:ROFLMAO:

I edited the big post with the new photo, above. I'm noob so I thank you again your patience .

I think it is in fact equal to your photo. Has far as I can see I use the paper clip to connect that two points and try to flash again.

I'll try like in the link you teach me :

"The usual procedure is when the prefix "b.r.i.c.k.e.d." using the control points:

- Run UBT version 3.2.0. Download the firmware. Press start". Connect one end of the USB cable to the PC / laptop.

- By connecting 2 « test points » using a tweezers or even an open paper clip, connect the other end of the cable to the correct TVbox USB port. When « burning » begins, stop connecting 2 points. No power adapter required.

**Have you used a very long cable? In such cases, the shorter the better ( less than 30 cm )."

Update 1: I tested with the clip in the test points. Nothing changes. The same error. The same sequence in connected, disconnected, error, and connected sound again.

I'm getting out of ideas. Because what I read I used the box with a cooler fan that I adapted from an old PC. The fan was connected to the 2.0 usb port. Do you think that could make some kind of short circuit in the box?

This is the first android device in dozens that I can't flash. And also the first that looks definitely dead. And in a very short life period.

Update 2: Tested flashing in a virtual windows machine in Linux. Same result has all other tests.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] marathmartin:
The problem is hardware. As I have a new box, I noticed that when I close it, it has the same lights on as the one with problems. Pressing the command power button the new one restarts, after power of, if we don't unplug the power source.

So I thought about doing this with the spoiled one. I turned it on and started to press the command button, as it didn't do anything I gave it a little tap and suddenly, it turned on the display with the word boot.

I turned It on the TV and saw that it was on loop. It shows the word Transpeed on the TV, but after some time it restarts, and comes back to the same. As it is now possible to enter the android recovery I did all the tests and possible cleanings and tried to install a new rom through the SD card. Get an error is that it cannot mount the SD card.

So I tried with the AML Burning tool. It gave the same error I reported earlier. But when I place the box turned with the viewfinder against the table, the flash works!!!

So I flash the one from the original transpeed. It was 100% successful as I show in picture above. I plugged it into the TV and the problem persists. I tried the one from Slimbox. It was 100% successful in the flash process, as I show in image above. I plugged it into the TV, got the same problem.

Some times it boots up to the stage where it asks for the language, or even the choice of wifi or ethernet network. But then it restarts and stays in Loop.

It worked fine for 2 weeks when I bought it, so it feels like there's a problem with the graphics chip. I also suspect that maybe an SD card that doesn't seem to be in good condition, that I used there, could have made a some small short circuit, or something similar.

Anyway, I lost confidence in the quality of these boxes. I have the new one working there but I'm always waiting for it to break, because the other was died from one day to the next.

If anyone has any suggestions for more testing I would appreciate it. Thank you all.

Thanks, friend! I will go with AOSP. Do you know if these devices can connect to an external HDD? I've tried connecting two HDDs to this device, each one at a timeone with external power supply and another one who doesn't. Both of them seems to be automatically disconnected from Android as soon as i connect it using the usb ports.

Hi, anyone here who installed the slimbox firmware for this device could help me? I've already installed the drivers, the amlogic burning device tool, but it's not working. I tried with an usb 2.0 and 3.0 port, different usb cables, but nothing happens when i connect the tv box to my computer before flashing the firmware.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] seipy:
You must use usb 2.0 and you must hold button that is hidden in jack connector before you connect it to computer and hold it until computer successfully connects it. If not try it few more times.

Hello good afternoon.

In August-2022 I bought this Transpeed X4 from Aliexpress (https://es.aliexpress.com/item/1005....0.0.1fcd7a9dMpwXgo&mp=1&gatewayAdapt=glo2esp)

All the time has worked properly, but since yesterday the device does not give the time (HH:MM) in the front panel, and does not switch on when I press the proper button in the remote control.

Always the red light is on, and does not dissapear when I try to switch on from the remote control.

I have changed the remote control USB connector to the other USB port (the blue one), but there is the same problem.

I have opened the device, and I have pressed the reset button which is located behind the AV connector (when the power were connected), but the device does not react.

Also I have cleaned the motherboard with alcohol (with the power disconnected), but still the same problem.

I would be very grateful if you could give me some help about this problem.

Thank you very much.

I have Vontar X4, with slimbox 11.5, work very good, only issues I have:

1. HBO Max crashing at loading logo, older versions don't have launch icon, only possible run is over setting, (very annoying process).

2. Bluetooth pairing and reconnecting headphones is unstable, at older version 16.4 works better.

3. Pictue-in-Picture(PiP), or minimized playback, works but not react to mouse actions, like move or click to expand.

Transpeed X4 (1000 M version) firmware - 2023.02.28.21.13

Sent by the official transpeed store on AliExpress.

Root: OK

HDR: OK

50 FPS IPTV streams: OK (not working on latest versions of slimBOXtv)

It seems a good basis for new custom roms.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] jmat2240:
I usually don't post often but I just wanted to add my experience with flashing this device using the USB Burning Tool.

I purchased the HK1RBOX on Amazon, which looks synonymous with the Vontar, and has the S905X4 chip. I was having difficulty getting the computer to recognize the device but after some research I found using a high quality male A to Micro USB with an OTG cable to make it Male to Male worked.

In specific I placed the front end of the device, the LCD screen on the floor connected the USB cable to the diagnol 2.0 USB Port.

I think the biggest concern is making sure your USB A cable that goes into that port is very slim, or else it won't fit all the way into the port.

I did not utilize the external power source, and held the reset button down for about 10 seconds while having the USB Burning Tool in Start mode and plugging the USB Cable into the PC all at once. As soon as the computer detected the device and the flash process initiated I stopped pressing the reset button. It flashed flawlessly and I'm enjoying playing with this device.

Like I said the USB Cable that goes into the diagnol USB Port is critical for it to successfully work.

I bought Vontar X4 S05X4, I tested all firmware available for this box, Russian and Original Chinese, I have a problem with IPTV it does not play well on many channels, STB Emu Pro, Xtream Codes, etc, I tested many android boxes but never had this problem before. I'm surprised this problem has never been reported anywhere, this product is called Excellent on AliExpress and has Great Reviews.

If anyone has any advice for me or has faced this problem, let's talk about it to see if a solution can be found

Thank You
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] LITUATUI:
Are you referring to this bug?

Latest slimBOXtv firmwares (11.5/11.6/11.7) have this bug, where the image gets distorted on some IPTV streams (50 FPS). I already informed the Russian developer about it, but he thinks that I'm doing something wrong because there aren't many people reporting it on the telegram chat...

The latest stock firmware that I posted doesn't have this bug. Try it.

Just a tip, OTT Navigator IPTV is the best IPTV player for Android.

You can use M3U, Xtream Codes and Stalker lists. Cloud backups are also pretty cool.

Hello! 😄

I've been taking a peek at these devices lately, and right now I am seeing the Vontar X4 at a very attractive price. 👀

It also has a good alternative firmware (Project SlimboxTV), which seems to be rooted easily (I always root my devices). Can this firmware / Android OS run 64 bit applications?

I am the kind of user who is willing to do anything for things to work, so this is no problem. Box would be used for some gaming besides TV stuff. May someone make some comments about this?

Thank you in any case. 🤗

Edited one day later…

Wellp, answering myself after peeking here and there, these boxes come pre-rooted but their firmware/ROM is 32-bit (letdown). And Slimbox TV is discussed right in this thread too. 😅

Edit:

Just tested the new slimBOXtv 11.8 firmware and unfortunately it's stil based on the old stock firmware that has the IPTV bug. Even local streaming from TVHeadend server doesn't work correctly.

Went back to the new stock firmware 2023.02.28 and everything works OK.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] LITUATUI:
If you're going to use the slimBOXtv firmware you'll be disappointing with the IPTV bug. AFR works OK, but you should disable it for IPTV apps, since it makes zapping slow. Use AFR only to watch movies and TV shows.

Guys what’s the procedure to load new android firmware ?

I’ve got coreelec running on it right now but would like to switch to aarm64 master releases which need super partition to work....

Tried male to male usb with pressing av button and not but box isn’t recognised by my pc.

Is that corner usb 2 you’re using to upload firmware ?

Edit; Found solution! Vontar x4 need power plug in before usb connection.

So here it is.

Push and hold av button, plug in 5v power supply and then usb male to male cable.

Hello all. I jumped into this android tv box mess just recently. Details are hard to follow being the pace things change and the multitude of manufacturers, hardware and software revisions.

I got a rocktek RT G2. Its a Amlogic S905X4-K based board code named SEI804RT made by SEI. Its got a USB-C on the back. On the side 1xUSB A 2.0 and 1xUSB 3.0. and a TF cardslot. I see what I think is a reset pin hole. It's a certified Netflix/Amazon box.

Question is can I do anything with this box other than what is pre installed and sideloaded. Like is it locked down or is it rootable? Is there a VolksPC or something else that will run off the emmc?

Hi, i hope someone can help me with my problem, since this is the only place for discussions about the Vontar X4. So, this is what happens: I bought this device some months ago. I was never able to install the slimbox because both my notebooks never recognizes the device, even by trying three different usb cables and 6 usb ports (2.0 and 3.0), so i just used the stock firmware. Some weeks ago i just can't access the android settings, i click and nothing happens. After that the wifi stopped working, now the ethernet port isn't working. I enter into the recovery, format the data partition, but it's still the same. I can't try to update the device via OTA because i can't connect it to the internet, neither can i locally install it. I downloaded the stock update, put it into the internal memory, tried to install it through the recovery, but it gives me an error message. At this point i guess that this is probably a hardware problem, and since i tried everything i could think i would like to ask you people if there's anything i could possibly try here or just throw this device in the trash or is there some other recovery option that i missed?
