I thought I'd found the problem...

...but the S905X family is only a quad core, isn't it? So maybe it's an S912 (which appears to be the only octa-core device in the AmLogic family.

So I've just tried to flash "[v9] Aidan's ROM [S912] [ATV 9] [LPDDR3] [LAN100] (qca9377) (ltm8830) (M8S PRO L LS..).img", but that's failing at around 2%, giving an error mostly in Chinese:

Any ideas what this means?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kalehrl:
Install burning tool v2.2.0 and you'll get the error in English.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] TheMegaMan:
Ah, right. I was using 2.2.4, in the belief that later is better.

However, Googling a bit suggested unchecking the options to erase flash and bootloader would solve this issue. So I tried that...and it looks like I've completely bricked the box. Doesn't show up in the USB Burning Tool anymore. And, of course, doesn't do anything when plugged into a TV, either.

Oh well. It wasn't much more useful than a brick before I tried to get Aidan's ROM on it. so nothing really lost. Looks like it was a bit of quirk, claiming to be a T95Zplus, but with an unusual CPU.

Anyone want a small, plastic paperweight?

And back to my earlier question...what box should I get next, that might perform better?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] walker666:
New problem occurred, suddenly my box (nexbox A95x) stopped working. It bootloops constantly, I reflashed successfully several roms, including original Nexbox one, image is displayed until android OS boots and then black screen. Box is still on but no image. Anyone experienced similar thing?

Hi Aidan, great job!!!

I would like to try it on my Magicsee C400 plus (Amlogic S912; ROM: eMMC Flash 32GB; RAM: 3Gb DDR3; LAN: 10M/100M; Bluetooth 4.1) . Which of the available firmware could I install on my TV box?

Thank you...

Hello. I am a newbie regarding adding custom roms to android boxes. I have A95XF3 Slim box but I can not find here any guide how to install this custom rom to my device.

Any link to guide "how to" is welcome.

Burning tool, V9 ROM and pasword file already downlaoded from Aidan's website.

Thank you in advance.

Aidan's [v8] YouTube video description says it supports S905D but I don't see the image file for S905D in V8 folder in the download portal.

[v8] Aidan's ROM [S905X] [S905X2] [S905X3] [S905W] [S905W4] [S912] [S922X] [S905D] [S905Y2] (ATV 9)

Any custom Rom or S905D?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] janeku:
I must say I managed to install it with burnung rom tool.

Good rom compared to original one from F3SLim.

One little tip of the week: In order to succeed in installing this rom on F3 Slim, you should add password.bin and also to keep pressed all the time during installation hardware button wich is stored in a/v and earphone jack so the program could make to download and reprogram your device with new rom.

Hi aidam, I'm new to the forum, I'm writing to you because I've been following your work for a couple of years with custom roms for the Amlogic S905W - X, recently I bought a device here in Spain YOUIN you box, android Tv 10 google certified, widevine L1, Sockect Amlogic S905X3 - Manufacturer SEI ROBOTICS -Model YOU-BOX - Brand YOUIN - HNW Board - Platform SEI600NK - 4X ARM Cortex A55 - ARM v8-A 64bits (mod 32 bits) - Abi Armeabi-v7a - ARM GPU Mali G31.

Hi There, I am new to this forum and just want to thank everyone for their contributions. I have been on ATV7 Rom for about a month now and would like to upgrade to ATV9. every time i try any of the atv9 rom on my box using the amlogic burning tool i will get some sort of error. could someone probably please advise which is the best atv9 rom i should download for my box? Mecool Hm8, I have tried universal, ampak, realtek etc.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] landrich:
Install the aida64 apk on your tv box and have it give you the specifications of your ethernet and wifi chip, and based on that look for the one that best suits, usually the IR will not work for you, you will have to add a universal wireless keyboard or an air mouse

Hallo Freunde,

Danke für das tolle Rom.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ewmh:
My tv box has exactly the same specs as yours, I use the ATV9 universal rom but wifi and remote doesn't work. It's not a problem for me because I use ethernet and a USB wireless keyboard. I like ATV9 rom because Performance is better than ATV7. Maybe a USB wifi adapter could help (I don't have one to try)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Vicky420Melwani:
But i tried the universal ROM on the amlogic burning tool and it keeps stopping at 4%. How did you install the rom and what model is your tv box exactly? The remote should be able to work if we replace the remote config file just like what i did on atv7.

hello thanks for the answer, and I already tried this rom mxq v8 with usb burning tool 2.1.7 and 2.2 and it always gives the same error 7% disklnitial error.

i have installed origibal rom HM8-ota-20170401.115942.V0923.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ewmh:
My tv box is a T95N: Amlogic S905X, 1GB RAM, 8 GB Storage and SCI S9082C wifi chip. It is supposed to be a Sunvell T95N (I thinks is a clone).

I installed with USB Burning Tool 2.2.0 and default settings ( Erase flash and erase bootloader options ticked). I remember the first time I flashed this tv box I had the same % error and then the tv box was not detected anymore so I had to flash in mask rom mode to get it working again and finally I could flash it.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Vicky420Melwani:
My Mecool HM8 doesnt have a reset button hence I only can use mask rom mode when burning by touching the pins internally after opening the box to detect it on amlogic burning tool. Would you be kind enough to give me the link of the exact image you used so i can try again? I dont mind not having wi-fi as i can use ethernet too. Just need it to be more seamless than atv7. :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Vicky420Melwani:
Hmm thats weird. Can you provide the exact steps you're doing when burning?

Hello again! finally I managed to change rom to MXQPRO-v8 this time I had the courage to put erase bootloader and it worked but it was on android 6.0.1 as before only with atv rom.

Can I put android 7 in this mecool HM8 box? GREETINGS
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Vicky420Melwani:
Yeah i used the same one previously, didn't work for me. Any particular way you did it in? Like changed any setting on amlogic tool etc... let me try once more and post the error here soon.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Vicky420Melwani:
Yes you can. Atvxperience 7 is quite stable except for the remote will stop working until you replace the config file. It also works fine with a mouse and keyboard in case you dont want to go through the hassle of replacing the remote config file. The main thing i want now is atv9 even though the wifi doesn't work as atv9 with ethernet comes with more benefits.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ewmh:
I didn't change any settings It worked with default valies. Have you tried with erase flash/ erase bootloader options unticked?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] jerian01:

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] takato23:
im here to ask same question as many people, because I cant specifically find my model

which one should i install with this?

most similar one (physically) is the x96 max plus (exact same remote) but the x96 air is also similar and with the exact same remote, only difference x96 max plus has the same storage than mine, air has 64gb over the 32gb

@aidanmacgregor
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Vicky420Melwani:
Tried again with your suggestion of unticking the options. still didn't work on masked rom method. here is the error screenshot.

Hi I am extremely sorry, I did a check and this is the ROM you need to use to go to android 7.

very nice and smooth :)

can you please advise why the google playstore search result seemed so limited, even I cant get google chrome

and while I installed some apk's.....I cant find those in apps, please advise

sounds like noob questions.....but yes I am noob ;)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] cHarOn99:
Android TV Playstore allows only apps which are also optimized for Android TV, you can sideload apps which you can't find in Android TV playstore but they won't show up on mainscreen because this apps are not built for TV use.

If you want all apps then you would need a normal build and not a ATV build.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
As[B] cHarOn99[/B] Answered the TV play store is optimised for TV Apps (Work Nicely With A Remote Control) you can install all the APK files outside of the play store from somewhere like APK Mirror :)

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Ther is an app preinstalle called "App Drawer" This should show your NON TV apps in here, to create a shortcut on the main homescreen you need to create a "Shortcut App" this is a tiny app that links to your non TV app and shows it on the main homescreen

There was an app called "Tv App Repo", but it dosnt seem to work on android 9

You Can Use This Website To Make Shortcuts http://atvlauncher.trekgonewild.de/

I've running this Android 9 which by the way, running smoother than 7, but somehow the SCI S9082C wifi chip is not working on any build, i've to run it via RG45 for now, but the location I wanted to use it don't have cable.

Hi, thanks :) The stock YouTube app didn't run well on my atv7, I used "Smart YouTube TV" (and the new UI Version "Smart Tube Next Beta" ad free modded youtube and that worked perfectly played 4k no problem,

v5 is planned be a massive shake up in wifi chip support, unfortunatley I cant just take the relevant parts from atv7 due to amlogic android 8 moving to a much newer kernel

I'm in the process of creating an improved vendor (the partition wifi stuff is located), testing video performance ect... and then I can split that "Master" version into multiple wifi versions based on that master vendor
