[ROM] Unofficial OpenELEC for MK808B+ and MXQ

[rev6]

MXQ. 5.0.8.19 is working very good here. Thanks for the update

[jman177]

kszaq I think I broke my all black MXQ ($50) device :-(

It displays a red light & there the recovery OS is gone tried to use http://chinagadgetsreviews.com/how-t...n-minutes.html but that fails too any idea how to fix it?

(Not blaming you as it's always a risk we take when modifying firmware etc)

I think my main problem is I thought I had to use OpenELEC-Amlogic.HD18Q.arm-5.0.8.19-bootloader.zip on the Recovery Android interface via "apply update from external" which I think broke the device completely & the pin trick does not work anymore.

jman177 Flashing bootloader in recovery is the same what toothpick method does. Does your box display boot logo? If yes, you should try using USB Burning Tool to reflash Android firmware.

Hi,kszaq,

Thanks

Awsome, this keymap worked well on your HD18Q build thanks so much... The only thing left would be figuring out why I get WIFI with the MXQ build 5.0.8.19 doing modprobe 8189es. but on the HD18Q 5.0.8.19 there is no wifi? I guess like you said this would be a different kernel tree or something.

Wow! In the latest release, HDMI-CEC works really well. Finally, my MXQ is about to replace my RPi :-).

Thanks a lot!

Still one question: Is it possible to prevent OpenElec to shut down, even if the Power key of the remote control is pressed?

I was thinking the same. The latest stable release is great and a very good RPi 2 replacement.

HDMI-CEC has been working perfectly since 5.0.8.17

1. If you use your TV's USB to power the MK808B plus, this problem will solve itself....

2. If you look in your TV's CEC settings you can disable the Power-Saver\CEC settings but leave the rest. This worked on my Panasonic with Viera Link HDMI-CEC implementation.

jackmate I would suggest trying these 2 things (MXQ build):

• modifying initramfs to load 8723bs and not wifi_dummy module
• insert your own device tree into kernel image

pigbait If WiFi works for you in MXQ build after issuing a modprobe command, why not try putting it into autostart script?

[pigbait]

kszaq that's the problem, wifi works on MXQ build. But remote doesn't. If I flash HD18Q, remote works(with new keymap) but no wifi.

I searched the thread but I don't think anyone asked this: Can I install this on an usb stick (since the method mentioned in the official wiki says it's for sd-card/usb stick installation)? Thanks in advance.

The mk808b plus uses a Amlogic M805 chip, which uses the ARM v5 architecture. Unfortunately, the p2p streams addon only supports ARM v6 and v7.

shame , but what can we done, it is what it is
