Hello there I am working towards a more complete home automated solution I have come across LinuxMCE and this is brilliant Media Centre platform os this would be brilliant if it could be ported across to a custom rom for s802 s805 s905 and the coming Rk3368 this would as a great Linux base os for the MBOX Sorry android
On a wider note is it possible to write a custom rom that is standard Bios Based pc system with witch you could pixie Boot ( to be use in conjunction CCboot or a pixie server) or to install win7/Linux on to. The ROM would Need to incorporate appropriate drivers for win 7 ect
Then you would be able to install you own os systems but more importantly could pixie boot the same image across several mbox'es meaning when you make changes they happen accorss all machines
Also this might be a bit far what's the chance of a MBOX Base ROM incorporating Grid Computing ( Tieing all the mbox processors on a network together) so when it boots its finds other mbox's on the network with the same rom and share the processing power between the machines this would only Really be advantageous on the RK3368 BOX as it Gigabit Network socket but over all would give you an extremely powerful home media network giving you processing power where its needed Cheers

Hello !
It works very well on my H96 Max X2 4/32 wich was not ATV

Hello, I am very pleased that Rome works so well for you.
Could you please explain to me how you installed this Rom?
did you just use the update app that came with the original rom or how did you do that, there is supposed to be a flash tool, i would like to copy it for you, i have the same box and it always crashes with the original firmware, thank you very much.

It is easy. You need to flash the android Tv box (search on youtub "how to flash H96 max2")
It is always the same with Amlogic CPU. You need to use USB burning tool and a USB cable with 2 males.
Don't be worried about doing this. I was a little anxious the first time i do it, but it is really easy.
I try many ROM for my H96 Max X2 4/32. This one is the best. The original ROMS are very bad (you can found them on the web "h96tvbox").
Tell me back if you success !
thanks a lot for the help, i ordered the right cable, as soon as it is there i will test it, thanks for the quick answer i will contact you again and share my experience
Hi
hdmi cec is not running. As soon as I activate the option, I can no longer start the box using the remote control.
then it only helps to take electricity and plug it in again.
Hello I need urgent help, when trying to flash the ROM I always get the error " 0x10401001 Romcode/BI2_Boot stage Error" what can I do?
Hello. please, is there any tutorial on how to flash? USB burning tool freezes at 3 % and AMLogic Flash Tools can't flash the rom, only Bootloader or Recovery. Thank you.

check your H96Max x2, maybe it is a different version as mine.
AIDA64 says the board as franklin , not u211 based.
this firmware is for u211 based one.
mine has LPDDR3 ram and says g12a_u212_4g.
If you have a chance to update this firmware, the board has bricked at BL2 stage memory init process.
So far, i have no chance to replace my device's firmware with every firmware downloaded from net.
Hi, i have this box if i plug the usb my box turn on but nothing on pc . its' appear disconnected to him. Do you have an idea ? Thanks (sorry for my english)
Hi have resolved my problem but now i have "boot stage error"...

Hi, mine says U211 but any rom working. I have updated to official firmware and only one working, rom android 9.0 for LPDDR3 and now aida says Franklin ! it's very strange... any rom are compatible with U212 ???
my only one firmware is "aml_s905x2_9.0_H96Max_X2_mac_wifi_20190920.img" .
But I got the device with firmware dated oct or nov .
On my research, my firmware is more similar with S905x3 ones.
Now my plan is the change of the home launcher only.
【2019 TV BOX / 4GB + 64GB】H96 MAX Android 8.1 TV Box 4G + 64G Amlogic S905 X2 Quad Core ARM Cortex A53 Smart Set-top box, Support 2.4G / 5.8G
I have this one, can I install this rom successfully?
very good rom, thanks
is it possible to get the status and navigation bars back?
Hi guys,
There is two versions of H96max2 (they are exactly the same when you look at the box)
- the DDR4 one, some time name "u211". This firmware is Ok for this one. And a lot of others too.
- the LPDDR3 one, some time name "aml". This firmware not loading and do 3% error boot. For this one, you can install firmware from web site 4pda (look for H96max2). You must take the aml "ANDROID TV 9 vietnamien"
It works well, you need ton change language first if you are not russian (!).
Lovely rom, works so God damn well. You revived this box for me, I cannot wait for the pie version.
For update H96 Max X2
Thank you for this firmware is all i want, :victory:
best way for the update
1. Download Burn Card Maker --
2. Format fat32, your microSD card (not greater than 8GB ) -- formatting with your pc not with the utility ( He broke my 32GB sdcard)
3. Check yes (normal sd bootloader)
4. check yes (force erasing) flash
5. open your img file (that you download from this site)
6. Power off your Device, and unplug it from the power source
7. put your microSD card in your device (they have 3 files)
8. take the toothpick and place it inside the AV port, holding the button down then connect your box and power it up, keep the toothpick in place to hold the button down until the logo emerges.
Well, its time of Android TV 9 for all AllWinner H6!!!
Install on your T95MAX or any box Allwinner H6 the rom of Pendoo X6 Pro
LINK https://drive.google.com/file/d/11_TqTWv2hjlHEiceNHtG87TTEod3nOTr/view
then flash it with PhoenixUSBPro PC Tool and connect the tv box to ethernet or wifi at first boot
In Display settings set the correct resolution for your TV, now must delete some files and folders with the help of titanium backup and of a root browser. This step is very important because the space on system is limited and, if you don t delete all unnecessary files, you will receive an error of no space left on device when will push in the system the files of ATV9.
With titanium backup delete the app called Google 9.94.5.21 arm
Delete also one to one all preinstalled apps from settings apps except Airplay and disable app called simply Google
Now with a root browser/explorer in data/app delete the folder called com.android.vendingXXX if exists
In system, delete with a root explorer the entire folder called fastpreinstall and all files in preinstall folder except DairScreen
delete in system/priv-app the folders called GmsCoreSetupPrebuilt and PhoneSky
delete in system/app the folders called lcx6pro and YoutubeTV2
Now, without reboot the box, open from a pc - located in the same network of the tv box - the file in this folder called cmd-here and give these commands one to one
adb connect IP ADDRESS OF YOUR TV BOX
adb root
again...adb connect IP ADDRESS OF YOUR TV BOX
adb remount
adb push app /system/
adb push etc /system/
adb push framework /system/
adb push priv-app /system/
adb push usr /system/
adb reboot
Enjoy Android 9 ATV!!!
NOTE 1 - I tried in every mode to include playstore of all the versions for android TV but always says that the device is incompatible or crash. For this reason i have insert stock google service that obviously not working in ATV but you can use Aurora Store or other markets for download all the apps that you want spoofing another device, work also apps in ATV format not only the normals.
NOTE 2 - The procedure flash the files of keylayout of T95MAX, then will work only the stock remote infrared of the T95MAX. If you have another device, use another remote controller with a dongle USB or, if you want use the stock remote, copy and substitute - with a root file browser- the folder keylayout located in /usr with that of your stock rom.
NOTE 3 - At every boot will request a prompt where you must decide what launcher use..ignore it clicking on anything of they and will start ATV 9!
NOTE 4 - If at first boot of ATV9 you receive errors of crash of system apps unnecessary as Keychain, please ignore it, you can disable it but the errors should disappear alone in few minutes and not return.
Thats all!

Nice! Will this work for the Android TX6S with Android 10?
The SoC is an Allwinner H616. I wonder if it makes a difference that it is Android 10.
Does Netflix, and HBO work?
The Play Store does not work, or is it possible to maintain the mobile one?
guide updated!
I had the same question. Did you try? Does it work?

No, the only version of the playstore that works is the leanback 6.0.2 with a flash of the latest tvgapps / others playservices and playstore crashes or appeare a message that playstore is not compatible with device/....but adding this leanback working playstore create a big problem. All apps not only of this playstore... but also of alternative markets - such as aurora store and aptoide tv - are viewed in mobile version. The TV apps functionality is totally broken in this mode and TV designed apps not will work anymore. I cannot re add the playstore for this reason.
Regarding Netflix and HBO....HBO should works without problem the TV version as many others apps that i have tested...Netflix works fine but the black mobile version. this is a problem of all the TV boxes that have a widevine L3 certification and lack of level 1 DRM that Netflix ATV version requires.
Regarding the compatibility of my procedure with other Soc as Allwinner H616 not have tested but not should work because the ATV9 files used are for Android 9 designed. Should instead works with other Soc with Android 9 stock rom.
Thanks for replying

Then I won't risk it on mine TX6S since it is the Allwinner H616.
I think this one also only uses the black mobile version and there won't be much to do about that, but I don't care so much as long as content is played in Full HD. However, my ROM is faulty. First, it didn't accept my Google account. I reset the box and then it accepted but HBO, Vodafone TV app and Netflix don't work.
I haven't had time to play around with it, though.
Did someone solve the Netflix issue ? I cast the Netflix from my phone and they stuck with 3 dots loading on box
Help required. Update get stuck at 62% and abort
Dear sir, need your support trying updating firmware has bricked my device. Device does not light up now.

Hello fosseperme!
Thank You for this titanic work!
Cool!!!
Everything is working good!
But there is a problem...
The "Home" button does not work on the Remote control.
On any Remote control:
- stock Remote control;
- bluetooth or radio Remote control (for example Rii mini i25a).
I tried to use different software for these purposes, which reassigns keys, for example the "Button Mapper", but other problems appear:
- the icons of the left row applications (recommendation channels) do not scale;
- when I launch applications (from the "Favorites") - appears "Menu" (as if I press a long "Ok").
Can fix it?
Thanks!
PS. Box - Tanix Tx6, 4/32.
PPS. Sorry for my English - it's not my native language.
Does anyone have the rom for this??? File can’t be found....

Thanks! Downloading it right now. I don't care about android version, I just want a more usable tv box. Will try it as soon as I find some free time..
hi there.
i bought an android tv box:
QPLOVE Q6 Android TV Box [4GB 64GB] H616 Quad Core Cortex A53 Support 3D 6K 2.4G/5G Dual WiFi BT 5.0 LAN 100M H.265 Smart TV Box with mini keyboard.
this device is developed by ESTGO.
i know that is an "upgraded" version of T95.
i have some problems about this device.
for example i can't manage all features of launcher (LBDLauncher) and semms that some features are "hidden" as well as some application.
te device is rooted but i can manage the feature i mentioned before and i can't use some apps like ES file explorer: even if i gave the permission to install external app (from apk) ES says there is "no pacakge to install" so i can install apps only by the stock file manager.
other example is that i installed ROOT browser (for files) but id doesn't start!
if i go to settings i can see all the systems apps as well as the Launcher, contacts, google calendar and so on...
but i can see them on the app list of home page.
so i can't manage them: for example i'd like to use all the feature of the launcher like add tiles, widgets, favourite apps, add more lines and coloums ...
this device seems to be uncustomizable!
can you help me in order to unlock all its features?
can i flash a custom firmware?
please help me.
thnaks a lot.
Hello All,
I will be very grateful to any who may help me with this doubt...
I have a TV Box based on S905X3, such TV Box comes with 4GB RAM + 32GB ROM, but I want to replace (with somebody that currently have reballing some laptops motherboards) the Nand Module with more capacity (let's say 128GB ROM).
But I would like to know if that is possible, since the firmware that comes with the TV Box needs to be changed to, in order the software recognizes 1st. the Brand of Nand Module and 2nd. the storage capacity.
Since, I think (due to my limited experience with PCBs), this PCBs comes like the Motherboards for Computers Desktop or Laptop where the RAM is standard (despite the brand) and the ROM is the HDD or SDD standard too (despite the brand and working with equivalent eMMC/Nand modules), and the unique difference is the brand ??
I have understood that at the difference from Desktop/Laptop Computers, the TV Boxe PCBs don't have Bios, then the "Boot ini file" is flashed at the same time the firmware is loaded to ROM. so opening the firmware, and adding by code the name of drivers and location the PCB recognizes all the drivers for hardware placed on PCB.
It's the above correct?
and for that reason, the different firmware placed in forums and communities are packed for specific SoC brands, like Allwinner, Rockchip, Amlogic, Etc., and after according to different TV Box factories and brands like Mecool KM1, TX3, TX9, H95 Pro, H96 Max, Etc. ??
At the end, confirming my doubt will help me to proceed to such ROM Upgrade. based on ROM modules brands like Biwin, Queenston, Samsung, Etc.; I will open the firmware file, find the right "dtbo.img" file to change drivers, and then flashing the TV Box.. right !!
Thank you so much...

The pinout of different nand chips can be different, look at the differences in pins to achieve mask rom mode on various device, same brands have a higher chance to have same pins but can be different, only way to be sure is to check pinouts on the datasheets of the 2 chips, ensure voltages and clock pins ect... all match up
Ram Inof is usally stored in the DTB but i believe the storage will detect automatically, is flashes system, vendor. first, then flashed the data partition to fill the remaining storage with the lines similar to
dtbo-80000
system-3004334
vendor=8432432
data=fill
Drivers are usually inside the vendor partition, for wifi, bluetoothe ect... the DTB has hardware info like ram, pins or the ir sensor, rest button ect... and remote control information too
