[ROM] AlfaWise H96 MAX Android 7.1.2 4Gb/32Gb - SCV1 Beta

[sesdave]

I tried that app but it works exactly as the IR remote: you select power off and the system reboot.

All options working for me. The Wechip box I got has this build number installed : rk3399_box-userdebug 7.1.2 NHG47K eng.wisdom2.20170921.141543test-keys

Exactly the same version I have, but when calling for a power off it makes a reboot only. The same if asking for a power off from the recovery image...

Thx SuperCeleron.
I like your h96 pro roms.(912)

But I got no WIFI on my new H96 MAX. (3399)
The WIFI Switch doesnt work, and in the first start configurator it will show no available WIFI networks.
I flashed it with factorytools, first as upgrade, and a second time as restore.
both update methodes are working, but no wifi.

Is that normal? Have you an advice for me?
Thanks.

Gearbest story: My H96 MAX box was broken in 24 hours, after a month of no-reply mails they offer me a 25% refund... any hints ? Paypal protection ?

Okay sounds not good.
is there a chance for the future that you implement the driver?

thank you very much.
best regards,

Because of Wifi loss i was forced to flash a stock rom.
Version: rk3399_hcy_7.1.2_528_40M_171016.img uploaded from a user in this board. (thanks)
Now Wifi 2.4 + 5 Ghz is working well.
Hopefully SuperCeleron will implement the drivers from this Stock rom.
Have a nice Day

This is probably going to sound weird to you all. I have a NVIDIA Shield and a current generation Intel NUC i5 Windows HTPC, both of which are more powerful than the H96 Max. But, I bought it anyway. The reason I bought it is that I wanted an Android solution, which I couldn't get going on the NUC, and I very much dislike the Android TV OS vs full Android on the Shield. This seemed like the most powerful/best option below the Shield. I didn't come across this post until after I bought. I am still waiting for it to get here. After reading here, I am a little concerned. It sounds like you need to use a special fork of Kodi for good performance. That's disappointing. Is that still true? Even with those using it, there seem to be problems.

Also, on one other note, I bought this one:

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA29G6A59304&cm_re="h96_max"-_-9SIA29G6A59304-_-Product

I know it can be obtained cheaper. Sadly, for reasons I won't get into, I have to buy from a list of certain sites, and Newegg is one of them. Anyway, it doesn't actually even say the brand. I don't know if it's Alfawise or what. Is that bad? I initially assumed it would be the same performance as other reviews I have read, but after reading here and seeing how some people's comes with Android 7 out of the box, etc., it seems there could be differences from brand to brand.

The hardware is great but the firmware that comes loaded in the ROM is often crap ... so yes seems in many cases you need Freaktab's ROM to get the best out of your H96.

Yes agree but an SCV2 release for christmas would be even better
