World first recovery flashable ROM for android TV boxes!
WARNING: This rom is under heavy development. There are bugs, bootloops and internal issues.
STRICTLY A DEVELOPMENT THREAD.
For a stable rom check out PoisonRom
A lot of effort and research was put into this device and will be put into the Amlogic ROM tool(A tool for creating roms for Amlogic devices(any android version)) so consider making a donation to me or buying me a beer by clicking on my name a clicking the "Donate to me" button!
Our TV Boxes are finally treated like standard android devices from this point on!
So here it is, this ROM is for the T95Z Plus 2/16GB variant, its stock 7.1.2(not 7.1.1) ported from the 3/32GB variant!
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE TWRP RECOVERY!
Here are instructions to install TWRP if you havent already.

Wifi module is not a factor anymore.
Aslong as your device is 2/16GB this could possibly work.
great to hear this i will be testing
I had no PC around (at least not in the same ip-range
So, i installed the Flashify app and used that instead...works great! So now i have TWRP 'loaded' i will give it a go in a few minutes....#fingerscrossed #yeah
Well...no USB-stick or microsdcard laying around at the moment and i also use 1 usb port for power and the other for remote control. So I ended up downloading the ROM directly to my T95Zplus.....no errore during flashing, wiped cache/dalvik and rebooting right now and so far so good...!

Quite odd, if you flashed the rom in recovery, it should have worked :/
I did find a bug though, endless reboot if you try connecting wifi
So it's canned now

I didn't get a boot loop; however, attempt to activate wifi resulted in wifi switch button moving to on position and after ~3 seconds returning to the off position. Is it possible this needs to be debugged on a per-wireless-chipset basis? I'm on 8830 q201_6255....
Please advise and let me know if I can help out with logs, etc.
Thanks

From which firmware did you flash?
I don't know if partitions are different sizes and maybe that did trigger the bootloop? I come from goo.gl/hWrmxY (Android 7.1.1 with root, 1013) and that did not work so far...

Im gonna update it tonight, ill need someone to PM me, im gonna need someone to test as i dont have my TV box with me and im away on buisness, i think i have found the wifi bug, but as you can tell with the ROM ram usage is ALOT less, framework is much smoother and alot of apps have been updated from the manufacturer
Ill also be basing it on the newest build 1075(Or if anyone has a newer build PM me)
This rom will be pretty stock with more features implemented and possibly some apps i might make ffor the device

Hi and thanks a lot for works.
i flashed my 3gb/32gb variant with a 2gb/16gb rom and it's done. but if i setup my wifi in a few seconds the startup animation appears on the screen and hang during animation.
When i start the set top box with lan cable inside, it's hang at the end of start animation and stay on T95z plus logo with the space behind but without any network it's start and the launcher appear...
can you put in the HDMI section in setting menu ? to have the CEC support?

OK. Thanks. I'm waiting for an solution about the connection trouble.
Maybe you can consider to bake a little reboot app (i use Simple Reboot) into the ROM cause it makes it much easier to test and restore/backup especially when there is no internet with this ROM at the moment.
For now I have some apk's ready on a sdcard so I will get there but would make things a little easier...

adb connect not working
Hi,
Thank you very much for all your effort Ricky. I have T95Z Plus 2/16 variatnt. I am unable to connect to my TV box using adb. I have USB debugging enabled on my TV box. The TV box and my Mac from where I am trying to run adb commands are on the same wifi network. I have tried connecting my TV box to my Mac using USB cable but still adb connection fails with error "Host is down" and sometimes "Operation timed out".
I cannot proceed further without this step. Any help is much appreciated.
Apart from adb, can I copy the files into SD card or USB drive and install it? If so, what will be the steps?
Thanks again!

I have a M8s Android box (Amlogic s812 Quad Core 2gb Octa Core Gpu).
I am running a 5.1 ROM (Originally came with 4.4). It runs great but it has 3 problems.
1. Remote doesn't work (I have a zip file I flash to get the main functions working but not all the buttons are mapped correctly).
2. Ethernet doesn't work, only WiFi.
3. When power button is pressed on remote the box goes to sleep and never wakes up. (I tried an apk from FreakTab called wakemescottie which solves this problem for maybe half a day, then it goes back to never waking up again unless unplugged.)
I am trying to downgrade to what should be a proper ROM for the box (5.1 ROM is listed as being for the M8s+) but when I try to it tells me it cannot install the zip package because the date is older than the ROM on the box.
Has anyone figured out a workaround that does not involve TWRP? Reason I am asking is I cannot seem to get TWRP working on my box from links provided. I am not sure if it is because my box is a cheap clone or if I need to do something before trying to run TWRP like rooting the box or something.
Any help on this would be great I have tried so many different ROM downloads I'm out of ideas.
Though if anyone is capable of helping me with the three issues that would be great as I do find the 5.1 ROM to be much more stable than the original ROM.

Use this method to flash the box:
h t t p://androidpcreview.com/how-to-use-the-amlogic-usb-burning-tool-to-manually-update-firmware/3749/
You will need an usb to usb male cable. Connect to usb1 on the box. No power cable needed.
Worked for me.
are there newer images.. I bought one of these

I got the 3g/32g rom was fast and seemed ok android 7.1
until I upgraded or installed the superuser from chain DD said installed ok and asked to reboot which
I did for it only to hang on the boot animation... so very sad
I suspect its altered or written to the wrong partition?
now need to reflash
recovery works with toothpick
is there a image for this new update? and can it be flash from recovery from sd card so dont need a pc
as pc cable method is more a pain

I add the info for others with bricked boxes or bad ram.. reformat reflash can bring them back
also try a new power pack.. often the voltage degrades over years and drops too low
I used the 3gb with the flashing tool usb to right sid port... leave power plug out.. and insert toothpick and
connect usb from pc.. should beep if pc detects device on USB and the tool should show finally

The above link for 2GB is not working, also can you please clarify for which WiFi chip is the above firmware? There are three versions of T95Z Plus: WiFi 8830, WiFi 6330 and WiFi 6335. If one flashes the wrong version, then WiFi will not be working on his box...
Thanks for this thread. I am fighting with a T95z PLUS 3/32GB stuck on boot. I am going to try the above ROM (the one in gdrive is still available) as soon as I can get a USB cable, and report the results.
EDIT: Is there a way to flash from SD? I have no usb-to-usb cable to try right now, I am going to have to buy one and wait for it...
EDIT 2: Flashed through SD directly. Extracted the contents to a FAT32 formatted SD card and inserted it in the T95Z Plus. Booted normally and proceeded to "upgrade". The box is working right now. Sound are wifi are working - cannot say more than that so far. I don't know if the version is older than the original that came with the box, but I guess it should be possible to update if necessary (not sure how, though).
Thanks @kiwiman2000!
I can see from the boot screen that the firmware posted for the 3/32GB model by Kiwiman2000 with which I recovered my box is the 20170623 version. I know that the one my box had before rescuing it was 20170807, so it is possible that somewhere a newer version is available. The OTA updater is not finding anything online, though. In the meantime I will stick with this working version, and if I happen to find an update, I will post it here.
After playing around with the T95z Plus after installing the above firmware, I started noticing some bugs. First, the Play Store resets itself constantly. It seems every time it updates from the factory version to the current one, whenever you open it, it goes back to factory, asks for permissions again, and resets all settings.
I have tried to replace the system apk with an updated version. This works but only when starting it for the first time. It then fails to open, and will only open again after clearing the app data.
Does anyne know how to correctly fix a broken gapps?
Latest T95Z Plus Firmware. Android v7.1.1 For 2GB RAM/16GB S912 Chipset
Here is the latest firmware for the T95Z Plus Android tv box. Works on Sunvell, and also on Weily branded T95Z plus and probably all models with same chipset. Says android 7.1.2 but it’s actually 7.1.1. Latest firmware for this box tho. Runs great.
Google search “latest t95z plus firmware” and it’ll be the first site you see called entertainmentbox. I can’t post links here as I’m a new user.
You don’t need to use the male to male USB cable method to flash firmware. You can use Burn Card maker and update box using micro sd card. USB burn card maker can flash new firmware and also revive bricked Amlogic based android tv boxes.
search on YouTube for “t95z plus burn card maker” and there are many videos on how to use this method.
Hope this helps, it will get your box updated to Android v7.1.1 build T5ZP1013 kernel v3.14.29 android security patch level February 1, 2017 Model T95ZPLUS despite the build saying T5ZP1013. I assure you it’s the T95Z Plus firmware.
As for google play updating, then returning back to previous version and default settings every time I believe this is to keep the box running without breaking any apps or software for the current firmware. You really only need the version the firmware comes with. If you wish to update keep a lookout for future firmware releases. My box has the same issue as do others I have asked. I also like to have the latest version of everything too so this is what prompted me to check into the google play thing myself.
Happy Flashing!!! -~
T95z Plus will not flash
I have tried over 7 different roms, different usb, ect all the same result
UBOOT/Partition _aml_dtb/Verify patition/Error result can't pass 9%
What does that mean??

I ran into this problem, since Kodi wasn't playing right. I used a script program universal init.d and supersu, and after supersu rebooted the device it hung on reboot. I have an easytone t95zplus but don't see any of their firmware posted online.

You first need to determine the precise model to get the firmware:
1) Is it a 16 or 32 GB model?
2) Is it model q200 or q201?
You can check these by booting into recovery.
Need files for recovery
Hello guys, i need some dire help.
i have a 3G 32GB variant with AP6255.
my wifi was broken hence i browsed thru and was flashing the firmwares using tooth pick method.
1st attempt. - my recovery didnt boot at all. no HDMI signal was going to the TV
2nd attempt - managed to boot to recovery and flashed the firmware. wifi was not fixed.
3rd attempt onwards i could never get into recovery.
looks like my sd card marker is missing some boot files.
appreciate someone could guide me the extact steps and files i need for recovery to work.

I am not sure of how to help you- but I will tell you this: I did not use a SD card maker. I just pasted the img file into the root of the SD card AND also included the extra files (which I believe are needed for proper boot and installing) from a different img file package I found somewhere else. So, tell me if this can make sense somehow:
Get the img file you tried to use in step 3 and put it in a SD along the extra files included in the package you used in the second attempt.
This is sort of the way I had to go to fix mine (although, for the sake of truth, my box is pretty unstable now - freeezes and hangs often). I hope an update would come out, but nothing so far.
Hi everybody, I'm just posting to let you know that I have very much upgraded my T95Z Plus 3/32 through the instructions in this thread, which includes firmware and recovery files.
Hopefully someone else can give it a try.
hello,
what / where is the last upgrade / custom rom for T95z plus 2/16gb S912 ?

Step 1 Download & Extract the bundle for your device
You will be getting either a zip or 7z file, personally I would use 7zip to extract these files, you should get a recovery.img and also a folder called TWRP. If you have these two things move on to step 2
Step 2 - Locations
Both SD Card and USB being formatted Fat32 - Some boxes except most s905 you can use the SD card for both TWRP folder and recovery.img, Regardless I use SD only for recovery.img, so drag and drop the recovery.img onto the Fat32 SD Card and Drag and drop the TWRP folder onto the Fat32 USB drive. Done
Step 3 - Formatting before installing.
Connect everything but the power - Connect a real USB mouse/Airmouse to the box due to the regular remote will not work, connect the USB drive and connect the SD Card, Everything but power. Some boxes have a reset button on the side and some the reset button is inside the AV jack, you will feel it, If in the AV jack simply use a toothpick or use a Q Tip with the cotton end removed and slide it in the AV jack and you will feel the button.
HOLD THIS BUTTON AND DO NOT LET GO - At the same time plug it in and keep holding, boxes with physical power button press this now. You will be presented with a blue screen, you will get a read only scren most likely, slide to proceed.
First thing first I always recommend backing up partitions incase something is to go wrong. There are tons of cloned boxes its hard to cover them all. I personally would go to backup. Locate where it says storage, and change from internal to usb otg for USB drive or external sd for your SD Card. Backup all your partitions.
When done, go back. Press the little house button on the screen or the back button until back at the TWRP menu, go to restore, Make sure usb otg or external sd is chosen, wherever you put the TWRP folder, If you are using a box not from me PM me the model and I will confirm what to restore, for example, M8, M8S BCM and AP models, MX3, M10, You can restore all, S912 boxes some are different so PM me to be safe. After I tell you what to restore do so. Let it do its thing. Once done, reboot and enjoy. If it fails by any means. Do not reboot, just go back and choose wipe, format data, type yes press enter. Once done just go back and restore data JUST BY ITSELF so untick everything but data, once finished restore all the other partitions. All done
Enjoy the build - When you first boot my firmware let it sit after it boots for a good minute or two. It will auto load my custom firmware patches and more.
If you are using M8, M8S, M10, MXq you need to follow below -
When you start the TV box. Let it sit a few minutes and first things first. In Android applications click on No Frills CPU - the accelerometer and when it opens click apply and than exit. It is super important with my custom rom to unlock the other 2 CPU Cores and the other 4 GPU Threads. If this does not make sense just go into my apps and look for no frills, same app as on the desktop you will just see the name instead.
NOT EVERY FIRMWARE HAS NO FRILLS - IF NOT DO NOT WORRY ABOUT IT.
i do not own the firmware
credits go to ghostware.
Congrats!
Just a clarification, which ROM are you using as "skeleton", and what ROM did you take the /system partition from?

if you have the recovery.img file on the root of the sd card, toothpick method should take you to TWRP where you can then flash the zip. did you give it some time (with the reset button pressed in)? it can take approx 10 seconds sometimes.

Either your download is corrupt, or you are not using TWRP to perform the update.
Has anyone been having random freezing and reboots?

Hey is there any way to fix the remote volume problem? I restored my remote config from 4.4 but everything worked except the volume button. BTW I have the remote with the red, green, yellow and blue buttons at the volume control.

I also had that problem even though I flashed the square remote zip after the lollipop update. I might have flashed the M8N remote though to be honest and I don't have the box anymore to test more remote patches.
You can try the M8S remote zip from the link below and report back if it worked for you.

I had the exact same problem when trying to upgrade to something M8S+ based. Worked perfectly the first time, but I could not start it up after a cold boot. Have you tried my original approach instead using the Team DevDigitel ROM?

And what happens if you first go back to your stock Kitkat 4.4 ROM (with USB burning tool), and then try with my original approach (with SD card)?

Help needed M8S ap6360 v1.3 20150921
Can someone make a TRWP backup from this rom ? specially the boot file
Also want to know where to download the M8s+ rom what daniel uses in this treat
Thanks
Hi d4nielr,
Wanted to thank you for the excellent work in compiling this ROM to support m8s app6330.
After trying out various ROMs and in the process bricking my device several times and un-bricking it using the burning tool, I finally came across your forum.
Thanks for the wonderful rom and the installation was a breeze and smooth sailing throughout.
Btw, for the installation I can only use the other most USB port. If I insert the sd card into the inner most usb port, it will take me to the bootloader.
So, for the TEAMWIN logo to appears, I need to put the sd card into the outer most usb port which is located at the back of my m8s unit.
cheers.......
Update.....
Unfortunately, after a cold boot, it doesn't work any longer. Back to kitkat using usb burning tool.
I have ported the famous atvXperience rom over to the mxq pro 4k boxes with the p281 bootloader ONLY! I have read numerous threads where people had the same issues as myself with the original ROM not loading/stuck on boot screen, etc. So I decided to play and tinker around with it.
This is a beta, there are known issues and bugs:
some apps in the app drawer have funny looking icons
the "OK" button on the factory remote doesnt like to work outside KODI.
You must use the usb burning tool for this rom. I recommend using a usb keyboard and mouse due to the remote bugs.
please feel free to provide ANY input, this is a work in progress and my FIRST time ever toying around with android firmware.
This is Nayam's rom just ported and modified for our unique boxes. He gets the credit, I just followed his guidance to get this working on this particular box.

I can't use on usb burning tool, gives me an error: "Key file configurate wrong!"
which version of usb burning tool are you using? Could be either wrong version of the tool, or that you need the license key for the burning tool.
Use this version of burning tool.

Thanks a lot, I have been a month with my box bricked, searching roms, info, trying tutos and that was the solution!

Awesome! Glad to hear!!
Great to see my beloved box has atv experience thread, Thanks for porting and sharing with us , please keep this thread up to date whenever there is a new update of this rom and try to fix the bugs you mentioned as soon as possible to make this box great.
Thank you for the kind words. I'll do my best to keep it updated with bug fixes.
Good job.. I'm so interested in this thread , hope you can keep it up to date whenever any new update comes and apply your bug fixes on it to make it perfect for our box
Please add instruction for how to install it using twrp and usb burning tool
Thank you. I am trying to port V2F over now. I have limited time so I work on it as time allows.
I have not tried to install this via TWRP so I can not provide instructions on that yet....I can add burning tool instructions tho, but if youre reading this thread theres a good chance you know how to use it already lol..
For the "ok" button issue I have the solution! (I think)
- Replace the file remote.tab (attached) on "system/etc" folder and reboot.
ps: when push "home" button twice, you'll see the apps :good:
p281 or not?
I don't know about bootloader, can someone guide me how to determine my decice has p281 bootloader or not?
How about if it's has deferent bootloader?

I flashed this via burn tool and recieved 100 percent pass but when i pluged it in to the tv it wouldnt turn on. Now it is no longer recognized by my pc. It was already bricked so it was worth a shot.

V2F uploaded!!
Mine crashed over a month ago. Started buzzing, then froze. Unplugged it, and now it will only boot up to the MXQ PRO screen. Finally had some free time tonight and decided to look for a fix. Actually got excited when I found this I know what I'll be doing when I get home tomorrow!!
Thank you!!!
How can I permanently uninstall some apps? (apps from factory)
in settings under apps, theres the option to delete.
T95 MAX - AEROMEDIA NANOMAX (T95 MAX Clone) ALLWINNER H6 CHIPSET EXCELLENT REPLACEMENT CUSTOM FIRMWARE BY [email protected]/FREAKTAB ANDROID 7.1.2 NOUGAT
When flashing your box with firmware there is always risks and these risks are to be understood solely by the user. Please understand that neither I or anyone at xda can be held liable for what you decide to do to your box.
I have seen many struggle to get a replacement firmware for the T95Max/ Nanomax box from Justopuk.
I am posting this for anyone who wants it and will link to instructions on how to replace the horrible stock firmware on the above boxes..
what's in it? This rom has been tweaked for better performance, much better kernel tuning and thermals, comes with magisk 19 which can be updated. Nova Launcher which can also be updated.
wht doesn't work? some lose ability of stock remote, this can be replaced via airmouse/keyboard and there is built in "advanced power menu! Quick reboot app to power off/on boot to recovery etc

https://mega.nz/file/iIsymLoD#UjQ6kp4UoTQus4XaUgujrsKX7Wd0tIT5KKZN9q0uk1g
Unofficial TWRP : This needs to be placed on USB and once you have flashed the rom, boot into recovery, apply update from external. This will USB boot to TWRP and let you back/up restore either from ext/int sdcard.

Phoenix USB 4.0 :
https://mega.nz/folder/jd0GEZJQ#7_GRu5o9Ll3AygdetcdPNQ
T95max Instructions for flashing :
Download and extract from the archive Phoenix USB Pro 4.0
Download and Install USB_android driver
Install the driver by specifying the path via device driver in Windows (you may need to disable the driver's digital signature verification )
Restart the PC (although the driver is signed and everything went well without it).
Launch PHOENIX USB PRO , select THE T95MAX_SCV2. IMG File.
We will need a USB-A to USB-A cable
Then connect the cable to the PC,
Take a toothpick or something like that and insert it into the jack 3.5 (sound output) and press the button hidden there.
Connect the USB-USB cable to the set-top box to the USB 2.0 connector in the centre (T95Max)
Keep the button pressed, Until you see a green tick on screen (phoenix usb Pro gui)
You will see the progress as Phoenix begins preparation of the Flash
after the computer has identified the set-top box, release the button and connect the power cable.
Wait until it displays end/finish firmware then Unplug USB to USB and plug the dc power back in for first boot.
Enjoy

@Bertonumber1, saw your question on freaktab and just wanted to say to the best of my knowledge you can't make TWRP the permanent recovery. you've gotta load it up each time you wanna use it on other boxes too.

Yeah mate, needs to be booted rom the USB. I figured that a while ago after messing aournd with this box and another couple I had. But thanks anyway for letting me know. :good: cheers
if I get another box in the future I'll make sure it's a pre android 10 AMLogic chipset box. that forum is buzzing with roms and mods.

Yeah, this box I have is okay, It works better on nougat than it did on pie, I'm happy with it.
I lost the stock remote but always use the rii keyboard / airmouse anyway and use advanced reboot app to turn off so its not too much of a loss.
I prefer Allwinner devices to Amlogic and have tried allsorts of different devices and roms.
IMO after all the modding and tweaking over the years. I think it's best just to update your stock rom to the latest security patch etc, root, debloat and get a custom launcher.
Unless your running a stable rom, the bugs and problems just ain't worth the hassle.
@deano2011 here's example of active cooling, it don't need to be perfect m8 just make sure it's sealed so the air flows to the board :good:
Aeromedia (Justopuk) Nanomax (T95max Clone) - Shipped with Android 9 stock Unrooted.
Flashed with [email protected] build T95Max_SCV2.IMG via Phoenix USB Pro 4.0 (windows 10)
Rooted Android 7, WiFi Bt chromecast all working,
Stock remote don't work but Airmouse does.
Strip all unnecessary apps, replace webview with bromite and Adaway.
Result : heats up a little under heavy usage but fan takes care of that, expect 32 degrees when active cooling (raspberry pi 4b case fan) is activated.

many thanks Berton' i will most likely give it a shot bud' at least the cpu/gpu won't be throttled under load with active cooling as the allwinner H6 chipset does get rather hot anyways with the manufacturer process of the chip being 28nm vs S905X2/X3 12nm process :good:

I agree with you about stability (and with phones, optimisation) being better on stock roms but I want a recents menu and notification bar. I don't think these fly by night brands put in the effort to create a good product.

Definitely, I think these roms have just been thrown together to get ppl up and running quickly with regard to movies etc, you're right, no thought has been put into settings menu, I noticed the only way you can access developer menu is to search for a setting lol.
But hats off to the guy beny he did make good progress on what was already a shockingly bad Chinese stock firmware
hello, can you help me. I can't flash image files on Phoenix USB 4.0 and can't figure out why.
mmh any recommended Android 9 image with root? Kidn regards
Hi, this firmware, is a normal android firmware, not an android TV, is this?
