as soon as you enlightened me about where the license files were to go, i dumped all 7 of mine into the C:\Program Files (x86)\Amlogic\USB_Burning_Tool\license\ folder
relaunched USB burning tool
pointed to image and mac showed as 16399 and i flashed as normal....
that's weird chit !!!

I got rid of the MAC 0 error by getting rid of burning tool 2.08 and using 2.05 and a different set of license files that people posted elsewhere who also have problems with the lousy Amlogic burning tool.

However now there is flash fail at UBOOT, with [0x10302001]Romcode/Switch status/Check connect/Enum device error. Only with the U2+ roms.

Factory T95X rom flashes fine.

I get the same errors if I try to flash ROMs from other boxes like Mini MX II/III and Mini M8S II to the T95X. Neither the April or May U2+ images will flash.

PCB is June 2016 v1.2 revision of the T95X/P212 circuit board

Did you follw the instructions in the OP? you have to press start and then plug the device....I flash my device 30 times and have no problems

[Swiper the Fox]

when you get that error
leave burning tool running...
just hold the reset in, unplug usb cable /plug it back in and then let go of the reset button
the flash will then just auto start itself
and least it always does for me on that sort of error

or as other poster indicated. maybe just need to unplug / re-plug usb cable

Yes....same here...and I have to wait to see uboot flashing to release the reset button. I will upload a new systemUI apk to replase the original....so we can get the status bar in the top.

Im trying to understand why the firmware keep asking for the original launcher....but no luck so far.

Is there any other verson of android 7 for the U2?

[Swiper the Fox]

Well, as much as it is nice to see android 7 on this box. playback of locally hosted shows 720/or 1080p are laggy at times. freezes up, slow response iwth remote etc..
haven't watched much online content so, not sure if this is also affected. (seems to be CPU resources are tied up alot during playback) tried different audio arrangements a but no chnage

Android 6 its slow in my device compared to 7.....so I stay in 7...I have no problems in playback...I use netflix, and Lodi (a custom kodi). I use a 4 amp charger.....cuz the other I have 1.5 amp give me problems and reboots...maybe you can try that. My charger its 5V 4amp...

I found a new version of 7 for U2+ and I will test it soon....maybe they fix some things....I will let you know if thats the case.

EDIT: I just flash the 20170510 version of this firmware...and new the google store works great, for me its faster than the old build and more stable.

Yes followed it exactly. I am very familiar with how to get into recovery mode and flashing. I've been flashing boxes for two years now, both Rockchip and Amlogic.

As I mentioned I have no problems flashing factory T5X1000X and T5X20001 ROMs. I only get ROM 0 errors with the U2+ roms and the license file link you posted does not work for me. I had to get other license files from other people having problems with the Amlogic flasher. Once the ROM 0 error is bypassed there is a consistent error I get with any version of license files, and no license files at all, if I try to flash U2+ or Mini MXiii, any other ROM other than factory.

This is same for 2.05, 2.07, 2.08 of Amlogic burning tool, License files installed after install and prior to first run.

I have also been flashing other S905 and S905X and RK3229 boxes the past few days with no problems with the same setup and USB cable. So I have no trouble with any other box using the same hardware and both the Amlogic and Rockchip flashers - only with the T95X and any non-official rom.

I have no problems flashing other companies roms to the different Amlogic based A95/MXQ/etc boxes I am experimenting with and I do not get any UBOOT fails - only with trying to flash the T95X with U2+ and Mini MXIII / MXII/ Mini M8S II roms.



You actually don't need to press start first. It will work both ways. You can plug in while holding button down and it will recognize it, and you can hit start then, or you can hit start and then plug in while holding button down. Either way the burning tool will start and flash.

Yup, done that, same experience on other random boxes a few times, except this one consistently fails at UBOOT, you cant get around it even by reconnecting, It just resumes and re-fails at UBOOT.

I have to press start and the plug the device...only with u2 firmaware...when I flash a95x firmware in my device work as you said...

I just update to the new U2+ firm from 20170510 and its working better...maybe you need to try in other PC...

I have to hold the reset button for some time when its start to flash uboot I release the reset and wait for the flash to finnish.

Maybe your box is diferent...did you check inside the box?

One time I have flashing problems that I fix when I start to use the 5v 4amp charger...maybe you can try that.

hi dear
did you think is wold working on m8s II even have bug wifi i not use wifi ^^

tanx for helping

have good day

[wunan]

Got this rom working on my T95N 2GB/8GB with SCI 9082 wifi. After modding system files, now the firmware got Android TV UI working (Play Store can search and download everything like my Mibox 4k, Live Channels work and get Full HD stream instead SD stream like 6.0 roms) but system settings is buggy (I guess this firmware built with tablet UI so when we switch to TV UI, they will cause a lot errors).

How did you integrate the WIFI SCI 9082. Can show some guidance? I need this mod to my S912 box

Thanks for the update. Yes my box is the same, P212 with realtek wifi.

I can flash the t95x only with the factory firmware or by trying to take the factory firmware apart and subbing out boot.img or system.img from other firmwares.

I cannot however successfully force flash over other complete non factory firmwares even if I flash twrp to the t95x. I can edit the update zip to run and flash, but post flash nothing will boot. Only factory.

The only firmware that will flash and run is factory room, on my t95x. Same across three of my PCs. I have been flashing a bunch of other P201/s905 , p212/s905x, Rk3229, and S912 boxes with the same setup with no problems. So I doubt it is any of my PCs/cable etc.

I can edit system .img with files from other roms and repack it into the original factory t95x, and that will flash, but that is the only way.

Unfortunately I can't do that with these u2+ ROMs because Nougat needs new formatting/partitioning that comes from a new flash, and my t95x won't take it

How did you get Play Store to work, any tips? Vs the typical install pending errors. Thanks

If anyone cares!

I have been working with this Rom for a Few days, I have it working on a Nexbox A95X Pro 2gb/16gb q9377 and my Old KM8 the only part not working so far is Bluetooth.

The A95X was pretty easy all that had to be done to get wifi working was to rename /system/etc/wifi/firmware to /system/etc/wifi/qca9377 and on the Next Boot Wifi was working.

The KM8 I renamed and replaced the 6335 with the 4335 drivers and wifi is working but Bluetooth is still an issue.
