Why?

actually i have read almost any post in all forum,but that doesnt mean that i dont have the right to post something .and to gine my share,after a lotttt of reading ,its a new clone. It has the expected rk3066 chips and a Broadcom AP6210 wifi/BT chipset with single antenna, making it similar to the a revision (sometimes called v6) of the Rikomagic MK802IIIS.The only rom so far one that works is the Rikomagic (http://www.rikomagic.com/en/download..._1.html).After searcing many other forums i found a german dude that made a version of finless 2.1 for this device.
(http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-cus...wifi-chip.html)
i installed finless.wifi works,bt works sometime.its rooted,but i doest seen to recognize my rc12 remote control as the original did.
i will try when i have the time also the (T005).also i found another post in here giving the original rom(https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=4d0cb...3EFB7FB!105).i havent tryed if it really the original.
so seems my reading really paid off.thanks a lot all friends in the forum,for those solutions.

It is not an original... the original uses the RK903 chipset for the wifi/bluetooth just as the original post describes. In fact, since it isn't like the original using the same components... I'd call it a fake and not a clone ( a clone would be the same as an original )

In my post just before yours... I quoted a post with a link to the newer ROM that is rooted for the device you have. It also has a link to another users post which talks a little about this device. If there is a compatible CMW version... I haven't seen it yet but I wasn't looking either so you may want to search a little more and actually read some posts instead of just asking before you have researched it

but on mine the usb connectors are a yellowish metal and have a heat sink. As for custom rom which I wouldn't mine, I did have the seller send me the stock rom> which wasn't the stock rom because it was rooted version and when I got my box it wasnt rooted at the time until I flashed it with what the seller sent me.

R-BOX MK808B clone using AP6210 WiFi chipset

This post just gathers the info I found here about a MK808B clone/fake/revision using a RK3066 with a AP6210 WiFi chipset together in one location... perhaps the OP can be updated to include this one ( the 4th or more clone ) as well so everyone doesn't have to read the whole thread to find it.

First I'll quote the post of pics/thumbnails posted by andip71 ... My device is identical with one exception, mine has Toshiba memory instead of Hynix.

Hi all,

referring to my thread:

http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?7100-MK808B-with-R-Box-boot-logo-on-4-2-2

finally I also opened the device and this is what I got.

Somebody ever seen that?

The following quote has the link to the ROM for it... it's R-Box branded with JB 4.22. The ROM that is linked is already rooted but doesn't include a superuser app... You may also want to edit the build.prop file to spoof a Samsung or other to allow more apps in Play Store to be available... this ROM version is one version newer than what came on my unit I just got November 24, 2013...

New Update: My seller gave me a new link.
The AP6210 chipset will substitute the RK903 in future because of better wifi stability, he told me. Maybe one day we get a custom FW for this new clone...
This FW works for Wifi and Bluetooth and has the same kernel but a new build number,
it ends with ".170924 test keys":
https://www.dropbox.com/s/1glfmhuj0g...30828_V1.0.rar

FYI... I did try Bob Finless's MK808b v2.1 ROM when I was attempting a recovery on the device... WiFi doesn't work as typical of the clones... I didn't test BT since I wasn't going to use the ROM after finding out it was incorrect for the device.

Hi I bought this cozyswan mk808b from amazon last week...worked real good but last night It got on "android"...tried again 5 mins later "android"...left it over night and it hasnt fixed itself so can you guys help me out?

I tried many Firmware, and my Mk808b (in exactness as on your picture) worked only with these
1. Zero Z2c (B2-version)
2. Neomode mk802iiis_neotv_cr_2_0_20130601
3. Rikomagic Mk802iiis Android 4.2 update by chinagadgetsreviews.blogspot.ro

All ather -- crushed

Flash this on your device

https://mega.co.nz/#!6IkSHDyC!MbqUvy...PLcyGXW0qaablI

So ... I have tested pretty much.

With the original stock ROM "everything" worked fine. WLAN was amazingly fast (full 16kbit), but installing Playstore-Apps was partially impossible due to the unknown device.

I made a backup using an update.zip file. That worked fine obviously. I haven't tested re-flashing yet. I got the following files with this backup:

boot.img (16 mb)
data.img (1.5 gb)
kernel.img (16 mb)
misc.img (4 mb)
recovery.img (16 mb)
system.img (1.0 gb)

Then I followed Finless' readme step by step and installed his 2.1 ROM for the B-model with 1080p kernel. That worked fine too, but wifi is somehow broken. I can see networks around me, but only a few and connecting to my router is not possible anymore. At first it says "excellent" and while trying to connect "not in range".

I screenshoted the original stock rom system infos:

Android version:
4.2.2

Kernel version:
3.0.36+
rjh_V_402j2 #62
Mon Jun 17 10:41:13 CST 2013

Build number:
mk808b_v405j2
2013-06-17 10:41:36

I don't know what to do. The original ROM is useless because of Playstore limitations (device incompatible to some/many apps). The 2.1 ROM doesn't work (I need WiFi). Should I try 2.1 with 720p kernel. Or should I try 1.7 with 1080p kernel? Or should I try a clone ROM and which one?

Thanks for your help!

-edit-

Oh, and I tried to tether my WLAN from my Galaxy S2 phone over bluetooth. The pairing worked, the connection sharing too, but there was still no internet at the mk808b.

Hi

Did you try a finless rom on it ? Cause i dont know if witch version is compatibel with this device any one let me know witch finless rom is for this device



This one is MEDIATEK WiFi solution, but I got some RT chipset too and they mount same antenna. Factory is going to change MEDIATEK to RT series again. MK908 never changed.

Also as I said before, now all of them comes with a new launcher, a rubbish launcher in my oppinion. This is why I recommend to flash ZERO Devices firmware or Finless if available.[/QUOTE]

[Frakir]

Whre can i find the z2c firmware to download it?

May be there?

Where ca i download the firmware z2c

Whre can i find the z2c firmware to download it?

I just got 7pcs MK808, you can see the new antenna and also the MEDIATEK WiFi chip.

Finless ROM will not work, I think he still did not work over this version:




I just uploaded ZERO Devices Z2C A2 firmware and it was ok:



If you don't like the new launcher you can flash Z2C A2 firmware, at least until Bob make a new ROM for this MEDIATEK chipset.

I need your help :\

I've bought a MK808B from Amazon.co.uk last week, from Afunta, but i just realized it was a clone after a flashed finless 2.1 for the original MK808B. It booted up just fine and i could surf through the UI for a liitle bit but then it freezes and i have to manualy reboot.
I've tried other rom's but it does exactly the same! It is fine for like 10sec but then it freezes and all the screen goes green x) And if i try to click the navbar it instantly freezes too :\

I dont mind to get back to the original ROM if someone could give it to me and i dont mind to loose bluetooth either :\ I just want to get my device running normal again :\
