MX Linux on G18REF with build 6/5/14
I just received my generic "MX" box which is a G18REF and currently has build JDQ39.20140605. Kernel version is 3.0.50. I would like to install MX Linux on this box and am wondering if I needed to a firmware 1.1.5 downgrade first as I saw mentioned elseware. How can I confirm this? Thanks!

G02 kernel source and config
Hi,
Thanks for these ROMs - working great on my ATV1220 (G02).
Please could you point me at the source code and config used for the kernel build? I see some kernel repos at https://github.com/CoreTech-Development but none that seem new enough given that the release changelog suggests that a kernel from March 2014 is being used.
Has anyone tested any of these roms on Bluetimes MX5 G02ref box.

Mygica atv1200 rebooting over and over
I tried to install the mx Linux build for atv1200 posted in the forum here. it said to run the conversion file first then flash the latest release for geniatech/mygica atv1200. I made the sdcard up following the instructions in the readme file included. when I popped the sdcard in and did the upgrade process, it booted to a screen with the Linux penguin, and a yellow progress bar. I seemed to finish then reboot. but it has been doing that same process over and over for the last hour, and it seems not to be working. I tried to revert back to android but it would not boot. I tried making bootable sdcard with geniatech uboot bin, and mygica rom, but it woin't boot. then I made the sdcard with the mx Linux conversion files again, and it boots, but just keeps rebooting with the penguin screen and the progress bar. any help would be greatly appreciated. seems like there are not a lot of people having the same problem cause I cannot find a solution anywhere.

Hi,
How to un-brick this box.
G-Box Midnight rev 2.2, 4GB Storage, 1GB RAM, A9 Neon CPU.
was running "Linux inside, XBMC 12.2" tried to update to android firmware 1.2.2.
now only getting black screen. The blue light comes on, but none of the firmware i put on my 1GB SD card get me any display. I try holding the toothpick for about 2 mins, but no sign that it is working.
Can't get into recovery, even if i am there no way to be sure.
Can someone help me?
Thanks.
Amlogic M3
I managed to flash an early xios linux "the hydra" xbmc onto my amlogic droid stick but the wifi is completely gone which makes it hard to do anything. For some reason my unit doesn't have a bootloader, nor a reset button (so i'm doing the advancedlauncher -> sh -> reboot recovery way in xbmc) and there doesn't seem to be any other recovery roms available for it.
Figured i'd try the M3 linux from here, but apparently this is configured to assert a getprop for specific hardware. I can change that myself, but when i sign the zip my unit refuses to go past that verification. With this rom the signing verification is fine, but assertion fails. I can fix that myself but how did you go about and sign the zip? I've tried a few different ways (apksigner, jarsigner) to no avail. There is very little information on what recovery (3e) actually checks, any clues on how to resolve that? (All it says is signature verification failed when i sign, with test keys and self made other keys).
Best

Which firmware for generic G18REF

Cheap DX M3 stick won't work.
I just flashed the M3 (f16ref) based one on my cheap Amlogic AML8726-M3 stick (1gb ram, 4gb nand, 1.5Ghz), this didn't quite work out and it seems i can't flash other stuff on it either now. Just want to warn anyone else trying this
Codesnake help needed
I have a square s802 M8. I recently tried several different OpenELEC zips, most zips received NO FOOTER errors and would not install but most of the ones that did install, did not have any access to wireless networks under OpenELEC settings. Including Codesnakes ROMs. They would not allow access to wireless networks. So, I finally came across a Russian zip on xbmc.ru that installed and it is the latest developer zip found at: OpenELEC-Amlogic.S82.arm-devel-20150113183017-r20272-g0481f0c.zip. After zipping it to the s802, I realized it is for the S82. It still worked but it seems to have some bugginess. It is getting stuck on the opening stream window and the working spinning wheel is getting stuck too often. I am used to Stane's MX Linux and got spoiled with speed. Please help, I need a network working .zip with audio/video synced properly and speed. Any suggestions on a more suitable ROM zip? All of codesnake's OpenELEC ROMs seem to not have wireless networks enabled. Is there a way to have ethernet hooked up after installing codesnake's zip and then get wireless by downloading a network setting addon or enabling an OpenELEC setting feature??
I have a Netgear PTV3000 that I use to stream HDMI wirelessly on my AppRadio2 in my truck. This has been working FLAWLESSLY on all 4.4.X ROMs, but when I load a 5.0 ROM the "Miracast" option is now replaced with a "Cast Screen" button. When I try "Cast Screen", my PTV3000 does not show up to connect to. Does anybody know if Miracast is possible on Android 5.0 Lollipop? Has anyone gotten this to work? Thank you for any assistance!
I was having this exact problem. I've got a fix, but I changed so many things I want to nail down the essential changes before I pass it on. Will update soon.
I'd love to know your fix too!

@Neeku, thank you for taking the time to post. I would be curious as to what fixed it, as well. I have found that it seems to be related to the new 12B modem, as I have tried it on the Lollipop Roms: SkyDragon, LiquidSmooth 4.0, and Paranoid Android 5+. I have also found that it does not work on the new 12B Jasmine Rom 4.0. These all no longer work.
Any update?
Any news on this? This is the only thing I've been able to find on this issue.

Miracast on Lollipop
Hi,
Miracast does work on Android 5.x.x.
But, when my Huawei P8max was updated OTA from 5.0.2 to 5.1.1 ,my Multiscreen, which launches the screen mirroring to my Samsung EAD T10 dongle failed to connect....it saw it OK.
My only recourse after messing about for 2 days was to do a Factory Reset....this did the trick and screen mirroring is back.
NOTE: All my data, apps, contacts et al were put back using Huawei's HiSuite app.
Also the factory reset only took 2 minutes.

You misread OP.
He had MDZ16AB exchanged by Xiaomi for a MDZ22AB.
There is ZERO chance to change your MDZ21AA to English version. Best you could do is possibly get partial English menu. Try http://en.miui.com/thread-391907-1-1.html
Yes, he misread, thanks for your answer "bigtalker"...

WIFI Drops and Ethernet Crap on Mi BOX S (MDZ-22-AB)
Since the update to Android 8.1 on my Mi Box S (MDZ-22-AB) im facing random wifi drops and worse WIFI speed on Mi Box. Even if the router is next to the Mi Box it doesnt matter.
Second I tried to connect an usb to ethernet Adapter to the Mi Box. But still the connection is even more worse !
Does anyone know how to switch back (Downgrade MDZ-22-AB) to Android 7 or 6? Its freaking me out. Since the update this thing is a brick. Ive seen that there is a possibility to downgrade the MDZ-16-AB Version
to Marshmallow.
Anyone help please how to solve this issue?
Not Possible, to downgrade you need a rootable (userdebug) rom and this does not exits once your on Oreo.

MDZ22AB shipped with Oreo 8.1 stock, from its initial introduction. Within a few weeks there were 2 OTA 8.1 build updates issued by Xiaomi.
There was never a Nougat or MM version for MDZ22AB.
If you want MM or Nougat, get an original MDZ16AB as it ships stock with MM and can be easily converted to various builds of MM or Nougat.

That's weird because my mibox made an update. After that update that thing is a brick. So that means I cannot fix the problem with slow wifi or Ethernet ?
Maybe ethernet is slower than WiFi cause I'm not using an original xiamoi to Ethernet Adapter?
Thank you
Problem solved:
Guys when your wifi is slow just buy the original mi box ethernet adapter to usb. Its best compatible with the mi box. No more break down

Ask another person to apply power while you hold buttons. Careful not to touch outer ring on remote, only the center button.
Be patient.
As long as you have lights on MiBox you can enter recovery.

Hey. Same problem. There is a solution?
I own the Bqeel 2019 Android 8.1 TV Box Y4 MAX / Amlogic S905X2 Quad Core / 4G DDR4+64G eMMC / Dual WIFI 2.4/5.8G + 100M LAN / tv box Bluetooth 4.0 / USB 3.0/ HDMI 2.1 /4K Smart TV Box .
I have tried many custom roms and none of them seem to work in the correct manner. I am able to use the latest USB burning tool but lot of these custom roms will flop on me after the install process. I feel like there is something usually wrong with the WIFI side. if it is not a wifi problem, then it is the remote control.
I have yet to find a custom rom where I can load and then use the device the way it is suppose to be. I want the remote to work correctly. Keep in mind that I do have a direct Ethernet connection for this device.
I have contacted the original manufacturer hoping that they can send me the original default firmware.
Back to the topic, i am interested in the best, the latest, and the one the works the most for this device. All solutions have failed for me thus far.
ps: i will re try the following .img files that I was able to obtain from FreakTabs
- XTM_ATV_X96_4_4 (this one will not connect to the internet directly. it needs a cell phone or tablet, so i can transfer over the Wifi and Google Account settings. For some reason, this is impossible because it keeps asking for my WIFI password which i have entered many times in the device);
- Poison_S905x2_V2.0 (this one is easy to install but after the install, the GUI seems stuck. I can't open up any apps, and the weather icon is always spinning).
Again, i have tried maybe 5 different custom roms from freaktabs (i am sure they are posted here) and none of them seem to work.
Hello , i have same issue here
i flashed many times with many roms and no one work properly.
Sometimes i have no wifi/ethernet or no remote.
please if someone have the stock firmware of Bqeel y4 max 905x2 4/64go
Post it!!
really sorry for my english

I have the same problem.
I have tried many custom roms but nothing seems to work. Wifi and Bluetooth issues is a problem.
I too need STOCK firmware. I have extra device that is not been messed around with but i do not know how to make back up from stock rom. If i can make stock up rom with one app, i will do it ASAP and perhaps share it.
Edit: So I am able to obtain a back up of the stock firmware via Twrp from my second device, but it is not compatible with the other Bqeel system. All i see is the Bqeel Boot Logo.
I am still able to boot into recovery, and i can also install other custom roms (those custom roms stink).
I still need the orgiinal stock firmware in .img or i need a custom rom that actually works really great.
For those who want to purchase this device, you can but do not mess with custom roms. Just remove default apps and enjoy the default OS.
I contact the seller of my box (bqeel y4 max 4/64go) today
he gonna send me the stock firmware Asap.
I 'll share it when i 'll recieve it.
Thanks

I did the same thing. They sent me the stock firmware. the device works great now! there is another hiccup though. For usb burning tool, you will need some license files. when you load the .img file in the program, it will not accept it. You need the license files (just transfer them in the directory in usb burning tool)
here is the link for license files and stock firmware.

Hi
Can somebody now tell me if firmware from bqeel.net works or not becuse I've seen a loot that say it's stuck at logo screen or it won't boot
Does it work or no?
so far the best custom ATV ported ROM I've found for this box is here: https://forum.freaktab.com/forum/tv...ionatv__bqeel_u214-y8_max_1000m_s905x3-test57
it is due for an update but works as is. I also have a SlimBox ROM that works for the Bqeel but I'll have to upload that to my Mega folder and share the link.
EDIT: nevermind my boxi s the Y8 Max this is asking for the Y4 Max,.

Because the Wi-Fi module is dead. You need to replace it.
Or you need to reboot or factory reset your box when get a problem to enable/connect to Wi-Fi network and the Wi-Fi module is fine.
