    Will this recovery work on Amlogic's latest S805 devices like MXQ and EM5?

      Thanks for your help
      Not related to this device, this is data/media/0. data/media was a transition made by Google that cause some problems.
      if [ $up.post.type = $type.two.lazy.to_use_google ] || [ $up.post.type = $type.silly_question ];
      then mv $user.contact.up.post /.trash; set response($response.type = ignore);
      $user.up.post.ignore_in_future = true; fi;

        One question though. My old Reboot App is not working. What is the suggested app for Reboot to Recovery?

        Any apk should work, as long you have root.

          This (TWRP) should work with s805 device's, just none of this thread is for the s805. Recovery's are specific to devices.

            Just an FYI on Tronsmart Vega S89-H

            Tronsmart Vega S89-H running Tronsmart supplied - S89-H SDcard_108K4_140811 ROM and Tronsmart supplied xbmc-13.2-Gotham-4K-video-2160P-output.apk.

            Backed up complete unit with Titanium Backup to external SD and also used XBMC Backup addon to backup XBMC to external SD. (just in case)

            Loaded the BEELink S82B recovery.img and META-INF folder to root of 16GB. *** Note that there are a bunch of misc folders, apks and text files also in the root of the external SD at the same time.

            RE-inserted the SD card to S89-H, plugged power back in... held down reset button inside AV port. Pushed Power button, count to five, release the reset button.

            Unit booted to the TWRP screen. *** Note - TWRP window was smaller than TV 720P screen. Could not fix that.

            Did a full backup to external SD.

            Wiped everything *** except internal memory and internal SD.

            Restored backup from external SD.

            Rebooted unit.

            Perfect restore. Nothing missing. Nothing malfunctioned.



            Now to try Finless 2.0

              Good to hear that's working as expected for you.

              Resolution is 1024x600, like stated in OP, that's the reason i made the themes.
              if [ $up.post.type = $type.two.lazy.to_use_google ] || [ $up.post.type = $type.silly_question ];
              then mv $user.contact.up.post /.trash; set response($response.type = ignore);
              $user.up.post.ignore_in_future = true; fi;

                Posted a new version in OP. Version 109k4 brought some changes in the kernel and nand modules that cause problems in the data/internal SD partition.

                TWRP is now on 2.8.0.0, i also updated the themes.

                        I flashed TWRP Matricom Gbox2 on an MX and now it doesnt boot at all!
                        Just black screen. Any way to fix it?

                          Flash back stock rom ?

                          I'm sorry for that, but I don't have a MX box. Daemonium tested that image and it was working ok on his box. He also said to test it first from SDcard due to the models variations.

                            It is probably bricked - same thing happened to mine (& another user) - I did post about it earlier in the thread just to warn people, obviously you missed it
