Since it doesn't look like we will get any more firmware updates I threw this together for myself. It is essentially factory firmware converted to Android TV. After bootup I suggest going to settings and changing to leanback keyboard and turning off sleep.

The DTV app included is DTV app from the factory firmware. Majority of factory firmware apps were left in although I replaced most on my personal setup. When I find time I will download a new KI or KIII ROM and pull the apks to see if they have been updated or will run on Lollipop. Is the DTV app included with Malaysk's firmware any different from factory? If so you can copy the apk, install it and it should run fine. The main advantage of this ROM is that it is Android TV, so the Google Play store apps are all versions which work well with a remote. You can still install regular Android apps and they should work fine.

thnks
but
ROM OS Version: 2.3.x Gingerbread? why
the dtv from ki pro for test
http://www.mediafire.com/file/sp9ksxaplamjb7i/DTV_Android_7_date_2017-07-25.apk
is not possible for you to convert a rom android 7 from other box with a same cpu?

ROM is 5.1 same as factory firmware. I'm not opposed to looking into updating to 7.x but it is not going to happen this week. Is there a compelling reason or app you have tried that doesn't work? Comment about Gingerbread was a typo when thread was converted to DevDB and has been corrected.

I pulled DTV app from new K1/KIII boxes running 7.1 and it will not install. If there is a Marshmallow version I'm happy to try that otherwise the 5.x version will have to suffice.

Can you give me a link to an OTA update or full 6.x ROM? I totally appreciate the desire to have Android 7.x OS it is just a question of how much time one wants to spend.
the kii pro not have android 6, the dtv is from kIII pro s912.
but the Q-bux have android 6 is same cpu
https://chinagadgetsreviews.com/download-android-marshmallow-6-0-1-firmware-q-box-4k-tv-box.html and test the dtv from kIII s912
or for android 7 the Mecool M8S Pro Plus have almost the same cpu and add the dtv from k1 pro (android 7)
https://chinagadgetsreviews.com/dow...-1-firmware-mecool-m8s-pro-plus-tv-box-5.html
take your time
thnks for all

The firmware at the link provided for the QBox is S905x not S905. The Mecool is also S905x. Did any of the "K" DVB Android boxes have Marshmallow firmware? If you could find a link to download an Android 6.x ROM for any of the "K" DVB boxes that would be helpful.

All I did was convert the 28/02/2017. No additional drivers or apps were added. Which firmware had a complete set of WiFi drivers? You can always pull the drivers and add with ES File Explorer.

    Minor update and likely last as stane1983 is working on Android 6 ROM. Please see first post in thread

    I've been busy with other things but will try to make a zip to install via recovery or TWRP for those that don't have USB-USB cable.

    Just to be clear, is this the procedure?
    1. Short pins 6 and 7.
    2. Connect USB.
    3. Power on the box.
    4. When PC detect the USB, remove the short.

    Also, can give me a clearer picture on where pin 6 and 7 is?

    No, box will be powered on via USB cable automatically. So you don't need step 3. And don't use power supply.

    About pins, count them :) Based on picture, pin number 1 is in top right corner of chip. So, you have:
    Code:
    1
    
    2
    
    3
    
    4
    
    5
    
    6 \
         Short these pins
    7 /
    .
    .
    .

    I hope you don't mind guys for me to jump in :)

    I have this device and a lot of experience with Amlogic devices but never worked with DVB enabled devices. I started working on Nougat firmware (also ATV) for K II Pro. I'll post when some progress is made. Uboot is done, firmware boots but DVB still not working.

    Cheers
