Lollipop - Wasser Firmware for Beelink R89

[torbvea]

Does anyone else encounter audio dropouts using HDMI PT with v3.0.5? This was not present in v3.0.4a.

I Flashed the 3.0.4a (3.0.5 not working for me) on my tronsmart orion r28 and the IR remote doesn't work, is there something i can do in order for this to work?

After fully flashed the Wasser 3.0.4a, You need flash resource+kernel_tronsmart_r28_wasser304a.7z using the AndroidTool

I think you are missing to hit in TV Mode item the PAL or NTSC option; you must to hit any of these options to get the signal cut through HDMI and the video signal goes to TV out port; if you don't hit PAL or NTSC, only selecting TV in OUTPUT MODE is not enoguh; you need at that moment to see a black screen having the R-89 connected on HDMI; you can check immediately through RCA input of the TV that you will have the video signal on it; or just disconnect your box and go to the old TV with only RCA input; whilst you do not connect again the HDMI cable you will have your signal going thru TV out port.
By default the video signal in this rom is going to the HDMI port and there is not an automatic detection of the TV Out Port, but when you have the video signal going to the TV out port the setting is preserved or saved until you connect again the HDMI cable which switch automatically the video signal again to the HDMI and cut the TV Out video signal.
The TV out quality here is of much better quality that what you can get with v3.0.4a and the screen scale feature works perfectly good here. You can give another try on your second R89 that you still have in v3.0.5. Good luck.

The HDMI TV and the normal TV are not in the same room...if I switch to TVOut i do get a black screen on the hdmi but when i unplug and go over to the other tv i get a no signal over tvout.

I will try to go blind and select tvout without hdmi and switch to pal and then to go over to the other room...hope it works.

Thanks for the tips.

Greetings.

Hi, sorry if its a noobs question,
I Flashed the 3.0.4a (3.0.5 not working for me) on my tronsmart orion r28 and the IR remote doesn't work, is there something i can do in order for this to work?
Currently using the UT3_3.0.4_patch_wasser_3.0.3 rom and the remote works, still haven't checked kodi or video, but some game there are not running smoothly.

I will appreciate if you can help me with this.

About TV-Out:
It doesn't work for me. When I change to TVout, unplug and connect to the TV i have to reboot and after the Reboot HDMI seems to be active again. Maybe the setting isn't saved like it was with 3.0.4a.

3.0.5 Rolling back to back to 3.0.4a problems with sound pulled up already, stitching only where there is such 3.0.4a https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5AhIO_kqHg

TV Out port and function are working on wasser v3.0.5; I had tested and it´s Ok, just you need to switch manually when be in HDMI to TV and select then PAL or NTSC; unplug HDMI cable and PLUG the RCA TVout cable;the screen scale option works fine here in v3.05.


edit: Yes, after you confirm it´s working fine for you, I had decided to give a try to the most recent package: XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk + xposed-v83-sdk22-arm.zip, It´s working fine. I had installed the zip file previously flashing the CWM recovery from RKcrewtablets. This is the greater news for the Lollipop roms for our RK3288 - R89.

About Xposed:
Yes, flashing the latest v83 Xposed with TWRP from crewtablets works fine. Finally Youtube Adaway and all the other Xposed goodies

There is one bug though: Tvout is not working. I get a "no video signal" booting on my old bedroom tv. So for that r89 i had to switch back to 3.0.4a.

Thank you so much wasser. Finally xposed is working yay and the clear all button is back. Great and fast Rom.

Using another r89 with hdmi in the living room 3.0.5 is a joy.... and xposed is awesome.

Hi wasser, thanks for your efforts to evolve the FW for the Beelink R-89.

I had testing the new v3.0.5, and when I had flashed fine after use the same procedure as with v3.0.4a (meaning upgrading from a clean installation of v.3.0.3 and then just "upgrade" to v3.0.5 using Android Tool v 2.35, otherwise I got "wasser logo" boot loop; this version as it was the v3.0.4a can not handle a clean installation "erasing flash").

The first impression was very possitve with the new additions and with the performaance even better than in v3.0.4a, but that was just at the beginning.

But when I had booted into recovery (system recovery 5.0 version 3e) to see if the option of "install zip from external_sd or usb or internal memory" was present to see If I can proceed to flash zip xposed framework; I had not found it, same as in v3.0.4a recovery it´s not present. So I just abort and went back rebooting to the system, but after this I got just a black screen and appear a notice: "mode not supported" or "non-compatible signal". After cut completely the power and re-start the system I can get booting the system, but the audio was lost; I had to change the mode from 1080p60Mhz to 1080p30Mhz to recover audio, and then back to 1080p60Mhz.
I think that the new impletmentation of "HDMI check" it´s producing in some way the problem. In this moment my system it´s not stable with v3.0.5. I´m using a Sony Bravia Full HD, smart TV, 55".
The Audio is been lost frequently on 1080p60Mhz mode, need continually after a reboot change to 30 mhz mode, check the audio and go back to 60 Mhz to can work normally.

Before the problem appeared, I had tested different versions of Kodi, SPMC, ZDMC and I had noted that the kodi playback had been presenting more problems that with the v3.0.4a; ZDMC it´s perform a little better here in v3.0.5 than the other versions. I think that a new customized version of Kodi for this new FW it´s a need. The HD playback and higher resolutions that require video hw accel needs be improved propbably with and updated codec from rockchip; i had seen news that this is a promise from Rockchip, hopefully this become a real fact soon from them.

So to can flash a zip file from recovery I guess as I had done into v3.0.4a I need to install CWM from arctablets and see if xposed framework will not kill the system here as It was in v3.0.4a; but first I need to stabilize the system to can proceed with that matter.

Thanks for your work Wasser.

Can you get it into bootloader mode that your PC can see?

Just forget my last post, was something wrong with my audio receiver. Everything works fine again now :-)

[bluesmanuk]

in this vision, sound lose for 1 sec somtimes. pls fix it.

If you are hoping for any kind of resolution then you should provide more information to allow it to be analysed/reproduced.

[bluesmanuk]

I managed to get it to boot when I first installed 3.0.3 and upgraded to 3.0.5, but after turning off the box it won't boot again. Just getting a "no signal" screen on my TV. Have never had this problem with any of the ROMs before..
