Help Rare version of MK809III

[rikitaly]

sorry, my mistake MKMutual, it's MTK, not RTK, take a look on it, but is doesn't work for me anyway...

[MKMutual]

Well, it says MK809III with MKT (mediatek) -chip, alas the problem is it links to a firmware with 8188 (8188 = Realtek) WiFi-chip.

It seems like even the Chinese are confused.

[Mains75]

I wonder: if anybody has this brand new device (maybe our sellers have got other identical Mk809III), how can he make a backup of stock firmware and/ or kernel?

[rikitaly]

dear Mains75 I'm going to receive from the seller another mk809III but I don't know if it will have the mediatek chip or the ap6210 built inside.

As soon as I will receive it I will check and inform you all... In the meantime, if someone can suggest me a SURE guide to backup the entire ROM (kernel and everything inside), please tell me...
If this is the way I will backup the rom, and upload it here for everybody... Anyway it's ridicolous to have these kind of difficulties to find out a stock rom for a common device...

[Mains75]

Thankyou!!
But the problem remains: how to make backup of the stock rom?
Maybe we have to create a specific thread for that...

Android tool v2.1 will do complete stock backup

dear d33 are you sure? can you post a link in which we can confirm this function? and do you mean "android all in one tool v2.1"?

I tried that tool, maybe it works for smartphones but not for tv sticks.
It does not recognize the device, even with mtk android drivers installed.
I tried also to turn on "connect to pc" and "debug usb". No way

recovery?

Maybe the only way to backup an entire rom is to install a modified recovery, like clockwork for example... I doubt on the way to make it works because normally you manage the mod recovery usin the hardware keys on the smartphones or on the tablets... The last versions works with touchscreen but i cannot imagine a way to manage it with a tv key... Maybe with an usb keyboard or something like that.

Rikitaly; I doubt you'll get one with Mediatek. It's a rare device as stated; we're just unlucky. I hope you do though!

[MKMutual]

SOLUTION! Guys, you can thank me all you want; This firmware is ROOTED with MKT-drivers. WiFi and Bluetooth work and no flickering (50hz 1080P tested).

!!!SOLVED!!!!

Thanks to everyone who participated in solving this annoying issue. The firmware is NOT native 1080P, but everything works (Wifi/Bluetooth) and is rooted.

Perhaps Neomode can extract the kernel and make a custom firmware for us with MKT-Wifi. For now, just enjoy your working device.

Best regards,
MKMutual.

[rikitaly]

thank you!!!

thank you MKMutual, I'm now downloading the file and will try later the dongle.
Maybe it's possible to use RKAndroid tool (neomade rom installation tool) to installa a new rom mantaining the working kernel? do you think it will be possible?!?!

Thank you d33 as well, as soon as the new key arrive, I'll try to make a rom backup and I'll upload it to see if anyone will work on it to find a solution and make poossible to install any other custom rom with working wifi and bt

keep in contact to upgrade you all regarding my experiments.... Hope to be useful for someone like you have been for me
THANK YOU EVERYBODY GUYS!

IT WORKS!! IT WOOORKSSS!!!!!!!!!!


Cant believe that!!!
I was talking with my seller to send back my device...
But you solved our problem!!! How did you do that??

[rikitaly]

working!!!

Working smoothly perfect!
Wifi and bt all is well but
I don't understand how MKMutual has tested 1080p. Not available for my device...

Do anyone think it will be possible to flash a custom rom keeping the kernel and so the working bt and wifi?

THANK YOU EVERYBODY
Keep in contact for any other upgrade
