Same Hardware as my older stock TX7 but with Android 7.1
Where on Earth is this Firmware Update ?
I emailed Tanix as it's not on their website Firmware Downloads.
Response NOTHING. 2 weeks ago.

Is there any way to get the launcher to 'stick' after a restart? It keeps defaulting to Oranth, until you hit the home button.

THX for img file This android is working with my device (My motheboard p212_9377; device MXQ PRO+ 4K; CPU S905x)

[blackie333]

My TX7 won't start anymore, only red light after power up, no reaction to remote, seems bricked.
I tried to re-flash the firmware with version I found online - "HQYG-TX7-nikodi-20180104.img" via "USB_Burning_Tool_v2.1.6".
I only get to 9% progress and flashing always ends with following error:
[Err]--failed:Verify Failed with sha1sum, origin sum "78813f7b79d754181bbef75515124fa52fbc341a" != gen sum "404ed59b1635e7be0ece41a9dd326675feaa0550"
[HUB9-1][Err]--[0x30405004]UBOOT/Partition _aml_dtb/Verify patition/Error result

From the error message it seems that the firmware checksum is not correct for my device.
Could anyone please send me some other (maybe older) full size firmware for Tanix TX7 2/32GB S905X for flashing ?
I'm asking because the link posted in this thread by user bodrick is now dead.

I think this is what you need

Thanx in advance
