NEW - MK908 Finless 1.8 ROM

[german_psycho]

Does anyone know how to get Hulu running?
Since some weeks it's possible to use the Hulu app on phones without subscribing to Hulu Plus. On my phone (I9300, Samsung Galaxy S3) it works without problems. Now I tried to install it on the MK908 which the Play Store shows as I9300, too, but whenever I login to the Hulu app, it just offers me to subscribe to Hulu Plus.

I think it's not enough for the Hulu app to see the device as I9300, but something other has to be changed, but what? Is the device recognized as a tablet by the screensize set somewhere in the config? I think Hulu isn't free on tablets.. Any suggestions?

Edit: Never mind. I think the free Hulu is limited to one device per account. So I just created a new account and everything runs fine.

Re: NEW - MK908 Finless 1.8 ROM

This rom is most likely suitable for your stick, please before flashing check the imprint on the pcb board, it should state netxeon MK908v[x] where x could be 1,3 or 5 afaik. The reference to the rk3066 is most likely due to similar partition layout and thus reuse of the parameter file.

Turns out the stick is already running Finless 1.7

How would I go about upgrading to 1.8?

There is no way to upgrade, you have to do a clean flash

Ok thanks. Will do

First of all thanks for a great work.

I have one question so far. Is there any possibility to use bluetooth apple magic mouse with this rom?

Kind regards

Please give me guidance

I have a MK908v3 AP6210 and I've been running finless 1.8 for some time. It was running well enough. Yesterday while feeling cocky I thought "Why leave well enough alone?" so I tried the KK4.4.2 roms out here on the forum.

I flashed T428 KitKat Finless ROM 2.0 with no success, everything completed fine, it just would not work. My blue LED light stopped working. Then I flashed ap6210_kitkat_finless20_beta2 the CX-919 rom and thought I had something because my computer recognized the device but it too would not display. When I tried to reflash 1.8 the kernel, boot, recovery, and system images would not download and would fail.

Is anyone able to throw me a bone and help be restore my MK908v3?

use kitkat flash tool to erase nand and then flash with flashtool of this rom.

[CChris]

Success!

use kitkat flash tool to erase nand and then flash with flashtool of this rom.

The flashrom tool was the same AndroidTool 2.1 in the T428 KK and finless 1.8 rom. I tried it anyway and it did not work. However, my computer crashed and I believe it dumped/reloaded one of the drivers after reboot; then the finless 1.8 rom flash was successful! I guess a reboot was in order. Thanks for your assistance.

I'm guessing there will be no lollipop for the MK908, pity.

Unfortunately there wont...

a bit of helpt

First - many thanks to Finless for his effort.
I am comming from finless 1.6 and it s a great improvement - wifi better and stability but I encounter 2 problems 0 maybe somebody help:
1. Youtube , Viral and other apps for video playing skips (jumps seconds forward or back) - any solution to this?
2. I cannot play playlists in youtube and viral. It plays the first tune but the next one keeps loading (the circle...). What I observed is that if I am not logged with the google user on viral, playlists will work. As soon as I log in, it will stop playing - to me it looks like an "ad blocker" tipe of problem but I didn't found anything related. With the same google account youtube plays playlists well on the smartphone or computer so I am very sure that is not a youtube config problem.
Any ideeas?
P.S. In 1.6 it played playlists without any problem. It skipped from time to time tough.

Thanks in advance

Hi guys.
Need my brand new Mk809iii Rk3188 Rtl8723bs up running.
Any idea if this rom would work on my stick?
Thank's in advance....

Sorry, just realised this rom's not compatible with my stick.

[ChrisS]

Ok, as usual I got away from this for months and now need to clarify I know what the heck I'm doing before I destroy the poor stick.

My stick on the board says "MK908 V3.0 2013.05.13" and I would like desperately to use it as a media player without all the flickering. So I want to use MK908_4.2.2_Finless_1.8.zip. I want to carefully follow the instructions in the README FIRST.TXT file since I haven't mucked with it yet and need to install the drivers. Then I need to decide if I absolutely have to have 1080p output or can live with 720p, and choose other parameters to determine which ROM I want to flash.

Did I miss anything?

That's correct. Really pretty easy overall. The updated instructions/info is in the first post of this thread. The instructions are easy enough to follow I thought.

I'm running this Finless 1.8 on 3 of these distributed around the house, 1 Tronsmart branded, 2 unbranded. 2 with v3 board, 1 with v5 board. Streams everything off my NAS, does XBMC great (haven't tried SPMC yet), all the standard streaming apps (Netflix, Comedy Central, Hulu), etc.

The only thing it doesn't do for me is stream my HD channels off the HDHomeRun Prime using the View app. :-( It won't use the HW decoding for MPEG2, apparently for licensing issues or something like that. I hear the RK3288 chip devices will, and perhaps the AMLogic 802 will. Don't know about the AllWinner A80 (one of Bob's picks) but still waiting to see the future of that device. I am using a 1G ethernet connector (of course slowed to USB2 speeds but that's plenty fast enough). It's the software decompression that's the issue. Been happy with these, while I'm figuring out where to go from here to accommodate all that and the HDHomeRun View app my only not-working piece to my puzzle.

Good luck.
