K-R42 Hybrid Firmware (HFW) 1.1.0 by lewy20041

[rlcdo]

When I go to settings, miscellaneous and click "Enable/Disable XBMC Auto Boot", what should happen? Because I think nothing happens. Simply restart.


And which version of XBMC should I use? Could someone give me the link to download the best and most stable XBMC?

Sorry for my english.

Issue with video after power loss

This may have been brought up before but I have not been able to find. I am running the latest 3.2 firmware but having an issue after power loss. When I try to turn on the k-r42 device I just get a black screen. It takes multiple boots and unplug and replug in the power and reset button pushes for me to get back to a usable video output. sometimes it tries to come up but gives only static on the screen. Any ideas on what to do or the sequence needed to regain usable video output. It will always give useable video output when you boot into recovery. This happens on 3 different k-r42's and as happened on all Lewy firmwares to date.

Thanks Lewy for your awesome work.
HFW 3.2 runs very smooth for me but unfortunately Wifi is not that perfect for watching very large videos so I rather would love to have ethernet working. Is there any chance to get a kernel for rev 2.1 which contains the ethernet fix and keeps the default cpu clock up to 1600 Mhz? (or maybe even oc?)

If there is anything I could do on my own please let me know. Tried to overclock the new kernel by wasser to have 1600 Mhz but it seems that the cpu clock table is missing from the kernel so it cannot be patched using: http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.p...-rk3188-kernel

any idea or hint is highly appreciated :-)

[sta1ny]

does anybody also have the rk3188_box_szy_x6 v1_0 131024 version?

i am searching for a working firmware.

any suggestions?

i have switched now to the wasser 123 new rev kernel and its running awesome.
thanks for the hard work guys

Hello Turbolooser,
you seem to be very happy with you TV box.
I have a K-R42 v2.1 too.

In your signature you write HFW 3.2 beta - Wasser 1.2.3 new rev kernel.

Could you tell me the process to put HFW 3.2 and wasser 1.2.3.

I tried to use the RKandroidtoll v1.37. but the differrent files : "kernel, boot, misc, system..." is a little bit confusing for me. I don't understand what is the file for hardware firware, what is the file for the android kernel,...

Thanks in advance.

Big thanks to LEwy20041 and Wasser for their work.

Hello

the best way is to use all files from wasser firmware except system.img from HFW.

Dont forget to erase IDB first.

Franck.

[turbolooser]

i did it the other way round :-)
i have flashed HFW 3.2 as provided and later on flashed just the kernel from wasser firmware 1.2.3

Dont you have boot lag issue ?
I had to flash also boot.img from wasser in order to boot correctly HFW3.2 on new revision board...

Just did it yesterday and will keep the device running so it might not effect me that much :-)

Firmware Version 3.2 runs fine here. Thanks Lewy.

But I have a problem with the Youtube for Google TV 1.7.3.

With the old Version every stream played fine. With this new version i get some "Stream unsupported" messages for whatever reason.

Could someone try like for example the official Milly Cyrus Wrecking Ball Spot ?

It worked with Youtube for Google TV 1.6 (That was the one in 2.0.4 i think), because with 1.7.3 i get the unsupported message.

And where to download the old Youtube for Google TV ?

Greetings.

so you flashed boot.img + kernel.img from wasser 1.2.4 new rev after flashing HFW 3.2 beta?
what cpu clock do you have now? would the oc kernels work with that setup also?
ethernet and wifi working without packet loss?

thanks for any feedback
