I can edit the init.amlogic.board.rc and boot. when adding the SuperSU or su and sudaemon, the device boots into recovery???

DONDIDIT and prahjister For me, did not use the provided zipped file. Just followed steps provided by meatheadmike.

1. I used the boot files from Tanix TX5 Pro and replaced the boot files in stock firmware using customization tool. Get that firmware here: http://freaktab.com/forum/advertiser...mware-20160809
2. Per prahjister step, manually copied SuperSu.apk to C:\Program Files (x86)\Amlogic\CustomizationTool\tmp\level2\system\ app\(create folder"SuperSu")
3. Repack stock image and give it a good filename.
4. Load using USB Burning tool.

So, I don't think you need to mod the init.amlogic.board.rc as didn't need to. You could use the boot files in zip and SuperSu.apk that prahjister provided.

Give me a few minutes and I will test with prahjister steps.

just wait a bit, it does take time and then it should install apps (android) image.

Ok, prahjister from your zipped file, I just took the SuperSu.apk, aml_sdc_burn.UBOOT and UBOOT.USB and manually copied to the extracted stock image Nexbox A95X S905X 2GB/8GB. Of course repacked, and then used USB burn tool. It does take min or two when at Nexbox boot animation and then goes to blue screen with Android image installing applications. Once at home lanucher, you will then get SuperSu asking to grant permissions for SmartTV launcher. So, that tells you that the system is fully rooted by then.

Yep, had the same issue with any pvr's within Kodi. Personally, I removed the Kodi and Kodi Center as it had to much bloated stuff there. Just un-install and download again from Google Play.

[DONDIDIT]

uninstalling and reinstalling didnt do a thing.. the pvrs are still disappearing over here... did your get working? what kodi are you using?
