Use this method to flash the box:
h t t p://androidpcreview.com/how-to-use-the-amlogic-usb-burning-tool-to-manually-update-firmware/3749/
You will need an usb to usb male cable. Connect to usb1 on the box. No power cable needed.
Worked for me.
are there newer images.. I bought one of these

[Genuine] T95Z Plus 2GB 16GB 3GB 32GB Amlogic S912 Octa Core Android 7.1 OS Smart TV BOX 2.4G/5GHz WiFi BT4.0 4K pk X92 h96 pro+
I got the 3g/32g rom was fast and seemed ok android 7.1
until I upgraded or installed the superuser from chain DD said installed ok and asked to reboot which
I did for it only to hang on the boot animation... so very sad
I suspect its altered or written to the wrong partition?
now need to reflash
recovery works with toothpick
is there a image for this new update? and can it be flash from recovery from sd card so dont need a pc
as pc cable method is more a pain

I add the info for others with bricked boxes or bad ram.. reformat reflash can bring them back
also try a new power pack.. often the voltage degrades over years and drops too low
I used the 3gb with the flashing tool usb to right sid port... leave power plug out.. and insert toothpick and
connect usb from pc.. should beep if pc detects device on USB and the tool should show finally

The above link for 2GB is not working, also can you please clarify for which WiFi chip is the above firmware? There are three versions of T95Z Plus: WiFi 8830, WiFi 6330 and WiFi 6335. If one flashes the wrong version, then WiFi will not be working on his box...
Thanks for this thread. I am fighting with a T95z PLUS 3/32GB stuck on boot. I am going to try the above ROM (the one in gdrive is still available) as soon as I can get a USB cable, and report the results.
EDIT: Is there a way to flash from SD? I have no usb-to-usb cable to try right now, I am going to have to buy one and wait for it...
EDIT 2: Flashed through SD directly. Extracted the contents to a FAT32 formatted SD card and inserted it in the T95Z Plus. Booted normally and proceeded to "upgrade". The box is working right now. Sound are wifi are working - cannot say more than that so far. I don't know if the version is older than the original that came with the box, but I guess it should be possible to update if necessary (not sure how, though).
Thanks @kiwiman2000!
I can see from the boot screen that the firmware posted for the 3/32GB model by Kiwiman2000 with which I recovered my box is the 20170623 version. I know that the one my box had before rescuing it was 20170807, so it is possible that somewhere a newer version is available. The OTA updater is not finding anything online, though. In the meantime I will stick with this working version, and if I happen to find an update, I will post it here.
After playing around with the T95z Plus after installing the above firmware, I started noticing some bugs. First, the Play Store resets itself constantly. It seems every time it updates from the factory version to the current one, whenever you open it, it goes back to factory, asks for permissions again, and resets all settings.
I have tried to replace the system apk with an updated version. This works but only when starting it for the first time. It then fails to open, and will only open again after clearing the app data.
Does anyne know how to correctly fix a broken gapps?
Latest T95Z Plus Firmware. Android v7.1.1 For 2GB RAM/16GB S912 Chipset
Here is the latest firmware for the T95Z Plus Android tv box. Works on Sunvell, and also on Weily branded T95Z plus and probably all models with same chipset. Says android 7.1.2 but it’s actually 7.1.1. Latest firmware for this box tho. Runs great.
Google search “latest t95z plus firmware” and it’ll be the first site you see called entertainmentbox. I can’t post links here as I’m a new user.
You don’t need to use the male to male USB cable method to flash firmware. You can use Burn Card maker and update box using micro sd card. USB burn card maker can flash new firmware and also revive bricked Amlogic based android tv boxes.
search on YouTube for “t95z plus burn card maker” and there are many videos on how to use this method.
Hope this helps, it will get your box updated to Android v7.1.1 build T5ZP1013 kernel v3.14.29 android security patch level February 1, 2017 Model T95ZPLUS despite the build saying T5ZP1013. I assure you it’s the T95Z Plus firmware.
As for google play updating, then returning back to previous version and default settings every time I believe this is to keep the box running without breaking any apps or software for the current firmware. You really only need the version the firmware comes with. If you wish to update keep a lookout for future firmware releases. My box has the same issue as do others I have asked. I also like to have the latest version of everything too so this is what prompted me to check into the google play thing myself.
Happy Flashing!!! -~
T95z Plus will not flash
I have tried over 7 different roms, different usb, ect all the same result
UBOOT/Partition _aml_dtb/Verify patition/Error result can't pass 9%

I ran into this problem, since Kodi wasn't playing right. I used a script program universal init.d and supersu, and after supersu rebooted the device it hung on reboot. I have an easytone t95zplus but don't see any of their firmware posted online.

You first need to determine the precise model to get the firmware:
1) Is it a 16 or 32 GB model?
2) Is it model q200 or q201?
You can check these by booting into recovery.
Need files for recovery
Hello guys, i need some dire help.
i have a 3G 32GB variant with AP6255.
my wifi was broken hence i browsed thru and was flashing the firmwares using tooth pick method.
1st attempt. - my recovery didnt boot at all. no HDMI signal was going to the TV
2nd attempt - managed to boot to recovery and flashed the firmware. wifi was not fixed.
3rd attempt onwards i could never get into recovery.
looks like my sd card marker is missing some boot files.
appreciate someone could guide me the extact steps and files i need for recovery to work.

I am not sure of how to help you- but I will tell you this: I did not use a SD card maker. I just pasted the img file into the root of the SD card AND also included the extra files (which I believe are needed for proper boot and installing) from a different img file package I found somewhere else. So, tell me if this can make sense somehow:
Get the img file you tried to use in step 3 and put it in a SD along the extra files included in the package you used in the second attempt.
This is sort of the way I had to go to fix mine (although, for the sake of truth, my box is pretty unstable now - freeezes and hangs often). I hope an update would come out, but nothing so far.
Hi everybody, I'm just posting to let you know that I have very much upgraded my T95Z Plus 3/32 through the instructions in this thread, which includes firmware and recovery files.
Hopefully someone else can give it a try.
hello,
what / where is the last upgrade / custom rom for T95z plus 2/16gb S912 ?

My allwinner A10 tablet came pre-rooted or so I thought. I installed CWM v6.1.0.2 via the terminal emulator but wasn't able to reboot back to my OS.
I then wiped cache partition and wiped data, it would not allow me to wipe the dalvik cache.
At the end of each process I see:
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount/cache/recovery/log
Also for /last-log of the two above.
I have got an A10 cm10 rom which I have tried to install via the external sd but no luck.
Any help would be appreciated as I have no clue what I can do next.
Do you know the model or make of your device? What are all of the specs? If you have that information I can probably lead you to a support forum for your device.
I recently recovered my A10 device flashing a .img of a totally different A10 tablet and most of my tablets features work. I tried flashing 100 other .img files and none of those worked correctly.
Where did you get that CWM file? Was it CWM that was specific for A10 devices? You can't just flash any recovery to your device and expect it to work.
Your issue is likely that the CWM is not for your device or it's just having issues with your device. I'm using CWM 6.0.1.1 for Allwinner A10 ICS. I got it onto my device using a simple one click method, but in order for you to use it you have to be on a rom that at least boots up with the display working.
Once you give me information on your device I can try searching for some .img files for you to flash onto your device with Livesuit. If you're lucky enough you'll get one that is specific for your device, if your not so lucky you're going to be breaking your head trying to find a rom that at least boots up with most features working. It's a lesson learned, don't mess with your device unless you have the necessary resources as a backup in the event that something goes wrong.

To be honest it's just a long search through each tablets board to find a post that lists the specs. I'm realizing that's a big headache.
I personally just flashed random A10 images onto my device. Nothing bad seemed to happen to my device, but I'm not sure if the same is going to apply to you. If you feel like taking the chance you can just flash some images and cross your fingers hoping it doesn't do anything to your device. When I did it the worst that happened was that the roms either didn't display anything, displayed a static image, display was off center, touch controls didn't work, or got stuck at boot screen, then one finally worked.
I can try to link you to some A10 firmware images and LiveSuitPack if you want to take the chance.

It's very simple actually.
Here's the LiveSuitPack tool: http://www.topnotchtablets.com/LivesuiteInstall
Here's the guide for installing firmware: http://www.topnotchtablets.com/A10Firmware
In the guide for installing firmware substitute the menu button for volume down button if you don't have a menu button.
There are two firmwares to download on the firmware installation guide page, although I don't think either of those will work at all to begin with. Try them if you'd like. Give me a few minutes to boot into my other partition so I can get all the links of images I bookmarked.

No, once you download the Livesuitpack you're going to open the folder and run LiveSuitPack_v1.07. That'll install some drivers, or it'll ask you if you want to install some drivers, click Yes. From there you're going to run the LiveSuit application. Then you follow the steps for getting the new firmware onto your device.
EDIT: The drivers that the Livesuitpack installs onto your computer also make your device recognizable in ADB (if you know what that is and ever have a use for it). I also couldn't find drivers for my device for the longest and these seem to work at making your device recognizable across your computer.

No luck so far, I flashed one image which gave me a sort of cracked looking screen affect, other images I have tried to flash do not make it to 100%?
I am not sure if I have now completely bricked it?
I am still looking for images that closely match my pad and will try again this evening.

Your device shouldn't brick. I believe A10 devices have all necessary code in the chip itself, or something along those lines. The cracked looking screen effect means that it isn't compatible with your device, I came across plenty of roms that did that to my device, all you do if flash the next image.
I haven't come across any issues with it not getting to 100%. I can only suggest you retry it, or move on to the next image.

Iv got similar problems with my BC1077. Iv been trying to fix it for the last few days. Im not 100% sure, but I think the problem Iv quoted above is that CWM does not support jellybean, so it wont work with cm10, which is jellybean.
Over the last few days Iv flashed 40+ A10 firmwares to my tablet, but Iv only found 1 that installs properly and boots for me. It actually works pretty well, only major issue iv noticed is auto rotate doesnt work. But this same working firmware is also jellybean, after I install CWM I get bootloops and have to reflash the firmware again to boot.
Heres a link to the firmware that works for my BC1077 - http://www.ssb-repair.com/Firmwares/Cherry/M1007_20121217.zip
Its for a completly different tablet (Cherry Mobility - M007), but like I said it works on mine.
Heres another firmware it might be worth you trying to flash, its the only BC1007 specific firmware Iv found, but it wont install on my tablet, I always get a 0x162 error from it. Heres the link - http://www.pandawillforum.com/soft/mate sku20314 firmware for May 25 stock.rar
Good luck, let us know if you make any progress.
I think I might have been flashing with a very low battery, if a flash was unsuccessful halfway through would this not brick the tablet.
I am not getting any kind of response from the screen at all and when I try to flash although the drivers appear to load the % bar doesn't go up.

Thanks for that, I will try tonight and get back.
OK, regardless of the image I try to flash the livesuit progress bar gets to 3% and then goes back to 0% and then nothing.
Anyone?
If the battery was low and the flashing process didn't finish all you have to do is load up the exact image that didn't finish flashing into LiveSuit and put your tablet into download mode and let it do its thing. I had the same problem and got scared my tablet was bricked, so I just did the process I stated above and it finished. It wouldn't allow me to flash another rom, I'd get the little Livesuit pop up that you get after a rom successfully flashes, so if that's the same pop up you're getting don't be alarmed.

I dont think your tablet is bricked, if it was I doubt it would respond to Live Suite or PheonixUSB pro at all. From what Iv read about the A10 its meant to be unbrickable.
What error codes does live suite/pheonixUSB give you when they stop?
if youre getting 0x120 and 0x162 errors, just keep trying more firmwares out till you find one that will install without errors.
Theres loads of A10 Allwinner firmwares at this link - http://androidtabletfirmware.com/firmware_search/order=2/sort=1
I have a M8s Android box (Amlogic s812 Quad Core 2gb Octa Core Gpu).
I am running a 5.1 ROM (Originally came with 4.4). It runs great but it has 3 problems.
1. Remote doesn't work (I have a zip file I flash to get the main functions working but not all the buttons are mapped correctly).
2. Ethernet doesn't work, only WiFi.
3. When power button is pressed on remote the box goes to sleep and never wakes up. (I tried an apk from FreakTab called wakemescottie which solves this problem for maybe half a day, then it goes back to never waking up again unless unplugged.)
I am trying to downgrade to what should be a proper ROM for the box (5.1 ROM is listed as being for the M8s+) but when I try to it tells me it cannot install the zip package because the date is older than the ROM on the box.
Has anyone figured out a workaround that does not involve TWRP? Reason I am asking is I cannot seem to get TWRP working on my box from links provided. I am not sure if it is because my box is a cheap clone or if I need to do something before trying to run TWRP like rooting the box or something.
Any help on this would be great I have tried so many different ROM downloads I'm out of ideas.
Though if anyone is capable of helping me with the three issues that would be great as I do find the 5.1 ROM to be much more stable than the original ROM.

Hello, I have this tv box (MXQ Pro+ S905) 2GB RAM / 16GB ROM
The stock firmware is horrible, can you help me to upgrade it?
Do you have some firmware?
I tried to flash some firmware, but i think they was incompatible, i got only errors
Originally bought two identical MXpro Android TV Boxes. Since one of them freezes at startup on Android logo (won't enter launcher). My question: is there any way to copy certain files & folders directly from the other identical box to get it to boot up correctly once again? *issue is that I have no use of any computer at the moment. Either this method or any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! -Dave.D.

If you have s905X with blue board than try this one :
https://mega.nz/#!jQ8HWIoQ!ubMpueVYGPA_PtE9snE1buZXjLUeFJP-mOd6vX91wkw
what you need to do is procure the factory image. i may be wrong but there isn't a S905 with 2 gb ram and 16gb nand. the first ones were S905x (excluding capabilities of the S912). there are plenty of alternative roms available including linux based. search around and you will find your firmware. you can even contact the seller you bought it from including amazon and ebay. check chinagadgetreviews.com also. alot can be found there. theres other forums too. once you find your correct firmware, reflash it and see if that resolves your issues. if not. boot twrp on the other one and make a full backup. take this backup, and move it to an area on your sd where you can find it then restore it on the buggy box. make sure you keep a backup copy of everything that works, especially if you cannot find the original. if you look really really hard, you may even find some fully compatible generic images that some developers are kind enough to maintain. you may need to make friends with a ruski to get it tough. thats the best hint im willing to give without provoking any admins or mods (sorry guys if i broke any rules).
im going back under my rock now.
oh and another tip, not all devices are the same. even if they say the same brand. there are differences in wifi chips. you should be able to figure this out. usually theres some model or sticker on the bottom or on the box it came in

ahh, you may need to figure out "Mask Rom Mode" to force your device to be detected by burn tool, assuming you have already tried different usb port on pc, reinstalling burn tool & Also tryed adding power at same time connecting the usb cable
T95 S1
Mem 2/16
Build TS10022
Ver. 7.1.2
Wifi SSV6051P
Flash PFC-10AL
I managed to brick this one after i tried to install super su
I will not boot at all even with the sd card, the USB tool seems to see the box every time i plug it in with the usb cable. i have tried i believe ever IMG I was able to find for the 905 all fall at Uboot some before.
Any help would be nice i have been reading for almost 2 weeks on this one to the best i can comprehend
I do have 2 T95Z plus boxes 1- 2/16 and the other 3/32 both with Posion thank you Ricky
And A T9 with the RK3328 i messed up but found a firmware that finally worked on it
Thank you if you have any Ideas if not i can donate it to Ricky if he wants
Ok i went ahead and bought second T95 S1 2/16 same as the 1 above I need some help to boot TWRP on it and how to get a full back up img that i might be able to use USB Burn tool to fix the first 1 if that is possible.
I have tried to read about it
1st try was to take twrp img rename it to recovery on an sd card and press rest button and power up with th sd card in no go
2nd try was to install the twrp manager and install it from there no go
3rd try was to install a terminal app Typed SU the typed reboot recovery with twrp on sd card still no go that worked fin on my T95Z plus but not this T95 S1
Thank you for any help
OK so far i have not been able to get a TWRP that i can backup the good matching box I have tried half dozen or more
2.8.5.1_K200 sticks at the T95 logo
3.2.3.0 sticks at logo
S905W_TWRP_alpa boots but nothing in the back up section does not mount my SD card but see's a USB stick
TWRPq201_N-3.2.1.0 Split screen still does not have any thing to check under backup doesnot seem to mount anything but the usb stick
I Have tried Rickys AMLogicFlashTool Port TWRP tab
Selecte Pull recovery from device then create recovery and it goes to 40% and stays there I did not check the box Flash after porting
Im not sure if there is another way to do a complete back up in windows with this box
Thank you anyone
Update I was able to flash an img that Mergoo69 over at Atvxperience was able to get from the vendor box is back to stock
Hope this helps someone with a T95 S1 his img says 1/8 mine is a 2/16 but seems to work fine took USB burn tool abot 5 minutes to load. Hopefully someone can use this img to port this to 1 of the great roms

Hi everyone,
Updates:
2021-08-17 - Added patched Magisk boot for this device. (Conceptum Stock ROM)
I'm starting this thread to collect information and files regarding this particular version of X96 box and to explain to anyone interested what I have discovered so far..
The company who has repackaged the firmware for this box for the Greek market, CONCEPTUM, refuses to release the original firmware for this device.
So currently, I have dumped two types of firmware from a stock box in case it is needed. A standard TWRP backup, and a dd image.
At the moment, I actually am NOT having any luck restoring the firmware using the TWRP restore. Not sure why.
I was able to restore the original firmware using the dd image. So for anyone who screws up their stock firmware, you can use the dd image from the mega drive. Punchline: The stock image has terrible wifi speed as well. I have yet to try restoring the firmware via dd yet but when I do I will write if it works or not.
Here is a link to the folder where I will be updating what compatible files I can find.
4.38 GB folder on MEGA
13 files and 6 subfolders
mega.nz
This post is very incomplete and I will be adding to it shortly.

---------------------------
How to get into recovery
The button needed to access recovery is hidden. It is deep inside the stereo jack. (You can see it if you shine a flashlight into there.
My suggested tool to press this button easily is a qtip with the cotton from one end removed.
Insert the tool, and press it in until you feel the click.
Apply power to the device and as soon as you can see the logo come on, release the tool pressure.
It should enter recovery in 5 to 10 seconds.
---------------------------
CoreELEC
I was able to boot CoreELEC via sdcard, with bluetooth and wifi working with the following device tree:
sm1_s905x3_4g_1gbit.dtb
I forgot to check the speed of the wifi, but if I recall, both 2.4 & 5ghz was working with that dtb.
---------------------------
TWRP
The TWRP_AML_ViT_3.3.1_2020.zip (in the Mega folder) is a "hinged" version. Not sure if its the right term, but it can be run from the stock recovery, (Apply update from external). It does NOT install, it just runs it and lets you do stuff from there.
If anyone knows the source or an update for the Amlogic TWRP Hinged version, please post it here.
I used a previous "hinged version" TWRP_322.zip but this version did not backup properly all the partitions, ex it totally skipped the Vendor partition, which is why I have 2 of these Tvboxes as my first one the backup was bad and it was essentially bricked.
---------------------------
Amlogic USB Burning Tool
This seems to work fine, but something that is always missing from peoples instructions,
The Male to Male USB cable, on this device must be plugged into the USB 3 port.
The power cable must also be removed, and when plugging in the USB cable to the correct port, will provide power for the "fastboot" equivalent mode needed to flash from the Amlogic tool.
So the procedure to flash is (after installing the USB Flash tool)
Device is powered off.
Insert USB cable into your pc end.
Insert tool and press recovery mode button.
Plug in other end of USB cable into the tvbox.
It should power on, keep the recovery button pressed until you hear the device connect to Windows (USB being plugged in sound)
They you should be able to flash.
---------------------------
Compatible ROMS
Long story short, due to a initial TWRP backup that was missing certain important partitions, I bricked my first box.
While trying to get the box working again, I have found the following firmware to work mostly. I am not reccomending them, as I am not sure they are working optimally, but if needed these can boot the system and work in some capacity.
X96Max_Plus_Q2_20201209-1446.img
Original firmware for X96 Max Plus Q2 version
sbx_x96max_plus_q2_v12
Slimbox Version 12 for X96 Max Plus Q2
This version does not come with Google framework which I needed so I didn't work with it much.
---------------------------
Magisk
Patched boot image for this device.
9.67 MB file on MEGA
mega.nz
Download and extract this file and put it somewhere you can flash from.
Install Magisk Manager.
Boot from Hinged TWRP, goto Install, Install image, select the file and flash to Boot partition. BE CAREFUL AND DON'T FLASH TO BOOTLOADER
Magisk Should be working, try running a root app and magisk should pop up
Magisk is complicated. On all the Amlogic boxes as far as I know, Magisk will install but NOT function properly.
The geniuses at 4pda have figured out a procedure to make Magisk work properly, but it requires hex editing the boot partition and reflashing it.
I have done the procedure successfully when I was using the X96Max_Plus_Q2_20201209-1446.img firmware. It does work.
I will upload this to the mega folder when I have time.
When I manage to hex edit the stock boot image, I will also upload it. Its an involved process and takes some time.
Reserved for future shenanigans.
my device has the same mainboard as you mentioned above ,but mine is 4/64 , my device bricked after burning non related image and after i plug in the power , for first 5 minutes nothing happens and then in vfd it shows boot and then clock and on tv screen only boot logo appears after 5 min but non consistent if you change tv source and back again it shows no hdmi connection and nothing more happens.
i tried out all p3 version of x96 air images but useless because they have different main board i wanted to try your dd imade backup (twrp is impossible bacause of no recovery) and burn it with amlogic usb tool but extraction of image ended with error with more than 15 gigabytes .
i appreciate anyone who can help me to unbrick my device , i am hopeless because this device has no support mine is named,x96 air 4/64

Regular Air firmware's do not work.
P1-P3 don't work for sure, P4 I don't know but I think not.
I haven't found a photo yet of the P4 hardware.
Try USB Flashtool 4/64 image for X96Max_Plus_Q2 to get your recovery back if such a firmware exists, otherwise try the 4/32. X96 Max Plus Q2 firmware (X96Max_Plus_Q2_20201209-1446.img)
You should be able to get recovery back via flashing one of those images.
X96 Max Plus Q2 firmware is compatible, but if you use the 4/32 image you will only see the half of your storage.
Restoring your TWRP full backup again once you get the max firmware (for twrp) installed will not work unfortunately. Already went through this.

You have a Conceptum box or just the same motherboard?
If you have a Conceptum, you are pretty much ****ed. They wont release the original firmware. You will have to buy a second box and get the image via dd.
I had to buy a second box and get the disk image via dd, and then restore the dd image using dd from within TWRP, overwriting the entire storage with the image. This was using the terminal built into TWRP.
In general, restoring from TWRP doesn't work well on these boxes, especially going from rom to rom as the partition layouts are different and TWRP doesn't handle it correct.
Conversion of the dd image to usb flashable is tricky and I haven't done it.
The person that MAY be able to do such a thing is Ricky ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...w-milestone-donate-version-available.3786991/ ) but I dont know and I don't think there is any point as my dd image has partition layout for 32 gb version, you will lose half your storage unless he can also expand the partition.
Even if you manage to get TWRP back, there will probably be a partition layout difference from the firmware you use to get TWRP on the box, and the TWRP image backup you did. It probably will not work.
You need to get your original firmware, or a dd image of the same box.
You can also use the Slimbox for x96max_plus_q2. I did NOT like Slimbox 12 because it was missing google play and a lot of other things. But it will restore recovery.

Hi.
To get Magisk working, its a bit of a difficult process.
Essentially, Amlogic released / built their kernels with a kernel boot option "skip_initramfs" which magisk needs "want_initramfs" for this to work.
The process is complicated as you must hex edit your boot.img after you have patched it with the Magisk Manager patching method called "Recovery Mode"
4pda where this was discovered - https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?showtopic=774072&st=25020#entry91068157
Video from 4PDA that shows the hex editing process - https://mega.nz/file/pJ1RTChR#b5rLNs-4GF2qlZXKzbL0P5lmAeLLYObJ_w3_Yf8h16U
You can also get the video from the above thread but if I recall you must register to download and unless you know russian its difficult to register there.
A guide I wrote that you can follow along with the video to understand the process - https://rentry.co/wgu9u
Every detail matters, I studied the video for many hours to understand the process, good luck.
My thread about this process here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ide-to-accompany-video.4320923/#post-85493037
Thanks!!!! Dam looking not that easy .
The Boot img from x96 Air you edited, is it Stock?
Sorry i dont check my mesages here very often.
I don't know which boot image you are talking about, it would be very helpful for you to link me which one specifically I need to answer the question for..
If you are talking about the image for my Air Extreme, it is stock and patched by magisk, and then hex edited for magisk. But I dont know its compatibility for any of the other Air versions.
