Re: Minix Neo X7-mini Quickshot v2 Rom by The Nitro Team

Hi you guys.

I'm new here, and i'm writting this because i recently bought the wonderfull Minix Neo X7, after searching for a custom firmware i reading a lot of reviews from others users, i've installed the Quickshot V2 rom on my box.
Let me say, that you guys (Nitro Team) have made a stuning job and a great rom. I'm using it almost 1 week now, but i'm having some problems with it.

When i'm the Store (google play store), sometimes the box reboots itself and other it shutdown completly, i need to press the power button on the box to power one again.
And this kind of strange symtoms already happen when i'm navigating the web, i'm using the Chrome browser.

Someone have already this problems, and how they can be resolve.
Another thing, i am anxious to see what you guys will do in next rom (Quick V3)...

Thanks.

Hi Guys

Can anyone tell me if I can try this ROM on a friend's Jesurun MX device ?
Spec seem to be the same and they even look alike.

Thanks!

Link to the device

if the device is not exactly the same (different wifi chipset/bt chipset, etc) it will not work.
if you want to try, do it at your own risk.

Hi guys,

First post here and already it is to ask for some help.

I got a Minix Neo X7 mini this week and I want to install this ROM.
I started the process by Erasing IDB and trying to install the firmware but during the process of installation I got an error saying that the Download of something failed (I can't remember what and I already closed the app so I don't think there's a log where I can see that)

I've tried two methods already:
- The first time I used the cwm method by putting the zip file on the device, rebooting into recovery and then proceed to install. Everything went fine with just 1 thing to note - I can't use the device since it won't boot and just stays still on the sreen with "Minix" written on it and a Android doll. It won't get passed that.
- The second time I tried the method of installing it from the PC. Since I have a Mac I've been using a VM with windows XP.
I installed the drivers and started RKAndroid Tool, the device got recognized and so I proceeded to erase the IDB. Just after that, and since I had no errors erasing the IDB, I clicked on the install button, got a few steps into the process and the I got an error message saying that the download of some component failed.
Since then, I've been unable to make RKAndroid recognize the device, boot into recovery or anything else.
When I disconnect the device and then connect it again I apparently get the computer to detect it since it asks me to which computer I want to connect the device to - OSX or the Windows machine inside the VM (I always choose to connect to the VM) - but still RKA won't detect the device.

Given this, I'm in dire need of your help to get it to work again.
I'm putting the log here in the hope that someone can make sense of it.

I've already tried a few methods that had work for some people on the "normal" X7 and every single time I just can't make anything of it.

Can anyone help me please? How can I get it to work again, even if it's for the stock firmware? None of the tools recognize the minix anymore.

well, since your device is already dead what i'll propose now won't hurt.
look for a computer with Windows xp, forget about VM at this moment. Look here at freaktab for the short nand pins method and apply it.
Be sure the nand is the same.

I think I'll try the method described in here (http://minixforums.com/threads/solve...37/#post-44404) first, the one described by Neil Whelchel

Hello!

first than all, thank you for your excellent work.

regretfully, I'm writing because I need a bit of assistance.

I ended up with a boot loop after installing.. but I had issues.

I currently only can enter CWM recovery after pressing the reset button for 2-3 secs after I plug in the power cord of x7-mini; the files for installation are inside the x7-mini but the system somehow can't see them (file too big.. above 300 MB, same as quickshotv2 rom). Fortunately I have a backup,

I managed when it was on stock rom, to
- root the minix
- install cwm
- reboot into recovery
- take a backup of the system as it was before attempting to push via 'adb push'

I copied the files for installing via USB-OTG mount for running from CWM, but the recovery can't see them, but my computer can perfectly see the files (win7 x64, used moborobo to root and install cwm after I had no success with the RKAndroidTool).

via adb push I managed to get cwm-recovery to install the rom via sideload but after rebooting is stuck in boot loop

Any ideas/ways to either:
- complete install of Quickshot
- go back to the backup as it was before... so I can try again.

- maybe do I have to copy files back to PC, fully re-partition the storage mem of the x7-mini, and then try to push via sideload?
I was never able to use the rockchip program though
now.. if there is a way to get it to work with the x7-mini in CWM-recovery, it would be nice to know.


thank you in advance.

flash again, when the process ends don't touch anything, wait for 15min and after that you can move the box elsewhere and try it.
