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!

Thank you very much for your time and answer
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.

G02REF
I beleive on page 72 of MX-Linuxs thread it stated that gotham-beta2 was a working broadcom version on a droidstick a2
now yes i can get rc1 to work no problem but with no connection it was useless last year.
Excited reading about Vitaly_S work i flashed an old A2 stick laying around with BETA 2 (didnt work) and the next comment as an updated build MX_LINUX-G02REFDONGLE_170514.....
I apprecite everyone and anyones work over the past year roughly as i was watching this thread from the beginning
IE.. croniccorey and vitaly_S
just wanted to share that after upgrading screen goes black then after restarting stick its a greenish yellow.

Thanks guys, any ideas otherwise please let me know.

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.

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
Hi I purchased a generic MX2 G18REF,
Which firmware should I install Matricon 1.1.5 or 1.1.6 before installing Linux MX?
Thanks
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 an android box that was bought a couple of years ago, probably sometime in 2015. Similar to the picture attached: <sorry, apparently I can't post any links until I have 10 posts on this forum>
The new kodi doesn't work on it anymore, and I can't figure out how to update the firmware from 4.4.2 to 5.1. Did some search on the internet, but some people say it works, some say it doesn't, and the consensus seems to be that no one knows which file works with which m8s+ box.
So I'm considering buying a new box. Want a decent box that's easy to update unlike the one I'm holding. But before that, I thought I'd ask for some help here, if someone can help me through the process (I'm not exactly a techy).
Thanks a lot. And apologies if this is not posted in the write forum.
PS. Here's my Box's system info: <sorry, apparently I can't post any links until I have 10 posts on this forum>

No it's not, but i stopped using the box, now im on H96+ that work better 4 me,
i have flashed the 2/16 Rom once on the bigger sister, the box showed after that only the 2/16gb rom/ram... and worked,
Me work
i just bricked mine using that image; it showed "upgrading" for a about 5 seconds and then puf switched off, now no blue light, only the red (power) one :-(
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 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.

I tried that firmware in my box and it freezes on logo!!!
any news for this device? I have tried many custom OS but none work due to missing drivers.

What did you actually wrote into the message? I'm in touch with them since a few days but I cannot go over than "we can replace the unit"!

There are firmwares from bqueel
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,.
Hello all,
So i had tried every firmware out there for 2/16gb X96 max plus. Turns out this box is a totally different model the Q1 Android 9 System_as_root, no ramdisk.
The WiFi/ethernet and Kernel are different from the rest
So far I've had slimbox(with magisk) I don't know how @SlimHouse managed to root it.
All the X96max plus versions of twrp work on him including the X96max official twrp.
The stock is really smooth and actually OK. So I would like to root and maintain it...
What I cannot do is get this new box revision of "Q1" rooted.
So far I have tried :
1. Twrp flashing magisk 21.4.zip with Dm Verity..zip.
2. Cat /dev/block/boot > /sdcard/boot. Img and tried patching the boot partition with magisk.
3. Tried extracting the boot.img using Amlogic tools (and got lost)
Does anyone know how I can install magisk on this, it seems strange I can flash the zips and install twrp to recovery but I can't obtain root.
Thanks in advance, as always....appreciated.
Regards
did you make any progress with this since asking ?
I've gotten myself a X96Max Plus2 that comes rooted without a superuser app or even a root switch. I don't want a box that's slapped together by manufacturers that barely give a f*#k offering root access to whomever asks. I want magisk on this thing!
getting definitive info is turning out to be harder than I thought, I discovered that settings names it differently to it's packaging. all material on the box says S905X3, but AIDA64, Dev Check and other apps only mention a codename Franklin. searching that brought me to a spec page saying it was S905X2.
how many boxes are called a variation of t95, how many of x96 ? kinda annoyed right now.

Yes you can use slimbox .. That'll do it.
Please note you will have to use USB twrp from the update option to flash a magisk patched.img to the mmcblk0 boot partition yourself..after you've flashed slimbox firmware. (sounds worse than it is)
It's a bit pernickety but you'll grasp it... And works well.
Goto the slimbox rom thread s905x3.
Off the top of my head (it was two boxes ago)
Here :
X96Max Plus
CPU: Amlogic S905X3 GPU: G31™ MP2
slimboxtv.ru
And here :
Post in thread 'project SLIMBOX' https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/project-slimbox.4152049/post-83528517
Should have everything you need.
I actually done well with that little box.. Before upgrading to ugoos
