Hi everyone i recently bought an X96Q tv box with the allwinner H313 proc. 2GB/16GB rom Android 10.
I am not pleased with its stock rom. to many lags, if i link my G acc and make the updates all the apps stop working or crashes. the netflix app is ancient but its the only thing that is working so i'm searching for something alternative like a LineageOS or anyother. i installed the atv launcher but it still sucks cause of the rom....
i searched everywhere for a h313 compatible rom but with no luck. Is there anyone that could help me?
Thanks in advance
@speedakis your post is fairly new if the purchase is the same send it back. I saw a review comparing that chipset against the H616 saying the latter fixed many of the overheating issues present in the x96. if it's still possible send it back.
unless a dev buys a box and makes it a personal project I don't think we'll see custom roms or a recovery. these aren't popular enough devices to have attracted support.
As attachment there is image with magisk included.
This device is compatibile with other TV BOXes with Allwinner H616 SOC, for example Tanix TX6s - I have tested this rom with success. Bootloader button is hidden inside AV port.

Device is rooted by default and there is SU binary in rom.
To force device to installing image from img file you need run ADB command:
su
reboot efex
Software to flash image is PHOENIX Suite.
after upgrade storage become only 4.7GB.
Help me please

I do the su
and
reboot efex,
but after I can't flash on PhoenixSuit because it is not detected on that mode.
What should I do?
EDIT: I've managed with PhoenixUSBPro
The same thing has happened to me, the image works but it does not have root, several attempts by adb if it has a su file, but it is not operational and the entire image is denied access.
Well with the magisk manager application I have got root and adb fastboot NDK module.
Hi, Im a newbie here. I have this TV box x96Q_max_ pro and I want to know how to root this device. TIA.

How to root with the magisk manager?
I recently bought a 4GB/64GB X96Q device. It was delivered with an older ROM that had quite some problems. Netflix for example did not work at all and video playback did suffer from lag and stutter.
After I performed an OTA update the internal storage is only 8 GB and one of the USB ports is no longer functioning. After I complained about these problems and mediation of AliExpress the seller was forced to pay me a 50% refund. In the end I only payed €10,24 for the device.
After I flashed the ROM from the link in this topic the device is working much better. Both Netflix and video playback work fine now. I only use the device as a network/DLNA and Netflix player and do not need the internal storage (8 GB is more than enough) and USB ports. There may be much better devices but in this price range the X96Q offers quite a lot of value for money.
can anybody help me how to do a shortcurt in this motherboard?
Is it able to change the launcher and manage some apps with the custom rom ????
You can use any launcher you like.
I currently use a custom version of the ATV Launcher combined with a custom wallpaper.

Good afternoon friend. Sorry for my English, I'm Brazilian ...
I found nothing more than this topic about the X96Q as it is a new box, and I also found the standard rom very weak. Could you ask me a question about the exchange?
Do I execute the command via ADB, disconnect the box and then connect it again to recognize it in Phoenix? It's the first time I've done the process, sorry if it's a lay question.

PhoenixSuit_V1.10 works quite easily with this box and the rom provided here. Cable usb type-A to A of course.

Do I use the latest TX6S firmware that is on the Tanix website or does it need to be a specific version?

Well obviously on Tanix website is an "official rom" with no root. The rom in the thread is rooted. With PhoenixSuit_V1.10 you can upgrade the rom without formatting which is a plus.

Bootanimation by atvX doesn't work
No pre-install apps
init.d not working
Wi-Fi only for a few chipsets
DO NOT FLASH WITHOUT CONSIDERING THAT THE NEW UBOOT MAY LEAVE YOUR DEVICE UNFLASHABLE!
great stable rom with oreo and atv experience (pun intended!). some minor notes:
- couldn't get to HDMI-CEC menu without going to apps in the settings and then launching the second settings apps. it would be nice if that was easily accessible.
- no wifi for me, used ethernet to get it up and running. i have the m9c max 4k box. not sure which wifi chipset it comes with.
- livetv works great without having to install anything additional for my hdhomerun network tuner. this wasn't the case with atv and 7.1.x release. apparently with 8.0, access to hdhomerun must be built in, which is great.
- really nice and clean interface. i -hated- recommendations, and this allows me to put simple couple of apps at the top for an elders without recommendations flooding the home screen.
- youtube works great.
- haven't tried, but i assume, no root ? (since i don't see supersu by default)
Great work... first and only Oreo ROM i've seen for a generic S905X install. (yes, there is other oreo image on freaktabs, but that's not atv). so a big THANK YOU! keep up the great work.

Thanks for the detailed feedback. This is still a work in Progress because I will eventually be launching Android Pie for S905X devices so thought it'd be a better idea to just leave this here for those wanted to test.
Thanks again for trying the ROM out

I've been trying some roms for my SAMMIX R95S 1G/8G for a couple of days until I found this one.
I'm stuck with it, can't boot to recovery, SD recovery boot doesn't work, root is not enabled. USB or TCP
Settings are really limited, and I can't enable USB debugging or ADB to flash a new rom using a USB male to male cable or even ADB over TCP IP.
I also tried a TWRP recovery.img in a microSD and in a fat formatted USB disk, but no go.
How can I wipe it and move on?
Thanks
Still stuck with this
I finally found the settings to enable developer menu, and enabled USB debug, but reset button, microSD and USB seem useless, not even any usb device detected when I connect the USB male to male cable.
I then tried with AMLogicFlashTool.exe from AMLogicTools_V6.0.0, the device connects using TCP/IP, and I'm able to flash recovery, but no way to reboot into it with the reboot buttons in the app. Then I flashed the recovery.img into boot, to see if I can boot it from there and recover a nandroid backup. Both flashes went ok without errors. But no way I get into TWRP after rebooting.
I then downloaded the latest supersu 2.8.2 and latest adb and fastboot versions to see if I can root it from console.
Adb connects ok with tcp/ip and I can even open an adb shell to the device, but I can't mount /system as rw.
I think I nearly have it, just need to find a good script to root the device through network adb.
Any help with this?
---------- Post added at 08:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 PM ----------
I finally solved it with "adb reboot update", and then the new rom got flashed from the microSD card I prepared with Burn Card Maker.
I don't know why you disabled this SD upgrade feature, and why USB ports don't work, I lost a few hours thanks to this, but at least I learned new stuff.
Best regards!
Is there a way to install Google Assistant on this ROM? Thank
Awesome project, thank you.
"Wi-Fi only for a few chipsets"
Is there any way to know which chipset are these (the ones working). I can use ethernet to set the ROM, but then I will have to use wifi, so it would be nice to know which wifi chipsets are working.
Thank you.

Great custom Rom, I tried flash to HG680-P which using Armlogic S950x, 2GB/8GB, unfortunately I got error on 7% with error message "[0x32030201]Uboot/Get result/DiskInitial error
Any advice regarding case above?
Ps: After that error, I tried flash HG680-P stock rom, and success, i mean i think there is no related with software version of flashing tool or usb to usb cable.
Any feedback will really appreciated

hi Try this version of USB Burning Tool its the one ive been using for 6 months
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1oS0WAjJ-u9IaKb4GSd8zqHL4VbCHjhiW
Also when connecting the box to flash click START before you connect the box
but sounds like it dont like the uboot if you have a working ROM it may be possible to take thew uboot out of it and insert it this ROM
Hi,
I am very new to this, but this looks great. I was wondering whether you could tell me if this would also work for a S905 chipset device? I have a Trongle S2 on 5.1.1 so would like to upgrade, but cannot find any official firmware for it. Thanks!

Hi, i dont think it has anything to do with the build prop, more lightly either its a drm issue or it could be a codec issue, Android tv seems to have issues with D+ alot of the time
You could maybe try the settings and turning off any audio processing, i dont have Disney plus so i cant really test that specifically
aldo read somwhere if you start downloading what you want to watch then play it that maight work as a workaround, Good luck

Hi ,Thanks, i think it has to do with the device not having Widevine L1 certifacation, its the reason netflix wont work either, you could try the mobile version of the app as that (as far as i know) only needs Widevine L3 (wich this rom supports) the prime and netflix (TV Verions) wont work due to this, i dont have a prime or netflix account to test the mobile versoins, if it works let me know please

Hey All
Its been a while since I got to play with anything these days but I recently found one of these POS 10in touchscreen units in the dumpster and it fires up into a menu running android. So I was hoping I could reflash this and use it like a tablet given it's also got a small thermal printer in it, so maybe try and save it from e-waste
I searched online for more details and came across this HERE which is identical to what I have so hoping I can root it and flash it with a clean android?
I would love to repurposed this to use as a touch screen tablet or similar, since it's got a GSM module and can take an SDCard too as I opened it up and took some pictures and I managed to get it in a recovery mode as well - from the PIX its using a rockchip RK3368

I am not sure if the mini usb port is a OTG port to try and use ADB but I have not been able to do much with it and hoping someone can guide me through to possibly a reflash or ways to unlook root and add in another bootloader/rom
I've downloaded the files from citaq website but so far not been successful to do much with it, has anyone played with these and turned them into something more practical for the home?
Here's hoping for some tips - Apology if this is in the wrong section, move as needed :good:

@Kostiz
Device actually is running Android 5.1.1. It seems it has only 1GB RAM what is far too little to run a full fledged Android.
As long as you don't replace device's Stock Recovery by TWRP or similar recoveries, after a successful rooting don't install Magisk and/or Xposed Framework, you're on the safe side to play with, IMHO.
As 1st step check whether device is accessable by means of both ADB and Fastboot.

Hey, Thanks for chiming in!
So in order to get ADB and or Fastboot its suggested to enable USB debugging in the device system settings, but I am not sure on how to do this, would it be safe to assume this is already USB debug is already enabled?
Could I back up the original stock recovery
I'm a little green on the whole process hence looking thought I'd ask here, I don't think I even have an OTG cable handy
I will see if I can load ADB on a windows box and try and talk to this unit
Cheers
Kosti
@Kostiz
An OTG-cable isn't needed, because the recovery menu
doesn't give you the opportunity to load something from an USB-device
OK, some success!
I went back and connected a mini USB straight to the PC and ADB driver installed detected the android device.
Ran ADB in windows powershell
So whats the best method to backup the entire ROM, and recovery files in the event I stuff this up?
Do I use just ADB for this or someother tools?
I did try one tool here from the vendors website but stuck as not sure what the Chinese characters mean..
Is the fact that this is only 1G i couldn't run Android at all and needs to be stripped down?
Cheers

BTW how do I go about using volume rockers and power button to move around the menu in recovery when there is none but only the two buttons as shown the reset and recovery buttons on the main board?
BTW, the current ROM installed boots into a special menu, all other settings are hidden, would there be a way to enable seeing all the items and when getting the the settings (gear icon) that pops up in the corner, only takes me to the standard wifi menu to choose a wifi, so it seems everything else is hidden, if by enabling these I could potentially not need to do anything other than stop the default application from starting up - if that makes any sense
Could I just get back into a adb shell and try
adb shell
su
pm enable applicationname
I have to read up on rooting first I assume before I do much more, this is getting exciting, LOL :good:

You use Android's HOME button to navigate within the Recovery menu, use POWER button to select option.
Hi, fellas! Please help me with one of these Citaq H10 POS. All we have is bootloop with some custom ROM showing vendor's logo.
Forcing it into recovery gives me some dead android screen with "No command" text.
Please guide me through this challenge, cause I have no other option but to ressurect it somehow.
Good news is that I have another one that is working fine, so we could try cloning it or something. Please help!
Yet I can't attach pics, cause of few posts, but if needed I can PM some.
citaq h10-2
I am also stuck with this machine citaq h10-2 , i did use a wireless kb to move up/down and not the 2 buttons on the motherboard , i can talk with it with ADB but all you can do is put it in sideload to upload new firmware and put it in fastboot but in fastboot you only get a black screen , what I have don is > opened up developer mode but you have no OEM UNLOCK tick box in side so running any bootloader unlock dose not work and i have run them all, if you google this machine for flashing new firmware you only get XDA this forum, unless any body knows another place to get the info from please let us know as i do think this would make a nice tablet with printer, the firmware is 5.1.1 and would love to put 6.0 or above on it but. i did download some firmware and used sideload to install it but it come up with error , i did try and make a backup but cannot do it ?, I think the firmware was from a galaxy s5 , I am not into all this firmware flashing so I am learning as I go along and if I brick it up well it was for free any way as the takeaway was shutting down and he gave it to me so no loss, if any body knows how we can get 6.0 or above on this machine please let us know.
A big thank you to all that can help put android 6.0 or above on this tablet.
Did you guys take a look at the solution here ? It worked for me ! All with a 2k ohm resistor...
Hola, alguien tiene la Rom de este dispositivo?
Hey, I wanted to share with you people a little experiment I've been trying.
We have been seeing a lot of 9.0 ROM's come to our Amlogic devices and when I found out about the presence of the Project Treble on these I wondered about the possibility of booting Certified Images, like the Mi Box S, on my device.
So I installed DaivietPDA 9.0 for TX5 Pro ROM (which is the one I found to work best on my device, other ROM's such as ATVXPERIENCE should work as well), downloaded an OTA Image for Mi Box S 9.0 update, converted the system.new.dat.br to system.img, used TWRP to install the system and VOILA!!! IT BOOTED!! Everything is working perfectly, WIFI, Bluetooth, etc, etc. (Even with different wifi chips, since the vendor is untocuhed). One amazing thing I also noticed is that finally I was getting Play Store Certification. Also, don't forget to disable Chromecast app it won't work without certification, will just make your device slower.
It would be pretty interesting for someone with a AOSP ROM 9.0 who wants to get Android TV. I also thought about the possibility of booting ROM's from Android 10 devices like the Chromecast with Google TV but I don't think it will be possible since those devices will be using vndk29 while the 9 ROM's are vndk28 but I could be wrong, on the same thought I'm not sure if other Amlogic chipsets such as S912, S905X2, etc will be compatible as well as I don't own one personally but if someone could test, would be appreciated.
Anyway, I'll leave down bellow what I've used to get it booted and some screenshots (even though you're already familiar with Android TV UI). If you think I should do a more detailed tutorial let me know and most importantly I want to get some feedback from other people who try this.

Hi,
it's great! You may try to copy widevine related files from the Mi Box vendor to the working vendor ...

Nope, widevine keys are hidden in bootloader.
gr8 work bro, actually i was searching for a certified ATV Rom and play store.
my device is x96 Max 4/64 aml s905x2 u212 running XTM_X96M4G_ATV9_V1_0 (XTMOD v1 custom rom).
the question is what about flashing the update directly without the Rom you used??
Ok Here's What I found playing with this, may be helpful for someone
I Tried Flashing From Many Firmware's (At least 8 Different 9.0 Firmware's Some Android TV Others Not TV) And Davietpda (Namely Version I Used: aml_upgrade_package_s905x-tx5-atv9-v6-fix-ce AP6212) was the only firmware to successfully boot into TWRP (other roms would fail to install TWRP with a error about permissions or if it did install it would not get past the TEAMWIN boot logo so couldn't try to install the system.img)
Using The Davietpda v6 firmware worked but i had no Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Or Remote Control (Only HDMI CEC & USB)
I Attempted To Repackage Davietpda Firmware With The Vendor Partition Replaced With one From an older davietpda firmware that my Wi-Fi & Remote Worked in (This Is Actually V1 of Davietpda ap6212 But NOT in v6 With Wi-Fi my Wi-Fi being AP6212a, The "A" variant seems to need different nvram)) This Was Unsuccessful
I Then Made A USB Burn Tool IMG with Only V1 Davietpda Vendor Partition and flashed this using USB Burn Tool
After Flashing The Image And Letting The System Try & Boot, it failed to boot and came up with recovery options, After A Factory Reset Here my system booted with working Wi-Fi Bluetooth & Remote Control
In The Time Since Posting This I Have Crafted 2 Base Firmwares (Not Android TV) To Flash Over, Then Created 3 TWRP Install Zip Files
● If Wi-Fi Already Works,
● For Ap6212a (The A Variant Needs Different NVRAM.txt) & Maybe Others
● Universal Version That Should Install Over Treble Enabled Firmware (Using TWRP & This Is Untested)
without sounding stupid what boxes would your method work with?

ok another stupid question, why not just install the base firmware directly first??
Not a stupid question at all that's how we learn and I'm not sure what you mean by this but I assume this is what you wear looking for awnser wise, the firmware is only released as an OTA update package so needs files & partition layout from a base FW to update to
Hi DiogoSilva48
I tested it on Mini M8s II and It's very good. Thank you very much!
I have 1 android box other used S912, I have installed firmware slimbox ATV 9, however bluetooth and wifi are not working.
I have stock Android firmware 7.1.2, can you integrate bluetooth, wifi into slimbox firmware? Or show me how to do it?

wifi drivers from android 7 wont work in android 8+ due to newer kernel, drivers would need to be compiled for 4.19 kernel (not android 7 3.14)

will this work on Beelink GT-King?
The USB flash drive does not work, it can be recognized, but it indicates that the USB flash drive is damaged. But I don't know if it's an isolated case.

I think its broken NTFS, the same fix i tried before didnt seem to work, i still want to convert the stock firmware to android tv, this should result in far fewer bugs but not managed to get it working properly yet
Yo Aidan, I hope you're doing well. I'm considering to buy MINIX NEO U22-XJ and help you with testing. What is the current status for this device and what is the rom based on?
Cheers

hi, it is an awesome device and stock firmware is solid and works very well with great video decoding capabilities, my rom is based on the stock firmware and mi box firmware port, means its always posible to return to stock, im learning as i go about all this
Hi Aidan. Does your version actually with on the u22? Also, is it capable of playing hd audio? (Dts-hd, dts-x) or aac 5.1/7.1 correctly?

Yes I know OTG adaper is working I managed to maneuver firmware V7 s912 but still cannot turn on and off. Can you manage to do a little adjustment on your firmware.for The Minix Neo U9h s
sorry still some audio codec issues, but V8 is now available
There is a way to ROOT your firmware, it is only to install apps as if they were from the system, like YouTube and Google TV (or Google play movies in my region)

Hello Aidan;
First thank you for all your work , i successfully update an old Tanix T9( with your other rom).
I own a Odroid N2+ and i would like to test this version on it, but when i want to burn the .img with Etcher, it simply do not work and when i try the Amlogic Burning tool with OTG on the N2+, the device is not recognized.
It would be interesting for me because i currently use Voodik atv version (which works well) but without some codecs its difficult (e.g: Disney+ , 6play).
What can I do to make it testable?

Hmm look like this device uses etcher to flash, i havent seem this before, if you can find some way to unpack the rom you have, take system.PARTITION, product.PARTITION ANd logo.PARTITION From my rom then replace in yours, rickys toolay work, not sure if odrood have a diffrent firmware format
