Hello,
I have a Qbox Amlogic S905 bought at least 2 years ago. Unfortunately the main apps I really need are not available (Netflix and Prime Video). So I'm looking for a way to change firmware because out of box firm is Android 5.1.
I don't know if there are some limitantions for streaming with those 2 apps.
I'm sorry in advance if someone already opened a similar issue.
Thanks,
Fabio

So far, how many tv box with Amlogic S912 can you find? which are you think of the best tv box with s912?
Hi,
I'd like to test the new S912 chip. I'm struggeling between Nexbox A1, T95Z Plus and R-Box Pro. It seems that the R-Box Pro is currently the only box, where you can choose between 2 GB and 3 GB Ram. So that's my favorite so far... I'm not sure, if you really have an advantage of the 1GB additional memory, but for only 8-10 USD/EUR more I would take the version with higher memory.
Regards,
Jim

hi, i have the same idea with you, are these boxes have miracast function? thanks...
Received this today, nothing on screen when plugged in, with multiple cables, on all inputs into working outlets. Remote doesn't do anything. What am I doing wrong?
I'm looking to get an Android TV device and I am overwhelmed with options. I want something that is fully unlockable with an active development community. What originally got me interested was the Amazon Fire TV but after reading up it seems the new units are no longer rootable/unlockable. That lead me down the path to other devices. I think I've settled on the AMLogic based devices (if there are other suggestion I'm open). It looks like there are basically 3.
S905 - Older chip and stuck with Android 5 roms
S905x - Newer with 4k but performance is not as good at the S905. More dev/roms available
S912 - 8 core. Has DVB S2/T2 support (not sure what that does for me though) Does not seem to be a lot of dev for this. Only one thread I saw.
Based on these assumptions I'm leaning toward a X96 - S905x 2GB/16GB model for $42.99.
Also. Do the non Amazon devices support Amazon video? My current chromecast's do not and that is one reason for the upgrade.
I am in a similat boot here
Decided on the X96 because I found the page for the firmware updates before I found a link to buy the box LOL
Apart from the missing BT a great box considering the usual limitations.
Amazon video only works on Amazon devices AFAIK but I don't use it.
Same story for Android TV, great hype about it but I think it is just a crippled launcher with really limited content showing up - mainly Youtube and Google but nothing else.
The S912 seems to be the affordable alternative if you need BT and a bit more computing power for games but S905D boxes are slowly turning up.
Same for devices running on Android7 and offering up to 3GB/32GB.
But Android7 for TV boxes is in an early beta to say it nice with a lot of bugs and half cooked menu structures - better to wait a bit longer if you ask me.
And since the hardware for these boxes is literally identical within the families it comes down to personal preference and what can be modded or not.
Personally I am starting to think that despite the huge price tag the Shield is still the best option in terms of quality, hardware and support.
DVB is for terrestial and satellite TV.
Thanks. I did not realize there was no BT on the S905x boxes. My only concern there is I was planning to use a wireless BT keyboard with it.
Almost all wireless keyboards that come with a dongle will work, for example the Logitech and MS ones, same for the dirt cheap and tiny touchpad keyboards you get on Ebay.
BT is only a problem if you need it for game controllers, weather stations or to pair some speakers to it.
I see. I went ahead and ordered a X96 that included a mini keyboard last night. I figure for $47.98, including shipping, what the heck right? I'll have a cheap new toy to play with.
Once you played enough you will start playing even more when you try different custom roms

I want to 'root' this device. I've tried Kingroot, OneClick Root and those don't do it.
Here are the peticulars on this box:
M9S-PRO 2GB+16GB Android 6.0 S905X Quad Core 64bit HD Smart TV Box WiFi 4K Media
Android Box was bought from Antiquechina2009 on eBay, technical support from that company is nill. Parent company is TOPTOM. TOPTOM as a BBB rating of "F". I 'googled' their company (located in California) and phone number. I called twice last week and left my name and number. I have not received a call-back.
Has anyone been successful in 'rooting' this Android TV Box?
Any help is sincerely appreciated.
Please share.
Thanks

good morning everyone, I have this android box:
H96 Plus TV Box Amlogic S905 Quad Core 64Bit Android 5.1 2GB 16GB 2.4GHz / 5GHz WiFi Bluetooth 4.0

I've formatted it many times but it's still the same
I searched for the firmware of this box but I can not find it anywhere...If someone can help me with the firmware or a similar one that serves this box, I would be very grateful.

Hey guys. I bought a few months ago TV Box MXQ Pro 4K - 2GB Ram - 8GB and it is the worst thing I ever bought. It crashes almost on every single command I give it from resolution changing to watch more than 1 hour of Netflix. I tried to give it back to the seller with a bad review but the seller didn’t accept the return, as always.
It’s a china device in the real sense of the word, and I need help to find and install a better ROM if possible or solutions for this device. Can somebody guide me?
More information about the device after open it : “RK3229_MXQ_8D_20170617_V1.2” , “TPL-MXQ-4K-2+8”
I don’t want to throw it to garbage but if it is in his destiny , so it shall be.
A stock android ROM, maybe not for ANDROID TV boxes, I use keyboard so it wont be a problem for me.
Thank you for your time
