Lollipop - Wasser Firmware for Beelink R89

[yakup]

Hello,

thanks a lot to Wasser for this great firmware. I have installed it on Cloudnet CR11s tvbox and met the following issue :

1) Ethernet is not working (not the same driver i guess)
2) Bluetooth also not working


I've been looking for days a way of embedding the stock rom drivers but it looks quiet difficult since i should probably recompile the kernel...and unfortunately i don't have Wasser sources.

Actually, i was even blocked at unpacking the kernel.img file since i guess the drivers are located in it.

Once i will have a Linux env, i will attmept with 900supersport android rom kitchen but i don't have it yet for now...


Any help will be apreciated !

isnt there any flash tool for android. so you can use an android tablet to flash you android media player/tv box.

No there isn't...and I doubt that there will be one in the near future.

If you have an existing tooted ROM then simply install the Reboot app from Petrus from the, which has a boot to bootloader option.

Saves messing around with the hardware and pins.

ok

when i connect the box to my computer have the box off use a tooth pick in av hole and press power ill get into recover mode . but my computer dont find any device.

I think that this procedure will take you to recovery mode but not loader mode. I always get into loader mode by disconecting power supply and with connected USB OTG cable I press reset key inside av hole and then insert power supply inside electric outlet.

Have you installed the rockchip drive required to enable your PC to see the box?

i have this installed on mine tronsmart but an old version.
can i put the new version on a external sd boot into recovery and update it from there

No.

You will need to flash it using the android tool and cable.

If you have something such as Titanium backup or TWRP then you can make a backup of apps etc beforehand.

AV/TV Out isn't fixed with 3.0.6 for me.

I do see the Wasser Bootlogo while booting up but seconds after that screen goes off and I get a "no video signal" message on my old TV.

I changed to TV Out while beeing connected to hdmi and confirmed the change but still the same result. Worked fine in 3.0.4a but since 3.0.5 it doesn't work for me.

Will try marshmellow now

Hi to all,

My Beelink R89 + Wasser 3.0.6 works fine with KODI (ZD-Kodi-armeabi-v7a-Jarvis-16.1-RC3-20160406). everything works except two things:

1. HDMI output cannot be higher resolution than 1080p (my TV allows 3,840x2,160) - if I change the resolution it will become black
2. I use EXODUS in KODI and the sound for some reason doesn't work with my Home theater (Samsung HT-F9750W 7.1). I have to put the sound from the TV.

Thanks for the update Wasser!
I did a clean install of 3.0.6 with android tool. I'm using HDMI Bitstream and got audio dropouts and laggy/slow video playback with both Kodi(Superceleron's fork) and Youtube. The audio dropouts was also present with Spotify. Audio/video playback was fine after I reverted back to 3.0.4a . Then I decided to give it a new shot, upgrading from 3.0.4a to 3.0.6 with factory tool. The result was more or less smooth video and audio playback as I was used to from 3.0.4a, just a few audio drop outs occasionally. I disabled both auto refresh rate and hdmi checking in android settings and RockchipCodec in Kodi settings.

Have anyone tried the new RKMC? Is it worth trying or should I just stick to Superceleron's Kodi?

I tried RKMC and it's just not worth it at this point.
