[ROM] Sunvell T95Z PLUS / T95K PRO / T95U PRO - 2Gb/16Gb - SCV1 Final ROM

[Jokerchyld]

YES. I just successfully* installed it via SD Card method on my T95Z Plus because I couldn't get the USB burning tool to recognize my device with multiple male to male USB cords, drivers, and version of the tool.

Steps I used to install superceleron's T95Z rom via SD card:

• Download: superceleron's T95Z rom (page 1)
• Extract the .img file from the downloaded zip file
• Connect a blank SD card to your computer
• Download: Burn Card Maker: http://download2228.mediafire.com/49...i169vzi/TF.rar
• Open Burn Card Maker
  • Configure the settings (see attached screenshot)
    • Select your connected SD card in the drop down menu at the top
    • Uncheck the top right checkbox “bootloader”.
    • Check the other 3 checkboxes.
    • Select the .img file from superceleron's T95Z rom
  • Click the OK buttom at the bottom right to begin burning to SD card
• After burn process is completed, insert SD card into your T95Z
• Reboot T95Z into recovery using toothpick method
• The T95Z will automatically begin installing update from the SD card
• Be patient while it install. My Device was loading on “Freaktab.com” boot screen for 5-10min.

*my Wifi device will not turn on my T95Z Plus. HOWEVER, I had this problem before flashed superceleron’s rom, so I don’t think it is an issue. My wifi stopped working after I flashed Sunvell’s OTA update onto a non-Sunvell T95Z. I was hoping this would fix that, but it did not. Not a big deal since LAN ethernet connection works just fine.

THANK YOU to superceleron for this rom! I wanted to get away from all the stock OTA updates and you made this possible. You have made my day and many to come

…....I would like to figure out why the Wifi doesn’t work, though. When I try to enable Wifi in settings, it says "“Please turn on Wi-Fi”" and but under “"Wi-Fi device”" it won’t let me change from Off to On. My Wi-Fi MAC address is 02:00:00:00:00:00, too. That’s clearly bogus. I think the device just isn’t recognizing the internal wifi adapter.
Is there a way I can try different drivers or kernels or whatever to see if I can get it to recognize the Wifi?

Thanks again!

Thanks TutorialBS! This method worked for me. I'm now at the Freaktab.com start screen. So I am going to leave it there. So glad to be able to get rid of the bloated stock firmware from the manufacturer. Next is trying new nightly build of KODI and see if DTS works a bit better.

I am using an 8GB micro-SD fit within a regular SD card cover thing. When I plug the SD card in and power on the device I can get into recovery mode, but it won't read the SD card. When I select the SD card I can a bunch of errors that it couldnt open/read file. Any suggestions?

sounds like permissions is the problem, maybe use the sd card prep tool before putting the image on sd card. or manually change perm for whole sd card, and make sure the card is formatted to fat 32 with defaults before anything.

its under \system\preinstall

i just delete from that folder and add apk from other folders i find on the android after i installed from playstore. then when i do i factory reset it only adds those apks as extra. the problem im having is making a image of my android so i can put on sd card in case of emergency. hope this helps.

Thanks

I am trying to remove the auto installed apps. Is there an easy way to do it? Where is the install folder?

hi i have a t95z plus, i was wondering how to open the image files so i can place my own apps in the install folder, then repackage. i doing this for a proper backup of my box. trtp and clockworkmod are not compatible, i have used adb commands shell dd but havent found a good way to image android device. i use to acronis for my pc's, generally i tinker with software then restore if i break it, lol. also i have tried way to many things to open the .img file as well to mention. i ve thought of finding a way to dd a recovery rom from nandroid rom and try on this device, but concerned of bricking device.

This has Android 6.0.1 and netflix installed.

Hi All,

New to the forum. Long story short I got a Xplayer AMLogic S912 octa core Arm cortex-A53 CPU with a MaliT820MP3 GPU 2GB/16GB.

It looks like this firmware would work on my box. Can anyone confirm?

Does this firmware update Android to 6.1?

problems I'm trying to fix is DTS Bitstream audio over SPDIF to AVR. In Kodi 17 rc4 and SPMC 16.5.5 it skips every 10 seconds and trying to stop. Those with this device and firmware is DTS working for you?

Also trying to get Netflix for Android TV to work. Currently everything I try to play says try again later. Netflix in play store works just fine.

thanks for your help

Well because of Yemble I got smacked in the head so I disassembled the box. I have come to find out I have the AP6330 chip. So I am good to go, man really wasn't that hard I just didn't want to break anything.

thanks.

A bit late now (sorry), but given that we know that these WiFi chipsets are not made by the same company, there is another way to find out without resorting to a physical check:

1) Install WiFi Analyzer app from PlayStore
2) Select Tools --> OUI Lookup
3) Enter your WiFi MAC address (get this from System Network Settings)

This will then lookup the manufacturer of the WiFi chipset, ie. AMPAK for the AP6330 or Longsys for the LTM8830.

If I were you I would disassemble the box and identify the exact chips for yourself, or at the very least take a sharp photo of the circuit board. Your other choice is to NOT take the risk and stick with stock if you intend to use WiFi. This ROM is NOT radically different from stock, although it does address some annoying features of stock.

Note that as far as I can tell, the Ampak AP6330 ( http://www.datasheetcafe.com/ap6330-datasheet-pdf/ ) does not support Wireless-AC, whereas the Longsys LTM8830 does (I checked the datasheet PDF), so you are stuck with Wireless-N performance with the AP6330. In either case, Ethernet, is still the fastest interface!

Thanks, I want to add this rom but I don't know if I really want to disassemble the box.

First thanks Superceleron and its more like superman.

i have the T95k Pro does anybody know if I will have the mac wifi problem with this box? Is there a way to tell what my hardware is for this box so I can make sure I will be fine.

Also very confused here, which file should I use? The one in this post or the link below.

So. Plus or Pro with this box (or avoid)?
