FAQ (WIP)

Q. Netflix wont work from play store
A The TV Version of Netflix needs Widevine Level 1 DRM, This cannot be added to your device with a firmware, FIXED IN LATEST VERSION PATCHED NETFLIX PREINSTALLED

Q. Amazon Prime Wont Work
A. Like Netflix Install the mobile app, the TV version needs Widevine Level 1

Q. Disney+ No Sound
A. Fixed in v7.2

Q. Root Switch Wont Work
A. Unfortunately v7.3 is always rooted and the switch doesn't work (I may offer unrooted versions if there is demand)

NONE OF MY ROMS AND NO OTHER ROMS WORK?
If you have one of these devices that really struggle taking any custom ROM, sometimes these are MXQ devices (there are so many clones of these devices) and they may have a locked bootloader or it needs a DTB that isn't common or known, there are some ROMs that have saved some people before, these are only if no other custom ROMs will work for you and are a last resort

I'm not sure, I would say no but from what I saw s905 just lacks hardware vp9 decoding so if your feeling brave

Hi, great looking ROM, however, can I ask why you have removed root? Is it possible to root at all?

i just haven't been able to get it working correctly yet, still learning a lot about the android ROM structure ect... only started this a few months ago as a mission to make my own s905x box usable and actually bearable to use i would ideally like to have it pre rooted with the switch in settings actually working, but so far have been unsuccessful, It is possible to flash magisk with TWRP on my ROM (TWRP IS PRE INSTALLED BOOT WITH TOOTHPICK METHOD)

Sorry ignore my ramblings about recovery, seems my reset button n my 1GB RAM box is flaky, flashed it at least 250 times past few weeks haha,
Sorted now just have to apply extra pressure, as it worked on my 2gb box

Boot into recovery and flash Magisk.zip

Test its installed correctly by running Root checker.apk

badgerthedon · May 28, 2020

Wow, I'll get on that and take a look. Do I just flash it with the Magisk zip when in recovery?

Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes just flash with TWRP recovery
never got as far as testing adding root with magisk but yhea seems to work, and my aim is to have it so stable that root is mostly unnesicerry and to make it as user friendly as possible ans will be using my firmware when i set up boxes for people in my area

out of curiosity what are you looking to change aor add?

H96 mini

Hello, good rom ! I installed in a H96 mini without problems. The only issue is the wifi. It is not working.

Do you know what wifi module your box has, you can open the device and check if your not sure OR if you have a working ROM i could attempt to extract drivers & FW

Thanks for your fast reply. I can´t post links in the forum( i am a newbie) with detailed information. In the picture below you can see the board . Perhaps you can idenfify the wifi module. The stock firmware can be found in h96tvbox site.

hi, the problem with these boxes there is so many clones, lookalikes ect you really need to look and see, i think i have worked out the what chip it might be but would be awesome if you could look, the WiFi chip always is close to where the WiFi Arial attaches to the logic board

like this notice the SCI wifi module

hi, every box has a diffrent remote, ive included as many as possible blindly, i would need a file from a working rom, i wouls suggest flashing a few roms until your remote works and i can try to addthe remote.conf file

Also if you have a USB keyboard you can use that to get through the set up, then go to settings and enabe HDMI CEC (This allows your tv remote to control the box if your TV supports it)

Oh and game controllers, ps3 USB and Xbox one bluetooth (Maybe others untested)

george-cgs · May 30, 2020

Thank you ??

for ur quick response that is very kind of yoy...
I have a rom that the remote is working on it....can you tell the way to extract the remot.cinfig file from it then how to add it to ur rom or send it to u and u can gratefully add it ......thanks]

aidanmacgregor · May 30, 2020

If you can upload the ROM to google drive or somewhere similar and share the link (you can PM the link if you cant post)

I'm trying to get v7 going on a TX3 Pro (may be real, may be a clone - Nanya DDR, RTL8189FTV WiFi), it's 1G/8G S905X. Aside from TX3pro-specific firmwares, nothing works on it - most do not get past the bootloader stage (red light). It's the same case for yours; however, using the AMLogic tools & overwriting a few files extracted from a working TX3pro-specific firmware (I believe I overwrote UBOOT.USB, boot.partition, bootloader.partition, DDR.USB, image.cfg, and removed _aml_dtb.PARTITION), I was able to boot yours to the boot logo - but no further.

The stock firmware in question is here.
The bottom of this thread contains a few more.
This one was also successfully tested.

Would it be possible to create an adapted firmware? A pointer to the backend steps involved in doing so would also be helpful, I'm quite motivated in experimenting with this device. I will solder up the serial header for further debug output shortly. Thank you!

Ok i have a couple of my older roms that were were my earlier attempts at a decent ROM, they have diffrent base roms and wifi might work, I could then try again or port my ui, apps ect to that rom and it would be a specific build for your wifi chip

I will put links up soon
