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

[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)

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

[soldiaz]

I ll try again and Post. It is vorke z6

[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 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

[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.

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.

@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.

[soldiaz]

NayamAmarshe : can you supply wifi patch as well?

[Vinnie1]

Let me know if you need any more pics...

[Vinnie1]

[reed]

which kind of ddr? ddr4? I didntfound any reference to this kind of product .if you have some pictures of the new motherboard please post it. Anyway it must be a romfor this configuration which can be flashed.

[Vinnie1]

The new board uses a different ddr and uboot.
That's why other firmwares are not working which is a big problem. I need the original firmware for new x96 mini to be able to push a patch

Hiya,

I have a bricked new X96 mini that tried to flash with your wicked rom using the sd card method, just red light now.

I also have the same box vanilla, can I extract the files you need from the good box?

[reed]

your device is not bricked. try to flash from another PC with this method: start the USB burning tools, load the rom img ,push start, insert a matchstick into av hole until you feel a click, hold there and insert the usb cable . process will start and with some luck wiil go on. if not , change the cable and computer. Personnaly I need to flash from an old computer because my last state of art pc always give error!
