To Install the drivers
1. If flashing for the first time, you need to install the drivers with DriverInstall.exe

- Before plugging the power adapter into the device, hold a paperclip into the reset hole of the device, keep holding it while connecting the power
You will hear a 'click sound' that Windows has now recognized the USB device.
- It will ask to install the drivers or install it automatically.

Flashing the ROM
1. Select 'Upgrade Firmware' in AndroidTool v2.35(Second tab)
2. Click on the 'Firmware' button to load the firmware(update.img that you extracted from the 7zip compressed file)
3. Click 'EraseFlash' to wipe your device, wait for it to finish.
4. Click 'Upgrade' to flash the new firmware.
5. Wait about 2 minutes after flashing and before unplugging device for firmware to settle.
6. Disconnect from PC and connect to TV.

thanks!

Please give feedback.
I see you wanted to get a rooted ROM, this should work.
The ROM will also work on other devices just like the UGOOS ROM.

zidoo x6 is included to other devices?

zidoo x6 is included to other devices?

Yes.
It should work on Zidoo devices.
Only thing not working might be different IR Remote, but use an airmouse. Airmouses can work on any device and makes it much easier to navigate.
Power Off button might not shut off device. For this you can flash Zidoo resource.img seperately afterwards if needed.

Thanks a lot. I am downloading the rom now.I 'll post my feedback after testing.

hi mo123,

your rom looks nice, can you do a version with this kernel.img and resource.img for tronsmart r68 gigabit?

Installed the rom. Is it possible to get the kodi from the rom as apk. I updated to Kodi Jarvis not happy with that

Wait for my new ROM.
The chipset can get very hot, it's normal.

thanks for the reply.
waiting for your next rom,

[mikekuel25]

thanks mo123 for your rom and backup tool. the rom works great on my zidoo x6. however ethernet and remote don't work.

but I use wifi and usb wireless keyboard/mouse so it's all good.

is there a way you can add support for x6 remote in your next version?

thanks again

[mo123]

Any small fixes/updates that are easy to do to include in next ROM?
I will upload new ROM later today if everything goes smooth.
It will also have RK Kodi 16 final and work well, I tested several videos and settings.
Also have 4K Kodi, correct temperature display in Kodi, auto frame-rate switching, 3D etc.
Will also be dual-boot.

There are just some small fixes for RK3368 still to be done by Rockchip and then RK3368 platform will be very stable.
