Hello,
My friend has a Formuler model: IPTV and some of the newer apps are not loading. Can anyone suggest a ROM compatible with this android box, so that I try to install it for him?
And if available, should I install it via the USB burning tool?
Also, can I install like an image (as a backup) in case the new ROM fails to install?
Many thanks
By the way, I had installed the ATV Experience ROM on my Mecool Android box. Would that be compatible maybe?

can i download rom and Flash of
m8s+ firmware for m8s
kindly suggest me
Sent from my XT1068 using XDA Forums
apparently you can, however you will have problems with your wifi (IIRC) - from what i've gathered so far these things can be temperamental and if you've got a clone unit you may run into trouble
I have one of the M8S S812 OTT boxes and want to replace Android with Openelec. I have found a few .zip file ports of Openelec but I am stuck at the first hurdle. My particular box is crippled by intent as it doesn't have ADB developer settings in its Android settings menu and additionally it doesn't seem to have an Android recovery Partition. I was hoping there might be a simple Android based tool to install a version of TWRP (which I have found two compatible versions). The surprising thing is it is ROOTED by default.
I confirmed this state of affairs by installing some boot to recovery apps which simply reboot the box. Is there a way to do this via SSH which I can probably get setup.
My motivation is two fold, the box is to be used purely as a TV client and MPG2 decoding is marginal so removing the CPU overheads of Android can only help.
Any help would be appreciated.
I have succesfully upgraded firmware using SDcard from here:
https://www.entertainmentbox.com/latest-m8s-firmware-download/
It comes included with their own version of Kodi(EBMC) 16.1
M8S runs better than original rom and works flawless. (update OTA works again)

I grabbed that but didn't install it successfully. Its an OTA update which don't work with TWRP. I might have to work out how to restore the Android recovery partition so that I can try this with OTA firmware.
Cheers for the heads up, now how to get the recovery partition back without flashing a whole new firmware img file.

Snabbletax, can you tell me which version of Android this ROM contains. Its only going to be worth updating if it is Lollipop.
Edit: I attempted to get this working on my box but it failed the signature test. I am going to have to reload TWRP and recover my last backup since it did pick up another ROM which took me way back to square one.
I suspect that the only upgrade path for me is to find a full ROM img file to burn - but there are none of those about.

Hello, I recently bought a GT1. I would have liked to switch to Android TV but none of the available roms is compatible with my box, each time it's a brick, forced to flash the basic rom. Looking better, I did not find a compatible ROM with my serial number starting with LPN1. Do you have a track to flash something that works or there is nothing available?
best regards

I just flashed https://www.atvxperience.com/download/s912-v2ff-ddr-lpddr-ram-18-oct-2018/ successfully on mine.. Used the s912_LPDDR_atvXperience_v2FF.img file.. So far so good.. Flashed using USB to USB, and USB burning tool 2.1.6.. Android TV 7.1.2.. LPN1 32g/3g ddr4.. Only one I've found so far but was worried about hard brick so waiting till someone else confirmed it
Edit: Well, not sure now.. Seems every app that I've downloaded (Kodi, Chrome, VLC, the usual) minus showbox works fine but a lot of the apps that were originally on there (atvx apps) just crash out.. May have been a bad flash or I'm missing something simple. Will try reflashing later but it definitely doesn't brick it..
Hi, this version is compatible with the serial number LPN1? By reflashing all your applications work

It doesn't matter what the serial number is. All that matters is the architecture of the components of the ROM you're installing match up with the architecture of the box you have. In your case, any of the ROMs supporting the Amlogic s912 Octocore chipset should work on a Beehive GT1 Ultimate.
It sounds like a mistake you're making in the flashing process that is bricking your device, not the fault of the actual ROM.
Anyone know where to get Android 9.0 firmware for gt1_313M0 ? Is Android 6.0.1 really the final version of Android for this?!?!
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.

Yes... it should have android v9 but it's a v8.1... I found the error when the Amazon return window was already closed...

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,.
Hi, i have a android tv box X96-w+ (S905w) and need stock rom for it.
I found that there are 2 model the X96-W ( no Bluetooth ) and X96-w+ ( with Bluetooth ).
I found 2614189 X96 TV box ROM firmware pack.img this rom but its for the X96-w ( no Bluetooth ).
Have tried also others like TX3_MAX_2_16_OS7.1.2_32_stable_online.img; TX3_MINI_1_8_OS7.1.2_32_stable_online.img; TX3_MINI_L_1_8_OS7.1.2_32_stable_online.img.
only the TX3_MAX_2_16_OS7.1.2_32_stable_online.img lets turn the Bluetooth on.
All the roms i tried including the one for the X96-w does not allow to update google play store.
Allways gives error, saying that the packages is damages, and using twrp with gapps gives error 20.
So i apreciate if some one has a working rom for this box.
I would prefer the Stock rom but if other rom would by available with Bluetooth and playstore updated would by golden.
Tanks in advance.

Test stock rom
https://chinagadgetsreviews.com/download-android-7-1-2-stock-firmware-for-x96-mini-tv-box-2.html
I will test that rom then.
A point of concern this roms are for the x96 mini not the x96-w+
Because the roms are not specific for this box could that make the google play store not updatable ?
The only rom that works with no problems is the one for stock x96-w (no bluetooth ).
But if i use ota to uptate the rom i lose the abiliti to update google play store reverting back to stock version 7 of the app.
Is there a stock rom for the x96-w+ ( with bluetooth ) ?
The roms for the x96 mini are for a diferent box.
They work but not let update google play store and bluetooth does not work also.
I am still looking for stock rom for the box x96-w+ with bluetooth and updatable google play store.
Please, can some one help ?
Stock rom or nandroid. Please!!! Help!!!!

Hi, did it work? Bluetooth and everyting?
hi. i have a W95 TV BOX (Got it from here) that runs Andoid 7.1.
It is a Box with 2GB of Ram, 16 GB of space, Amlogic S905W
I would like to upgrade it to newer versions of Android >8 since there are a few that are not supported. The device is generic and i cannot find an official repository to download an update. So i am looking for an alternative firmware that will make this box run newer Android compared to 7.1 that currently holds.
Any suggestions please?

There are plenty alternative FW's available for your (generic S905W) device, atvXperience, Aidan's, SlimBOX ROM's and so on, google is your friend.
Thanks for your reply. atvXperience looks nice. Could someone point me to the ROM and the method to install it, please?
