MK808B clones, how to identify them.

[Fabiop]

New clone

flash Bobs imito mx1/2 v2.1 rom you will have wireless but no bluetooth

I have the same unit with the same problem...
I managed to install the finless 1.7a and 2.0 for the imito mx1 as afgok suggested and the wifi worked. No luck with the BT...

RE: New Clone?
yep, thats what I've got too. Didnt save the original ROM [like an idiot], decided to try a new setup since the original did not always boot successfully - went from Google TV to the Android screen back to Google TV, etc.

now Im stuck with a bricked device.
I have tried all of finless' ROMs 1.6-> 2.1 for original, clone 1 and 2 - no luck.
The nearest I get is with the 2.1 original (and 1.7 original) which install but leaves me without BT and Wifi. Others get stuck with two Penguins top left at boot.

Chip set is MT5931SA, MT6622N
Came with Android 4.2


Help! Think I have tried every rom I could find or so it seems ....

Re: MK808B clones, how to identify them.

no luck so far. They are out of stock - seems they are a reseller of some sort.

And you didn't make a backup of the stock rom, sorry but I can't help

Cpntact the seller and ask for the stock rom.

New Clone?

Bought a "MK808B" from amazon.co.uk

Board does not match anything which has been posted in this thread so far.

Wifi/bluetooth are Mediatek.

Tried flashing Finless 1.7 Clone V1 and Finless 1.7 Sunvel. Now all I have is 2 Linux Penguins on boot.

Hey Guys

I bought a Hossen brand from Amazon and got it today. Does not look like a real MK808B. Check out the picture.

I will be toying with it and update the results. If anyone has seen this structure before, please let me know!

Thanks

[alrozen]

what device? Need firmware!!

put the terminal.
At the command in a terminal dmesg and iwconfig - says "not found"
put a lot of piercings, but Wi-Fi does not have not worked.
Here is a photo ... can anyone tell me what else?
Help me find a working firmware Wi-Fi!

Help help help...

I am desperatly seeking for solution... I flashed my Mk808B after it wouldn't start. Sadly I didn't do any backup. Now after trying every firmware I can find, it starts but it is impossible to get the wifi and bluetooth running.
From the pictures I've seen there is no one that looks really like mine.

It has only one antenna and no heatsink.


The wifi-chip is Mediatek MT5931 and the Bluetooth-chip is Mediatek MT6622, so from what I read I should flash it with the Sunvell clone #1 firmware. But with no success.
([VonDroid.com]-[VonDroid.com]-ROM STOCK MK808B CLONE #1.zip)
I´ve also tried the clone #2 firmware, the original firmware, finless all firmwares and the cusom firmwares.
The only one I havn't try yet is the most recent ones from this week, but they shouldn't work due to the Mediatek chips...

Anyone have an idea???

Thankful for replies.

You are right, in this way you can check if the mk808b is the "original". Can't difference the clones. And allways if you are in your stock rom. If you installed a custom before this way don't work

leolas

OK, i get it.

Read somewhere the wifi mac id can help. is that correct?

Re: MK808B clones, how to identify them.

Hi Guys,
I think there is another way to find out if your mk808b is original or clone.
1.install terminal emulator from playstore and open it
2.type su (you must be rooted)
3. type dmesg
From the output scroll down and look for the wifi entries and see if it is rk903 or something else
There are many entries so keep looking to end of the output.

I cannot confirm if this is the conclusive way because i cannot test it as i do not own a clone mk808b.

Those clone owners can you test it and feedback.

Right, I am using finless 1.7c but from physical point if view if you look at mine's pic it only has one antenna

Re: MK808B clones, how to identify them.

hey leolas...i just realized that compared to other mk808's (nonB) i only have one antenna - is that normal or am i missing something?

If you have rk901 wifi chipset you will have no problems with roms and kernels for the mk808.
