[griffar]

Dead Trigger works fine after this fix : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1792531

Sorry it's just for the wireless controller :-(

It works for my wired xbox controller too thx!!! There are 2 files i think one is 4 wireless and one for wired pad. Maybe Bob could include both into next rom release?
I will try gta 3 now.

Bug report

Hi Bob,
Well done and I like this FW very much as it safe my MK808 from brick.

However, I found a minor bug in explorer, the file in SD or flash cannot move/copy to external USB via OTG cable. Pls fix in 1.7!

Have a good day.

use second way to go into flash mode (press hardware reset button - plug miniUSB from computer into OTG port - release button), after that when both windows and RomFlashTool successfully recognize your device - press "Erase NAND" and continue following step-by-step guide as well.

And of course before start flashing you should install correct driver.

hi,
thanks for your response. Actually i used alternate method to get my mk808 detected in my pc...and installed the driver..after successful driver installation, i tried to hit the erase button. thats where i am getting this error. looks like i need to correct my settings in mk808 to recognize it as mass storage device..... i am not seeing this setting anywhere

any idea?

thanks for your help

There are two "Settings" menus/icons on these sticks!

On my UG802 (the menus are the same as on the MK808) the two things that I've done to connect stick to PC are:

1. Click on the main settings icon (black square/blue border and what looks like slider buttons on it) then click on USB and tick connect to PC....this setting is also available under the "System" tab/USB settings in the yellow/white cog settings icon (described below)

2. To change between "Media device" and "Mass Storage" go to all your apps (from home screen click on six small white squares in top right corner) then click on the settings icon with two cogs (one yellow one white). Click on "Device" tab (looks like a TV !) then click on USB computer connection and you get the choice to change between Media device/Mass Storage.

When flashing a ROM USB debugging (settings/developer options in blue/black settings icon and in two cogs settings it's system tab and scroll down to USB debugging!) should be off and any external SD card should be removed.

Hope it helps!

First time experience w flashing the rom

Hi Finless,

Thanks for posting this up for all of us MK808 users. This was my experience with installing the rom and the instructions.

Took me almost 2 hours to figure out how to get it into flash mode. For some reason it couldn't do so automatically so went out to find a paper clip...

Paper clip in followed by usb to OTG port on the side and windows went BONG and recognised the USB device so I followed instructions to get to find the driver from the files extracted. This was when things went abit haywire.. failed to install RK30 driver so I just restarted PC and rebooted MK808 as per instructions.

Still no "Found RKAndroid MASS Storage USB" and though to try the paper clip thing once again. This time the driver that got picked up caused the device to be recognised as a HID keyboard . Panic and started surfing the web for answers. Did a system restore to the point before installing drivers as i could not get win XP to stop recognising it as a keyboard.

Eventually I came across this website for MK808 usb drivers and d/led them to give it ago (wasn't sure MK808 had bricked so just had to give it a go). http://www.gadgetreactor.com/2012/12...are-1080p.html

USB drivers from the site were here: http://uploading.com/files/get/f21e6...kusbDriver.rar

Success after that as I followed with the paperclip but choosing to pick up the file from this new d/led folder.

Thanks again i though i might share just in case other had this prob. Going to try out skype on my webcam..

Skype doesn't work with Logitech C525

Is anyone else having problems with skype? it calls through but drops out as soon as it connects

I'm using a logitech C525 webcam after installing the new rom.

Solved Freezing Problem

My first upgrade to 1.5a was flawless and I used it for long periods of time. I just upgraded to 1.6 and am finding that after about 1 minute after the launcher screen appears, the ROM will either freeze or sometimes it reboots. It does not feel very hot (just slightly warm). I have tried setting the screen resolution down to a lower setting. I have also reflashed (erased and the flashed) a second time. Any suggestions will be welcome.

Based on the symptoms I tried directing a fan onto the ROM, and that seemed to solve the problem. I then used ROM Toolbox to go in and set the CPU speed to a max of 1.2GHz (it was a bit over 1.6GHz). Now it is working fine without the fan. It seems that the ROM may work fine for weeks and a heat problem creeps in later. So maybe always worth trying as a diagnosis step.

Flass Mode Faild

There are two "Settings" menus/icons on these sticks!

On my UG802 (the menus are the same as on the MK808) the two things that I've done to connect stick to PC are:

1. Click on the main settings icon (black square/blue border and what looks like slider buttons on it) then click on USB and tick connect to PC....this setting is also available under the "System" tab/USB settings in the yellow/white cog settings icon (described below)

2. To change between "Media device" and "Mass Storage" go to all your apps (from home screen click on six small white squares in top right corner) then click on the settings icon with two cogs (one yellow one white). Click on "Device" tab (looks like a TV !) then click on USB computer connection and you get the choice to change between Media device/Mass Storage.

When flashing a ROM USB debugging (settings/developer options in blue/black settings icon and in two cogs settings it's system tab and scroll down to USB debugging!) should be off and any external SD card should be removed.

Hope it helps!

Hi,
Thanks for your response. I tried somehow get the MK808 detected as Mass strorage device in my PC. Now, When I press the "Reboot to Flash Mode", am getting this error.

"Flass Mode Faild"

Any idea?
Here is a error screen: https://picasaweb.google.com/1084694...at=directlink#

Does anyone had an issue that MK808 not working from AC adapter (led is on but no video) and works perfect while powered from computer usb?

Changed 3 adapters (stock 5V 2A and two other 5V 1A) but nothing changed.

[fratello]

@Anto : Read starting from page #10 for similar issue ...
@ Ffoxin : "Stock 5V 2A" it's a crap, in many cases ... Use adapter with 5 volts and REAL 2 Ampers !

Audio and video out of sync?

Anyone else have problem with audio/video sync? I have serious sync problem with Irokotv on the MK808 with Finless 1.6 however the same app on Nexus 7 and same network have no such problem. Any suggestions?

I don't know why you are getting the "Flash Mode failed" prompt.

If it was me, I would re-start both the PC and the "stick" and try again closely following the readme and making sure the correct version of the drivers are installed.

I see from the readme that there are two ways to get into flash mode (ffoxin suggested pressing the hardware reset button etc.. in his reply to your first post). You may want to try this method with Flash Tool.exe open on your PC as you connect your stick to see if this bounces it into flash mode.

Also, the readme notes some USB issues:

Notes:
If you got errors using the PC flash tool, then you have some kind of USB problem.
Some things to check:
1) Make sure you connect to a real USB port from the PC. NOT a USB hub or maybe even front panel USB ports!
2) Some older BIOS have a setting called "high speed USB". You may have to go into the BIOS and turn that off.
That was a crappy implementation of USB 3.0 that is not reliable.
3) Try connecting to USB 2.0 ports instead of 3.0 if you have them.
4) Try unplugging any other USB devices like removable disks, hubs, media readers, etc.
5) All else fails, try another PC.

...Someone in an earlier post also had success when they changed the USB cable!

Good luck!
