[ROM] XannyTech Custom Mod Rom + TWRP Recovey built-in - for MINIM8SII and other devices see first post.

[Xannytech]

I'm in the same situation, I'm unable to flash my box, and it's now bricked as well. I don't access the recovery mode.

I tried both methods, the USB Burning Tool is stuck at 7% with the same error, and the SD card method is blocked on the loading bar screen (black with the droid).

Can anyone help me ?

they are both drivers problem or cable problem

Anyone getting jumpiness and skipped frames with kodi 17.1 and spmc 16.6. If that happens only to my setup I will reinstall final rom to check from start. Tried different configuration options but still there. Didn't happen before with 2.3beta4.

Reinstalled final rom and checked spmc without installing any other app. Same situation. I made some configs and found that jumpiness is really judder: it ocurrs every 40-41 seconds. I had hdmi self adaptation off and spmc adjust display refresh rate to always. Even with display settings at 24hz videos at 23.98 have judder. Videos at 24hz don't have judder. So I think auto frame rate level 0 is not working right. With hdmi self apatation to on 23.98 videos plays correctly but some have a lot of skipped frames.

I dont use spmc but you can try to change from always on stop play with pause

what do you mean with "i made some configs"? I never had such problem, just maybe with "extreme" files for our device

Please, could you do this test? Set hdmi self adaptation to off, display settings to 60hz, spmc "adjust display refresh rate" to always, "sync playback to display" to off and play this file: https://mega.nz/#!BAFiCaJJ!kTkUWx2Da...CL8Ed0Uilqa8V0
My test shows that about 60s there is a jump and from there every 40-41s. That didn't happen with 2.3beta4. Files with problems play ok with libreelec.

Test Done, no problem with my tv at fullHD 60hz and i did with Adjust Display refresh rate on and off and HDMI self adaptation OFF. I did also a video, i will upload it later (when my icloud drive gives it to me )for you.
Many reason for this, your Hdd drive, your sd card some setting you changed, dunno, after i while i was bored and stopped testing
Anyway honestly it's not a rom issue so i'll not do any further investigation.
HERE is the video

Thanks Hez13 for the link. So I'm not alone. Yes, it's my stock firmware. https://mega.nz/#!o4B2xTTT!EY0XxsxRO...yEYqhs8p4fHOhM
With the help of her, I saved my box from brick. I'll be grateful to you if you make a firmware with a working autoframerate and amcodec in SPMC.

Just wanted to confirm the same. I put the XannyTech rom on an older 2GB/8GB S905x Nexbox with no issue, and I love it. On a newer Nexbox 1GB/8GB with the R4 circle on the back, I get a brick with just the red light coming on and no recovery. To un-brick I had to short pins 7/8 and reload the stock firmware.

Will have to wait when Xannytech will make the firmware for our 1\8.

it's a fu**ing huge work but if get some freetime i'll try. And without the possibility to test it is a jump in the dark, but... i'll try to do something.

I believe with the newer boxes they did something with the bootloader. It's not worth the hassle. You've done more than enough. Everyone should just avoid the new A95X boxes, as NO firmwares will work on them other than the stock one. I bricked a bunch just trying to throw Kodiloaded's firmware on them, and since then I haven't bothered buying them. Amazon has the Beelink Mini's for sale, and honestly, that is what your intended target was. If people want the new A95X's to have a new firmware, well honestly, tell them to look elsewhere, like tvboxforums.

Relax and take a deep breath and realize that you don't have to help these people. It's time for you to take a step away and have the masses understand that you are not our personal saviour and that people need to start taking responsibiltiy for their purchases. Your firmware is for the Beelink Mini M8S II, the fact it worked on other boxes was a nice surprise. That's it.

these are my usual words... thanks for help me anyway IF, just IF i get freetime and an "attack" of curiosity i'll try to see if something is doable, but probably the result could be a brick.
Actually i'm more interested to cook an Android TV ROM, i did it yet for me, but i need to understand better more things and then prepare a list of thing to do. I think the lack of widevine level 3 is the worse aspect, and i can't do nothing about it.

[Gilgamesh]

what's so special about Android TV, I tried one ROM with that but did not like it, prefer this ROM with the Wetek Classic launcher.

thank you in advance. I think many will be grateful to you. I can act as a tester.

Nothing special but i probably can't do more on "normal" type of rom, so i would like to play in another garden.

Hi xannytech, I have been testing Final test on a Scishion v88 pro s905x and found it very stable and the best yet that I have tried.
This box is used daily.
On test it plays Sony_4K_HDR_Camp video very smooth on usb and sd card.( I use this file as my benchmark on testing)
It does run hot when pushed but extra heat sinking helps.
Your rom has made this box great to use.
I do not use passthrough, games and other things that some other users complain of not working on there boxes.
It does not worry me that the red led is for on and blue is for off.
If I wanted it right I could remove the led and turn it around.
This is only a cheap box so I do not expect it to work as a $100+ box.
Thank you very much for your great work.
Cheers
Kevin
