Alright guys, I might be asking the golden question here!

But, why does this T95 4GB 64GB device just keep restarting itself? Soon as I try to use any app or even manage the settings, it eventually just reboots itself!?

I have scoured the web for answers, can anyone help with this? I've got the latest firmware version 27 which I believe was released in June 2021,so I'm baffled about this as I've literally JUST bought this POS lol!

Thanks in advance 👍🏾

Hello everyone. I read the whole thread before posting this. I am attaching the two sides of my board as well. I bought it from here. It is supposed to be an H96 Max H616 4/64 version. It does have bluetooth which I have been using with a keyboard. WiFi does not list my 5G network though, only the 2,4G one. The stock firmware does NOT have a root switch in developer settings. Can you please confirm which board version I have and suggest me the latest/best firmware to flash? Thanks a lot in advance.

UPDATE:
I found this thread on 4pda and I managed to install the rooted firmware they have, which appears to be the latest stock version (20201124) with the addition of root. After installing Magisk v23 apk, I had root access and installed Adaway. The front display is working normally. The box can also detect 5G wifi networks now! I lost the back button functionality from my third-party remote but I was able to restore it using the Button Mapper app. I believe this is the best firmware I can find for now. I will let you know for any additions or new firmware I find.

I have attached T95-H616-A27 Wifi Dual Band firmware.
After flash, your ram and rom might go back to actual size.

this isn't the same box that this thread is about, the box in this thread is supposedly android 10.
the little I've learnt about cheap Chinese TV boxes is that the model number means almost nothing. there are probably 10 different T95 boxes on the market. the companies making these boxes not seeing specific device naming as an issue indicates they don't see them as products they intend to stand behind. they're produced, sold and forgotten.
even products from the same manufacturer with the same model number can have different components making them incompatible with their namesake devices.
people open up their boxes to identify the chips so they can have a better idea about which firmware might work on it.
buy a UGOOS box or a Beelink if you want some more real.

There are a few clones available of this model , eg the justop nanomax allwinner H6 is a clone of the t95 max , they also brought an android 10 version out which is the same as the t95.
I messed around with them for a while but they're all crap tbh , buggy firmware , no support .

I bought an ugoos am6 plus and run slimbox rom on it and have not looked back since .
There was one custom firmware for the T95 that made the box a bit more usable , however as you say they are forgot about and most links to the customised roms are dead .

Hi everyone, i use my boc T95 H616 allwinner 4+32GB
Anychance for this device can use Netflix ver for Android TV, not netflix ver for mobile ?

It's not working,anyway tks u
anyone have netflix ver ATV can work on this box T95,don't need 4K,JUST need HD or at leas
I got T95H 2gb/16rom Allwinner around one week and Netflix 4.16.1 works fine for the remote. i just saw there's 4.16.7 on Apkmirror. I'm ain't positive sure about the resolution.. but i think it's 854x480.

Maybe this will help to future/now users..... i got me the cheapest box on amazon.de. It's T95H Allwinner H616.

Comes with Android 10 and root switch (i ain't joking), preinstalled apps like APKpure, Aptoid tv, AirScreen., Kodi . etc. Wich ofc i deleted them. They can't be uninstalled, on every boot they keep showing up.

The native DPI of the device it's 213 (tvdpi), but the android it's fixed to 160dpi, 1280x720 px. So the latest Android TV Disney+ app can be used if you change the DPI from 160 to at least 195, just enough to change the settings in Disney+ to "save" data if you wanna watch... and after that restore to the original DPI (if you wanna)

I don't wanna bother more to flash ROMs and stuff. For the price i got what i needed.. watching on TeaTV without streaming or HDMI. And Tubi, Plex, Kodi,Prime, IPTV over 7000 channels... and other stuff

T95-H616-A27 Wifi Dual Band bellenimi ekledim.
Flash'tan sonra, ram ve rom'unuzdaki gerçek boyuttana geri dönebilir.
merhaba açılış logosunda kalan t95 bu yazılım ile düzeltim sayenizde. versiyon x27 yükleyince wifi açılmıyor, a27 versiyonunda ise wifi düzeldi. tek sorun hafıza 2/16gb görünüyor?

hello.. i have a Sidiwen T95 Android 10.0 4GB RAM 32GB ARM Allwinner Cortex-A53 with WiFi 2.4G and 5 Ghz ,Ethernet, USB 3.0.

sidiwen_t95.jpg

my original Firmware was 10.1.A19 (with root switch, netflix / amazon / aptoid / kodi / google play). Because the OTA update never was working, the seller send me links to update it with this version : T95-H616-A29-0110

the link to procedure and software doc/video/software to update :

the link to the firmware .img rom :

if this can help someone...

note: i didn't update at the time i'm writing so don't throw me rock if you use it and bricked your own device

EDIT: the seller add that this version work for any wifi version (only 2.4ghz, or 2.4+5Ghz )

    Just thought I would post regarding this box. Not much information on it.
    I bought on a whim without realising the one thing I wanted was missing (Bluetooth). However the box has grown on me.
    Its powered by the new Allwinner H616 Chip. However its performance sucks. For some reason they have forced CPU to 1.4GHz all the time. No point in my opinion, it just causes it to heat up for no reason.

    Anyways, it comes fully rooted. I did try and install SuperSU, ended up killing root. So I reflashed it using usb flasher. There is also a new firmware update, which shows when doing wireless update.
    Firmware released is 10.1.12, update takes it up to 10.1.14. So I did update and then factory reset to start fresh. The only problem is, rom is such a mess. App folders every where and system is filled to 100%. I deleted bloat in /system/pre-install folder.

    I stopped rooting stuff years ago, so Magisk is newish to me. I thought I would try Magisk manager. Worked great, was able to install Magisk. From then on all root apps worked as I was able to set root access, which is something I could not do before. I also installed kernel auditor and set read ahead on and tweaked the build.prop. This helped speed it up, now stuff like Emulators no longer jerk and stutter.

    One downside, Prime video does not work, you have to use Amazon Video (which is their browser alternative).

    So hope this helps anyone with the same box.

    Here is the latest firmware with working Wifi

    T95-H616-A24


    Well I don't or can not explain where got this you know after about 20 tries of different methods using other roms ect I ran across this. T95-H616-A25.img and i said what the hell stuck inthe old tooth pick and it completed which was a shock. So all i did was toggle Root switch and installed a X-plore file manager and sure enough I get into root. Now I am tired i can not tell you if all of BT dual wifi ect works I can say for sure it does load up with usb 4.0 and you do get root.

    T95-H616-A25.img = https://mega.nz/file/K8423QyD#0hO5-fR8gm5RUIoENVxwuzYVZv46paOOowFKZVaarKE

    I take it back I looked through web history and I found it here "https://www.turewell.com/pages/tvbox-document"
    Can you confirm that the A24 is a chipset version? Because the firmware has different letters and numbers (X18, X19, A21, A24, etc.) and the names Pixel2/MBOX.

    This firmware "T95-H616-A24" is 10.1.A24_20210315-1615 and is designed for 2GB/16GB. I don't have 5G WiFi, so I can't confirm if it's for the Dual WiFi version. Version A21 does not work on my device. I have 4GB/64GB with Dual Wifi and firmware was 10.1.A24_20210315-2036 MBOX. This "1615" have slower WiFi speed on 2,4Ghz.

    Has anyone tried to investigate where the update system will connect? So you can download the latest original firmware from the manufacturer? How do I identify the device manufacturer if it is not displayed on it? I need original firmware for my device.

    I have this box on magisk 20.4 direct install T95 h616-10.01.14. X18

    Have had it for while now it works well with all the apps gms store etc using magisk hide. I will dig out the firmware and post for anyone who wants it. Decent firmware with build.prop tweaks etc applied.


    Originally posted by @3mel here is an updated link to T95 MBOX 06.24.20.X18 ROM With Magisk 20.4 just update manager app if need be.


    I've found this to be the best firmware for this box, there is a root switch in settings>about menu
    Leave this be as magisk will work with things like adaway because it has system less root.
