Stock firmware

hi,
does anybody know where i can get stock firmware for this board, or which custom rom is working with this. I flashed lewy20041 hybrid custom firmware thinking it was cs918. Flash was successful but i get no output to the display. Thanks

[noobx]

found working custom rom

for anyone interested I found a working custom rom thats also rooted. Everything works except wifi, composite connection, and original remote. You can use a wired connection to a wireless client and connect a wireless keyboard and be all set. Here is the link http://www.freak-tab.de/neomode/ncr_...III_kitkat.zip thanks to neomode for his work.

I'm still looking for stock firmware as well, but not having much luck. If anybody buys one of these, can you back up your firmware?

The box as is works...ok. I had issues with 1080p playback on XBMC. Lots of video stuttering. Was trying to install justXBMC rom but I couldn't find a version that worked. Need to have wifi and remote. Patiently waiting/trying to build the skills myself, but I'm no programmer

can anybody who bought this board do the community a favor and request the stock firmware from their seller. I requested the firmware from my seller but they don't know. Thanks

Stock Firmware

I did ask the seller for a firmware image, but it all went VERY quiet after that But as I said in my 2nd post in this thread, my stock image doesn't seem to support 1080p at all.

I don't have a lot of spare time these days, but I will at some point have a bash at extracting a backup of the NAND Flash contents. I'm very new to this and not even sure if the tools will work on Windows, or if I will need to build a Linux VM.

Any pointers greatly appreciated.

The tools will work with windows, here is the link to the tool you need for dumping the rom. Thanks to Finless

http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?10129-Backing-up-your-RK-device-(ROM)-with-the-new-RK-2-1-tool

Its very easy to do, instructions are included in the package. First you need to install the rockchip drivers.
You will need an otg cable.
1. connect the otg cable to the box first
2. hold the recovery and power button together while you insert the power adapter, windows will detect it and try to install drivers and fail.
3.Open device manager and look for unknown device then right click it and select update driver software, select browse my computer for driver software, point to the drivers in the package applicable for your system.Windows will install the driver for Rockusb device.

Now you can follow the instructions for the rom dumper tool.
One other thing, after about 2 minutes of inactivity you will be disconnected from PC. You will know this when you see "No Found any Devices" at the bottom. To reconnect the device: while holding the recovery button press and hold the power button for 3 seconds then release. You should see "Found One Loader Device" at the bottom of the androidtool. That's it, hope it helps.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

If anybody loads this rom dont forget to do a factory data reset in the system settings, otherwise it wont mount the nand flash.

Hi,

I have the same device, and made a rom dump, with:

PARMZ

FIRMWARE_VER:4.1.1
MACHINE_MODEL:rk30sdk

I noticed that the kernel, kpanic and misc partitions are completely empty (all filled with 0xFF), is this normal?

Anyway, here are the links to the relevant images:

System partition is a little big, so will upload later only if someone needs it.

I have no idea, maybe somebody with more experience can chime in, but im assuming that if the androidtool reported success when dumping, it should be good. I can verify that The Rom dump that bloatman uploaded is good. If you flash the rom dont forget to factory data reset. Thanks

Yeah the kernel is empty, I tried patching it and there were 0 tables. I found out that the kernel is packed in the boot.img. You can extract the kernel from the boot.img with this tool http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.p...Firmware-Tools.

Funny, your rom is different fro mine, yours has in build.prop:

ro.vendor.sw.version=TV-BOX_ANDROID4.2.2-SDK_V1.0.2_V12_20140510

Mine is:

ro.vendor.sw.version=TV-BOX_ANDROID4.2.2-SDK_V1.0.1_V12_20140421

And flashing your rom in my device fixed HDMI output ad full-hd!!!
