Solution for stuck in Android load AML8726-MX Dual Core TV Box Android 4.2.2

Im having the same problem , impossible to install xbmc linux , always says installation aborted.

my only advise because all the methods of success have been posted starting from page 16 to the last page has tons of info and methods to doing this without the need of hardware aids (like UART)

just keep reading and be patient - follow instructions and you should be ok otherwise failures on a working box just mean incorrect procedures.

i clicked the link and its correct the first post has a link at the bottom says dexstars scrubber files

download them and your ready to go. If your not seeing the link you need to set your view to default but you can also search for post no. 301 - you will find it there

when you say stock firmware do you mean the official A9 MBOX firmware or something else?

update....

im suspicious of this firmware as it doesnt begin to auto install on its own - even with manually selecting this file it aborts very quickly.....

its a risky zip file from a not so well known source and im not even sure this is designed for the matricom boards g18ref etc....

use this at your own risk

oh yeah and i forgot to mention i will be playing with the mag250 emulator for iptv and see how well that works on android just like xbmc if we can get this feature to work well with our boxes we can have the benefit of both iptv mag systems in the comfort of our mx2 boxes

Have you got a link to the mag250 emulator. Also is there a thread or site thats actively testing this out ?

PS great work on the fw brick fix with dexter.

The android version of the mag emulator is actually found now on the android market play store. It's called I think iptv set top box emulator.

as for testing thread I don't think so but I've had a few hours play on this thing and it has loaded some free listings I found online so I think a subscription is needed to be 100% tested successfully

thanks for positive feedback with the android steps and hope it has helped you with yours

Thanks for the info.

During my tests with faulty MX2 boxes, and it's nothing I've seen mentioned in threads before, is that if you plug an ethernet cable into the back of a faulty box is that the green and yellow lights flash in sequence of 5 flashes. I have a few of these boxes that don't seem to come back to life no matter what, and I am guessing it is a service code. It would be interesting to see if this was the case and help people in knowing wether the box is possible to bring back to life.

U must use a 4gb. But stay away from micro sd

[Thegazmat]

4Gb but not micrisd?

So you think TF card its not a microsd card?

Just to use usual Flash stick with 4 Gb???

You must use a class 10 4gb sd card which is branded by one of the bigger companies such as Sandusky or Kingston to be sure. I successfully flash my boxes with a micro sd plus adapter but I'm using class 10 Kingston and I have no problems

[Thegazmat]

Ok

Thanks a lot!

4Gb - this is the main thing I think.

Becouse of my device has only microSD and normal USB socket I will use microSD and Adapter card.

I already tryed with 2Gb and even prepared it witn SDcardMaker and my u-boot.bit but seems like my tv-box can not see card during booting and still has a loop boot

So going to find 4Gb

plz i have a problem

hii everyone.. I have a problem, please if anyone know about these issue help me
I have a receiver based android dvb-s2, called prima 6001
after trying upgrading to a new firmware it stuck
no screen at all , tried both with hdmi cable and av cable same result
tried to replce cable and tried on different tv, same result
the device seem turned on, but nothing on the screen.
the new firmware provider adviced me to do what is called hard brick repair by connecting 2 pins from the board so the device boot from the sd card which contain certain files to go to the recovery.
I tried to do that, but unsuccessfully !!
I didn't know which pins to connect ..
any help ??
