All I can say at this point is good luck on your quest.....
[Android TV General] johnjohn07:
Thanks lol I am currently seeing with the Alibaba sellers if there is one who wants to help me!
[Android TV General] johnjohn07:
So, I managed to get the firmware of the T95max H618 Android12 box and I flashed with phoenix card and the box works again.

I have two problems: firstly the box detects the wifi network well (4G sharing of my phone) but it is impossible to connect to it and the other problem is that when I unplug the box and turn it back on it goes loop boot.
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:
Sounds like the box has a defect in it!
[Android TV General] johnjohn07:
The wifi connection works now, I had to change the security key from wpa3 to wpa2.

Everything works perfectly.
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:
What happens when you reboot. That may have been the issue with all the different firmwares you tried already.
[Android TV General] johnjohn07:
If I turn it off with the power button it starts fine, but if I unplug it it reboots in a loop and I have to reflash
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:
That's weird...
[Android TV General] johnjohn07:
yes and after several switching on / off the box also reboots in a loop. it's not practical, every time I have to do a factory reset.
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:
Common denominator in this senerio isssss...... What? Used many firmwares with same result, correct? And they were all used on the "same box"! What does that tell you? 🤔🤔
[Android TV General] johnjohn07:
I think the box is defective, I'm going to send it back and order a more efficient one and with more choice of firmware available!
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:
Two suggestions, H96 Pro Plus 4/32 or T95Z Plus 4/32.... None of the android TV boxes have a lot of firmware. Check out Freaktab. It is a good source for TV boxes.

Added A11 just now, it's the latest version so far

mostly either xda or manufacturers, but sometimes I google them if I can't find them in either places

my friend, your box is T95max not T95ZPlus, all the firmwares on my gdrive are for the T95Zplus, you'll need to find compatible firmwares for your box.

note: some manufacturers make clone/fake tvboxes which may or may-not accept the original manufacturer firmwares. good luck
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:
Wouldn't any H618 Firmware work on any H618 chipset box?
[Android TV General] donmega_icecube:
no, because you don't only match up the cpu, you need to match all hardware in there, cpu wifi bt graphics nic audio etc...

some boxes are rebranded but have same hardware, in this case you can use same firmware on them, but you'd have to make sure it's same hardware inside first
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:
Thank you for enlightening me!
[Android TV General] donmega_icecube:
my pleasure :)
[Android TV General] johnjohn07:
thank you very much i will take a look
[Android TV General] johnjohn07:
maybe it's a bootloader or fastboot problem?

Android Box T95Z Allwinner H618 Quad-Core 64-bit Cortex-A53 currently running Bigdroid 2.0.1

I would greatly appreciate the advice, banging my head against a wall

[Android TV General] Phenom727:
I couldn't run Teamviewer QS & Host on T95 Max Allwinner H618 box with Android 12. Could you or are you able to install and run Teamviewer on that box? I have an old Nexbox 7.1 Android box with S905x Amlogic CPU, it runs Teamviewer QS & Host, but it's slow. I just wanted to know if boxes with Amlogic CPU's will run Teamviewer QS or Host. I don't care if it's running version 9, 10, or 11 Android.

BTW, I reinstalled the stock firmware via microSD using the PhoenixCard Tool, and that went smoothly after installing ALL of the MS Visual C++ Redistributal files. I'm wondering if there are any other images I can use. It must contain WiFi 5 + Bluetooth 4.0 chipset, unlike the T95Z Plus below, which has the WiFi 6 & Bluetooth 5.0.

https://www.amazon.com/Android-Quad-core-Ethernet-Wireless-Keyboard/dp/B094Q49MDG/

Any help or guidance would be appreciated. I'm willing to sacrifice bricking this box if need be, and all I want is to install & run Teamviewer whether it's on Android 9, 10, or 11, as long as the image is for the Allwinner H618 4GB/32GB with Wifi 5.0 & BT 4.0. Thanks folks!
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:
I wouldn't run TeamViewer on Android to connect to a remote session, it lags way too much and also has connection issues. I prefer my windows laptop and it works great when connected to another windows device. But from windows to android it is not as stable and at times gets frustrating.
[Android TV General] sOKRATEs100:
Hi,

can I also use these firmware for my

"Magcubic Android 12 Allwinner h618" BigDroidOS 2.0.1 ?​

E.g. I tried to install MyWhoosh (cycling app for indood cycling), but it said that this Software is not suitable for my machine.

Many thanks,

Dennis
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:
Should work fine...
[Android TV General] Androidfranco:
is there any way to Chang the programming to receive an entirely different infrared remote. I want to use a universal but it seems like it's not compatible with any of the remotes. Presets. What I want to do is let's imagine that the box is set up to receive codes 100 through 200 on ir frequencies. and I want to make the box start receiving frequencies 100 through 200 . Or whatever more specific frequencies that will match the remote o my choosing. At the very least I want to fine out all the specific codes it's already set up to recognize. I already use key mapper. It doesn't seem to go that far thank you!
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:
There is a config file on the box that can be edited for what you need. Might try to Google search for something like this "infrared remote configuration file on Android TV box". If you find an answer, please post it here for others to learn.....
[Android TV General] Androidfranco:
Will do! Thanks for the search tip!
[Android TV General] Androidfranco:
À7 is the last one I've used. is there anything better about the ones leading up to a11
[Android TV General] Androidfranco:
AU is the last one I've used is there anything better or worse about the versions that follow? A8 to a11
[Android TV General] Androidfranco:
Also is there a difference between a custom ROM and rooting. Is a custom more like the poison ROM while rooting is more like magisk. And do any of these options give more pc like capabilities. I'm trying to run the adonics driver from windows on my TV box.
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:
The box should update to A12 with the update app in the app drawer.
[Android TV General] Androidfranco:
Nope. I'm on a flashed a5 right now. Update doesn't work.
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:
You on H618 stock firmware?
[Android TV General] Androidfranco:
As far as I know. I know it's h618 firmware. But sure if it's stock but I think so. WiFi and Bluetooth work.
[Android TV General] Androidfranco:
I have problems using Miracast receiver though. But I have the same problem trying to cast to my buddies box to and it's never been flashed.
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:
Could be the remote. I have A11 available to flash if you want it. I also have the PhoenixCard software to flash the firmware to a microSD card on your pc. Once the card is flashed, unplug power on box, unplug any USB devices, insert flashed microSD card, plug in power and it will flash to box. When completed, remove microSD card, then remove power and wait 15 secs and plug power back in. Done
[Android TV General] Androidfranco:
I don't think it's the remote. Do you know anything about which version is best for epsxe emulator . I can't get it to fine my roms. it said that for android 11 and up it uses scoped storage. I think that's stopping me. From accessing them. Maybe if I in back to 10. Is there a compatible version of ten for the z plus. Or maybe once I put a 7 back on there it will work fine. Sorry for getting a little off topic. And thanks for your help. You helped me uNbrick it a few months back
[Android TV General] Androidfranco:
Is there any version of Android 9 or ten that I can put on my z plus which came with 12, or maybe I should put one of the custom roms or magisk or Linux on it
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:
No idea, Google search for your question!

Hi everyone, I'm looking for some much appreciated help with my android box im having some issues with please. Same t95z plus as this thread.

1) wolf launcher displays "could not load widget" after every reboot, this happens on my firestick too.

2) after finally managing to get my firestick remote to work on this box (had to change from version a4 to a11, the big middle button on the remote doesn't function as "ok/select" button on some menus. Most of the time works as expected but when I press it to open the keyboard, its moves down, like if you pressed tab on a keyboard

3) button mapper doesn't work on a11. It won't let me enable it in accessibility services.

Would really appreciate some help. Thanks
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:
Be careful, but you can use root explorer and edit file /system/user/keylayout/generic.kl and edit the buttons. But again, you need to back up the original in case things go wrong...

.
[Android TV General] egyptcentral:
Thanks for the quick reply, il try this in a bit and let you know. I've never backed up before, is it easy enough?
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:

[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:

[Android TV General] egyptcentral:
Yep don't know what happened but I factory reset and redownloaded magisk and I'm rooted again. I'm stuck now because I can't work out how to get adb to work on the box, and I need to find the device I'd for my remote to make a profile. I can access generic.kl but no idea what keys are what

hey all! i bought a t95z plus box, it's got android 12 "bigdroid os" it says in settings, has h618 chip, 4gb ram/64gb storage, is there any alternative OS firmware i could get with support for the remote that came with the box, and hopefully better controller support (i use a ps5 dualsense). is there any tips i could maybe benefit from? i've rooted phones before, and i've flashed OS'es before so i know what i'm doing...i need to hear it from others who've bought the same box. thanks! any help is appreciated
[Android TV General] DeeznutZ444:
basically i would really like one of those firmware .img files, the one i have doesn't work in phoenixcard, says error at the end. i can't find ANY anywhere else. thanks so much
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:
These and all android TV boxes have limited if any custom ROMs. There is not enough interest from developers to spend the time on them.
[Android TV General] DeeznutZ444:
so i flashed the same firmware somehow (it's still bigdroidos 2.01, but now i am unable to download spotify from the playstore...any idea why i can't download spotify? doesn't even show up in play store
[Android TV General] DeeznutZ444:
there must be a different version i got the android box with, different fork of the bigdroidos maybe...i could download spotify no problem...but with this version of biddroid os i have now, it looks almost identical to what i started with. but no spotify, missing other apps on the play store too probably. is there a place i can get a stock firmware that is clean and not scary looking from a privacy protection view? i cant find any firmware online...nothing shows up in search. thats why i'm turning to good old XDA 😀
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:
Some android apps don't work with some boxes. Have you tried to update with the update app in app drawer?
[Android TV General] DeeznutZ444:
yeah, says it's up to date
[Android TV General] TheGhost1951:
Then that is all I can help you with. When you go into settings and about device, it should show "Android Version A12". There is a couple apps I use on my phone that do not work on the box.
[Android TV General] DeeznutZ444:
i don't know then, i was able to use spotify without issue...not sure why i can't download it now if its the same firmware. i'm trying one more thing then might as well buy a new box. thanks anyways for the help

Thanks TheGhost1951/others,

so just to confirm, the img file (T95zplus-H618-A11.img) is the latest one which is already rooted so once we flash it using "PhoenixCard_V3.1.0_20130618" to the device (say via MicroSD card) then the box will have pretty much normal/working rom (e.g. everything will work like Orig ROM) but with root access, correct?

I ask because my device is brand new and has no issues but since some of the Apps are asking for root and this device isn't rooted (checked with SuperSU) I wanted to root this !!!

To be on the safer side, is there any way to just boot from the MicroSD card directly instead of actually flashing the ROM on the device itself so in case something ain't working, we can just remove the card and boot from the default/stock unrooted firmware as usual?
[Android TV General] MAXNOS:
My friend, I have the same box, can you please send me a link to the firmware, I have the same problem, Wi-Fi does not work!
[Android TV General] fadex:
Hi guys,

Happy New Year!

I tried this T95zplus-H618-A11.img.

This image is not pre-rooted. Tried to install Magisk but since its not pre-rooted it cant directly fix the boot partition.

Also with this rom, partitions are mounted leaving little to no free disk space. Can't write much to an almost empty 64GB micro sdcard. :p

Anyone has instructions to root it and fix the free space issue?

Tried to rename the magisk apk to update.zip and flash that way but the recovery doesnt mount/find my sdcard. :p

Which rom are you guys using? This or something else?

Is the X98H_20230704-1632.img any good?

Thanks in advance,

Hello,

I flashed the stock A11 and now my T95z Plus H618 device no longer recognizes wifi or blurtooth devices. It is as if they are disabled or not loading properly.

I tried flashing many different firmwares from A4 through A11. I am using the Pheonix USB Pro method.

I even tried some other H618 firmwares hoping it was just a chipset driver in the firmware, but no dice.

The wifi/bluetooth worked before flashing.

Any help/suggestions?

Thanks

[Android TV General] meestermole:
Ive done some more research, and it seems that some of the T95Z Plus "clones" out there use a different (LTM8830) Wifi chipset. It seems like most (all?) of the stock firmwares do not have this chipset driver. I wish I knew of some way to extract it from another firmware and inject it into one for this unit.

if anyone could possibly share one of the kernel modules from a working uniot with the LTM8330 chipset, i'd like to try to push them to my device and load them with insmod to see if it works. not sure what the filename would be, but likely in the /sys/module folder or somewhere like that. they are *.ko files

I have tried to flash the device with an SD card, img T95zplus-H618-A11 and phoenix card program, but I have not managed to do so, when I hold the reset button and connect the TV BOX to the current, the device does not start or do anything. Could you please recommend what to do?

Thanks in advance!!

Same problem here. This happened suddenly. I wonder whether this ROM is the correct one: 1007-T95ZPLUS-v4.rar

I had T95zplus-H618-A11 installed before and it was working but I don't want to reflash if it is flakey.
