NEW - Lollipop - wasser firmware 3.0.6 for Minix Neo X7

[Pluto]

So, long shot here.... Was stagefright patched in the lollipop update? Curious to know. Can someone scan and let me know?

Anyways, thanks for the update Wasser, you made this box awesome from day 1!

Looks good, i noticed that it has a security patch level of 03/2016, which is more then fair enough i guess.

Thinking of installing it, when upgrading from 3.0.6 to future 3.0.7 would my data be lost?

Thanks

It may be lost but you can do a titanium backup.

Yes, the batch installer will wipe everything (except stuff on an external SD). With "Titanium Backup" and "ROM Settings Backup" you can get most of your apps&settings transferred to the new ROM.

Ah..but will there be a 3.07?

Hey Molle, if I flash the 1800 kernal do I lose any data? I'm using this ROM on a Ugoos UT2 and it's a little laggy and I'm thinking it might help.

No, you won't ... provided that you follow the correct procedure.

I use Windows 7 to do this. I don't know if Windows 10 can do it as I have never tried. So....

Download the finless ROM from HERE. Unzip it to a location of your choice. Delete the folders "Drivers" and "FinlessROM" you don't need them. Now you should have 6 items left in the "T428 4.4.2 Finless 2.0" folder.

Folder - Language
Folder - Log
File - config.cfg
File - config.ini
File - README FIRST.TXT
File - ROM_Flash_Tool_21.exe

You should have all the drivers installed on your PC so that when you connect your box the RKBatchTool.exe sees it. This is run just to confirm you have the drivers installed and they are working. You need to see that green box light up. If it does you're good to go with the ROM Flash Tool, so just close the tool if it identifies your device. If it doesn't you need to install the drivers and get them working so that it does.

Once you have it working open the ROM Flash Tool (I use ROM_Flash_Tool_21.exe).
You need to be on the "Download Image" tab.
Untick ALL the boxes.
Item #4 should be "KERNEL" at the end of that line (to the right of the path to the kernel) there is a blank box. Click inside it and load your desired kernel image using the pop up window.
Make sure after it loads it is correct and make sure the tick mark is showing.

At this point I don't know which of the 4 buttons to click Run, Switch, LowerFormat or Clear. *I* think it's Run but until someone who KNOWS (Molle maybe?) don't even think about doing anything because you might end up with a brick. We don't want that. So when someone with more knowledge than I comes along and gives us the answer I will edit this post and we'll move on. If I'm completely wrong I'll just edit this post and delete it all.

I wouldn't. It's meant for the v2 series of Wasser ROMs (i.e. KitKat).

Oke thx can you tell me which kernel I need and how to do it
and many thx fore the support
greetings

[flhthemi]

henk32211, I'm pretty much a n00b like you are but I believe the only kernel available from wasser for this ROM is THIS one and it might not help your flicker issue but might be worth a try.

[Molle]

I'm pretty sure the extra kernel only adds higher operating frequencies for the CPU, RAM and GPU. Most likely it won't help with any flickering issues. I have never experienced any, so YMMV.

[flhthemi]

So Molle should I click the RUN button?

Also would henk32211 maybe fix his issue by starting all over and flashing the ROM again?
