Custom ROM for supposed CS918

[lazordy]

Hi guys,

I have exactly the above box .. It stopped working few days ago and tried to flash it with the supposed to be the stock FW but, it turned to be for the AP6210 wifi chip .. Anyway after many many tries to flash the correct rom and kernel, something happened to my box ... I was able to connect it to my PC and to flash a rom.. But, when trying to boot it, it stucks at the boot process and the android man keep coming up then it will turn off.. Finally it's red LED is turning on for 5 sec then will turn off.. I'm unable to turn it on any more...

Can you guys help me with this ???

Haven't had chance to flash or backup yet mate. As regards hiding the bar you drag it up from the bottom. Or use 'hidebar' from app store which gives you true full screen.

I think I may have found a possible Kitkat firmware for the box, not sure if it will work though, have asked to find out

Any luck with the ROMs?

Great work! I'm finished work for a few days now so will backup & flash some roms tomorrow. If you send me a link to new kit kat I'll happily try it for you.

Someone claims to have 1080p working no problems so worth a read through.

That's great, may try myself soon so let us know how it goes mate

I did flash this rom. First of all, it's not rooted. it's looking nice but, LAN is the only working thing. No, remote control, Wifi and no BT for me.

Any idea how I can make my remote usable again?

Hey, I tried the 'stock' 4.4 firmware and wasn't the best for me (see below)

Hey, yep I tried flashing the KitKat ROM last night and had exactly the same problem. Couldn't get Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to work and the remote control no longer works either. 1080p was perfect and the ethernet was working fine but I would much prefer to have a more stable ROM with the majority of core functions working so I restored a back-up that I'd fortunately made (a 4.2.2 one) and everything seems to be back to normal. I'm pretty sure the remote doesn't work because I have a feeling the firmware is written for purely Android sticks not boxes and the box light never turned blue (the colour it should be when one) and always remained in the standby colour of red. Also if the USB was plugged in and I removed the power supply, the box remained on when it should have automatically powered off. I think the firmware needs to be edited for boxes not just sticks.


I didn't backup the SD card as it was empty but when I restored, the SD card no longer wants to mount. Apparently its a common problem, was wondering if anyone knew the solution for it?

Anyone else got this box that has a stable ROM working at 1080p?

That is superb mate, been searching for a 1080p ROM for ages, doesn't flash every 10 mins or so does it?

And I don't really mind, but is it a KitKat ROM or a Jelly Bean one? Downloading it ask we speak

Great thank you

Just wondering do you flash using the Batch Tool? Just wondering as I'd love to get it set up perfectly once and then never (hopefully) need to update it again

I used the Batch Tool and didn't have to go back and do anything about it again

Hey, been playing around with it for a few days now. Firstly, the already installed XBMC seems to crash after opening it for a second time of use? No matter how many times I reset the app it never seems to work? Not a big problem though as the standard XBMC works fine usually

For me 1080p still doesn't work? After every 10 mins or so I get a flash across the screen when running at 1080p 50 or 60. Never have a problem in 720p

Also, what app (if you are using one) are you using to hide the nav bar? I like XBMC auto starting when I boot my box and that is pretty easy (use an app called Startup Manager) to do however XBMC always runs first and then the nav bar disappears after. This causes the problem that XBMC is weird to use as it presumes the nav bar is still there? Not a major problem but any help is much appreciated
