TWRP for Amlogic devices.

[abdul_pt]

I too have the same problem with the new Matricom Q2. I tried all of the images for the S812 on page 1 and none of them work. All just bypass and boot as normal.

I have attached the recovery image that comes with the new box.

It appears to be an AMLOGIC Meson8. Meson chip version = RevA (1D:A - 0:74E). This is the memory map from last_kmsg: (I think this is the pertinent part you would need - if I remember correctly). I would do this myself but don't have the experience I'm afraid.

Hoping you can help.

Let me know if you need any other info on the Q2 box.

If something is not right, upload the ouput of the commands 'cat /proc/partitions' and 'ls -l -R /dev/block'

Hi. Its most likely bricked. As you where told in other threads use the method of unbrick posted by JD in the knowledge section for your device. If you use that and fail post in that Thread. That board has been recovered via that method already.

Guest boots into recovery fine, but the resolution makes it that I cannot test it. See attached pic to see what I am talking about. Is there a way I can change the resolution? Thank you again for this.

Abdul,

Thanks for your efforts on building a TWRP for the Q2. I tried it and it does not work.

But, I found one of your 2.8.7.0 recoveries that seems to work perfect.. My apologies but just got it working since there were a few challenges as explained below. I have tested most of the normal functionality and it all functioned as expected.

This is the recovery that worked in the OP:

TWRP 2.8.7.0 T8PLUS

If you still want me to continue testing the TWRP that you built let me know and I will run those commands you asked for.

I refer you to the link below where I also presented my need for a TWRP for the Q2 as well. It explains how I got to this working TWRP version:

Prahjister you are da man!

I found an S812 based TWRP that works !

The TWRP 2.8.7.0 T8PLUS works for the Q2 box.

BUT, you have to copy it to your SD CARD using an Android based file manager. Copying it to the SD CARD using Windows does not work!!

I have a 250G hard drive attached to my Matricom Q2 and used FTP from my Windows PC to copy all of
the possible TWRP files to the hard drive.

I then used ES File Explorer to copy it to my SD Card as recovery.img. And poof - it worked!
Tested all of the normal functionality and it all works. Now perfectly happy with my Matricom Q2 box.

Cheers

I am also sending along a little something to thank-you for your efforts.

Cheers

I have been looking for this post by JD in the knowledge section for 2 weeks and the JD unbrick cant seem to find it.

hey guys i have a trouble with twrp for my m8s. it is a clone device. I tried to rename twrp n200c without emmc to recovery.img and put into sd card with pin hole method but it does not boot into twrp, only to stock one. This is a working firmware for my device hopefully you guys can identify this device and make a twrp for it. Thanks

Is there a TWRP that works with MyGica ATV 1900AC. The box is an Amlogic S812. Any custom ROM images

http://mygicasupport.com/viewforum.php?f=143. Just stock.

[jm se]

MyGica is useless for putting out anything useful to their user community. If anyone has any TWRP and custom ROM for the 1900AC, there is a whole community waiting to get out from under their crappy software
