Beelink M18 Box TV Android 5.1 - Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers

Dear forum/friends
I have the subject Android TV box and I was very pleased since yesterday.
I installed a Netflix APK , and though it start working flawlessly, after I turn the box off, the signal could not be detected .
I tried various TV's, and different HDMI cables but nothing.
It seems that it starts properly but can not be recognized from the tv.
I tried also to connect it through a PC but nothing again.
I am not sure that is related to The APK installation but it started behave like this right after I tried this program.
I suspect that the resolution has changed and this is the reason for the disfunction.
Is there any way to set it to the factory settings.
Your assistance is highly appreciated
Thanks in advance.

I still have not found a solution , neither a helpful advice has arrived.
Does anyone know if there's a way to manually reset/reboot the device? Let's say through hidden features in the remote control or any button from the device itself.
Any idea is more than welcome.
Thanks again

[Q] Android on XDA Orbit 2

Hello Everyone. I've got a simple question. From a couple of days I'm a "proud" owner of XDA Orbit II. But Windows Mobile was not good for me so I decided to install a Android from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=678102. It's works fine until I install apps from android market. To be fair everything is installing perfectly and the applications work really well, but when I'll restart the phone or just switch it on again, Android just won't work. Luncher starts reading files but it stops on : Failed to find system.img on SD card and the next line says : /bin/can't access ttyl job control turned off. And it;s just hangs there and I must reset the phone. And no matter how many times I'll try to start it again after installing apps this compilation just won't work. How can I use a Android on this phone without any problems and errors ? Maybe You guys and Girls will have a better Android for this phone or some solutions that improves this compilations ? O, by the way, is there any version of android for this phone which supports USB connection(in this one after connecting USB nothing happens, the battery is only charging), camera and blutooth ? I'll really appreciate Your answers and any help You can provided to me. This phone, maybe it's old, but means relay much to me and I'll try my best to make it work perfectly.
Best wishes, Verixin

[Q] Several Problems: USB mode and App troubles

1. I have been unable to connect it to my PC for a while, I tried downloading and installing the Samsung USB drivers, and connecting with the white USB cable it came with but it always says Device Failed to install properly, and my Device Manager says Unknown Device. I've resorted to using AirDroid to download my pictures and videos which takes a little while and is annoying.
2. Tumblr app: my login does not work, after I type my password and hit login, it says logging in... and it tries and tries and says login failed. I tried setting up a new account using the app but that did not work either. I tried using a non official tumblr app to see if it would work and same problem happened.
3. Goggles App: Does anyone know how to use this?
4. Youtube App: Just about every other time I watch a video using this app, it somehow loses its connection to youtube and a button appears to Retry, and I hit that several times and nothing comes up. I end up closing the app and re loading it, and it works for one or two videos and then the same thing happens. Super frustrating. I am able to use other youtube apps without a problem like Zing Youtube but I am unable to login and see my subscribed favorites.
5. Twitch App: It lost the feature to search, so I found a non official app called Twitch Player that works great except that some streams cause my phone screen to turn off and I have to take out my battery and turn it back on in order to get the phone working again. Quite annoying.
My friend said he just rooted his S4 and said it was easy, and I was thinking about doing it too but I am hesitant since I have never done that before, and this is my first smart phone which I love dearly. Any advice? I want to do it so I can use the app ShareKM which allows you to use your PC mouse and keyboard on your android.
Thanks!

1. USB to PC problem
A: Delete all drivers for the phone from your PC.
B: make sure your phone isnt plugged into the PC and make sure USB Debugging Mode is off
C: replug your phone to your PC and allow the MTP drivers to install, then switch to camera mode (PTP) and let those install then you can go back to USB debugging mode
2. Tumblr app problem
A: make sure you have the correct login info by trying to log in through the PC's browser. If not, just press "I forgot my login info" or whatever and have the password reset email sent to you.
B: make sure app is updated. if it is and youre certain you typed the info properly then the app is buggy.
C: firmly swing a hammer on your phone.
3. google goggles
Its works when you take pictures of logo's or landmarks and google tries to use its knowledge graph to identify it and give you info on it. as you can imagine this is a tough program to get to work well. As such it doesnt.
4.
If youre using a custom stock android rom like cyanogen or AOKP or paranoid or any variation of the three you probably flashed a bad google apps file. If youre not using one of those, make sure youtube is updated from the play store and it very well could be a connection problem with your router.

The questioms have already been answered but something caught my attention, you want to use your keyboard and mouse on your phone. You can already do that, the Note 2 has USB OTG active so you can use just about anything on it, except XBOX controllers, like PS3 controllers, jump drives, external hard drives (they have to be formatted a certain way but they are able to be used), mice, keyboards, etc.
You should still root your phone because it opens an entirely new world for you.

Wow! I ordered one of those little cables that lets you plug in USB things but never thought to simply try using a USB keyboard or mouse with it! I am typing this on my USB keyboard and it works like a charm I also tried using a USB mouse and it works great, the wheel even works for scrolling up and down. I will try my wireless keyboard and mouse combo later to see if it will work but I am doubting it will work if it needs drivers (It is not the bluetooth kind). I wonder if this thing can handle USB splitters....
Thanks!!! Love the Note2

Yes it works great with USB splitters, at least the few I've tried and a few other members have tried. And it very well may work with the wireless keyboard, I have one from somewhere around '00 and it works perfectly, you never know until you try!

I was able to get the PC USB connection working thanks to eboodnero's advice, but the real issue was that I was trying to connect the USB plug into a splitter USB plug instead of directly into the computer A poor mistake, learned the hard way.
Also, I tried logging into the Tumblr app after changing my password to an easy one without special characters, and that seemed to make it work ^shrug^

Yeah, you always have to plug straight into the computer with this phone it seems, especially for things like Casual or Odin.

[Q] Unbrick Android TV Smart Player (no hidden button)

Hello everyone,
I could not find an answer to unbrick my android smart tv player, so I wanted to ask you guys in this forum for help.
The player does not boot I believe since ther is no picture on the screen and it does not show any reaction on inputs from the remote (usually the LED on the front blinks at input). Only the power button on the remote works and turns the device on and off. Thats it
I found several solution to unbrick Android Players which have a hidden button behind the AV jack, but those are different models that have different ports. I also tried holding down Vol- Home and Power on the remote to get into recovery, but it doesn't work. I attached pictures of my device.
Is there a way to boot into recovery using USB or SD Card. The dievice has 2 USBs and a SD Card slot.
Or any other way to unbrick or factory reset it.
Thanks so much!
Does anyone have experience with this device
Hi,
Does anyone have experience with this kind of device.
I'm still searching the web for any infos of this device.
Did someone alredy experiment with this box? I also tryed to find different firmware as well.
Its form some Chinese manufacturer. They sent me a new firmware but it didnt work unfortunately.
I thought there would be a way similar to cell phones, to just put a new custom ROM on the device?
Please help!
Thanks!
Now I got some idea what kind of device it is, and some others have troubles too.
I found this thread with the unsolved problem:

Perhaps someone can help.

Homesync Root
Hi I tried following the instructions in this forum for rooting my homesync with saferoot and I have not succeeded. I tried MJ3 and MH8 software to no avail. The script gets stuck in "trying to disable knox". Any help is appreciated.
Anybody know if there's a workaround to enable Bluetooth audio on the Homesync?
Forgotten Screen Lock Password - want to reset the HomeSync
I've forgotten the password to the lockscreen on my HomeSync and there's no way to recover it. I don't really care about the data on the device, but I'd like to start over with it by resetting.
I've tried using Odin and downloading various firmware... The user data hasn't been erased to include movies, files, and the password as well. It just boots to the lockscreen but I can still access files via the Homesync app.
I've tried using Android Device Manager to remotely wipe it and it's not setup. I've tried entering the wrong password multiple times to get to a "lost password" via my gmail but that doesn't work either. It simply makes me wait 30 seconds after each set of 5 failed attempts. It never asks for my Google Account info.
My next step is adb, but I don't recall enable USB debugging. I've downloaded JDK and SDK, opened a command line and ran "adb devices"... it starts a server but no devices are listed when my HomeSync is connected via USB. My drivers are loaded and I also have Kies installed on my PC that has no problem seeing the HomeSync and tells me to unlock it before continuing with Kies.
I've been after this for about 2 weeks, reading this forum and trying to find a way to fix it, but now I'm at the point that I need to ask questions and get some help.
XBOX 360 PC controller working with Samsung Homesync! Need Help With Bluetooth PS3 C
First off I would like to give big thanks to everyone here on the boards, secondly I’m proud to announce I have successfully rooted my GT-B9150 Samsung Homesync (MH8 firm).
I have a XBOX 360 PC controller (Wireless USB Dongle) working!
(I still have not tested with MAME4droid, still downing “MAME 0.139 ROMs-Flood” @ alt.binaries.emulators.mame)
Microsoft Bluetooth Sculpt Comfort Mouse working!
Microsoft Bluetooth Wedge Mobile Keyboard working!
I would like to know if anyone has a method of adding a Bluetooth Garmin Android GPS to the Homesync? I would also like to add a Bluetooth MIC if possible for Google Maps and I would like to use a PS3 Bluetooth controller if possible.
My reasoning behind this, I am installing the Homesync via HDMI to 10” touch screen head unit in my work truck for mobile computing, Neutron HD-Flac music spinning and GPS Mapping.
My Homesync has 120 volt AC to 12 volt DC transformer. I am thinking of wiring Homesync directly to dash accessory 12DC feed but am currently using a line convertor for now.
Thanks for any input!
Do you have more details? I want similar scenario. I have investigated about 6 months ago and do not believe a touch screen will work due to low level and maybe drivers. There are some GPS USB dingle that are said to work about 100USDollar. I already have Xenarc touchscreen installed in vehicle as well as the GPS USB above. Just waiting for some drivers etc. I resolved to be able to use a mini keyboard pointer that natively works with Bt on HomeSync unmodified. I have mini microphone that I believe will work ok ... don't know about car road noise though.
Please, how did you achieve the root and what do you use for GUI/launcher, the TouchWiz ... nah
---------- Post added at 08:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 AM ----------
P.S. The reason I think about using as mobile device is that this HomeSync ducks to use with Sam HomeSync app. Never got it to work even with support. Gave up for that purpose.
My head unit in my truck has touch screen but no support for HDMI input and touch, so for now I am stuck using Bluetooth keyboard/mouse and the Samsung screen mirroring app(s). I was able to sync my Samsung Note 3, but I think after I rooted I lost that function.
I just ordered a GlobalSat Bu-353-S4 USB GPS that has been tested using other android devices and is said to be working. Here is the link I used to download apps and found USB GPS dongle recommendations. http://usglobalsat.com/forum/index.php?topic=4361.0
I will surely ck tomorrow to let you know if I get it working with Samsung Homesync and Google Maps.
As for rooting the Homsync, I just followed the instructions found on this board. I had the latest firmware installed out of the box…here is a link to instructions I followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2497102&page=7
I also followed same instructions on how to enable play store, works flawlessly and I can reboot without loosing ability to continue using Play Store Rooted
I’ve installed Nova Launcher to customize look and home screen feel, I currently have the Samsung GUI hidden and my Homesync looks and feels a lot like my Note 3 now!!!
Wow! Thank you so much!
GlobalSat Bu-353-S4 USB GPS Working With Homesync & Google Maps!!!
​
Here is a follow up my my Samsung Homesync and GPS with Google Maps. I purchased a GlobalSat Bu-353-S4 USB GPS for $50 with overnight shipping included on Amazon
After tinkering and making a few changes I am especially happy to report that I am able to use the BU-353-S4 with Google Maps! I had to enable Mock USB Host under Settings/Developer Options/Allow Mock Locations on the Samsung Homesync. Under PL2303-GPS Mock Location Provider Setup I have Navilock (on) & Baudrate 4800 (checked)…working great!
My truck home screen on samsung homesync
A big thanks to everyone on the board's!
I have this USB purchased and installed in dashboard, planning to purchase and use another dongle, but now will use the HomeSync.
I have another update to my configuration…I had a problem with my power inverter not powering up the Homesync so I now have the Homesync wired directly to my dash key accessory. This way I will never forget to manually turn off the Homesync and will not drain my battery.
I made sure to test the power supply brick that came with the Homesync; it shows 12.5 volts DC on my multimeter!!!
I also ran into a small issue with Google Maps that I had not anticipated. You need to have internet connectivity to search and rout with Google Maps. Yesterday I was searching for an address and had to stop at McDonalds for free Wi-Fi. Once I mapped out my destination I was able to GPS the entire rout with turns with no Wi-Fi connected.
I have downloaded Sygic Navigation for Android Offline. I am able to use my USB GPS with this app and its uses familiar Tom Tom maps but I am still learning the interface so im not sure if I will keep using it. It’s defiantly not as simple and effective as Google maps but seems solid for use in a pinch with no internet connection.
One more issue I have with the Homesync installed in my truck is that the unit gets very hot if you don’t allow for some type of cooling. I had the very small homesync sitting in my center arm rest console running for a couple hours and found it to be super duper hot in 60 degree weather. Temps rise to mid 90’s during the summer time here in Detroit Mi, so I need to rethink my mounting location and possibly add some additional cooling.
Good points
Stuck on bootloop after odin
Hi,
I have a samsung homesync (gt-b9150) and I try upgrade firmware to MJ3. After I upgrade with odin, the device start a bootloop. Is there a fix for this?
Thanks
Could someone please help me transfer a new SSD 1T drive to my Homesync successfully?
Thanks to this forum I am pleased to announce I have successfully rooted my Homesync!
I recently opened the case and have removed the internal 1T hard drive. I made an attempt to clone the drive using Clonzzilla with no luck (tried disc to disc and disc to image). I formatted a new Crucial SSD 1T to ext4 and installed into Homesync with no luck (Homesync boots up fine, but shows no external storage)
Thank you for this info. I must admit I am confused by your post. You say 'no luck', but you say 'successful' ? Thanks
Hi there I am new to rooting though would like to minimise the chances of bricking my homesync. I've tried to follow the instructions on how to root my device to no avail as the first link to the firmware is showing a page not found. Are the instructions still applicable? Will other methods work such as towel root? Thank you.

Review - Leelbox Q2 TV Box android 6.0/2G/8G/64Bits/Amlogic S905X

I noticed there weren't many posts on Leelboxes on XDA so I'll provide some quick input for anyone who may search for a review or want to ask questions.
Recently I bought a Q2 on Amazon and finally set it up last night.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N63M03X/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Opening the box/contents
-The box had some wear on it but overall in decent shape
+Comes with power cable, hdmi, remote (no batteries)
-The box had a fairly strong plastic/soldering smell and ins't very appealing visually
Setup
- Plugging in the power starts up the device so I had everything (HDMI, mouse/keyboard) already plugged in/No physical power button
++ Quick boot up and short animation screen
-/+ Decent launcher screen probably depends on preference
-/+ Needed to adjust the screen area down to 90% as it was displaying outside of my viewing area
- Remote sluggish
+ Wireless USB keyboard and mouse are plug and play
- Still haven't figured out how to turn off the on-screen keyboard as the settings menu is device specific
- Playstore and adding Google account FC'd the first time I opened it
Customizing
+++++ Installed SuperSu from Playstore and went through the "normal" non-recovery install process successfully!
+ Installed Leanback Launcher/Google TV v1.14 (newer versions FC) APK from APK mirror and home launcher switcher
++ Kodi and addons preinstalled and setup
-Google Now launcher has icon text issues (words are cut off)
+Installed hidden settings
Performance
+ 5ghz wifi running well
- Some UI lag/stuttering
- App install a little slower than hoped
- Device comes with a memory cleaner button on the provided launcher. Once mem usage hits 80%, stuttering gets annoying. Installed memory cleaner and still evaluating.
+ Video very smooth in Kodi and Youtube
More to come but hope this helps.

Still running well. Mainly use it for Kodi and YT. I found an older version of Nexus Player launcher that works (except suggestions) and looks better than stock.
One complaint I do have, I couldn't get any emulators to recognize USB gamepads. If you want to do any of that, I'd stay away.
I haven't tried Miracast at all but I will if you're still interested. Let me know.
Hey there... I have a question for you. How's the video playback on your box?? I really this box, especially since it has Bluetooth and there is hardly any lag, however, I have had bad luck with it from the get-go. My video playback is horrible! The screen flickers and goes really dark when the scene is shot at night or it's indoors. Sometimes my tv goes black and if it weren't for the captioning, you'd think it's just off. Then the image perks up when the scene is outside or a really bright shot. It really does a number on my eyes as it's a constant thing. I did reach out to their customer service and they have been responsive and sent over instructions to try and fix this, but that hasn't worked. I even got the box replaced, but the issue persists. I'm thinking maybe it's a setting at this point. Would you happen to know if there is a fix to this or is there anything you would suggest? Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Kodi seems a bit darker so I have an display setting on my TV that I toggle to vibrant and its much better. HBO Go feels the same. Other than those though, Youtube and Netflix are fine.
Any chance your HDMI cable is bad?

I haven't tried flashing a new rom for this device yet so I may not be the best to help you. But from what I've read, the USB burning tool is your best bet. From experience, it may be a good idea to try flashing with another computer. Also, re-download the imgs.

Hello! Sorry for the late reply, but I have changed HDMI cables twice and changed ports on the TV. Also, I have used an older TV I have with this box and it just doesn't work. The video just bounces from light to dark when on Netflix or streaming any other type of video including YouTube. I have attempted to play with any settings on the box but nothing changes. Kinda bummed, oh well right?

Hi,
In product description it said this is dual wifi enabled (2.4 and 5Ghz) box. So I installed internet wifi router with 2.4 and 5GHz possibility, and Q2 Pro box pick up just 2.4Ghz signal.
Then I turned off manually 2.4GHz possibility in router and Q2 Pro box didn't see any wifi network, while my LCD and PS4 was connected on 5GHz without problem.
So, my question is, how to enable receiving 5Ghz wifi signal on Q2 Pro box?
Thank you
I've been having some trouble rooting the Q2 Mini Leelbox, wondering is that a different model than the Q2? i am also having an issue changing the default home launcher on my box, it seems like the Zonglauncher that is installed on it wants to be the only proprietary launcher option an because i cant gain root, I can't run effin system app deletion.
I figured kingroot would do it, but it has not been of any help so far. Shoot I've googled Root Leelbox Q2 mini and pretty much theres nothing out there. must not be a very popular box. now that i noticed it is rockchip, i'm a little disappointed with it, might even return it, but it does have 2G/8G for only 43 Dollars on amazon.
did anyone install recovery twrp and Magisk?

It must be a different version. If I recall correctly, I didn't have to install anything to get root. I just ran a root checker and confirmed I was good to go.
I also was able to install any launcher I wanted. But in the end, their launcher was good enough for the apps I use (Kodi, Netflix, HBO Go, Youtube).

No. I don't think there is a TWRP version for this device.
I ended up shipping it back for a refund. Really was quite a pos if I ever did see one. Made me pretty angry tbh, it was a rockchip anyways I mean it did have 2g/8g but certainly performed worse than some 1g/8gs ice bought in the past.
i have the mini
*works fine ..no lag or stuttering
*only problem is weak wifi with no 5ghz support
#im looking for info regarding using a d'link wifi dongle with it to boost wifi
to everyone this box is prerooted
install any app and if it requests root it will be given root automatically without even a toast message
you can enter recovery and factory reset or flash updates or even flash update zips by inserting a needle / pin / toothpick into the headphone jack amd pushing down at which point you will feel the button click...keep the button in then pull out the power cord and put it back in and it will boot to recovery ...you can rename supersu as update.zip amd flash it from sd card to replace root or get root management apk installed ..you can also install supersu apk directly from playstore
you can enable developer settings by usual means by pressing on version number in settings/about
i am looking into solving wifi problem first ...then i will try to flash custom images
my first workaround is to boot Ubuntu from sd card and install opemelec or omc or similar
*reason is amazon prime video fails playback in both apk or browser
*netflix is working fine through apk
*kodi is running smoothly
by installing linux through sd card i will try to get better wifi by wifi dongle and then by getting playback working for amazon video ..if i succeed i will create a thread and a post a link and proceed from there ..i think we might be able to port or flash some other custom firmware too ...i will try it after Ubuntu....
