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

[rin67630]

Version Marking on mainboard: S805_MXQ_V03
I do have a nandroid back up of the original (pictured below with a date of 11112015!!) which I will restore.

Would it be possible to get a copy of that backup. I bricked my device and can't restore it.
Thank you .

To be honest i'm not really sure what version i have ... possible 4th
Doesn't say anything on the reverse side.

Also you'll notice that there is only one chip right by the group of 3 usbs.

I have the same as you, sort of. I should have really looked into it more before buying what seems to be the worst box!

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)

Thank you this fixed my .MXQ-S805-V1.2.do you know were to get newest firmware for this box?

Openelec now working on S805_MXQ_v03 board. See http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-...268#post541268

I really thank you for starting this thread!! I think I understand replacing the bootloader file but for remote config. I don't know where to begin with that and resign zip was just a whole another level to this game. I'm not tech savvy at all. I've all ready bricked 1 v03 that's why I'm just so cautious.

I've installed bootloader.img to test OpenElec. Now my MXQ boot is too slow.
Is there another bootloader.img compatible?
Thanks

Yes. I see S805_MXQ_V03 in the pictures. It's identical mine.
Can you backup and update tour bootloader.IMG, please?
Thanks.

[joeblow3]

can anyone confirm that the twrp 2.8.7.0 mxq -all black works with the version s805_mxq_v03 board? I assume this is how i would backup to retrieve the bootloader.img???
