the firmware while saving data in USB Burning Tool

Before flashing, remove the checkbox to erase the flash.

This option cannot be applied if the changelog of the firmware version indicates the fix "System Amendments"

is that true, or i must do a clean install?

I have Vontar x4 and installed the latest slimBOXtv 16.9. TV box supports 1000M lan speed. Unfortunately, in all speed tests I reach a maximum speed of 100M. In the previous versions of the roms, the speed was in the range of 1000M, but now it suddenly dropped to 100. I think the latest ROM is to blame, which limits the download speed to 100M.

Does anyone have a similar experience?

Have you tried yet in USB Port on Transpeed?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] xKashim:
Insert the cable into the USB port before you cut and check to see where it hits the USB port's edge. The plastic part of the USB plug is soft and easy to cut. Use a sharp utility knife and carefully cut small pieces off until you can fully insert the cable. You don't have to cut both sides, only the side that hits the USB port's edge. Hope this helps.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Robo909:
Yes i tried it. but still no response form the remote
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
Use a USB extension cable (male-female USB) to connect the dongle, because sometimes it is not fully inserted into the USB port !!!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gjwa yzma:
Sure try that

Or the USB 3.0 port

Do you have any specs from device

Or pairing instructions?

There can be different modes for PC

Xinput.

Android maybe is

D-input

Buttons on controller you have to hold

Or select?

Happy Testing

I have succesfully installed the new slimrom into my device. CPU: Amlogic S905X4. But I cant able to ulock my bootloader. I see my device into the amalogic burn tool.

I cant able to boot from sd card .

There is one problem i didn't had on all versions of slimbox prior to 15 which is i always got 23,976HZ and 24 HZ accordingly.

Let me explain, with slimbox 11,12,14 if i use afrd for auto frame rate change it works well. Plain and simple when the movie is 23,976fps i can see the resolution on my TV is 1080p23,976HZ up in slimbox systembar and when the movie is 24fps i see 1080p24HZ up there. Now with any of the slimbox 15 versions and this 9.1 whenever i have a 23,976 fps movie or 24 fps i always get 1080p24Hz up there even when afrd shows it changed to 23,976fps in osd, something is wrong and i get occasional stuttering in 23,976fps movies which for me is bad...

Reverting to slimbox 14 or prior versions solves this problem...So until this gets fixed (maybe a new kernel ****in some old things and correcting new ones, same old s$&/%) i will stay on <14...

But yes, it's good to see slimbox is getting new ideas LOL
