Hi @SlimHouse just so people are aware there is a new revision of the X96max + 2/16gb that uses a different WiFi /ethernet driver, different from the rest. This new box is named X96max+_Q1. All the slimbox custom firmwares boot and install via UBT perfectly however, the wifi and ethernet do not function properly and fade out intermittently.
I have enclosed printout of Aida64 FYI
I have tried to obtain root on this version 20201209 and it will not root anyway shape or form.

It's on the slimtv website in the X96 Max Plus thread only and in red letters:

"Attention! The firmware does not fit new consoles with 100 lan!"

Althought i don't really know if the translation is 100% accurate but maybe this 10.5v it's only for 1000 lan boxes i guess!!!

OK thank you for replying, I did not see that warning/notification on the site.
I guess there is no development for this box then? I went back to original firmware nonetheless.

Already on Slimbox TV 10.5. Everything fine here. Two good things, firefox and new theme for now. It seems ViperFx is working now and more themes? Some new stuff on developer section and in auto refresh rate section. Will test more now.

One problem remain, the video in the google play store from redbull, that one in the snow is jerky. I think it's flash video or something.

has anyone tried the slimbox x88 King firmware on a beelink GT King. the spec seems to be identical (other than the Bluetooth) and I read on another forum that one user has managed to install it on a 922X version. I'm going to try it tonight on my B922 and see how it goes. will update here.

shouldn't the update also work on the included updater on the box? or is there just a delay?

Just installed 10.5 over 10.4 on X96 Max+ and can't find Firefox in apps. Also ViperFX still don't seem to work (didn't work for me on 10.4, all radio buttons disabled in settings). Beside this a great ROM! Thanks @SlimHouse.

In Slimbox settings, root is the first just click twice and it's rooted. Can't go any easier i guess.

@SlimHouse Would you guys add more display settings for the next patch? Like adaptive HDR and HDR priority settings would be really nice. By the way I have the tanix TX5 plus deluxe edition with the latest stock newton firmware (not u211) 20201224. Tanix has developed these HDR settings and they work really well. It would be great if you can use this newton firmware as the base for the next slimbox ATV ROM for TX5 plus. :)

Dear @awibabau
thank you, but rooting is clear to me, because I am using Slimbox-Rom since many releases.
But the rooting you have described is "Superuser" and not "Magisk".
Magisk is much more powerful and supported by many apps, which only work with Magisk and not with Superuser (like "De-Bloater").
That was the reason, why I had asked @Bertonumber1 how he has rooted with Magisk.

@SlimHouse I tried the P3 rls and experienced BT issues (disocnnects). Latest stock dated 08/20 solved this issues. I guess SLIMBOX is based on older stock?

yeah that's the only thing. I think I'll wait to see if slimbox can add gt King to the list of compatible boxes. sounds like the boxes are very similar spec.

I have found out how to root SlimRom with Magisk:

1. Root SlimRom via the settings
Then you will have "Superuser" rooting.

2. Install TWRP
You don't need to, but you can install your TWRP image permanently via the TWRP app:

Download TWRP for twrpapp

Download TWRP Open Recovery for twrpapp
dl.twrp.me

3. Extract boot.img
You need to extract "boot.img" in TWRP:
Code: 
cat /dev/block/boot > /sdcard/boot.img

4. Patch the stock boot.img with Magisk manager app
Install Magisk manager apk.
Press the upper install button and select the stock boot.img.
Magisk will create a patched boot.img.

5. Now unroot in SlimBox settings

6. Flash the patched boot.img in TWRP by selecting install, then image, then choose the file, to "boot"

7. Finally flash Magisk.zip in TWRP

You need to have a stock rom for your device.
Ideally a zipped rom, so that you can extract the "boot.img" out of it.

In case you have an img-file, than you need to extract "boot.img" out of it via Amlogic toolkit:
github.com

GitHub - natinusala/linux-amlogic-toolkit: Allows to unpack and repack AMLogic images for Android 7 without the Customization Tool

Allows to unpack and repack AMLogic images for Android 7 without the Customization Tool - natinusala/linux-amlogic-toolkit

By this you can extract the stock boot.img from the stock firmware.

This is only good for android 7 images, Android 9 (which most people are using) is totally different.
To root slimbox you only need patch the current boot.img
In twrp :
cat /dev/block/boot > /sdcard/boot.img

Then use magisk to patch the img

Reboot to twrp

Flash the patched boot.img to boot.

Reboot

    UnPack Superceleron's firmware, taking bootloader files(with Explorer file manager):
    DDR.USB, UBOOT.USB, bootloader.PARTITION

    Unpack Level 1, Sbx firmware and paste/overwrite these bootloader files with your file manager.
    Rebuild and burn your modified Firmware.
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    Tried using this method for H96 Pro+, took the files from 7.1.2 SHMOD and packed them into the H96 Pro Plus listed on Slimbox webpage (listed ones are only for LPDDR3, and mine is DDR3.), but no luck. Flash was successful, however it got stuck on the Slimbox boot animation, never progressed to the animated one.

    However, I managed to successfully find a working version afterall. My H96 Pro+ is a CZ-S32-V2.2, 64GB/3GB DDR3, qca9377 with Gigabit LAN.
    First version that I found here was X92 SBX, flashed successfully, remote worked, but Bluetooth kept constantly crashing.
    Second version was recommended to me in the SBX Telegram group. It was the Tronsmart Vega S96 SBX. That one flashed successfully, everything seems to be working fine, LAN didn't test yet, but since both are Gigabit, I'd expect it to work. Only thing was the Remote control did not work. So I unpacked the X92, where the remote worked, to Level 1, found the files in vendor/etc and used a USB and MiXplorer on my H96 to replace the files in vendor/etc (requires Root) and presto, remote working again.

    Maybe I could try swapping the bootloader files from X96 to H96, but don't see much point as everything so far seems to be working. Very nice upgrade from Android 7.1.2 to 9.13 afterall.

    Leaving this wall of text here, hopefully it helps out someone in a similar situation.

    P.S. Now if I could only figure out how to properly flash Magisk...

    If you have a high quality T.V.:
    * Capable of 600 -- 2000 nits (more is better).
    * Dynamic tone-mapping
    * Inky blacks supported by superior locl dimming.
    HDR, HDR10, HDR10+ Dolby Vision(work in progress) can be amazing .

    Peak brightness is probably one of the most important aspects of HDR. If a TV has llittle (100-400 nits) HDR peak brightness, it won't display all the highlights of the content.

    High contrast ratio and a local dimming feature is important for a good HDR experience; the TV can display bright and dark highlights without loss of details.

    xx My current (and previous T.V.) does Dolby Dark(...Dolby Murky) with muddy grey blacks. 4K Bluray was miserable to view !.:rolleyes:

    Due diligence: Check for your T.V.'s implementation of Dolby Vision (work in progress - dark and broken even on High end T.V.'s .) Being replaced by Dolby (Luminace?)?

    This is Most Excellent Reaper Man !!!!

    Have been researching Dolby Vision for the last 6 months or so.
    Especially with all the work/ progress from
    CoreELEC..

    Only to find out we have Samsung TV.s

    They Do Not Support Dolby Vision

    Theu use HDR10+
    Which is Dolby Vision competitor
    Or Samsung equivalent to...

    So not only would I need a Box with suffix -J/K
    I would also need new TV.s

    Dolby Vision is overrated

    Hahaha 😆

    Anyone know why the keyboard on Air Mouse isn't working? I have one of those generic 2.4G USB Air Mouse Remote Control that has a keyboard on the back, and this is the first ROM where it isn't registering any key. The Back button also only works when the mouse is activated. Using Slimbox 54 MOD version for Beelink GT King Pro.

    The Air Mouse keyboard works fine on stock Ugoos AM6B+ firmware and on Slimbox 9 H96 Pro+, hence my question.

    Yeah, for some reason the slimbox version of the H96 Max X4 only sees 2g of the 4g. I have the same problem. The firmware runs great but only with 2g. He's got a mod listed but there's nothing there.
