W95 doesn't support supersu, this device is rooted before ship out.

you can refer to AZW topic "how to flash W95 box", there is an instruction about how to flash by micro sd card.

Would this W95 1GB/8GB firmware work for Nexbox 1GB/8GB S905W boxes?

Mines a mxq 4k and its has the same soc and board with this one.I got one of the newer ones with a S905w and comes with 7.1. I tested it and the only problem is WIFI keeps turning on and off. Already considered to flash it using this rom but ain't sure if its compatible.

Good night friends,
I got 2 of these boxes and I use them a lot every day. It is a very useful box, but I would like to improve the experience with NETFLIX. Is there any ATV firmware compatible? Or some Netflix Android TV version apk that works on w95?

The NETFLIX Android TV interface is much friendlier and more practical

I have W95 1GB 8GB. I was able to run Libreelec. Everything works but it wasn't rock solid in terms of stability. Performance was OK.

It's possible to run Ubuntu Mate but I didn't manage to get WiFi working, only wired LAN (still needed to manualy configure it). Video performance under Ubuntu was poor. On the other hand I could run apps like LibreOffice without any problems. I've had some weird issues with my LCD display under Ubuntu which forced me to quit using Linux and stick with Android.

1. Download https://yadi.sk/d/5_32km_EsCV2A/ARMBIAN/mali-6/5.41 Armbian - Ubuntu Mate image by balbes150
2. Under Windows use Rufus to burn image into USB drive or use dd command under linux.
3. Go to dtb files folder on USB. Find 1GB RAM - gxl_p212_1g.dtb or 2GB RAM - gxl_p212_2g.dtb file and copy it into root of the same partition as "dtb.img".
4. Run Android on your TV Box with USB plugged in. Run Update&Backup app. Select aml_autoscript.zip. Update. (only once, don't need to do it again if you flash different linux)
5. Reboot.
6. Password to Armbian is 1234. Configure user and password and reboot.
7. I had to use ctrl+alt+f1 and startx command to use it.

Wich one of the dtb files have you used?

im using av out, got black screen with gxl_p212_2g.dtb...mine is 2gb version

[jasonhelene]

I am very disappointed with this box, actually i cant boot any linux distro using AV output, and no libreelec + emulationstation works here, it sucks alot and since thats the only reason i bought this box im thinking about return it...its very frustrating, i dont see support or help anywere, im pissed off...looks like nobody owns s905w processors or nobody supports it. libreelect runs like garbage here, i cant find any custom rom for it also....my usb gamepad doesnt works with its stock android version despite it works on windows, linux and retropie...

Its a total mess im sorry but im very frustrated.
