[ROM Download] Official Android 4.4 KitKat Firmware For RK3188T TV BOX and TV Sticks

[Ploggy]

Thanks guys for the help I'll do what you suggested and see what happens
And just to be sure finless t428 rom is compatible with the Mk908?

Thanks

They are all compatible. Your kernel is what has your WiFi and Bluetooth support.

Ah ok thanks for the help mate (learning as I go) lol

Thanks

So I just flashed finless' t428 rom with your kernal and now my stick wont power on (no blue light) help

Thanks mate for the advice, I have to admit I broke the cardinal rule and didn't read this entire thread through but I skim it and saw D33 post link's in a few of his posts on here but wasn't sure if they fit my particular Android stick and didn't want to brick or something :P
I originally bought my stick for Movies/Emulation and while I'm happy with the Movie part I'm finding Emulators like Retroarch run quite sluggish on my stick.

Btw are you using any added cooling mods with your current setup? I dont want to go overboard with the overclocking settings, just enough to get Retroarch running as it should

Thanks again.

You haven't broken any rules, friend and I'm not judge here. May be Bob/Finless is.
I've just tried to tell you about huge pile of information concerning "T" chips OCing.
My device is little different from your and has small heatsink installed by factory. I don't use any additional cooling.
I tried to test 1800/798/800 kernel and measured temperature with IR thermometer. Temperature wasn't higher than 50C during AnTuTu(it's kind of extremal loading). Please pay your attention that high CPU clock isn't too important in compare to GPU and DDR clocks. I'm sure you'll be happy with 1608/798/800 for Movies/Emulation purpose and without any risk to fry your chip.

Also note some units dislike DDR over clock altogether and will not boot (my a928 - returned)

Thanks man, if I manage to get my stick working again that will be the settings I'll use

When you over clock monitor temperature and do an endless CPU stress test followed by a few benchmarks. I recommend antutu and 3dmark as that should test both DDR and GPU. I can't remember what CPU stress test I use but I let it run an hour and watched it close so I could unplug once unstable. I don't think these rk socs have a thermal shut off.

You're right. It is known that different "T" chip has different leakage level. But this problem can be caused by crappy RAM chips and weak PS too.

Bootloader mode then flash 1600/stock/stock and see if it boots. Always slowly increase your over clock one step at a time, start with GPU then DDR last.

It was micron ram, which I'm a huge fan of, so I'm blaming the SoC.

Iv'e managed to get my stick back to finless 1.8 and now boots again.
Those where the settings I used (1600/stock/stock) and it didn't boot?

Could I use finless' 1.8 boot/misc/loader/recovery and system.img and just use your overclock kernal?

Thanks

My device has micron RAM too. Probably my SoC is a little bit more lucky
But it is kind of strange because my leakage level lines are identical to your ones
<4>[ 0.723363] DVFS MSG: core: dvfs_adjust_table_lmtvolt get leakage_level = 2
<4>[ 0.723427] DVFS MSG: aclk_gpu: dvfs_adjust_table_lmtvolt get leakage_level = 2

No. Those kernels have to be used with a finless kitkat release. Try 2.07 kernel.
