Firs i like to thanks Aidan for is amazing work.

I have flashed my old X92 and it is spectacular how good it feels now to use it, really is great, I have some doubts

+How to install the TWRP?

+The only thing that does not work is the display I would like to install the patch for the display but I have no way to start the TWRP

+Is it normal now that pressing the reset button inside the A / V JAck at bootup does never enter recovery mode?

Any information or help would be greatly appreciated.

Jose A

    Help & FAQ

    USB Burning Tool Cant See Device
    if usb burning tool cant detect your device, and youve tried other ports, cables ect then Mask ROM Mode May Be Needed, See Here
    Youtube Unbrick Guide

    Netflix wont work from play store
    The TV Version of Netflix needs Widevine Level 1 DRM, This cannot be added to your device with a firmware, Patched Netflix Apk Now Available

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

    Disney+ No Sound
    A. Fixed Earlier Release

    No Root
    There Is No Root In This Firmware Because This Is a User Build (Not User Debug)
    User Build: This Is Like The official Android Tv Devices (Like Mi Box), it does not have root or TWRP, Uses Release Keys and is SELINUX enforced
    Why?
    This Makes More Apps Show Up In The Play Store that didn't show before, (Example: Isp Android TV live tv app, only shows in Play Store On non rooted and SELINUX enforced devices, also the streams in the app do not even play in rooted devices.) And other Apps With Similar Issues On Non Certified Devices....

    myCANAL App No Sound...

    Hello Timosat, as I understood I have to find ly remote file and then after several step sut this folder in aidans rom... Where to find the right remote folder for my box? I have the remote.conf from a previous rom can I use this file?
    I read that you use Atvx 4 rom to do this ? You choosed this rom because your remote works with this rom?
    It's a long process with patience. Your remote.conf file has to be renamed to remote.tab1 and use any good file explorer eg mixexplorer and transfer tthe remote file to vendor/etc folder .But before you do this make sure you are rooted. You may try and root Aidan's rom first by patching recovery.Partition method.And see if your remote will work. As for my case yes I use atvx4 rom because I've tried Aidan's rom my remote did not work. So I made (should I call it hybrid) rom.By taking system.PARTITION from Aidan's rom and substitute it in atvx4 and also patching atvx4 recovery.PARTITION with Magisk.Then I repacked and flashed to my box.

    Thanks for the reply and eagerly waiting for manual update. The existing rom is almost like stock one. Happy with it, and the manual update would enhance it further.

    I tried sideloading many .apk for prime video of different versions and both platforms - mobile and android tv. Even tried aptroid.tv app store with someone's suggestions on google.
    However, the mobile versions did not even install. And the TV versions though installed but returned with the same error. Only trailers are able to play. Main content isn't playing and the error "Something went wrong" shows up.

    If you could help me with any working apk for prime video, kindly provide. Just like the netflix you provided.

    Thank you so much in advance Aidan.
    hey v7 is now available, most are uploaded 2 still uploading :)

    hey guys manage to root via Magisk and got ir remote working,still google certified,steps to root
    1. flash rom install magiskmanager & file manager to select recovery.img in magisk

    2. extract rom (AML TOOL L1) copy recovery.PARTITION to device and rename to recovery.img

    3. patch recovery.img and copy back to pc

    4. replace old recovery.PARTITION in level 1 extracted rom with patch recovery.img (rename back to recovery.PARTITION) than flash without wiping data

    5. POWER ON while holding the reset pin in till boot logo just before recovery pops up

    you are rooted

    NOTE setup rom and download apps from the play store to get certified before rooting and if you normal startup with out keeping in the reset pin (flash pin) no magisk no root its like dual booting

    enjoy guys p.m me if yiu need help programming any ir remote and yes remote keeps working in normal mode
