Minix X5 4.2.2 ROM with HLS streaming

Let's hope so.

The links to the 720p and 1080p firmware are updated in the first post.
Have fun with it!

I also added a firmware for the X5 MINI.

Thanks a million Karel.

I used the 720p as you can also see in the filename "X5_mini_4.2.2_HLS_720p". I can make a 1080p, but I think the X5/X5mini is best used for 720p.

Minix X5 4.2.2 ROM with HLS streaming

I updated the first post. I have made the HLS firmware compatible with the X5 X5mini and G4. Enjoy!

Hey karel, after firmware download and formatting /data, /cache, mounting sdcard and rooting, system always boots into recovery...

I restart it and it keeps booting to recovery.

I've tried to flash both 720 and 1080 kernel versions...

It's a no go for me...

That's weird. Have you also tried installing the rom with the Finless Flash Tool using the "HLS firmware package for X5 X5mini G4" (post nr1)? (Because I tested that today on my own X5.)

Does scooter2014 have any problems?

Downloading...

I'll report after finished!

Neither 1080p or 720p... each one reboot into recovery after formatting /data and /cache and booting...

Back to kasty... again

Read the test notes thats normal thing just exit and reboot .! Read my test notes will help you. Post 37.

Of course i tested rebooting after recovery, several times. It was a no go for me. Have you tested new roms flashing?

Strange thing is that i was expecting cwm and got stock recovery? Using both methods...

I changed from CWM to stock recovery, because stock recovery formats the internal sdcard automatically when booted for the 1st time.

In my case after formatting the nand and flashing the firmware it starts recovery to format data and cache partitions. After that it starts the ROM and installs xbmc and airpin.

Mine restarts to stock recovery after formatting /data and /cache and stays there... Might be a parameter issue?

I have the same exact issue on G4.

Option 1: Did you select the right parameter file using finless flash tool?
The parameter files in the package are from the latest stock roms.

Option 2: You could try to flash the latest stock rom (if that doesn't work (read: reboot to recovery) then you and I know it is not an issue I created).

Option 3: As I read on freaktab it is best to ERASE the nand FIRST with the parameter file of the rom that is/was installed. (In your case Kasty rom). There are differences between Kasty and Stock parameter.

Kasty: 0x00140000@0x0091c000(system),-@0x00a5c000(user)
Stock: 0x00100000@0x0091C000(system),-@0x00A3C000(user)

After Erase NAND with the Kasty parameter file. Then select the X5 stock parameter file and flash without erasing again. It could now be the case that some of the system and user partition isn't erased correctly.

Option 4: If the stock rom does work then after installation you only have to flash the system.img using the finless flash tool with the right parameter file.

Option 5: Walk through these steps

I would start with option 3 and if that doesn't work go for option 2 and 4.

[redglory]

Option 2 went ok. I've flashed official stock rom and booted ok.

Than went to option 4 and used your parameter )which is exactly the stock rom parameter) and flashed system_1080p.img.

Got same problem... only boot to recovery...

Tried system_720p.img same thing.

Then i just unpacked stock rom, used 1.22 loader instead on 1.34 and chose every file except system.

I erased nand, flashed system_1080p.img and voila. It booted ok!

1st problem, my launcher was all messed up. Bar on the right side vertically, search on the left... all messed up! I let it install everything and booted. Same thing...

Finally i chose system_720p.img and flashed and all went as expected...

now my only problem... i can pair my headset,it says paired but i don't get to connect it... I can't access its options (phone audio and media audio won't show) because it isn't connected...

So long story short... I got to flash this rom but same BT headset problems... Getting tired...

What were the files patched in this system.img? Can i try to patch original rom and see if i get BT to work?

Thanks
