Hi all and thx @aidanmacgregor for your amazing work...

im kind of desperate here caus i've buyed on amazon.ca a geniatech ATV598Max that come shipped with a certified androidTV 7.2 that i've tried to update to androidtv 9 cause geniatatech description mention that it s supposely to be supported but i've hitted a big wall of silence from all geniatech support email contacts and websites ... geniatech.com geniatech.us geniatech.eu mygica.com etc.. even mygica.co.za (execpt this last one really try to help me by contacting his own manufacturer contacts ....and the only firmware i was able to find and install was not an official androidTV but just a junk beta version that is even not correctly identify in the recovery or so ..that can be downloaded at the following url : https://shop.geniatech.us/download/software-for-geniatech-android-box/

once updated, it stuck my device in this fw with no way to push any kind of cfw or custom recovery that 'll let me install other fw version...

until i find you near perfect cfw

atv598max run on amlogic 905D but it seems to install without any 'major' issue ... OS is booting , wifi and bt are working quite good considering im using the mygica 495X that sound similar in some ways (but not so much) to my geniatech atv598max...

so it lead me to severals questions and advices need:

1.im using a vpn for some legit iptv provider that require to be geolocated in a specific country

it was working fine with the default atv7.2 shipped firmware with ethernet or wifi but something seem to disconnect ethernet with your ATV9 CFW at some point when i try to lauch and connect it with openvpn androidtv ...(but strangely not when connected with wifi)

Any idea of what could provoque it ? (i've seen some others xda user seems to have the same issue)?

2.the DVB tunner is not correctly detected and as far as i know , it's probably because your custom firmware is based for s905x and not 905D as documented for amlogic that the Amlogic S905D: Similar to the Amlogic S905X, with an added DVB interface. so you''ve probaly guessed that my next question/request will be :

Do you think it could be easy/possible to create an additionnal build for this kind of devices ?

At this point, your work and CFW are the only light of hope wich can finally make my device usable so can you please tell me what is you point of view and/or if something could be doable regarding all those infos ? it will be greatly , i mean sincerly greatly appriciated...

Anyway thanks for all that you could do even the slightest

regards

How to turn off the Mi Box update notification?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
this seems to be a common issue with vpns and thernet in android 9, i have no idea why, and im not capable of amking tuner work, it will probably need diffrent DTBs ect :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
also try qca 9377, this works for rtl8188ETV so may help you
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
no way to disable it on users side, in the mean time start downloading update & thn pause it, you will not get the notifacation again :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] al.mooj:
hi all and @aidanmacgregor ,

first thing first : thx for ur quick answer...

for my VPN issue i'ved figured out that your android TV 7 (standard) fix the issue and run quite good on my geniatech atv598max except the tv tunner part

i really understand that it is not the same as other CFW u was able to create but i was expected that there is a way to 'compile' a cfw for a different targeted chip like s905D ...may be using similar device firmware like the meecool KI or KII that are easy to find compare to geniatech's once...i know it would involved a lot of work and i'm ready to make everything necessary because im kind of desperate here in regard of the complete lack of support and absolute silence from geniatech here...

anyway thanks for all kind of help you could provide even if i have to do it myself but with instructions i can follow...

regards
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] spyblaster91:

Is there anyone here using this box whose Bluetooth works?

My Bluetooth doesn't work on this ROM, it just stays searching for nearby devices.

I want to compare with other people to see if this is just my box or a ROM problem

Does anyone know how to set custom resolutions? Ideally after 3840x1100, but the more common 2560x1080 would work. I've tried setting via "wm size" but that just changes the scaling, the output resolution remains the same... Thanks!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] s_sevan:
can v8 be dirty flashed onto v7 of this rom to save apps and settings?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] s_sevan:
to answer my own question, i tried to dirty flash it was stuck on boot screen. clean install worked.

Update: i forgot to uncheck erase boot, only unchecked erase flash thats why dirty flash didn't work.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] masinski:
Hello there! Ive got problem with boot of my device or/and problem with USB Burning Tool.

First of all ive tried few hours to put right image to my device. When i tried with S905W but got problems with Uboot in USB Burning Tool ("0x32030201]Uboot/Get result/DiskInitial error". But i tried S905X and it went well but only when i uncheck erase flash and boot sections. That was the only way to finish burning correctly. And of course its not working and hanging on Aidens Rom Logo (i was w8ing more than 5 mins).

When i check "erase flash and boot" sections ive got those mostly

[0x10105002]Romcode/Initialize DDR/Read initialize status/USB Control setup error

[0x00101004]Erase bootloader/Lowper/Identify/Error result

And yes ive done the Mask Rom thing :/

Pls help

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] JerryMouse1986:
Hi @aidanmacgregor aidanmacgregor, I really need your kind help to revive my bricked T95m 4K (S905X, 1GB/8GB). I tried to use your ROM and flash it to my box, by shorting pin 3&4 on emmc chip. It doesn't allow to be programmed.

Display Chip: FD628

USB Chip: GL850G

Network Chip: SV6051P

eMMC: Essencore I3E-8GTH7CMRE

Would you please help me let me know how to do?

Many many thanks!!!!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ojcu:
No such luck this time, stuck at android tv logo... I'm starting from the scratch.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ojcu:
I've just done it with erase boot unchecked and it didn't work anyway. Same as yours, stuck on boot screen. Doing clean install now.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
hmm sounds likee an odd device :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] JerryMouse1986:
Hi @aidanmacgregor, would you mind to have a look at my box and see if you could give me a hand to put my box back alive please?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] JerryMouse1986:
I tried flashing 13 firmwares you provided on the cloud. 10 of them were successfully programmed into the box but none of them can boot up. Most of them are sticking with the splash screen. Only 2 firmwares can see the animation then restart automatically.

[V8 AP6330 firmware can see the language screen once and restart by itself and freezing then]
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] masinski:
So it should work when i burn it via USB Burning Tool without those to options checked?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] masinski:
Whats the difference between dirty and clean install then?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Matapros99:
Hello!

Sorry for the delay, I tried the mode for Q2 via USB recording tool, unfortunately it goes into boot loop

I see that on aidan's website there is a download of x96 max plus 2

Will I try that instead of the version for Q1?

... I don't want a hard brick ... again xD
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] JerryMouse1986:
.......

My post seems to be ignored.....
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
hmm it is intresting that one seems to get further, im not sure why its rebooting itself, only thing i ca thik of is maybe a button is diffrent in your deviced DB maybe, just a guess though, you may need to use my android tv 7
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
a dirty insatll will keep userdata partition unchanged (users apps and files) and update the rest, where clean install eases everything and sets up device like it was factory reset/new, not too sure on the technichal side of the update process, like if its file by file or whole partition
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
sorry but some trial and error may be needed here :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] JerryMouse1986:
Hi @aidanmacgregor , thank you for your message.

I have tried all three your ATV7 firmware but only universal one can be programmed into the box, other two for MXQ and Newbox were failed (error on diskutil or failed to recognize the emmc at 2%).

I'm not sure if I use the right ATV7 firmware. But I downloaded them from the link in your youtube video (https://mega.nz/folder/rTgUQLyI#jfRgEhOenZ0ZBtRLIOPK6A).

Would you mind to have a look at the photos I attached previously and see if any other version of firmware I can use please?

Thank you very much again, and looking forward to your response soon.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
looks like a few manufacturers make your device so hard to say anything :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] nokenokex:
Nice to meet you!

I also have an X96 Max Q2 and tried TEST-Q2 but it goes into the boot loop.

Next, I will try plus 2.

What other trial and error should I do? Please give me advice.

Hello!

I have installed the X96 Max plus 2 ROM on my X96 Max plus Q2.

Launch, add google account, install from playstore, wired internet, wi-fi worked fine.

But unfortunately Bluetooth didn't work.

If you can solve the bluetooth problem, it will be the best ROM!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
set a PM
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Matapros99:
Yep thanks!

in Q1 wifi / ethernet does not work

And in 2 everything is fine, except the connection to ethernet (it marked connection error when restarting) wifi works fine

Either way, aidan's room is still a very good option !!

Thanks for the support!!

Hello Aidan,

First of all, thank you very much for your time and continued work on these projects!

I would like to inquire if my H96 pro+ box which has a 3GB/32GB configuration with a S912 soc be compatible with your android TV rom?

it currently is running android 7.1.2 out of the box.

thanks again… look forward to your reply!

Hi Aidan,

My compliments for the work you have done.

Can I use them for my X96 Pro Amlogic S905X Quad-Core ARM Cortex 2GB/16GB TV box?

It's currently on Android 6.

I've tried to install several of your versions but every time I end up with an error after a few seconds I press the start button in the burning tool.

Are the rom's not compatible with my TV box or is there something I do wrong? I'm quite new to this ;).

Best regards and thnx.

For some reason I can't use my external NTFS formated hard drive with the latest build.

The drive works perfectly fine with other ROMs and on my computer

Hi Aidan

with the new V8 i have problems with Disney +, the vision is only in HD not in 4k, I tried to do several tests but nothing, perhaps it is to modify the app that I downloaded from the playstore? Could it be the HDMI cable ? I tried changing it but the problem remains.

thanks for your help

there is a good chance, i just cant comment on wifi, bluetooth or IR remote control :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
its not compatible with 100% of devices, some devices have 3d nand, need diffrent DTBs because they are too far from "Generic " boards :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
NTFS has been broken since v7 :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
this may be due to DRM such as widevine :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
if you can find another 9.0 rom that has working usb ports then i can use the DTB from that, but it must be android 9 as well :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Hurto:
Can there be a solution ?
