MK808B KitKat kernel [Working WiFi & BT]

[AlexisKattan]

Which WiFi chipset is this designed to work for? The newer RTL8723? Or the older WiFi chipset on the original mk808b?

Here is an updated kernel with the power indicator LED enabled:

The wifi bug is still present

Have you tried to compile bcmhd, rkwifi driver as a module instead of build-in to the kernel?
I tried to do that but wifi doesn't load, maybe need to insmod bcmhd.ko & rkwifi.ko at boottime?
Also tried to use a newer wifi driver, but can't turn wifi on with that in Android settings.

If you read the thread, it's for Broadcom RK903 wifi.

I'll try that. Could you share the link to the newer wifi drivers? I've compared the driver sources in 3.0.8 (omagamoon), 3.0.36 (SDK) and 3.0.36 (KitKat) and they all seem to use the same version.

It looks like Karel has a working KitKat kernel for Minix Neo X5 (RK903 WiFi). He is using the same linux-rockchip sources that we do. I've sent him a pm but he hasn't replied yet.

This is exactly how I did install the images on my Mk808b. Two penguins is all I got... I will try again next week with the new kernel.

Have you tried running LowerFormat (Download Image) or EraseFlash (Upgrade Firmware) before flashing the KitKat firmware? Also, make sure that in Download Image mode you select the new KitKat loader (e.g. RK30xxLoader(L)_V2.13.bin). Loaders from previous Android ROMs won't be able to boot KitKat.

Just got a MK808b with an RTL-8723 chipset - is this kernel the best one to run on my device?

It's not for your device, it's for original MK808B.

Hi,

yes and yes.

[BalintBanyasz]

Hi,

yes and yes.

That is really strange

So you and totor54 weren't able to boot KitKat. Did you buy your MK808B from Geekbuying? If so, when?

For all: if you've tested the kernel with a KitKat ROM on your original MK808B with RK903 WiFi/BT please leave a feedback.

[tecfan69]

Firstly I rooted the U2 rom. Then I flashed the rom with your 1080p kernel and it was booting. Even picuntu was running after reflash recovery partition.

I also flashed the 720p but no boot. Since then I get download errors with rkFlashtool.

So i guess the nand of my MK808B 903 is gone forever but I guess it was not a bad rom but a 100 times flashed nand...
