OK folks.... I am now working on the Minix Neo X6.
First up.... a EZ root tool for you all that's in a update.zip package
_________________________________
Understanding recovery and why it must be done from SDcard using my custom recovery!
You will need a SDcard to use this package! Why?
Because for the X6, Minix decided to sign ZIP update packages with new keys.
The recovery is not using standard Google keys!
I do not have those keys yet but I have asked Minix for them. We shall see.
In the mean time, I had to modify their recovery.img so it worked on standard Google keys.
This is the only way to use my ZIP packages! Now the keys match and it works.
BUT... what does this mean? It means you MUST USE A SDcard! Why you ask?
AMLogic device on boot to recovery (using reset button or a reboot app) first looks on SDcard for a recovery.img. If it doesn't find one on SDcard, then it uses the recovery in NAND memory.
Well the one in NAND memory I cannot use because it uses different keys...
So you MUST use my modified recovery booting from SDcard.
Make sense?
Good.... On with the show.....

DO NOT just copy this download ZIP to SDcard and expect it to work!
UNZIP it and read the README for instructions!
