Yeah, WiFi is working. Overall the device seems to be faster.

It is Jelly 4.2.2 (At least thats what it says it is).

Running great so far but a Finless Rom would be more than awesome

flashing ok, but don't work. don't start

[kimdecentb13]

Did you test the Firmware ? Is wifi working with B13 too ?

And is it really Firmware 4.2.2 ?

I hope Bob makes a firmware out of this new Firmware.

Hi Finless,

sorry to bother you again. Today i got a email from the MK812 makers:

So they fixed the Firmware Bug (?) that lead to a score around 7500 and now we can reach 92XX Antut Points.

Could you please make a Finless 1.7 ROM with the new B13/MK812 Firmware ?

Here is another Host (Mediafire) and a smaller File Size due to compression (7zip):

Again, thanks for your work Bob. You are awesome and should get paid for doing this.

Greetings.

Question 2:
When I'm doing the Flashing operation (reset button etc), do I need to have the B13 dongle connected to a TV using the HDMI-OUT?

Possible! Some stick require this and some do not. All I can say is try it.

BRICKED B13 - HOW Force this model to activate the MASK ROM MODE

Thank you for your reply,
First I thought that it was an AV-out problem, but its a bigger problem.

Mine B13 dongle actually came to me already BRICKED, nothing works. I can't get any image or sound from the HDMI-out neither from the AV-OUT, I tried the Reset Button to flash the device connecting it to the PC, but the PC never even recognizes the device (Windows never says it that it found anything) I did everything like I should (I think) I pressed the reset button (keept it pressed and then connected the usb cable to the pc, nothing happens).

The circuit board seems fine, I don't see anything BURNED! But all the dongle ever does is turn ON its BLUE LED.

Does anyone know how can I force the B13 to activate the MASK ROM MODE?

I tried the 8 and 9 pin trick from the "Unbrick or fix NAND on the MK808" tutorial, but no luck.

I also tried the reset button operation, in 3 diferent different USB ports, also in another computer (my laptop), and nothing!

Question 2:
When I'm doing the Flashing operation (reset button etc), do I need to have the B13 dongle connected to a TV using the HDMI-OUT?

Please help me.
Thank you

AV cables can vary. Please see the pin-out of the AV cable used on the MX3 or B13 here: https://www.engel.com/av-cable-for-mx3/

Olá,Hello SOLIVEIRA,this rom that you posted is for the B13 dongle with external antenna? I have one B13 dongle but the Av-out does not work. Did you had also this problem? Do you think if I flash it with this rom I solve my problem? Obrigado Thank you

This was a LOW cheap trick

Engel MX3

Hello all,

I hope you don't mind me trying to post a sales pitch on this thread. I think you will find that it is quite relevant to the discussion.

We are selling the same hardware as what is being discussed in this thread. Here is the product: Engel MX3, on sale for $49.95. On the other hand, here is our competitor's listing, for $69.99. Quite a difference in price, wouldn't you say? Oh, and we are located in the United States; they are in Hong Kong.

I've tested Bob's firmware discussed in this thread, and it works fine (both 720p and 1080p firmwares that he made available). I've tested:

• Adobe Flash in the default browser
• Wi-Fi
• Video Camera
• Built in microphone
• sample playback with Netflix app from Google Play; Finless 1080p looks a bit better in this app.

In any case, here is the interesting news: We are selling brand new Engel MX3 with Bob's Finless 1.7 firmware pre-installed at no extra cost.

Again, you can find this product at: www.engel.com/mx3. Let me know if you have any questions.

AV-OUT PROBLEM with B13 dongle

Olá,Hello SOLIVEIRA,this rom that you posted is for the B13 dongle with external antenna? I have one B13 dongle but the Av-out does not work. Did you had also this problem? Do you think if I flash it with this rom I solve my problem? Obrigado Thank you

The best Antutu score I have had with 1.7 Finless ROM was around 7950 after reboot. But the scores are normally between 7100 to 7200.
I ask myself the same question about the score of the measy U2C. In my case it seems that the SD card read and write scores are not very good.

At this moment I have this for a 7501 score:

RAM: 1222
CPU integer: 1349
CPU Float: 1167
2D graphics: 988
3D graphics: 1959
Database IO: 555
SD card Write: 57
SD card read: 204

Here is the link for the 4.2.1 stock rooted firmware from the S21D:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/bnz78ffxmhfkw4w/%5BFirmware%5DMK812-2013.03.06-Android-4.2.1-with-Antenna.img

Everything was working with this version, unless I have forgot to see something, inclusive the Av-Out.

Cheers

PS. It was quite hard, to me too, to install the drivers, I can't even say what I have made different to make it work, since I have tried so many times. But I have never changed the cable, for me the cable works just fine.

[CTZen]

Yes.
The read me states whats in it.

Bob

Bob, Can you build android 4.2.2 version for this minipc?

best regards!

[Finless]

Yes.

Hi Bob

Is the updated libstagefright.so incluede in this one ?

Thank you

[bloodgnome]

I doubt the 8192 and 8188 kernel modules will be the same. But you guys can try it yourself.


Flash the Measy ROM.

Get ES File explorer and set it up for root and mount system RW
Copy the KO module into /system/lib/modules
set the permissions the same as other KO files in there.
As I recall:
set all boxes for read
set the first (top) box for write
leave everything else unchecked.

Now go get Android Terminal Emulator
run it and type
su
answer yes to the root access pop up
now type
insmod /system/lib/modules/8192.ko or whatever the module name is.

If you get no errors it means the module injected into the kernel.

Now try to turn on wifi.

If that does not work, try the wlan.ko and rkwifi modules you found. I would rename the existing modules .old and then copy in the new modules. Again remember to set permissions!

Bob

It seems that it doesn't work

I tried to do that but wifi doesn't work. It slightly changed though. While before WiFi wouldn't turn on at all (switch gone back to off immediatly) now it kinda turns on for a couple of seconds and then goes back to off.

Bluetooth doesn't work either and shows the old behavor. Is there a different .KO File for Bluetooth ?

Maybe someone else could test (Maybe I did something wrong) or better: a linux-expert could make the right .KO files according to the Realtek drivers & stuff.
