Alfawise Z28 Pro Smart TV Box A7 2/16GB Dual WiFi Gig Lan BT4

[chaplin]

So they lies because I got this and even in answers they told :It supports Bluetooth4.0 . !

[morrislkm]

How about the cannot power up issue after the TVBOX is being standby for a while, any firmware update to fix this ?

[segv]

Thank you, trebor, for the firmware links.

Has anyone managed to login to Android or to break into either the Rockchip or the U-Boot boot loader using the serial console?
I have only managed to get the boot loaders' log output but unfortunately I get no further output once the Android/Linux kernel starts booting.
I thought the baud rate might have changed but setserial says it is 1.5 Mbps as for the boot loaders.
The situation is the same with both the stock firmware and trebor's firmware.

I have also been unable to get Bluetooth working: it disables itself almost immediately.
Judging from dmesg there seems to be a conflict between BT and the serial console.
UPDATE: BT works if I unsolder my serial console. So there is clearly an interaction between them

I should be most grateful for any help.

Do you have the 2/8 or 2/16 version ?
only 2/16 Has BT

Are you sure ?

This box not output 5.1 sound. only stereo !

[Tomaj]

I found a solution to three problems.
1 - only brum sound on AV output (stereo output),
2 - freezing the box on alternative firmware,
3 - low quality wifi or bluetooth signal.

Check the dimensions of the jack plug and select the appropriate drill bit.
Open the casing and remove the motherboard - check that it works on this cable.
Enlarge the AV output hole.
Make sure your wifi and bluetooth antennas are not short circuited. Solder again if there is a short circuit.
My device overheated. The heatsink is very small and was badly glued.
Gently remove the heat sink from the processor. Remove the adhesive tape. For gluing, use a thermal adhesive, do not use adhesive tape. The processor is not flat and the tape is not covere on the processor. If you have - use a thicker heat sink.

What is the build number of the last original firmware?
My box says:
rk3338_box-userdebug 7.1.2 NHG47K eng.qinzhendong.20170920.154141 test-keys
So it's the last?

sorr)now working,good luck!

[exquisitus]

please help.
no computer with any usb cable sees this box. therefore no tool works. it's just not seen as a usb device. any suggestions?

[suppenkasper]

What's working and what's not with which FW? The conversation got a bit confused and did some try to use this Box with Rock64 or other Desktop-Images? It seems to be pretty similar to the Pine64 Board.

[sabuk97]

I have aquestion.
Who have Alfawise z28pro using with 4K TV?
Is The resolution really 4k? (mine is 1080p)
In Kodi looking about device i see resolution 1280x720, is that mean my videos are only 720p?

[mo123]

Yes, all the 4K and 1080p videos will be downscaled to 720p.
It will only play in 1080p or 4K if your device supports auto frame-rate in Kodi which it doesn't.
