MK808B clones, how to identify them.

[TecKnight]

Thanks for the report, I will add your image to the post if you give me permission to do that. Then you use the Sunvel V2 clone Rom by Finless? Ir seems more similar to clone V1.
Thanks for your collaboration.

Yes, you have my full permission. Yes, I used Bob's Sunvel 1.6 ROM. I understand Bob now has a beta that is designed to work on several different MK802 models, including the SunVel ?
I am pretty certain that this is the original SunVel firmware:

Despite my device having exactly the same Mediatek WiFi and BT chipset as several other devices, my Bluetooth would only turn on with Bob's SunVel clone image and the image above.
WiFi worked fine, but not bluetooth.
One other thing. Although it is partially obscured on my image, the label on the board actually says:
SunVel 1808
Not 808 as I have seen posted.
The exact chips on the daughterboard are:
MT6622N - Bluetooth 3.0
MT5931SA - WIFI B/G/N

Leolas,
Thanks for pointing me to the right image for my Sunvel clone.
For the record, my SunVel clone does not have a heat sink at all for the processor.
Here is my SunVel sans Heat sink.

I haven't had any wifi or bluetooth issues with it either since installing Bob's Finless ROM.
Thanks, Bob !!

Wow! Thank you for this post!

Can I ask a favor? Can you post links to these posts you have made for the FAQ? e.g. post in the FAQ thread links to your informational posts you have made. I wont be able to keep track of these things later when I put the FAQ together.

Thanks,
Bob

So far as I know there are 3 versions of this stick (Let's hope the Chinese do not complicate the matter more and launch more). Each with its own ROM, if you use the ROM of a models in another one, usually it works but you will lose the functionality of wifi and BT, so please try to identify your device before flash any rom.


To recognize there is no other choice but to open it, (Do it careful, dont break the wifi antenna), there is not so much problem to open it, can be done easy.


Lets go with the first one, it is usually called in the Forums mk808b "original" or "genuine, it has wifi and BT chipset rk903. My device is this one.









This model also has a variant that also works with the same ROM:





ROMS:
Official stock one from geekbuying:
MK808B Geekbuying
Recommended, for me at least better than the stock one and added extras such as gamepads, some ethernet adapters, tweaks, etc:
Freaktab MK808B
More ROMS:
Armtvtech MK808B
In the last page pls ensure you choose Room for the "original" not "fake".


The second variant is known in many forums as mk808b "fake" or clone mk808b V1. Comes with MediaTek chipset for wifi and BT.




ROMs:
Stock rom:
Armtvteck mk808b clone v1 Stock rom
Made by Finless in freaktab, for me better than the stock one, it has tweaks and aditional modules like gamepads, etc... :
Freaktab clone V1 ROM



The 3º Version for now of this device is know how "clone V2" or "Sunvel V2 Clone" is very similar to the above and also uses a MediaTek chipset for wifi and BT (I am not sure of this), but the previous ROM device does not work fully.
Some people report feeding problems through the usb designed for that, having to feed them in some cases through the usb OTG:








ROMs disponibles:
Link official ROM:
mk808B clone V2
And the ROM that Bob made for us in this forum, in my opinion always better than the stock one :
Freaktab mk808b clone V2


All the info getting from: Freaktab; armtvtech and Vondroid.

If you have any question ask. If anyone can complete this post pls tell me, I only have the first stick so any help would be aprreciated by the others models owners.

Thanks to TecKnight, he said me that the pictures was changued about second and 3º clones now i think they are well .

And thanks to Zuberio too, he post a video in youtube openning the mk808B case :
