Beelink x5II need help.

[doken1313]

Hello. I've got 2 questions.
1st) How can I realize which device do I have so I can download the appropriate firmware (I mean which one of those firmwares here should I download : http://www.bee-link.com/en/article_cat.php?id=22)

2nd) Is it possible to install a linux OS on my device and maybe a dual boot system with linux and android?

Any help will be appreciated!

if you have the round box then s82. Then if you have 16GB storage then s82_102k4_6330 else with 8GB storage you should load s82_102k4_6210.

No dual boot that I know of but there is certainly devs that boot linux to the console and XBMC on linux (non android).

First of all thanks for your quick answer.

This is my box :



If it helps!! And it says from the bottom side : 8gb

So I guess I am going for the s82_102k4_6210 ?

This forum is about these :

Don't load the FW here without knowing what you are doing - you might brick it.
Anybody else that can help Doken to right forum?

A a matter of fact ist not even the same CPU. Its a Rockchip RK3188 where as this form handles the Amlogic S802. Completely different... so don't even think of flashing the roms on this forum!

Thanks a lot guys for all your info. I found the original rom that this box was sent to me here : http://www.bee-link.com/en/article.php?id=102 (same site) (Firmware：update_X5II_301j2301_0317 (for X5II v3.0)
For some reason max resolution when watching movies on xbmc is 1280x672. I realized that the reason for the 672 is the android bar at the bottom of the screen, but I can't figure out why it can't play 1080p movies.
On my android settings resolution 1920x1080 is supported and enabled. I guess this is an xbmc issue.

As you say, you have a x5II, why don't you use the x5II FW at the link you wrote?

http://www.bee-link.com/en/article_cat.php?id=22

=> http://www.bee-link.com/en/article.php?id=102
==> and there you have to know, which version of the box do you have... 2.0 OR 3.0...

Because with this firmware the max resolution that my box can get inside xbmc is 1280x672 pixels...

Sorry, a little misunderstanding... the question means, why do you don't use the given download-link at your link not why you need a FW
Maybe you will find an answer at the forum link I give to you (but maybe it is only a real 720p box and not a real 1080p box???)

When I am at my Android Settings I can change the resolution to 1920x1080 (x60 Hz or 50 Hz). But when I am trying to reproduce a video inside of a software like xbmc, then in its settings the maximum resolution that I can get is 1280x672. Now I realize that the 672p (and not the 720p ) is because of the android bar at the bottom of my screen, but I can't understand why I do not have the option to change it to something smaller or bigger.
So I am asking for a custom rom to flash into my box or a linux OS cause I assume (and from what I've read) this box can reproduce Full HD videos.

I guess this is an xbmc issue...

P.S I have already downloaded and installed the Firmware from the download link that you say.

I think you will better discuss these thinks at the link I also post:

Maybe your boy only does a 1080p overlay which means it is in true/real a 720p...
There exist a web page to check it, but I don't remember the link...

Remark：
1. Integration of the new version of XBMC

http://aidymp.weebly.com/latest-news...x5-ii-firmware

Beyond XBMC is a customised version of XBMC which has been tweaked for RK3188 chipsets. I mentioned it in a previous post. It appears that Beelink 'borrowed' it without asking permission of the author! He was quite surprised when he found out!!

So, the only change to fw.. Was beyond-xbmc

Re: Beelink x5II need help.

Can this be moved to the rk3188 forums?
