Lollipop - Wasser Firmware for Beelink R89

[bluesmanuk]

Flashed new firmware and the TV "signal not supported"
Now ?
How i can re enter in bootlad without video signal ?

You could try and use adb from the command line in Windows.

Fire up the android flashing tool then use the command adb reboot bootloader and monitor the flash tool for signs of it being in bootloader mode ready for flashing.

MX Player with custom codec

Neither of the 2 10 bit files would play at all, just giving a black screen.

Did you wrote about 10 bit HEVC (Main10 profile) hardware video decoding, H.264 or both?

Only H265 10-bit is possible.
I haven't seen a H264 10-bit hardware decoding Android device yet.
Would be interesting to see what 10-bit is talked about.
In BSPlayer you can turn on software decoding then it can play 10-bit H264, but colors are a bit messed up.

Do you refer to last Wasser firmware when talking about H265 (HEVC) 10bit video or in general with hardware decoder in RK3288 SoC?

As to 10bit H.264. There aren't any consumer grade products with hardware video decoders capable of proper playback when H.264 codec has 10bit per channel color. But nevertheless there are software trick that allows to send such video stream to H.264 8bit decoder. Of course not without problems described by you (color shifts). On the other hand I didn't remember firmware where I couldn't play these file in MX Player software mode (SW) flawlessly.

You can use tool like RK31xx_firmware and extract from one image firmware file 6 separate MTD partition images, one parameter and one loader.img file. Then flash those files excluding misc.img with Android Tool. Eventualy you can use Android Tool "Advanced Function" tab to extract/unpack single firmware file into aforementioned MTD partition images. But I didn't try this method yet.

unfortunately for me (using wasser 3.0.1), i'm experiencing minor video playback stutter using mxplayer... that by itself made me revert back to rc4....

The two files I used were those that I reported in RC4 as playing perfectly, so used them as part of testing for the latest ROM.

I have the same problem. The flash works without any errors and reboots with no signal. With RC4 i have no problem.

Hi, I am unable to install every version newer than rc1 on a Tronsmart Orion Meta.

Install firmware works but after that the system hangs while "optimizing files". There seem to be a problem with one initial app (out of 79). On rc1 everything was fine.

Any suggestions?
