I bricked my new box Tanix TX6S - Allwinner H616 - Android 10 - 4GB/64GB

I wanted to activate the NavBar editing the build.prop - but something went wrong.

Now i got a bootloop and cannot more boot to system. Only i can go to the stock recovery, but i dont have a firmware image to burn it on card with Phoenix Cardburning Tool.

Already contacted Tanix, but no answer (chinese new year?).

Somebody has this firmware?

or can make a backup in the stock recovery tool, so i could try to restore my system with this file in my stock recovery? Is there any possibility?

Thanks for the help.

Nobody can help, on Tanix HP there is nothing. I think very bad from Tanix side to buy this box without offering the firmware image...

is there no custom firmware for the h616 boxes? I just got a box but the UI sucks and is laggy, i'd like to change it anways .
If there is a guide I can try to extract it and provide you, but my box is 4/32

Also got this. There's no way to get Android TV on this, is there? I was happy that this came with Android 10 but Netflix isn't working, HBO isn't working. I don't know what the hell is wrong with it.

Hi.
Install Power Shade:
Grant to Power Shade permissions:
Accessibility and
Access to notifications,
And you will have a functional top bar (status / notifications).
I use it here on my TX6S with stock firmware (Tanix-Box_com-TX6s_android10_20200730.img).
Best regard.

Sorry, I made a mess!

Hi, webipsum
no I didn't mean the status / notifications bar. if you install cinema HD app the remote doesnt work top bar where you got the search button and drop down menu for genre
I am having same issue with RedBox tv app as well the top bar doesn 't work with remote.
I mean top margin of the screen area. I am also running same image (Tanix-Box_com-TX6s_android10_20200730), did some boosting by disabling unecessary apps from startup.
box is running ok, I enabled CEC feature so now my samsung tv remote also works well with the box.

Did anyone manage to do anything with the firmware?
Mine is just an expensive paperweight. Netflix does not work. Nor HBO. Nor my provider TV app. I can't use it for anything and it sucks.

I did some modifications, removed youtube as it comes with ads.
installed all-in-one to disables lots of unnessary apps running in the background.
installed smart youtube tv without ads, cinema hd and other useful apps, it works fine after disabling all junk apps running in the background.

    https://forum.freaktab.com/forum/tv...-2gb-16gb-2-4g-5-8g-wifi-lan-bluetooth/page28 I found this topic in another forum about the Tanix Tx6s.

    It has some links to firmwares that might work well if anyone wants to test.
