[ROM] "GENERIC" SC v2.0 USER/USERDEBUG - S905x2 / S905x3 - AndroidTV 9

[blust0ne]

try the jumper first and then other point near the eMMC.

I found the location between s905x and eMMC.

You need the plug with power on switch.

first , short the point with pinset.

power-on and then quickly release the short point ( a few milisecond is enough )

check putty log shows :

G12A:BL:0253b8:61aa2d;FEAT:E0F83180:2000;POC:F;RCY :0;EMMC:0;READ:0;CHK:1F;READ:0;CHK:1F;READ:0;CHK:1 F;SD?:0;SD:0;READ:0;0.0
bl2_stage_init 0x01
bl2_stage_init 0x81
hw id: 0x0001 - pwm id 0x00
bl2_stage_init 0xc0
bl2_stage_init 0x02

no sdio debug board detected

==> and then the cpu loads the bootloader from microsd or usb, not eMMC(has bad bootloader).

you have to try override the eMMC , then you can boot microsd that is prepared by burn card maker.

maybe try to use the aluminium foil like amazon fire stick 4K rooting process,

Sorry I'm not familiar with the aluminium foil trick.
I already tried with the micro sd card prepared with burn card maker but it does not work.
Also my board is different I don't have those pins, and how should I use the pins? short them on boot?
thanks again for all the help.

no you do not need the 3.3v ...
Well then something is wrong with you connection, because you have to get a shell, since it gets past uboot and only gets stuck in kernel emmc format!

[napalmd]

you need to be very fast, keep pressing enter in putty screen!

I'm pressing as fast as I can and can't get a prompt. also tried in another pc, same thing.

check the boot stage with putty log file or attach your log file for reference.

BL1 BL2 BL3-1 --> BL3-3 ( you can get a uart console access here, in 2-3 second after power on)

here is boot log https://pastebin.com/QZLegy3Q

do I need to connect the 3.3v? I only connected ground,Tx and RX

superceleron I saw this post in the review of the Gt1 Mini2 thread, do you know if this is working in your ROM?

Hi, I have a problem with HDR10+ video files (SMPTE ST 2094) on my GT1-mini2, since my TV propably don't support HDR10+ it should fallback to HDR10 (this happens when i'm using internal player from my TV) but it doesn't work at all on GT1mini2 and presents "washed/grayed" colours, official spec state that this box support HDR10+. All HDR10 videos (SMPTE ST 2086) works well, and by the way, if i open HDR10+ file the HDR feature breaks and my TV isn't triggering HDR mode even for the "normal" HDR10 until i replug HDMI cable/change resolution etc.

and

Quite disappointed. I got feedback that the codec of this box is bad !

The author of the netflix kodi plugin has given up hope on it, it can't decode basic video on netflix properly.

dunno really, and i do not have time now to test it!

thanks for the help, but I keep bashing enter key but it does not work. I use putty, speed 115200. usb to uart adapter is pl2303. I also tried with a keyboard attached to the tvbox and pressing enter there, also didn't work.

hoo i see, the issue in your box from my build is the emmc is not compatible with my DT...
Anyway just as soon as you turn on the box just keep pressing enter key in serial terminal until you get a shell, something like "g12a_u212_v1:>"
When that happen, just type "update" and press enter ( without the "" ) and connect the usb cable and voila you can flash the box!

I have serial output here is the log:

I tried with sdcard but didn't work.

how do I flash firmware with uart?

Untick Erase bootloader at this moment does not save you from bricking the device..
Now you have to see if you have serial output then you can put the box in update mode from inside uboot, or find the emmc mask mode for that box!

try burn_card_maker first with your stock firmware, it can be used when the usb device does not appear on windows.

if burn card maker failed , check u-boot uart and masking the eMMC.

I tried with sdcard but didn't work.

Is this rom based on a Beelink Mini 2 firmware, and if so which version please?


Has anyone run a Antutu test on a Mini 2 with this build ?

No its not based in any stock fw out there!

I use only system partition on my A95X F2

At the end of setup wizard, when user can choose apps for install, I always remove all selected, but all apps are still installed


UPDATE
Google Assistant don't recognize speech. It shows I speak something, but without recognizing text.
Can anybody help me?

Well something is not ok in that "transplant", you receiving crashes in audio server... i think is because if the kernel but i cant be sure, a bet you using stock kernel!
If that kernel is not based in latest aml sdk... you going to have issues!
But 1º i recommend you test change not only system, but also vendor partitions... but because your vendor m8 be different size of mine you need to do some adjustments to the DT for it to boot!

Hi, can somebody help me understand please, is this ROM what I need to run ATV apps on a S905x3 device (e.g. X96 Air or A95 F3)? For example https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...box.digi&hl=en ? Or does the ROM just have the same UI, but such apps still need a Google certified device to run?

Yes this is as True ATV as possible, it not based in stock rom and totally made from a sdk.
And yes that app will install just fine in this rom, but i think only in the USER build, because i think that app checks if the device is rooted and selinux permissive...
Now... if it works on that 2 boxes you say, i totally do not now, this is as generic as possible but i cant cover all different hw's out there that is impossible!
