S905X Android 8.0 Oreo (Tested on Mini M8S II. Possibile to work on other GXL/S905X boxes. Testing needed! "WIP")

[sagert]

Hello Sagert/Soldiaz, I was able to install this on Nexbox A95X. Its blazingly fast. Almost everything works except the known issues. No wifi or bluetooth. I am using Ethernet so that is fine. However, I am not able to make any remote work on the box. I have plenty of IR remotes lying around so I tried them all but none of them works. Any suggestions? I am going to use a USB remote for now but I would ideally like to be able to make one of the remotes work. Any suggestions? Thanks for all your help.

There as no root .Amlogic tool v6.0 unpacks the image.Here. you need to unpack the image only 1 level and replace the file boot.PARTITION.Maybe root will appear.

The Android 9 ATV release is best rom Ive seen around here. But since it does noot work with my RTL87328bs chip I did not try to take a look inside the rom.

To do so, you have to unpack on Linux since AML Tools 6.0 for Windows is unstable and you cant unpack to check structure / remote location / DTB hardcoded maybe etc...

ATVX 3 does not work on my device: red light, black screen...

It is necessary to erase the bootloader with the firmware.

That is what I thought...but I have BT fix only no wifi...

Guess I try ATVX V3..

But the image from vietnamese webpage is really impressive fast on 1GB device...unbelievable...

I also saw the vietnamese web page.Then they hid it for me.The more participants the better.Project treble gathered a lot of participants and it is developping rapidly and helping others.

Remote works, very nice, Wifi not, cant pass first screens due to missing ethernet port - daaamn!!!

Any idea howto flash or boot twrp? copy to SD root, keep pressing rset button?

Ill would try flashing some fixes....

Here is another core.You need to take twrp3.2.3 and replace the core with a new one in it .Then write a new twrp to the memory card.Insert memory card into the box.Turn on the box while holding
the rezet.

Now there is no box root due to boot.img .
