Hello
I've got an Android TV Box from China. It’s an OEM device sold under the name MK805. The exterior is similar to the Mini X box, but inside is very different. It has Allwinner A10S (not A10) processor.
I bricked it while changing some files, and searched for original firmware everywhere in Internet with no results. So I tried to load firmware I found for other A10S devices (MK802+). It works, but only HDMI output. When I connect AV TVout I can only see a portion of black and white desktop. I've tried to configure different display options on section [disp_init], os script.bin file, in bootloder. At least 10 custom images without success.
I know it's very hard to find original firmware but, does anybody knows where download it?. Has anybody got this device and could dump its rom?.
Thanks in advance.
ouch! u should have backed up rom before fiddling with it hmmmm...?

Did you tired the roms from http://www.minxand.com ?
Thnaks for your answers.
Yes, I should have dumped rom before. But I didn't :crying: I'm too brave (or senseless). Now it's too late to regret.
Roms from miniand.com don't work. All of them are for A10 processors
I hope someone has this device and help me. Meanwhile, I'll continue testing changes in bootloader.

Where did you find MK802+ firmware?

Hello.
I was wondering if someone here can help me find the official rom for this phone. It is a Lenovo s850c but I think is a fake phone.
I post some photos in case someone have the same phone. I need the official rom as I have flashed it and... bricked it.... (
In spflashtool I can see it has a mtk6582.
It says the display is a ALPS.KK1.MP1.V2.11
Thankyou in advance!!

That's a fake phone for sure. It exists as "JiaYu G5S+" also on AliExpress. Same front with no brand name (first sign of a fake) but different brand names on the back cover. I bet you got it in a blue box also labelled only "Smart Phone"? Funny phone really. I wish I had one to play with to see what kind of apk's it contains to fake AnTuTu score and device info. It also fools CPU-Z to display totally fake hardware info. Did you try CF-Bench? That phone exists as a no fake 80-90$ Elephone P6i. Elephone has a HK based homepage with ROMs and links to other ROMs. Possibly also a MIUI ROM.

Here is another thread about that phone on this forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/jiayu-g5s-elephone-p6i-guide-t2931900
See Mijue M5000
Hi, I think is the model M5000 Mijue
Actual specifications are:
- MTK6582 Quad Core 1.3GHz
- Android 4.4
- 1GB Ram 8GB Rom
- 5.0 Inch FWVGA 854 * 480 IPS Screen
- 5.0MP Back Camera 0.3MP Front Camera
- Support 3G, GPS, WIFI, Bluetooth, Play Store, Multilanguage, etc
I'd be interested in a rom for this model.
Greetings.

Yes, I said it exists as Elephone P6i, wich has those specifications you list. If that hardware is packaged under the name Elephone or Mijue doesn't matter, the inside is manufactured by a few larger OEM factories for all such brands in China. The same inside as the fake Lenovo S850C in this thread exists as Landvo, Star, KingSing, Zoppo and so on also (with very few small variations). These low budget smart phones usually have that in common that a benchmark app will label the manufacturer as "Alps" and/or the firmware as …alps…
Like I wrote in my previous post in this thread, if you have that fake Lenovo S850C you can flash the ROMs for Elephone P6i from the links I posted. There is even a MIUI ROM for that phone, or at least that is what I have been told by people in the business in China. Use Chrome with autotranslation on if you come to a Chinese page (unless you speak Chinese).
Thanks
Thank you very much.
Really I am very grateful with your information and I can get down to work and take advantage of the device.
Greetings.:good:
Stock Rom S850c (Fake device)

Thanks
Thanks for the stock rom.
I have not read much about how to 'cook', but I have done some testing, I flashed the system.img other devices and some have worked, not with all the operating hardware, but have started.
Now it is studying to prepare a rom for the device (and I managed to put the CWM recovery v5).
Thanks for your help.
bricked android
help i need "rom" for this phone
aliexpress.com/item/Lenovo-phone-4G-RAM-16G-ROM-Octa-core-3G-GPS-Android-4-4-4-mtk6592-IPS/32233236860.html?tracelog=back_to_detail_a
my android bricked - no react ,no power
Sorry, I have not identified your model. I do not know how to get it working again.
If you made the backup phone can try to recover it.
To put the rom, it worked for me connect my phone to pc without battery and hold the volume +, hold immediately after connecting the battery button. MTKDroid recognizes and begins to download the files.
Luck.
@kele6a
What did you do with your phone when you bricked it?
That's a fake Lenovo for sure but in a new version that I have not seen before. It has another home button than the usual fake S850C.
But I guess it's the usual fake S850C hardware with a slightly different exterior. It looks more like a Samsung ripoff than an iPhone ripoff.
You should try to flash the ROMs in this thread or go to the Elephone homepage and look for info there. There are instructions for flashing on the Elephone homepage also.
It's very hard to really brick a MediaTek SoC. If I guess right your phone has a MT6582, not a MT6592. It can be an older MT6577 also and then the MT6582 ROM in this thread won't work.
Install the proper MTK drivers in your Win PC and then use SP Flash Tool for flashing (better than MTKDroidTools). The phone must be switched off (not standby, it must be really off) when you flash. Remove the battery to be sure. If you flash the wrong ROM you will only soft-brick the phone, so no big worry.
There is more info in the fake Jiayu G5S+ thread (also the same as Elephone P6i). I suggest you to read that whole thread. You have everything there (probably).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/jiayu-g5s-elephone-p6i-guide-t2931900
I was lucky to first make a backup with MTKDroid Tools and prepare for FlashTools, with that could resurrect.
I tried to put the rom of elephone p6i and the phone was unusable. Not even picked load, I thought it was broken.
With no reference model I had, I searched several forums as people did to 'revive'. Trying things that I read, and end with a mixture of several got to come back to life.
The most difficult for me is to find ways that FlashTools should recognize the phone to download the rom. From that moment the phone began to work, and now I'm reading to cook a rom for the device.
You have to keep in mind if you use windows 7, XP, windows 8.1 ... to install the drivers, then see which way the mode for firmware (dfu) is activated on your phone ... From what I read many models share the method to enter dfu, look at my previous post and try to see if it works.
If you do not have the backup, I think the first would find someone who may have or who has risen somewhere.
Also if you can find the phone that is clone, you can serve the rom of this. I think that is where you should focus your efforts.
I started looking for the info of MTKDroidTools (MTK6582, 1Gb Ram., android version, kernel version...), then added the type of display you thought was (FWVGA), ... and reviewing photos phones until I gave with which was the original ..., but I don't found a stock rom for this phone. I also helped another user uploaded a copy of the rom terminal in the post (thanks morpheubr).
All this adds patience, I had the phone as you and the end has come back to life. Good luck.
Hey probably I have same fake S850c, i try some ROM and now phone is unusable and I dont have faked rom copy if you have it can you upload it somewhere.

Same phone, just another fake name (Jiayu). The thread gets most interesting in the las 2 pages maybe.
Did you write down the original firmware version?

Somebody is aware where this model has a gps.conf file?
Hi everyone!
Do you have any idea if there is a custom rom for this android TV box.
I am facing several issues with the built-in and wondering if I can change it.
Thank you!
Wondering about the same question. No answers?

No compatibility issues when flashing an S805-based rom on a S905X-device??
Hi Ferocious,
I'm also interested in a Custom ROM for the M9C Pro.
You posted links to S805-based ROMs.
I may be a noob, but I wonder, how you think, that a S805-based ROM would fit on a S905X-device like the M9C Pro.
Maybe I don't know something that you know, this is why I ask you to explain it to me.
I'm sorry, if I got anything wrong and I would also be happy, because that would mean, that I learned something new and that I would be able to give this ROM you suggested a try.
Greetings,
Jem14

its an amlogic s905x, not s805!
any news on this? i also got the M9C Pro and i´d like to install twrp (and then xposed), but i can´t find a tutorial for it
M9c pro 4k s905x
Hey guys
I have a m9c pro 4k box it came with android 6. Great box now I'm having problems. It is showing the mbox boot screen. I have an apk that I setup to load on boot and play the last program it was left on but I can't see anything because the mbox screen is there. The fact is I had set up my sdcard in it to as internal memory completely forgot took the card out to lend a friend he formatted it and now that is what is happening to my box when I reboot it. I need help.. Is there anyone who can point me in the right direction. Problem with this box is that it has a reset button but it only works to load firmware from an SD card. I am trying to do the firmware update myself as I have done so with other Android systems. Can't find m9c pro firmware anywhere. I understand though that I should be able to load any s905x firmware. Help needed. Thanks.

Any luck? I have an S905 and I'd like to get to systemless root with Magisk. ( but my box came pre-rooted)
I just bought an M96X like we can find many with 2GB RAM and 8GB ROM, based on the AMLogic S905x.
My question here is, what recovery and rom are available for this box? Searching on XDA or other search engines only brought me to https://forum.xda-developers.com/android-stick--console-computers/amlogic/recovery-twrp-3-0-2-0-touch-recovery-t3454549/post69826769#post69826769 which states that it doesn't work.
Also am I right in my understanding that all M96X boxes like this one, this one and maybe even this one which is not advertised as an M96X are really the exact same hardware? If so, will there be any difference in software?
Any help appreciated!
Bump. Searching for the same information and firmware upgrade. It seems there are very few boxed branded "M96x"
s905 ( non X) ?
custom firmware ? all work for M96X

Would be interesting with and android tv rom
Hello everyone,
I take avantage of this thread to also ask if the M96x (like this one on ali expresss M96X-Android-6-0-Smart-TV-Box-2G-8G-Amlogic-S905X-Quad-Core-Kodi-16-1 )
can also support an android tv rom?
I think the hardware could support it (at least performance wise)
Is anyone interested in it and have an idea how to do it?
Thanks in advance

But my main concern is bricking the device obviously. Can anyone confirm this on there M9S ?
Attached are 2 photos of what the box looks exactly like, and what the default system launcher looks like (called S8WinLauncher.apk)

Did you try flashing the new ROM? Same as you I'm looking for an alternative ROM for this device.
Just to add, I found that firmware for the TX5 Pro box works great on the M9S X1
