[ROM] Unofficial OpenELEC for MK808B+ and MXQ

[fanni2]

Hi . sorry I asked here ,I have a box mxq v3_1 brick "mxq_s805 v3_1 20151230" . If you have stock firmware or backup NAND please give me the link
Thank you !

If could get twrp running on it then I would but it refused to boot

[fanni2]

If you can't select 50Hz it means that your box thinks your display is not capable of displaying 50Hz. This can't be overridden, unfortunately.

512MB of RAM used... seems like these board have f*cked up u-boot. Let's see if I can solve that somehow by playing with device tree. Again.

Try deleting recovery.img from SD card before using toothpick method.

Deleting the recovery.img worked a treat but kodi is now showing as having 512mb ram as you have said and also after adding my remote.config all of the remote works except the ok button any ideas?
By the way I installed 6.0.3.1

Let's try a new build, shall we?

6.95.2.2: https://github.com/kszaq/OpenELEC.tv/releases/6.95.2.2

fanni2 kiwi_man82 Please report if this build boots for you. If it does, it should use whole 1GB of RAM (only 796MB is reported in Kodi, that's how it should be).

pesh Try if this one boots for you.

mwp1 kostaman Please try a little bit improved CEC implementation: does it work for you fine after waking the box up from suspend?

Good stuff. Cheers kszaq. I'll try it in the morning once I get home and report back, unless fanni2 beats me to it 😂😂😂

Have flashed the new build to the nand but it just hangs on the mxq logo once installed.
SD card also refuses to boot just stays on mxq logo

Just want to point out that trying to boot from the sd card sem bricks the box as well after removing the sd the box refuses to boot this is for the V3_1 board

[fanni2]

kszaq i sent you a pm let me know what you think

[smilez]

Yes just stick the remote.config file onto the configs folder and then reboot the box remote should now work

Just checking though you do have the same remote that i posted a picture of though as that config file is for that one only

Have the exact same remote. But no working copy and paste it in the config folder and reboot it just like u said.

Same thing, device doesn't boot.

fanni2 bordiart kostaman As 6.95.2.2 I analysed factory firmware posted on this forum and I have another kernel version to test. Instructions as before:

• rename kernel.img on your SD card to something else, like kernel.img.bak
• download the new kernel and put on on SD card
• put SD card back to the box and test!

If it does not work, simply delete the newly downloaded kernel and rename the old one back to kernel.img.

Link to test kernel: http://s805.eu/test/6.95.2.2-m201d-test01/kernel.img

nigelg Thanks for sharing your observations.

1) I admit that "power off" may be unreliable in a few latest releases, I decided to bring back the old behaviour for my next builds. You'd still be able to force the box to "power off" via command line. This would also fix blue screen bug after powering off.
2) Yes, different button assignments are due to new CEC driver. Actually there are in line with OE builds for other devices.
3) That I never experienced. If I can't reproduce, I'm unlikely to fix, sorry.
4) Will look at that and fix.

kszaq Thanks for your reply. I am now running 6.95.2.2 on my MK808B Plus.

1) "Power off system" now seems to be fine. Don't know what you mean by the blue screen bug.
2) CEC seems fine so far.
3) I have had the audio problem once so far, so it's still there, but I fully understand that you can't fix it if you can't recreate it.
4) Ticker still doesn't work, but you haven't said that you fixed it so I expect you knew that!

Thanks.

I have tried build 6.95.2.2, and CEC is still not good. Sometimes it happens command buffering, sometimes it is not recognized by TV. After suspend, cec stopped working. I tried the test kernel, and cec didnt work at all.
Thanks.

With the settings i use for CEC . "6.95.2.1" is working perfectly. I dont use suspend. I dont like the TV to be powered ON or OFF with the box.
Using my TV remote the only benefit is i can Pause/Stop/Ffw/Rw/Navigate GUI Without bringing up OSD.
I can also say that BLUE LIGHT comes ON when i turn Off the box
And RED light comes on when i Turn ON the box. Basically the reverse of the Android OS.
I have POWER OFF/REBOOT/SUSPEND Working with this version.
