Beelink S82/S82H/M8/MXIII & Tronsmart S89/S89H - Finless 2.0 ROM

[mginster]

Just go to advanced and other all the normal android settings are still there.

Do you mean advanced in the mbox settings? That brings me to the android settings which is still missing a ton of options and there is no further advanced there...

Easy way to update. Boot up box click on update icon in program files. Make sure sd card in click update then select the finless2.0. Zip click update your done will install no issues.

Worked this time. I think the microSD card wasn't formatted properly. I've gone and flashed the wrong rom though, I've got no bluetooth now. Guess I'll find the right rom now. I assumed this one would work on my 2GB MXiii, but apparently not.

Yes, you can... I use it for https://adfreetime.com/

Check this tutorial, is for Wifi but is the same thing for the ethernet connection: https://adfreetime.com/get-started/android/

You're right, was really tired when setting things up and missed it.

Is there a way on this ROM to specify a custom DNS entry on the ethernet connection? If not (I haven't found one) can we please add that functionality to the next revision of the ROM?

Custom DNS on Ethernet

Is there a way on this ROM to specify a custom DNS entry on the ethernet connection? If not (I haven't found one) can we please add that functionality to the next revision of the ROM?

Thanks, I'll give that a go right now. I really want to try Finless's ROM.

I decided to try this on my MXiii. I currently have the latest stock firmware installed.

There are a few problems.

The readme says:

1) Copy all the files from this ZIP onto the SDcard you should have:
factory_update_param.aml
s82_s89_finless20.zip
recovery.img

There's no recovery.img included.

There's a recovery.img with other roms, but not in this zip. Are they compatible with each other?

I'm getting a little ahead of myself here though, because when trying to update the box using the recovery, it's unable to find the files. It can't mount the microSD card. I've tried it with a USB drive as well, but neither are found. I can see them and browse them when the OS is loaded, but it just can't see them in recovery. It tries to find the USB drive because I can see its light flash. It just never finds it.

I updated to the latest stock rom via USB Burning Tool, using a .img update, I just can't get the recovery to mount any external drives.

Is there any way to hack this rom to open up all android settings? I feel I am missing a lot because of MBOX?

recovery.img not in zip

Hi,
I thought i would give this a go and started following the instructions but I cannot find recovery.img in the zip file so cannot add it to my SD Card. Is this no longer required?
Thanks
