[ROM] SLIMBOX X3 ATV and AOSP for N5MAX S905X3

[mrwislr]

I did use this, wifi and bluetooth still do not work (I just did a fresh installation of the stock rom, rebooted in to twrp, flashed the slimbox atv, then flashed the vendor file, the one you provided, wiped cache/dalvik, rebooted).

I can toggle the wifi button on, it says "available networks" but does not show any networks, the button shows as "on" for about 15 seconds, then it slides itself off, and the box freezes for about 10 seconds, then seems to crash out of the settings and back to the home screen.

Also, any way to make it so the front LED clock on the TV Box does not say "Boot" all the time? thanks for the ROM and assistance.

I found that if I installed it without the patch everything worked just fine. With the patch bluetooth didn't work.

use vendor X96_Air_X3_P1_P2_V2 https://drive.google.com/open?id=1m8...OXwW5djaP-IbyL

Dang this is confusing stuff, how did you guys learn all this stuff?

So basically im patching a good working stock rom?

Thats a cool idea actually if you start with everything working

Well i didnt get the X96air from the slim thread it was another link in one of the slimbox threads that linked to the russia site. I had to change the language after it booted up.
I think all the slim files are the type you need to connect the box to the PC using a cable and i havnt got that method to work yet just the SDcard flash and i dont think his files are this type?
The X96 file was 700 megs zipped then it was like 1.3gig uncompressed, all the slim files are around 600 meg which seems to small to be a full OS
IM still new to all this and im still trying to figure it all out but willing to spend the time to try

Yes this thread is for a TWRP-Flashable ROM, it is why the files are so small, you will need to get the TWRP made by Vitaly from 4PDA to FLASH this ROM correctly after returning your device to factory stock N5_Max ROM. To return back to stock you need a Stock .IMG file that is installed via PC+USB-Burning-Tool. Can search the original 4PDA thread for links to YouTube where SlimHouse posted a couple videos about this specific ROM install, and the original 4PDA link also has links to the YouTube Video postings.

BowerR64 ...umm, I haven't tried this ROM yet, but if you are downloading the links that SlimHouse posted in first post of this thread it should work with your device "N5_MAX with S905X3"
It is very weird that you got the X96air boot image, this ROM is universal LOGO.img and SYSTEM.img Swap meaning you change that in First Flash then flash the Vendor.img swap in second Flash so you can have Bluetooth and WiFi working in the ROM. The PATCHES are the Vendor.img swap patches, and my thinking is you would not need to change anything in your Vendor.img as this Rom base code was for N5_MAX_S905X3.

Well i got the X96 air to finally download and tried it on my N5 Max box, it booted and everything seem to work but the bluetooth wouldnt turn on so i dont think my version of N5Max is the same as the X96

I also didnt like when it booted it said "X96 Air" and in the settings "about" said X96 also

Ive spent more then 4 hours at different times trying to find, and download the N5 Max firmware and i just keep getting links to patches to patch the slimbox firmware i havnt been able to find and download the actual N5 Max firmware yet for some reason.

I installed the ATV version, but followed the exact same steps, and bluetooth / wifi are not working for me. Bqeel Y8 Max.

use vendor X96_Air_X3_P1_P2_V2 https://drive.google.com/open?id=1m8...OXwW5djaP-IbyL

Hey, guys. I was able to solve the situation and get a stable ROM with everything (including Bluetooth working). After installing SLIMBOX AOSP ver 4.1 and installing vendor X96MAX.
That's it , Bluetooth working!

So these were the steps:
Factory reset old ROM;
reboot into TWRP;
Install new ROM ; (SLIMBOX-X3-system-AOSP-ver4.1)
Install patch for your box, (my case SLIMBOX-X3-vendor-X96Max-Plus2)
Wipe Cache/date
Done

I installed the ATV version, but followed the exact same steps, and bluetooth / wifi are not working for me. Bqeel Y8 Max.

@RiCkLaR_atvX

Thanks so much for the post. Its very helpful.

Do you have a preferred TWRP version for the Amlogic devices?

I believe the latest working TWRP for Android 9 found on this forum was version 3.3.1

Dear all,
Requesting someone to kindly provide Magisk Recovery Patch for X96 Max Plus android box that has Slimbox firmware AOSP version.

Research and Search the forum about installing Magisk to 'Recovery partition' for Amlogic devices, also read Magisk XDA page and help page -- You will need working TWRP and latest Magisk.apk then create a Recovery.img that is patched for Magisk. Reboot to TWRP(best is TWRP mounted SDcard) > Install Magisk.zip > due twice just to make sure it installs with no errors > Flash Patch-Recovery.img > Reboot > Reboot Recovery to load Magisk-SU controlled device.

Do plenty of research, if you do not understand the process DO NOT PROCEED with install, this is an advanced process, when done incorrectly you will lose Root or Brick your device.
