Same device, other name (AC8350 BX09)?

[no_spam_for_me]

I've order now at **** Germany with Stock Germany this device

(**** search "Android Quad Core TV")

Same device, other name?
We will see...
First open the case, have a look at the board...
If it is not a "CH001 TN-BX09_V2.x", returns within 30 days
But I think so, that's a "CH001 TN-BX09_V2.x"

System
a) not rooted
b) Settings -> System -> About device
Model number: rk31sdk
Android version: 4.2.2
Base band version: unknown
Kernel version: 3.0.36+ / root@localhost #10 / Tue Jul 9 18:41:51 CST 2013
Build number: rk31sdk_eng 4.2.2 JDQ39 eng.linking.20130709.184313 testkeys
Vendor software version: RK3188_R-BOX_ANDROID4.2.2-SDK_V1.0.0_130514

Board
The PCB is printed with (from top to down)
CH001
1335
TN-BX09_V2.1
2013/05/31
and generally looks like this
(from http://bbs.shafa.com/article-22-1.html)
The only different think I can recognise at the moment is, that there is a "IMG M1206IG 1330" instead of the above showing "IMG M1201IG 1246"
And a headsink at the RK3188.

Housing
After opening the housing, I know why it's "so heavy"... because of a metal plate in the cover

Rooten des Geräts

Hi,

haste du schon versucht, dass Gerät zu rooten? Habe nichts bei google gefunden.

Yes...

Greetz

It works...

Ja, ich habe es geschafft das Gerät zu rooten. Lade dir das Root-Tool hier herunter im post#3

http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?5359-Official-ROM-Android-4-2-2

Beim Ac8350 erstmal USB-Debugging einschalten unter Einstellungen Developper Option sowie USB -> Connect to PC aktivieren und mit Laptop/PC via Micro-USB-Kabel verbinden. Nach dem Entpacken des Tools am Laptop/PC führe erstmal AdbDriverInstaller.exe aus und vergewissere dich, dass Treiber installiert wird (Neustart!!). Danach TPSparkyRoot.bat ausführen und Anweisungen befolgen (warten, bestätigen und nicht abbrechen und keine Panik) und staunen.

[no_spam_for_me]

Thanks a lot!


First some android-settings to do:
Settings -> [DEVICE] USB -> Enable Connect to PC
Settings -> [PERSONAL] Security -> Enable Unknown Sources
Settings -> [SYSTEM] Developer options -> Enable USB debugging


Then some PC work:
Download actual USB drivers for windows for example at Tronsmart ("Class for rockusb device")
AND / OR
Download and install Moborobo (includes the "Android Composite ADB Interface")
AND
Download "TPSarky-VonDroid-Root" (includes ADB)


if you use "Class for rockusb device" and ADB works with it:
1. unplug all cables from device.
2. plug micro usb otg cable into device and into pc (nothing else)
3. press and hold little restore button on which is under device
4. plug in power cord (remember to still hold restore button) and you are in flash mod
5. on first time it may not work before driver are installed but later its working every time.
(THX lewy20041)

When the drivers are happy... run TPSparkyRoot.bat


Another HowTo/Way

Is it possible to flash the K-R42 Hybrid Firmware for this device?

http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?5957-K-R42-Hybrid-Firmware-%28HFW%29-1-1-0-by-lewy20041

http://linux-rockchip.info/mw/index.php?title=K-R42

[no_spam_for_me]

Good question, next question
I ask lewy...
But before I do any other thing with the box, I want to dump the hole stock-ROM and build up a flashable ROM (maybe the next days)...

[Gormar]

This is the same board as in K-R42.

I'm 100% sure that it has the same hardware that in KingNovel K-R42.
I also disasembled my box and found out that it is newer revision than tested and presented on geekbuying.com pages.
CH001 1329 TN-BX09_v2.1 2013/05/31 with "IMG M1206IG 1330" and glued aluminium heatsink on CPU.

Therefor Lewy20041 HFW with wasser's kernel will work in this device.

[Black]

Ok, thanks!

Don`t forget ask him for CWM and other kernels for this device.

[no_spam_for_me]

@Gormar
Nice to hear! Thank you very much!

@Black
Sure, you need another kernel (because actual "Screen Width DP : 1280" ) but at lewy's thread there are many kernels by wasser...
And CWM can you find here...

[Black]

Good news!

K-R42 Hybrid Firmware by lewy20041 (special thanks!!) was successfully flashed and tested on this device with ROM_Flash_Tool . Take the stable Version v1.2.0 Final 1080p (cwm+Root included) and NOT BETA (freezes, reboots). Read and follow the contructions on the first page to flash this firmware.

[Black]

Does anyone know an img file of stock rom so I can flash it back if there are problems?

[no_spam_for_me]

Not really the same, but nearly the same...
Because of that, I want to try to dump the existing stock-rom...

[Black]

Thanks.
K-R42 Hybrid Firmware is fine but it haves little buggies. Nova Launcher doesn`t work (Widgets), XBMC is not smooth etc.
I can wait for an alternative stable firmware.

Edit...I flashed K-R42 Hybrid Firmware 720P stable Version and it seems that is it!
Very fast, smooth and no bugs. And the CWM for K-R42 works, i flashed it over terminal (find on settings) mode. So I can make nandroid backups on external card. I am very satisfied and thanks all for this excellent work.

Ok,ok..I apoligize for my english.
