MXQ "All Black" S805 Versions / HD18q / and Clones Directory

[jed]

Check the power supply adapter to make sure it is 5V 2A. I bet they are using a clone board with 1.5Volt as used on Vigica boxes.

kostaman I no longer have this box so cannot test but perhaps fanni2 can do what you ask ? I think we'll be seeing more of these (m201C) boxes.

Here is the power supply it shows as 5v

I have a few Remote.config I will be posting later on

Edit: As promised these are remote.conf I found that have fixed most of my boxes with non working remotes.

hi i used remote 3 all working but the ok button does anyone have a fix for this??????

[fanni2]

fanni2 So you can use it perfectly fine on Android, or wait for OpenElec support ("K" has identified whats needed) or return it, using the fact that it is a "Clone" from their own description. I noticed a lot of negative feedback for this very reason. Its mis-advertising as in effect they are all "clones" :-) Will the real all-black-MXQ please stand up ? No-one stands :-)

Right i've just flashed the latest openelec OpenELEC-Amlogic.MXQ.arm-6.0.1.1 and it boots lovely and is very responsive much better that running android the only problem i have now is the remote is not working wifi is now showing as being ok but have not fully tested yet.

So my next question would be how do i use the info from my working remote.config to add into openelec???

[fanni2]

right scrap that just flashed the OpenELEC-Amlogic.HD18Q.arm-6.0.1.1 and everything is working wifi and remote happy days!!!!

Hi, my mxq works fine but my pvr dose not no matter what I do the buffering still continues, my movies work perfectly. Is it possible to connect a usb dvb-t2 dongel to my mxq? will it work with openelec, and will it be possible to finally watch tv channel with it?

[topher67]

I have a "generic" black box mxq, supposedly from tayunsmart(?), brand MBX, model m201, usual spec except wifi module is reported to be RT8189ES.

Question then, does anyone know which of the openElec builds - or other ROM - would be good to flash?

Peace.

Version Marking on mainboard: S805_MXQ_V03
Pictures of mainboard: See attached.
Wifi Chip: Realtec but cant read the model number
Known Working UPDATE rom: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/9RUK/k5VWgv44G (based on MXQ_112k4) and is called MXQ_112k4_lite_Multi.zip as it does not replace Uboot or Logo. It says on the 4pda.ru forum that may work on other devices (universal). USE AT OWN RISK.
Known working IMG rom (for USB burning tool): https://cloud.mail.ru/public/7oSn/WunL7sMWW
Known working Openelec version: Yes see http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-...268#post541268 Bootloader.img needs changing to avoid brick. Do at your own risk
Where puchased: Amazon UK.
Any other info:

May be a clone, a later version of the HD18Q, or something else. I have tried about 10 different roms on this new box, including the *standard* openelec builds for HD18Q and MXQ (from Sdcard and Nand)....all result in a bricked box with no access to recovery via toothpick, no recovery via bootcard maker...Only way to recover was with USB A to A cable and USB burning tool with correct img file https://cloud.mail.ru/public/7oSn/WunL7sMWW which i found at http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=621980 . This firmware is marked as MXQ-S805-V1.2 (HD180_V1.2) and "for those with a brick and error when you try to restore [0x10105002] Romcode / Initialize DDR / Read initialize status / USB Control setup error" when using USB Burning tool....which is the error I was having when restoring any other img. Wifi works on this rom and so does access to recovery...Remote does not work. I do have a nandroid back up of the original (pictured below with a date of 11112015!!) which I will restore.


EDIT: Found an OTA update at http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?s=&sh...ost&p=44636523 that works for this device. It says it doesnt change Uboot or Logo. See link above. Be aware first boot takes about 5-10 Mins.

EDIT2: Openelec now working after changing bootloader.img in openelec update zip (see above)

Hi! I unbricked my box using the russian .img, but I can see that you made a nandroid backup of your original firmware the one dated 11112015. Could you upload it and share?
