Hi,
I hat some problems flashing your Rom with USB Burning Tool as my Sunvell T95x has not been detected.
So I tried flashing the rom with Burn Card Maker. Flashing with SD Card was successful but unfortunately now I'm not able to bring the device in Recovery mode to flash another rom.
The method with the tooth pic in AV Connector doesn't work anymore.
Does anyone have an idea how to get the device ready for flahing another rom?
Would be really great, as I flashed wrong version of Aidan's 9.0 and wifi is not working.

you would need to figure out maks rom mode, short 2 pins, while connect to PC and it will force it to be detected

look here for some more info, start by identifying what NAND chip is in your box

NAND Chip Mask ROM Mode Short Location - FreakTab

Hi Everyone We have created this thread to collect all the NAND pin Short to Mask ROM Mode locations for all our members. Because firmware comes on android

Hello Aidan,

thanks for your ROM. I installed it to 3 Yokatv KB1 to get the bootloader from an Android based 6 to a more modern one.

I run this in combination with coreelec , and it is quite nice.
Sadly the Wifi chip is not supported. Would it be possible to add the driver for:

BCM4335

some technical data are in this post: YOKATV KB1 Amlogic S905X 2G/16G Android 6.0, 802.11AC WIFI LAN BT(2 HDMI In 1 HDMI Out) - FreakTab

Thank you very much

Pelease add drivers for KI Plus KI PRO and others DVB satelite players with DVB-T and DVB-S tuners.
Thanks.
@aidanmacgregor

Greetings. Found information that this firmware can work on KI PRO, but this post said - the tuner is not supported. Has anyone looked into this? Is it possible to transfer the necessary files from the stock firmware?
Thanks in advance.

If i install the patch from 7 version ( Mini M8S II Remote Patch ) is it compatible with the 9?
The remote is same with the Mini M8S II from what i can see.

Remote patches for android 7 won't work in android 9 as the remote structure has changed, it's split across the DTB and remote.conf and remote.tab1 files

The mini m8s ll patch was for android TV 7, this won't work in android 9, I have a mini m8s ll with remote and it works for me, so your remote must have a different IR code

This won't be possible die to stock firmware being older tha android 8, newer kenrel means drivers need recompiled from source, I have a firmware to look into tuners but no timeline or gaurantees

the android tv 7 universal works without the patch for my box, so something change at version 9. How to fix it? some keys works some other have wrong function and most of them dont work.

Hi,

I have tried only the generic, because there the wifi chip BCM was explicit named.

Will circle through all the available firmwares and try these out.

Thx

It's worth a go as some changes made between versions may inadvertently fix another chip in process, example RTL8188ETV needs th QCA version to work evel though it's Qualcomm and not realtek but I only found this out by users testing and letting me know

I have installed this custom rom on my old android tv box X96 (Amlogic S905X, 2GB ram, 16GB storage), and everything is working perfectly.
I was planning to retire this box and was in search for something new, than I found this thread.

Thanks Aidan, thank you so much...

the ir remote is working for you? what version you installed?

I'm planning for ATVx and my ROM to become closer related, including remote and WiFi support, you could try using Ricky's tool to take the dtbo.PARTITION From atvx and try replacing, I will probably do this in the next version anyway but with some tweaks (de bloat so vendor fits withhoit taking up more storage space) notice on atvx the free space after install is 3gb (on 8gb device) Vs 4gb on my ROM and copying the vendor.PARTITION won't work as it's too big for my ROM, so I need to deboat it, If that doesn't work you can also try taking my system.partition, and logo.PARTIRION and replacing said files in ATVx

Use Ricky's Tool and unpack to level 1 to do the swapping

Hmm your box is s905x so not sure what exactly issue is, if you can get any other 9.0 rom to boot I can then look into possible differences, you may need to use my older android TV 7 as this generally works on more devices, some devices don't like the new uboot or DTB

Thank you for the info!!!
I try replacing dtbo.PARTITION from atvx to yours, but the remote still doesn't work.
I try replace the System.partition and logo.partition from yours to the atvx firmware and the remote is working, but it doesn't work the app i need for my ott tv, when i open it, i get error " invalidApiKey" and doesn't run, (the same think happend with the original atvx firmware).
Is there anything else i could try?
