X96 Mini TV Box Amlogic S905W + Android 7.1.2 + Quad-core Cortex-A53 + 4K VP9 H.265

[tiku]

@Jami, Stop wasting your time unless you find the firmware from the original supplier of your H/W of X96 mini, i have tried on three different models of X96mini form different factories with Same PCB Board Printed Q6X V2.2 17355 and all with Samsung ROM, but not a single firmware available over net or on ChinaGadget working on any of the three boxes i have, all the chinese manufacturer of X96mini are now producing their Boxes with secured Boot with the firmware. so it will only work with their hardware only & will not work universally on any X96mini, So wait till someone hacks their Bootloader.

Hi. Greetings from Spain. Hope you can help me. I have a problem with my X96 mini remote. The Stop buttom doesn't work properly, works like Play/Pause buttom. This is the original remote.conf:

Delete the original file and copy the new one with ES File Explorer via USB, but the problem remains. Stop buttom is Play/Pause buttom. Any suggestion? Thanks in advance.

[netrix]

i also had this device which is dead now after flashing incompatible atvxperience.. 1gb ram (showed up 2gb in CPU Z), s905w processor with p282 board.. anyone here have stock firmware for my device? has been trying bunch of fw on the net with no luck (stuck at 7% DiskInitial Error). thanks.

[soldiaz]

I had a device which was dead too and stuck at 7% as well.

I guess it is due too defective chip as even stock rom could not be flashed

[tiku]

soldiaz what's the message in the BurnTool Showing?can you upload the pic of your Device let me see the ROM and DDR.

[soldiaz]

I ll try again and Post. It is vorke z6

[reed]

the ddrams is DDR3L variant but maybe the device need another uboot.

[Sun_Storm]

I received yesterday a X96 mini 2Gb with board v2.3
I will try to install TWRP and make a backup. If done I will upload it. After that I will flash Atvxperience v2ff with usb burning tool and report sucess or fail.

Hi
Unable to lunch TWRP with native rom, the recovery.img (twrp.p212-3.1.1-0-signed) not visible in SD card into native recovery. But no issue for flashing Atvxperience V2FF with USB Burning tool (boad PCB v2.3)

tiku I have an X96 mini 4k Amlogic S905W 2GB 16GB. I bricked my box after supposedly successfully flashing a firmware from Atv experience. I have a solid red light. I've tried flashing a number of firmwares without success via sd card and Amlogic tool. The tool always shows a connection but I get that 1% with ]--[0x10103005]Romcode/Initialize DDR/Download buffer/Read item data failed error Jami mentioned in an earlier post. The vendor gave me a link to the (supposedly) stock firmware but I can't flash that either. When unzipped the file says mxq-4k-6051-nv2-1114. Of course, the ?mxq? makes me wonder if it?s even the correct firmware. I wrote to the company in China a week ago but no reply yet. Is the locked bootloader business you mention likely the reason I can?t flash it? I do have access to an identical box but the way people write instructions on copying a ROM are confusing to say the least, and one poster said you could easily brick the good box by trying. Would you advise trying to copy the ROM from the good box and flashing it to the brick? If so, can you recommend a good tutorial? Thanks in advance!

[Quinte]

Thanks for those responses. If you have a working box that is identical to the bricked box, would you expect that copying the ROM from the one and flashing it to the other would work? If so, can you recommend a method?

[Quinte]

Hi again. Sorry for not being more clear. I have two boxes. What I'm wondering is if there is a way to copy the ROM from the working box (even if the box is fake) and load it onto the bricked box. I've read that you can brick a box trying to copy the ROM and would like to know if you have a preferred way of doing this so as to avoid bricking the good box while trying to copy its ROM.)

Upload H/W pics of Both the boxes then only i can say its possible to copy one rom onto another or not.

[JG420]

has anyone ever ported an ATVx rom to the china clone version of these x96 minis?

[Quinte]

Is this the info you mean? It's from the working box. There is no signal from the bricked one, but they were delivered at the same time so I assume everything is the same.
