[ROM] Aidan ROM [v9] [Netflix] [Prime Video] [Disney+] [S905X-S905W-S912-S905X2-S905Y2-S905X3-S905W4-S922] [Google Play Certified] [ATV 9]

Hi Aidan,

I tried a few variations: [S912]+[ATV+9]+[DDR3+&+DDR4]+[LAN1000],
[S912]+[ATV+9]+[DDR792]+[LAN1000]+(qca9377)+(H96+Pro+Plus...),
[S912]+[ATV+9]+[SLOW+EMMC]+[DDR3]+[LAN1000]+(M96X+TX9S+M96X+Plus..),
[S912]+[ATV+9]+[SLOW+EMMC]+[DDR3]+[LAN1000]+(Slow+EMMC+4.5+Devices). Unforunately , none of them works. It either hangs at boot logo, or is in a reboot loop.

The hardware is U2C X-plus: S912 core, 2G DDR (Micron MT41K256M16), 16G emmc (THGBMAG7A2JBAIR), 1G Lan (RTL8211F), and AW-CW273SM ( QCA9377 based) wifi+BT.

You recommended starting with a working img and replacing log/system/product partitions with yours. Do you know which variation you had is closest to my hardware? Also, the working 7.1.2 image doesn't have production partition. Should I use your one as the baseline, and copy over boot/recovery/_aml_dtb partitions? One of hurdles is _aml_dtb partition: dts show yours and mine are quite different. What's your recommendation? Should I used yours as baseline, as it matches kernel/drivers better? If so, which sections should I port over besides custom_maps/ethernet?

Hello friends, do I have to root my android tv box first before installing this firmware? It says [ROOT] in the title. Thank you

Hello, I tried to install a VPN app on V8 on a Meecool M8S PRO (eth 100 variation) but it then disconnects from internet. The box is using cable of course, but when activating VPN it somehow shows that ethernet cable is disconnected (no internet until unplug/re-plug).

Yes you can flash your stock firmware back, there is a small chance you'd rest button won't work (it may have different GPIO pins for the button, if this happens then mask Rom mode can be used to force it to be seen by the tool (it makes the tool think your NAND Iis empty ready to be flashed) the s905x3 testing version is available here https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1rXx_Klrfmf5kIGT-KLDbDpJspQqGIpt5?usp=sharing
Mas a minha não passa de 1%, está pedindo password, ROMCODE. Como se estivesse bloqueada para aceitar outra ROM

Follow this tutorial. You can use Chrome to translate russian to english.




I have a friend that flashed slimbox firmware to a F3 Air and followed those instructions.


Força nisso!

The chip on is is the Hynix 9TQ64ABJTMC
Which from my read of this datasheet implies it is a LPDDR


The other NAND chip on the board is
FORESEE
NCEMASKG-16G

The full model number is s912-2G-16G-AP6255 2GB EMCP-v1021. From what I have read it is a later generation clone of the sunveil.

All attempts to flash with a regular DDR3 rom (both aidans and others) resulted in failure with error
[0x10105002]Romcode/Initialize DDR/Read initialize status/USB Control setup error

Flashes were all attempted with USB burning tool, with the reset, followed by USB plugin, then power connected after it was detected by the host.

DId you find any solution after all?

My T95Z Max 2G/16G uses same LPDDR. None of three images works, the box just doing reboot loop after flashing the image. For now I cannot find any working ATV firmware working on this box. Only the non-atv version with 7.1.2 works (Poison4.3) . Any suggestion for the debugging?

I did not get a solution. At the moment, the box is sitting abandoned since I can't find a good firmware to run on it.

hello
I have a x96 max plus Q2 and I am using the version for the x96 Max plus 2 (since it is the only one that boots)
The problem I have is that after a few reboots, both the internet and the ethernet stop working ... the play store and other apps tell me that they have no internet connection, while the browser runs without problems, can someone help me with that?
hmm really odd behavour :)

First of all big thanks to AidanMacGregor for this amazing rom.
I have it running on my T95Z Plus for a couple of months now.The version of my box has 3/32 with lp ram and AP6255. I tried all lp ram-versions and it was the same for all
- wlan works
- lan does not work
- bluetooth connects to devices but e.g. no sound on bluetooth earbuds.
- internal display not working

Since about a week the netflix app does no longer work and shows up with error ui-113. Connection check in the details section shows positive feedback for all netflix servers. Tried everything to get it running again but without luck:
- full reset of netflix app
- uninstall and reinstall
- tried the new version with fix as geura
- full reset again
- restart the box+router
Any suggestions how to solve this problem?

sorry netflix hates us and blocked the workarounds, current soloution is to use rave

Hi Aidan,
Thank you for all your work on Firmwares for the Android boxes!
I have one problem though... I have multiple Boxes and all work fine... Just one Box does not want to work with your firmware...
It is an MXQ Pro (S905W P281 board) I tried all your firmwares but either the remote; the 3 USB connection, the WIfi or the Bluetooth does not work.....
However I did find an (original?) Android 7 image that has everything working but is ****loaded with bloatware...

Would you be willing to "adapt" that image? I am sure there are more takers out there.... I would love to run your image on this box.

The Image that does work is MXQ PRO 905w_ssv6051_8g1g2g_171101_SD_USB.

If you need the image just let me know and what is the easiest way to get it to you?

Thanks in advance!
hi, unfortunatley android 7 stuff is not too useful here unfortunatley, some devices just tomt accept 9.0 roms, can be 3d nand or just an odd DTB structure to ram type/speed issuees, hard to say further :)

    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
    SORRY NETFLIX KILLED THE TV NETFLIX MOD

    Use RAVE Or The MOBILE APP

    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...

    updates to S905W & S912 are slow due to not having test devices, makes stability improvements hard to diagnose, wifi improvements should be easier to add without testing and i will do this ass soon as i can, i have been working on a private project in most of my free time so not had a chance to further refine these chips, thanks for being paitent :)
