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?

I have a TV box with Android 5.1 and as i can see people are talking about 7.1, Is there any way to have a link or a file to update my old firmware
OTA applications is not supporting this product and the manufacture them self is not answering my requests also am not finding any link over the internet has the latest firmware file.
Thank you so much for your support.
It seems that no one is using this kind of BOX!

Maybe someone can help me?

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 have an Amlogic S802 device, what's the best ROM for it?
Thanks.
I opened it up and the board says
M9&M8_V1.0 2014/07/07
on it
You are going to be limited to android 4.somthing, there are no newer firmware's for your chip, you should upgrade, i recommend an S905X box, they usually come with android 6, but can be updated, i have an android TV 9 ROM for S905X Devices & Android TV 7.1.2 Too, These Devices Are Cheap, if Your in the UK i can send you a link i payed 20 for a decent s905x box, with a good wifi chip inside (Alot Have Bad Performing Wifi Chips)
Thanks for the reply, I'm going to look for an Android 10+ capable TV box

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?

Hi everyone
In respect of my Post, unfortunately, I did not found any OTA.zip for this TV BOX. In addition, neither an original functional firmware to this device. I tried/tested many roms, and a ROM from T95Z plus TV box works well.
I leave for download a good ROM with Android 7.12 in my MEGA.nz:
Here the link for download ROM for Diamond A9 - RUPA - 2G/16 - S912
I hope that it helps someone

hello,
I have X96 mini, P281 board ,S905W CPU, 1GB RAM, no idea about the wifi
The OS (Nougat) 7.1.2 is working but I keep getting errors that apps or services stopped or failed, it's not severe case, I still manage to do a lot of things I just hope to find a newer OS
Sadly I found out the RAM is just 1GB, is there a way to install any newer OS or ROM on this device? of course wifi and Bluetooth support is essential, I want a fully working OS version that is not sluggish/slow
Is this possible? I want something already known to work, well tested and proven
I want to use the device to play 4K video files and play streams from local network, install the most Play store apps.

Did you find anything? I bricked the same device and I think I can't find the correct firmware for this board. My Usb Burning Tool keep failing at 2% with error [0x10105002]Romcode/Initialize DDR/Read initialize status/USB Control setup error. Do we have the same board? (it has 2308 writing on it, but I have a working identical device and its says p281 in Android Recovery:
Amlogic/p281/p281
9/00100618010151200000/1.0.0

I never opened the device to see the board number...
I decided it is not worth the effort. the information is not clear and expected results is not clear also, I don't use it anymore, too many problems to fix.
