Hi,
I also would like to have this rom rooted if anyone can make it. I tried it with android kitchen but no success.
ykhehra1, you have market errors because you have set up your box via LAN, right ? Install the firmware again but don't connect LAN. Set up the system with WLAN-connection. So you can add your gmail account in the settings and make the market work. If you have got this you can change again to LAN-connection. Account-sync is not possible with LAN but the market keeps working. Dunno why but for me it works.
Hope this can help you until somebody can root the firmware for us.
For streaming use MXplayer or better DicePlayer.

Hi you can root this device
first open the usb debugger
ask the ADBpassword
Thanks Gerrit, the password is with regard to the number of ********
I opened this with 12345678
"USB debugging can * only * be used by connecting USB to the USB port INSIDE the A6." "The screws to open the case are under the 4 little plastic knobs on the bottom"
drivers that served me using win7 is the PdaNetA4126.exe
Then you can use any method of root, I served the UnlockRoot v 2.3.1
that's all

from what I previously comment so WIFI is active already rooted the driver should disable the debugger.
the market is working well on my device
Your question you could do a factory reset, do not think it is necessary to be root, only go to about tablet, sytem update, install system update and leave the device resets
I hope this helps you could send the new firmware? because I didn't see anything in the official page

Ok I didnt find any thead about this phone.
I got it yesterday and its awesome it matchs the real thing and the best thing about it is that it has android. I was able to install google play after few hours trying and getting it work.
Anyway my question is that is there a way to have a have The dual system interface ie launcher and android? apparently the v2 of this phone which is coming with a nano sim has the dual system interface. So I was wondering if that is possible?
Also the phone came rooted.

Hey i also have this phone, bought from China from a friend, about a month ago. It is really exactly the same as the real thing apart from the logo on the back isn't similar at all. Apart from that looks identical. I has the iOS skin, and every application works just fine. The only prob i have so far is with the gps which cannot locate although i have tried multiple times on different map and navigation programms(did you have any problem with the gps or is just me?)
About the dual bout you ask i think it's not possible on this model and possibly not on the new model. You have 2 options about the android or iOS look but i don't think it's still possible as far as i have searched it.
With google play also no progress, didn't make it, if you know the solution please help me a bit. Thanks!
zophone i5
i order the zophone from androidforcheap please any idea how to root and install play store
Zophone i5 - Mobile Network Unavailable - however, Net10 sims recognized
Hello,
I haven't been able to find any info on this subject, so I hope that someone out there can help. I recently received my Zophone i5 - of course it's awesome looking and everything seemed to be working fine. When I first cut the phone on - an install happened - didn't get a great look at the fine print. Once the phone came back on - I saw the iOs interface, etc. I was able to change the language setting to English. My problem comes with picking up a signal/connecting to my network. I have Net10, the phone recognizes the sims, however after inputting the APN settings (from their site and others) I have yet to have any luck, Mobile Network Unavailable. I've called and rep said they can see the sims is activated, everything looks fine on their end, but until the phone picks up the network I can't get a number (no calls, sms). Wifi works fine, so I can get online. I tried straight talk sims first and the same issue occured. If I Root the phone do you think that this could fix the issue I am having? My Umi X1 - works fine with straight talk service, so I figured this one would work with ease as well. Any help would be awesome. I really like the phone and want to utilize it as soon as possible. Much thanks.

I don't think you can root the phone but try installing the latest factory ROM, also message the company or seller and they will give you a working Google Play Store APK file to install

I have bought the nano zophone i5, How can I download and use google play? I think it is already rooted because it has superSU pre-installed.
I don't know what to do. Therefore, the phone read my sim and I can call and send text messages but lot of times I miss the data net and I cannot use whatsapp or viber or whatever.

Hi mate,
You have to download snap-pea, you can find it in the web easily, then you have to connect the device with it, you won't be able to download apps from google play because you have not linked the device with a google play account (Im working on it) so you must use 1mobile market, just look for the app you want and click on install, thats it, you can also install this market in the phone and download from it, you should install aptoide also.
By the way, I have the new nano sim version, I don't know how to switch and there is not any dual interface neither options in order to select any system, so I keep on looking for how to link my zophone with my google account.
When I get it I post it, promisse.

Hi guys,
I have a car stereo device made by Pioneer and it supports Android devices up to version 3.2 via USB connection.
I can not stress it enough how much I would like it to communicate with my galaxy which runs a v4.1.2.
The best I got was to download a USB Mass Storage enabler and access the SD card via the USB cable but that's not what I need.
I need the Pioneer device to recognize my phone and to be able to hear whatever the phone is playing.
Any help, advice or redirection would be really appreciated.

That's an option but I really prefer more of a moderate solution that doing that - if there is one.
Besides, I don't know any GB roms and starting testing one after another is really a painful thing to do right now, as I just recently finished configuring everything to match my like, using a sammy based wanamlite rom.
If there is a solution, my question is, well, what is it?
If not, my question is... what GB rom are known as popular, stable, well working and "support USB Mass Storage Class specifications" (that is what Pioneer stated in the car radio device specs)?
So...
Does anyone know how do I go about doing that?
Can anyone please take another look at my question?
About your 'popular GB rom' question: have a look at Checkrom (and make sure you check the GB version, because the ICS version has the brick bug).
Hi Guys,
Maybe you will know how to sorted problem with my android.
I bought rear view mirror (model m-501gpsx-ly) from China with android on it for nav and camera recording. Mirror had very restricted (poor) settings and no google play store to take applications. Seller told me to take apk with play store for android 4.2.2. After installation mirror is dead.
Chinese dude([email protected]) disappear and no answering for emails at all. Mirror is only booting and booting and nothing happens. I can’t check anything with usb cable because usb debugger is not on. May is some program to run from ps and connect via usb to make factory reset or repair android? Or use some program on SD card (slot is available ) and do something like “update”? Of course original ROM is impossible to get from seller.
Thank you very much for help
Best Regards
Dan
Today I opened this mirror and looks like A20 getting over temp because off looping some commands. Is there any chance to do factory reset on A20? and more details about mirror:
model m-501gpsx-ly
android version 4.2.2
firmware version 1.50.6
kernel version 3.4.39 [email protected] #78
build number wing_k70-eng 4.2.2 JDQ39 20150515 release-keys
Did you fix it yet?
Did you solve your problem yet? I have the same mirror. I can help you.

Hi Guys and Oliver, partly I would say yes, a few days ago we got (two of us) a new firmware. I installed this and mirror come back to live. New firmware no make any changes only logo when booting is different
I'm still trying and trying install google play store to have some applications running. For me choice of this mirror was completely error/mistake.
Very poor restricted settings, you cant have normal apk, have to use what sss-car gave you in china language (useless for me), other gps apk doesn't work etc.
I found a few lies/fraud what seller did: check your ram memory is only 500Mb not 1Gb, inside is only one mic not two and camera resolution is far far from HD, angle of camera I will check later but on first view is less than 170, no movement detector for sure.
I was very desperate to fix camera when fail after google play store installation so I opened mirror. On board inside you have outputs ready for antyradar (future probably), and very bad quality soldering - my daughter can make better for sure.
May you have some more luck on this mirror and some ideas how to install good apk and remove chines? I have rooted already but that is not giving you much. Only 2 languages available, no proper settings options and worst: any apk with word google is banned strait away, same with nav/gps apk like GPS essential - no chance to install. Where and how this blocked ? Long digging front of me to fix it I see

Thanks for help and your opinion.

Hey Guys,
I have a couple questions about this android box I purchased that's had me somewhat puzzled.
I have been an avid android user over the past many years. I am familiar with flashing tons of roms to all the phones I have had. Except my s6, it just sucks for roms. Anyways I have purchased the android box in this link (can't post links this new) I can't seem to fine a manufacturer website, I've Google a million things about the box and searched but I can't find anything. even in the instruction book there's no website or anything.
basically I'm looking to figure out how to at least update this box. there's no option in about device. also I don't like how the flash drive on the device is split into nand flash and regular storage. I would like to merge them all into one. I am also looking for custom roms that might enable me to achieve that, however nowhere I look has this box in their forums or anywhere. maybe it's a cloned box? there are other boxes that have the exact same components (or so they say) with custom firmware, however I don't want to chance it and rich bricking this device.
anyone that can offer any help or lead me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. thank you in advance!

I just picked up one of these about a week ago and found instructions to install TWRP and update SuperSU. The box had 'root' out of the box but it was some specialized root based on an old version of SuperSU (1.93 I believe).
I have successfully installed TWRP 2.8.7.0 and updated to SuperSU 2.46.
Since this is just an android tablet essentially, does anyone know if you can flash these ROMs through TWRP?
Not to my knowledge, just use above tool. It will go alive once you are in bootloader with usb otg cable connected to win (of course with driver pack etc. installed). Titanium or else can do that, instead of trying to press reset button while powering on. Of course recovery will go back to default.

Are you running liamstears custom ROM or the 12/22 factory firmware?
The split internal storage is something I would like to do without, but I was wondering if it was changed on the 12/22 factory firmware?
12/22 firmware. Fast and stable.
Havent tried liamstears yet. Feedback if you do please.
awesome thanks! thats what I suspected when I was going through the firmwares for these devices. I just wasn't sure if the z4 rk3368 device would work on this one. I've seen a few brands with z4 and as I know with phones.. wrong brand and you're bricked lol. anyways.. I ended up buying a tronsmart vega s95 telos.. but it didn't come rooted. so I rooted it and now I'm getting play services force close and all sorts of bugs and errors.. maybe I'll just keep the z4. it seems to work better.
what link did you follow to get twrp installed?? same thing I'm guessing, punch z4 twrp in google and eventually come upon the right place.
12/22 factory firmware? mines stuck at Nov 10 I think.. it won't let me update using the rk settings app.. which is why I was fed up with it in the first place lol.
12/22 firmware. Unified 16gb App storage. More available with microsd card. Fully functional Kodi with channels, etc. 4k HEVC x265 movies. Youtube 1080p.
Easiest method to update rom is to put extracted update.img from zip file
http://chinagadgetsreviews.blogspot.ro/2016/01/download-latest-android-lollipop-511.html?m=1
on a sdcard / usb and boot. After about a minute into the Android desktop, system will ask for update prompt. Only applicable to system still with default recovery.
If you have some stability issues or with different recovery, you can backup your apps / data with Titanium etc. and then use above Factory tool restore new rom.
These roms usually come with their own recovery, but some modded ones with TWRP/full root, supersu and all. But you dont really need them.
thanks a lot man! I'm downloading right now and will test it on my box tomorrow after work!
I've tried 100 times and it just keeps saying failed to mount /mnt/external_sd (no such device)
I'm using my USB flash drive.
this is becomming a huge pain in the just to update I'm starting to think why this company can make these products and not have any support or anything for it . and that flash tool is in mandarin and I can't even figure out how to work that. I put in the update.img and press go.. but whenever I try to boot to download mode like you mentioned in one of the posts it just turns off the box.. this thing is literally a piece of junk. and so is this tronsmart vega s95.. same thing. it's extremely frustrating. whoever developed this z4 box did a really chappy job on the firmware.. and I do not recommend it to anyone..
If you had gone through the instructions pdf, it clearly shows how to change into English by pressing the World icon. Remember in bootloader mode the tv screen would be black, if you are using the tool. The big red button will turn into green to show readiness.
For automatic update you dont even have to go into recovery as seen in attached image. Easiest.
Hi Roland,
love to see that there are already XDA-members looking at the Z4 TV box. I have just ordered one and hope to get it within a few weeks. Just some dumb questions, hoping you can provide me with some information:
- I see that there are several 'versions' of the Z4: for instance Acemax, but I have ordered the Andoer. Are those just different manufacturers?
- Are there any differences in model/content (installed app's) per manufacturer?
- If my Andoer turned out to have an older firmware than the 22/12, could I still use the Acemax 22/12 firmware you refered to in your link?
- Kodi will be preinstalled, I saw. I do not know what version of Kodi that will be, but can it just be updated to the most recent version in the Google Play Store?
- I do not know what other apps are installed, but is it possible to de-install apps you do not need, or are they part of the firmware and impossible to delete
I know, part of the answers I surely will discover once I got the Z4, but I just can't wait to start experimenting, even it is only in my mind
Thanks in advance!
Jos
hi Roland
I tried that batch tool first which is the one I couldn't change languages in lol. but the other tool with the red button I changed into English. however I did not know that it would remain blank when in download mode. I will have to give it one more go tonight with it. I figured that I loaded it into bootloader and the z4 box light turned red so I thought it was off and didn't load to bootloader.
I also did the USB update and it would just fail on me every time I used it. the update prompt did come up and I pressed install. perhaps I need to check if USB debugging is on. I think it is but it wouldn't hurt to check. but I think I will have to go through the factory tool to update way for sure.
thanks for your help roland, I will write back after I give it another go tonight!
i can't find the 22/12 update ! can anybody share the link direct to firmware ?
@DriftJos
l have got an Andoer too. Most of these brands come from the same hardware factory and thus have the same specs/apps.
Yes you will use the same firmware https://mega.nz/#!JBBXgDgC!VSra8Hc6KR77Pvdw67eDpjeT_ku-TXdYgYaInSAfyvU (direct link @prisim) or several user dev roms. Unified 16gb app storage etc and the works.
You can uninstall bundled Kodi (by Titanium free etc.) by official Kodi Jarvis 16.0 beta 5 & such with pass-through support test builds @ http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=252852
Again you will be able to uninstall useless apps directly or through Titanium.

Always mention the firmware version you are having and which recovery? The automatic update should work if you still have the factory recovery.
Check the FactoryTool process in attached images.
I'm trying to flash the firmware that I downloaded from that China gadgets site that was mentioned on this thread. I think it's the stock 12/22 for the device. and I have stock recovery.
I extracted the update.exe file and saved it to my USB drive plugged it in and restarted. relieved the update prompt. chose install update and it rebooted into recovery and tried to apply the update but it fails. I'm not ready to give up yet with this device lol. it's just another platform I have to learn. it took me a bit with smartphones to figure it out back in the day.. perhaps it's the same thing now..
and I'm updated to 12/22.. awesome. those pictures really helped me man thanks.
now as for installing twrp and all that. you mentioned that it's not really needed? I'm assuming I can flash any rom given they are in .img format using factory tool. however the benefit of twrp would be an easier interface for creating nandroid backups and clearing cache/factory reset. perhaps I will install it. i might give leamstears rom a try. I will let you know how it is if I do.
thanks again!
so I updated to the new 12/22.. everything works fine except with Google play store.. I keep getting a can't retrieve source error with everything I try to download. I've refreshed and factory reset the firmware 5 times now and kept trying.
so I got fed up with the stock so I tried leamstears rom and it works great.. except sometimes it just becomes completely unresponsive. I'm starting to think there is something wrong with this box. even on stock firmware from the box I've been having issues with unresponsive freezing.
what do you think of the nvidia shield?

The PlayStore error you were seeing is because the 12/22 firmware comes with a *very* old version (5.2.x). The PlayStore will eventually update everything to the latest version by itself but if you don't want to wait, go over to apkmirror.com and download PlayStore 6.0.5 and install it manually. Once you do, it should also update the Play Services to 8.4.x and your should be good to go. I had this issue as well but I had seen it before and knew I needed to update.
So far the 12/22 version has been great, and having the unified internal storage is a huge plus.
If you feel so inclined, knowing that some of the custom builds of Kodi take up a large amount of space... there is this trick that was introduced in Helix:
http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Change data location for Android
This will allow you to have only the Kodi app on internal storage (~125 MB) and any data from addons/programs etc. in another location (such as an external SD).
I often
1. Install Kodi on internal storage
2. Zip up the contents of org.xbmc.com directory
3. Copy it to external storage
4. Unzip it in /external_sd/kodi_data
5. Create the xbmc_env.properties file that references my Kodi data location.
6. Delete the contents of /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.com/
Voila! You have freed up internal storage.... You can also persist a Kodi setup this way or run multiple custom installs. If you re-image your media box, you can re-install Kodi and as long as the xbmc_env.properties points to your external_sd with your Kodi data, it will start right up back into your setup... :good:
HI folks
I need some help.. I did a search but cant pin a open thread. if one let me know and sorry for posting.
I bought from aliexpress one of these googletv boxes
H96 PRO+ Amlogic S912 Octa-Core TV Box w/ 3GB DDR3, 32GB ROM
android 6.x on it
normally the tv boxes will boot to recovery.img on sd card root but this one just always boots
to its internal recovery..
has anyone managed to get twrp working on it as I need to do a nand backup
I see its got new permission to my other box which boots fine.. new feature of driod 6?
perhaps I need to copy recovery via windows pc to sd card root instead?
what am I doing wrong.. I dont want to flash over internal one if can help it. and not even sure if that works
or bricks it.
thanks a lot
Paul

Hi.
Is this box rooted?
If yes, try to use terminal emulator app and execute the "reboot update" command.

I was after someone who owns that same box can confrim a procedure they used
yes it came with root.. I just had to do update superuser
how come apks that reboot to recovery dont have that option like simple reboot.
dont you need the zip versuon for update? I did try booting to recovery and update from FS and select the update.zip
a dummy file someone made but it didnt work.
I see someone has twrp in zip for this older box
http://www.modaco.com/forums/topic/377557-recovery-twrp-302-0-for-nexbox-a95x/
but needs to be beelink GT1 which has 912 chip
-- I heard flashify or similar is a tool people use to switch recoveries but how safe is it.. can be sure
its updating the right partition with 3rd party stuff.
its not exactly booting from sd card.
if only theres a app that could boot to recovery.img on sd card or OTG that would be nice.

from what i read.. update also replaces the recovery partition? not boot to sdcard one.
I found russian site.. that claim to boots from sdcard but dammed if mine will go..
I checked it on a PC the recovery.img is there.
Im sure i have right one but I try grabbing their version and retry.
http://translate.google.com/transla.../forum/lofiversion/index.php?t764777-640.html
Ok I have found a way to get it to work.
I downloaded their image
https://yadi.sk/d/DB7l0Do2wQQ3W
TWRP_Beelink_GT1.img
followed this
To run from removable devices and media, micro SD card (connect without using a USB-Hub):
1) format the media in the Fat32 system;
2) Copy the root of the media file recovery.img;
3) disable the power supply from the box, press and hold the "recovery" through the hole on the bottom box (click "recovery" let go after 5 seconds)
switch on the power supply box into the outlet - launched TWRP Recovery.
has all languages in this version but default is english.
seems using simple booter apk to boot to recovery boots but goes to
stock not the sdcard image as well..
have to use side switch.. kind of annoying. but atleast it works.
must be something in the boot hardware process with button that check sdcard first???
backup worked no lock ups.. smooth as.
Just unboxed the new H96 Pro Plus and can't get the darn Rii mini i8+ keyboard to work at all on the android box? I have tried pairing it to the devices Bluetooth & unpairing it and just trying to connect to it with the dongle. Neither will work. Now if I pair it to my tablet everything (mouse pad, keyboard, & D-pad) all work instantly.
Anyone else experiencing this? Have any idea why it won't work? Have something to do with the other remote?
A different Bluetooth keyboard paired immediately... My problem is the normal remote won't power the box on. Anyone else got this problem? About to send it back

it worked without a clue on mine. i guess your device is defective. send it back as long as your warranty lasts.
change launcher settings
Hi guys,
how can i change the settings of the home screen of the box. launcher Mediabox.
I want to exchange the big icons "YouTube" and "GooglePlay" with other ones.
Second question: what does this blue swipe icon on the top right screen do? There is a rocket starting, when you click it.

Not sure what you mean by "without a clue on mine"
I don't believe the keyboard is defective as it works with Windows based systems and it works perfectly on my phone which is android based.
I received an email reply from the company I bought it from saying the device is rooted and now the Bluetooth does not work...even though their advertisement prominently says that it's Bluetooth capable. They offer no other assistance...LOL
Obviously in the rooting process something was changed/removed regarding Bluetooth, you would think that since they are aware they would offer some type of patch, but no.
Hey guys I've got a big problem with my H96 Pro+ S912 3/16 box. Can someone please provide a step by step tutorial on how to reflash stock? Thanks in advance!

Just to stop the repeating for a while:
You can't change the launcher without modifying the APK or depending on the type of system the corresponding ODEX as well.
But you can install a different launcher and use that...
And the recovery will never go to the SD card unless you actually have a recovery on the SD.
You might be able to select the SD to install an update through the stock recovery but that's about it.
Port a TWRP for the box and all should be good.
Otherwise connect to PC and do a manual nandroid backup through ADB.

use nova launcher, there is no way to customize its main launcher. blue swipe icon is functional on mine.
just got mine
has android 7.1 on it
Good luck with Android 7!
I hope they did not include the entire system partition for the new security features.
Keep us posted on what you do and how it works.
