Does your CS968 have the name HTC_T018 20131216 V4 printed on the board inside? Do you see any sudden screen blackouts after all is working?

I am struggling with this issue and is not solved with any ROM I have tried.

Yes it is - CS968 HTC_T018 20131216 V4 main pcb
No , I'm not see any sudden screen blackouts. May be this is a hardware problem in VPU , not a firmware problem. Try to change power supply.

Picture of my CS918 V4 AP6210

This is my CS968. I think there is RK3188T, but not sure.
(My mistake in title. I have two TV-BOX - one CS968 and one CS918. Sorry)

[ghanashyaml]

This is my CS918. I think there is RK3188T, but not sure.

Yes, same board as mine except the # 0914, I have the # 5213. So I guess this is not a hardware problem.

I will try this ROM tonight with high hopes

Could you enable usb debug in your rom

@dracosc22679

I tried your rom but wasn't able to end the boot phase. At first, it keept on showing 4 penguins and rebooted, starting all over again. Then I pressed the reset button for about 5 seconds and it showed breefly the 4 penguins, then the android robot for about 1 minute and reboot, starting all over again.
I think it's related to my tv box as I flashed the stock firmware and the same happened. Could you build a version of your rom with usb debug enabled by default so that I could use adb logcat to see what's going on ? You can PM the link.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT:
dracosc22679, no need to create a new build with usb debug. I managed to boot the tv box. I don't know why but it only boots if I connect it with a PC (or other source of powered usb) in the OTG port. Does anyone know why ?

Thanks anyway.

Just thought I'd mention I have the HTC-T018-V4 20131216 as well and no problems at all

Anyone know of any Linux Roms that work with this board - so far I have tried this

and this

and they both brick the device

Here is video that I recorded with the blackout http://youtu.be/uwsTG0I5aZI

Which combination of ROM and kernel are you using? and what HDMI setting are you using e.g. 1080p @50 Hz?

Whats the number (one below 94V-0ML1) on your board? I think its the serial #.

Does someone can pm me the link for this rom?

Thanks

Yes I definately don't have that problem. I am using the rom from this thread - PM dracosc22679 if you don't have it. No other kernels or anything.
I have the same number on my board


I have used it at 1080p 60 and 50 and 720p 60 and 50 and not seen any problems yet.
My board has the mediatek chipset.

I would reblow the rom and try another HDMI cable if you haven't done already

Hi,

I have two problems:

main: I try two different SD cards (new one and from my smartphone) and in both cases "Damage Device" error apeared. Formatting not solve the issue.
secondary: I try login into Recovery Mode using "Quick Boot" app, but after robot with spinning hexaeder logo TV box login into Normal Mode.

Is it connected this ROM, or with my TV box?
