      I suspect the question you need to ask is 1G(ig), or 2?
      The TWRP versions you've seen here are ALL for the 2G(ig) Versions of the Amlogicg S802.
      So those People like myself with an M82 1G(ig) MXIII are SOL here, as we only have half the RAM of the S82, or the S89.

        I really don't know which device is similar.

        Can you just tell me which is similar in omnirom github?

        Thanks!!
        I don't think there is an official device.

I need to root the receiver before installing TWPR. I can only find a guide for rooting Amlogic S802s.



          Is it safe to use?
          You don't need root to boot to recovery, you can boot recovery from external SD pressing and holding the reset button on biit up.

            There's no reset button. I can get into recovery but pressing the menu button repeatedly but the receiver isn't rooted so I cannot install twrk. I added a dummy rom.zip to the SD card root.

              There's not OTG port on the receiver. Will it work with a USB to USB cable?

                I don't know your box but with the most other amlogic boxes you don't have to install TWRP. You just boot it directly from sdcard instead of the recovery installed on NAND-Flash. So you don't need root to backup your rom with TWRP.
                Also I think root has only an effect in the firmware itself and has nothing to do with installing recovery.

                  Mobie Dazzle on Amlogic S805.

                  When I boot into recovery I get :

                  Android system recovery <3e>
                  KOT49H.20150113 test-keys

                  reboot system now
                  apply update from ADB
                  apply update from EXT > update from sdcard / update from udisk
                  apply update from cache
                  wipe data/factory reset
                  wipe cache partition

                  applying update from sdcard fails (recovery.img is in the root dir) :

                  no such file or dir

                    Are you trying to install TWRP? Sure you use the right one for your box?
                    The ones posted in OP are just for S802 devices and will not work.

                    As I said with my box I only have to have the TWRP recovery.img in root of sdcard and boot into it with reset button. So you don't have to install TWRP and to overwrite original. If something goes wrong you can still boot into (original) NAND recovery.

                    And "apply update from EXT" is only working for zip not for img-files.

                          The Reset Switch is hidden behind the AV Jack, you'll need to use a Plastic Q-tip end to hit it.

                          The OTG Port is the Third Micro USB Port. The kind you'd find on most Phones. It should also be labeled as such.

                          The only major difference that I've found is the amount of RAM/ROM e.g. 2Gigs of RAM over the 1Gig of RAM on some MXIII Boxes. This difference in the Partition layout may be enough to brick such Devices if One isn't careful. i.e. installing S82 (2 Gig) Firmware on a M82 (1 Gig) Box for example.

                          Again the Recoveries Posted on this Thread are for the 2 Gig Boxes ONLY!
                          They will sadly not on 1 Gig Devices S802 CPU or not...

                              place the unpacked Recovery image File on your SD Card, first and test each of em out.
                              I only have a 1G Unit so basicly none of them are valid as far as I'm concerned.

                              That said I suspect that the ENY8 One is likely to be the most generic, as the MINIX versions seem to be more bent to those Devices.

                                This will probably be my last build for the s82b device, i will push it to be built throw the official channel, i will make a new thread when it's available.

                                NEW FEATURES
                                • Auto scale, it should work on any display

                                • more


                                This image should work on "Compatible with S82/S82B/S82H+Ap6210/Ap6330 and MXIII(1G&2G DDR)+AP6181/AP6210/AP6330--->All IN ONE" like it says on the official thread
