Anyone own this box, and can check :
- is there stock firmware available ?
- is stock firmware rooted ?
- is native resolution settable to 1080p ?
- can YouTube or NetFlix play at least 1080p videos ?
Many thanks for info.

I received It yesterday. I have to test it. I noticed that there is no notification bar (the top one) and not even the navigation bar (the bottom one). How can I enable them? I went to the menu but did not find the right voice. Gearbest told me that It's rooted, but I still have not found an application that works to control the root presence.

Where can I download firmware ? thanks.

[trebor]

Onto some testing and Information etc

Switch on Good, no problems with Google, set up apps, updated no weird stuff
Remote, feels good, purple Buttons wife likes, works well.
Good looking Unit I feel different shape has the look The Wedge comes to mind

Being a Rk3328 CPU, good for streaming and social games not a big performer.
2.4Ghz wifi and Fast lan, BT handy for speakers, keyboards headset etc.

In Images above we see Samsung Ram and eMMC so speed should be Ok to Good.
Box warm to touch heatsink ok..Bigger would be better I feel.

Unusual to see smaller HDMI port on this Unit small is good, also smaller OTG port
Youtube 1080
Netflix, lipsync problem change to 24hz ok, picture looks good not HD but ok.

We do have Root
Don't update SU or it will have boot loop...
No upper notification or lower task bar.


Lets have a look see

UI, looks ok simple clean

Installed apps

Drm Information L3

This rom I installed but no Bluetooth 4.0

Hi Trebor...I just got this box and updated the supersu before seeing your post here and it's stuck on booting...So with the searches I've done I found this page and have downloaded the RK Driver Assistant and RK Batch Tool and have plugged my box into usb on my laptop. I downloaded the firmware file as well. I ran the installer for the drivers (I'm running windows 10) says installed okay. Then I open the RK Batch Tool, load the firmware then plugged in the box to the laptop while holding a paperclip on the reset button but my Device does not get Detected in RK Batch Tool...I've been trying for many hours all different ways to load the box but I can't seem to get it to load or detect my device. Would you have any suggestions as to what I may have to do to get it to detect my device?

Thank you for any help you may provide...Aaron

You are using OTG port small one...

Hold Button plug in usb, mine detected in an instant,
Unless not enough power at usb port ?
Check device manage on PC maybe unknown device, just remove from device manager and rescan may detect ok.
Using win10 here..

Yes, I did update supersu and bootloop.

Firware has been requested for this model...may take a little while

I did what you said and it looks like it's having a hard time with drivers...It keeps showing up as unknown device in the device manager. I've uninstalled and re-installed many times and also tried the Rockchip Driver Assistant v4.3, 4.4 & 4.5 and none of them load without showing up as unknown device..I've worked with lots of firmware on my other boxes and galaxy phones using Odin but I'm new to the Rockchip and I just can't seem to get it to detect my box. And I'm sure it's due to the unknown device in the device manager. It'd be nice if I could find a version of twrp to work with to update it with my microSD card.

Thank you for trying to help but I may just leave it for a bit and see if newer files come about that I can try later on because I'm getting really frustrated with this box. I've spent about 20 hours trying to get this out of the boot loop with no luck at all.

Thank you...Aaron Raymond

if right click unknown device and update driver and point to the driver may work.
Have seen before the USB get a Mind of its own esp if laptop is dated
It is trying so nearly there
try other usb ports, or a a friends PC..

Yes frustration and media player go hand in hand when things go wrong.
