NEW - Minix X6 Stock ROM 004 02/03 in flashable ZIP format

[Finless]

OK folks.... Again working on the Minix X6 nAgain.

Here is the official 004 - dated 02/03 Stock ROM in flashable ZIP format.

This is a full ROM and you can flash this over ANY other release!

Yes you have that correct! It will replace ANY ROM you currently have! This is because I erase everything and start you fresh! Something a FOTA update does not really do. Trust I think this is better especially if your having problems and need to start fresh!

One thing about FOTA.... If your jacked up due to issues, it will never be like a fresh install! I now provide you that capability with this flashable ZIP.
A TRUE CLEAN install of 004 like your box was brand new!

This keeps you from flashing a OLD ROM then updating using FOTA. A TRUE clean install

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.....

X6 005 firmware (20150307)

Hi Bob,

Could you, please, make and provide X6 005 firmware in flashable ZIP format?

I tried this, but its not working.

New Micro SDCard, fat32. Put both .zip file and .img file in root directory. Boots up, shows the "FINLESS Recovery"... Select SDCARD. *BAM*! Cant find /sdcard. No such file or directory.
So how is that possible? It already loaded the recovery.img from the sdcard... and now it cant find it?? Please help Looks good, and it will be a huge help to remove this useless new slow firmware (006)

i fiddled around with this, and found a solution to the problem of not finding sdcard.

1. boot up your neo x6.
2. when launcher has started and you are connected to the network, connect with adb: adb connect IP-OF-YOUR-X6
3. push your firmware.zip to /cache/recovery, like this: adb push firmware004.zip /cache/recovery (make sure firmware004.zip is in the same folder as adb/adb.exe)
4. boot up with recovery.img in sdcard (power off, hold reset and power on)
5. in finless recovery screen, choose install from cache
6. select your firmware004.zip file.
7. when installation is done, select reboot. and you are done
