Use update app. Or turn off the Box, disconnect the cord, use pin to push reset button, while pushing connect the cord back, still keep pushing till You see TWRP logo (first there will be boot logo, than TWRP will start). At TWRP logo You can stop pushing.

You don't need to to keep on pushing the reset pin until you see the TWRP Screen. Just 2-3 second when you see the boot screen is enough.

Hello,

I have problem with casting. The device show in youtube app, but when I push to connect it says "there was a problem connecting to H96 PRO+"

Any idea?

Thanks,

M.

So since there's no ext4 support for external devices yet, I've found a workaround for the meantime (root required):

Open a terminal and enter "su -M"
Create your mountpoint (i.e. "mkdir /mnt/hd")
Then mount whatever you need (i.e. "mount -t ext4 /dev/block/sda /mnt/hd")

Done, the apps should be able to see it (if they have access to root filesystem, didn't bother with bind as I use this for Kodi)

Cons:
You will lose the mount at boot.
I'm still trying to figure out a way to run at boot, tried making a script on init.d but it didn't work.
This is only temporary until we get ext4 support anyway.

Adiante tuga!

I actually made it "99exthd" and it is 0777, it is getting executed since the "hd" dir is being created by the mkdir, but once I cd into it, it's empty... so the mount portion isn't working.

If I do it manually it works fine, not sure what's going on

try using busybox ex: "busybox mount -t ext4 /dev/block/sda /mnt/hd"

Busybox didn't work either... I think the script was running before the usb hard drive was getting detected, so now I search for it before trying to mount it... just tested it and it worked
May not be the best way to do it but it works at least for me for now

#!/system/bin/sh
#
# Mounts external EXT4 HDD

while [ `blkid | grep sda.*4de6d871 | wc -l` -eq 0 ]
do
        sleep 5
done

mkdir /mnt/hd
sleep 2
mount -t ext4 /dev/block/sda /mnt/hd

Yes i think is that, 5 sec i think is to low.. maybe 10
But if it works with 5.. let it be!

Hey Superceleron, I’m was checking out your video on the SCV-A2 version of this ROM and was wondering why I can’t seem to find the SC section in my settings. I see you going right to it, but I don’t see it anywhere. Any help would be awesome. Thanks brother. Great job with this, by the way. I really dig it.

Well that option is a "hit and miss" since is not planed to work at all i dont really mess to much with it... if it works it works, if wont work it wont work...
On my phone it worked, maybe on other dont who knows... googlecast will never work ok.

Hi, I've flashed your incredible custom atv ROM to my H96 pro plus 3gb/32gb variant and it works perfectly with zero lag! Everything seems to work accept a few things which I was curious about, for instance, how do I cast to YouTube from a phone ? and how do I download BBC iPlayer ?? And is there another easier method to contact you ?? Cheers.
Regards Kiran
