Hi, superceleron.
I got H96max X3 TV box yesterday (https://aliexpress.ru/item/400054225...255033edb5ZjSD). It's worked bad on the own firmware. So I installed this your firmware to my new box. Result: the box is working much better now but not working Wi-Fi at all and also not working katniss. Could you help me sort this issues, please?

Well on wifi, i bet is a RTL chip... not much i can help you there!
On katniss what you mean? katniss is Android TV assistant( you need a mic ), here work just fine.

Hi all!
Installing a su-APP to my X96max+ with stock-ROM(AIDA64-app showed "rooted"), I bricked it . . .
No connect with USB-burning-tool and flashing the stock.IMG by micro-SD shows a killed android on screen :-)
As stock-recovery is still working, I'm in need of i.e. an ota.zip to get the device back to life.
Problem is: Can't find any zip only stock.img . . .

@superceleron
Your rom.zip(correctly signed for X96max+, if needed?) could repair the device. Perhaps You got some time in future to do it?
THANK YOU!

Probably be a loong wait...
Find ANY device acceptable zipto get back "up".
Perhaps then you can load twrp and have Some flexibility with flashing a desired rom.
Did you look at Magendanz ota work? idk ther is compatibles, just a thought. Also you might try to change the updater script to match the oem checking language. Provided hw is a match otherwise.

Thanks for Your speedy answer!

. . . Find ANY device acceptable zipto get back "up".

zip has to be signed correctly for X96max+ and stock-recovery . . .

. . . Perhaps then you can load twrp and have Some flexibility with flashing a desired rom. . . .

Workable idea, this one is for X96max, failed for X96max+:

Link to "Magendanz" ?

try AMLogicTools_V6.0.0 CustomizationTool.exe.

unpack amlogic update img and then repack to the update.zip format.

try AMLogicTools_V6.0.0 CustomizationTool.exe.

unpack amlogic update img and then repack to the update.zip format.

Already tried, but failed for missing META-INF(of stock-OTA.zip) . . .

https://forum.xda-developers.com/android-stick--console-computers/amlogic/converting-amlogic-firmware-img-files-t3598139

Method two (I never tested that):
Take the META-INF folder from an OTA update of a box with identical hardware specs.

Don't work on H96 X2 MAX LPDDR3 4\32.

[superceleron]

Don't work on H96 X2 MAX LPDDR3 4\32.

Pitty thks for let all know

[blust0ne]

Don't work on H96 X2 MAX LPDDR3 4\32.

try system.img only.

my h96max x2 4G lpddr3 can run ATV debug image well.

unpack the image and you should resize the system.PARTITION image as 0x5c800000 size in linux machine.

using update.exe (AMLogicTools_V6.0.0 has the tools on bin foilder) to flash like usb burning tool.

where I can get system.img? tnx

[blust0ne]

where I can get system.img? tnx

check your android version and system partition size first.

Android 9.0 and system partition larger than 0x78000000 (the SC's image size ) is required.

CustomizationTool.exe of AMLogicTools_V6.0.0 can unpack this image on the tmp\level1 folder, system.PARTITION.

if you partition is enough to fit this image, AMLogicTools_V6.0.0\bin\update.exe can update the system partition as usb_burning_tools.

update bulkcmd "disk_initial 0"
update partition system system.PARTITION
update bulkcmd "reboot recovery"
factory reset at recovery menu and reboot.

if you partition is smaller than 0x78000000, using the linux system , resize the system.PARTITON image to fit yours.

simg2img (change sparse image to normal ext4 image) -> resize2fs (resize the ext4 image ) and then burn.

blust0ne thank you, I'll try

[superceleron]

Yes, is not that hard to do if you follow blust0ne directions.
I use 0x78000000 ( That translates to 2Gb partition size ) size because i like to be prepared to add more stuff in it, without having to mess with DT and sdk configs all the time.

Hi, superceleron.
I got H96max X3 TV box yesterday (https://aliexpress.ru/item/400054225...255033edb5ZjSD). It's worked bad on the own firmware. So I installed this your firmware to my new box. Result: the box is working much better now but not working Wi-Fi at all and also not working katniss. Could you help me sort this issues, please?

hello,

did you find a solution regarding the wifi?
