What would be the best finless rom for a MK802III? I see some people here flashed UG802 finless roms, but the UG802 has a stock frequency of 1.2ghz instead of 1.6ghz for the MK802III. So that would cause it to be underclocked.

There are also overclocked UG802 firmwares:

http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?2632-NEW-UG802-2dark4u-Finless-custom-ROM-version-1-7-true-1080-and-overclock-AND-best-performance-ever!

But they have a clear warning:
Some will burn out your UG802 if you do not have a heatsink on the processor!
I don't know if this also applies to the MK802III as it already has a stock frequency of 1.6ghz. I can imagine that this kernel overclocks more than just the CPU, perhaps the GPU and/or RAM? So could it still cause the MK802III to overheat?

What is the stock GPU and RAM frequency for the MK802III actually?

[500ef]

What I can say is that MK802III works very fine with Finless 1.2 GHz ROM.

I dont think 1.6Ghz is really needed for normal usage.

[phjanderson]

The stock MK802III is sold to be 1.6ghz. Antutu CPU Master also shows 250mhz - 1.6ghz with "interactive" scaling (using the stock firmware). But, in reality mine never goes over 1.2ghz (trickster mod shows which frequencies are actually used). If I set both the min and max to 1.6ghz, it only moves up to 1.2ghz (even in "performance" scaling mode). There seems to be a hardlimit of 1.2ghz. So I suspect the 1.6ghz is only a marketing lie and the unit is actually only built for 1.2ghz

If this is true then the 1.2ghz finless firmware won't really underclock your MK802III.

Problem during flash

Hi,
I have to tried flash my MK802 III with Finlessrom 1.7 for UG802, but I can´t reboot to flash mode. I did everything as it says in the instructions (readme first file)- everything was OK. But if I click (point 9 in readme first file) to Reboot to Flash Mode, appeared error "Flash Mode failed". Do you have any ideas, what is wrong?

Have you installed the latest update from Rikomagic? sounds like it may not be rooted. I had the same problem, did a factory reste then installed the update and then had to use another computer as my laptop with Win 8 did not work. Good luck

I have firmware from Geekbuying (modified rikomagic firmware from 15/11/2012). This is 1080p firmware with root. I have tried to flash with laptop with Windows 7.

[patfrank]

No you need the newer update, 1/12/12(I think), check above or go to rikomagic.com and go to the downloads, it is a quick install and roots your MK. use these forums for more info. Then you can change the rom with the finless 1.7 system

Thanks,
I will try it.

Once it is rooted, you can download terminal emulator from the Play store.

Then type at prompts

su (This should give you the # prompt)
reboot bootloader (This will make the unit reboot into bootloader mode)

Then flash away.

Thanks all,
Finless rom works! But reboot app do nothing:-( and movies, that I was not able to play smoothly on rikomagic rom, doesn´t go smoothly too. Try anybody:

This piece of 2012 movie is full of lags. I don´t know, where the problem is, because other 1080p movies go fine and this movie is on PC or my HD player ok too.
