Hey wasser,

thanks for your work.

I have a few questions:

1. Can you make a seperate thread for this new firmware?
EDIT: It is a seperate thread but not in the K-R42 / T-R42 forum...
2. Do you have the stock firmware?
3. I want to try your fw but can I go back to stock?
4. What's different to the stock fw?

Thanks.

Steffen

PC does not see / find the T-R42

Hey,

I've tryed to flash wassers new FW for the T-R42 but I'm not able to connect the device to the PC.
If I go to flash mode the pc does not recognize the T-R42.
If I start the device and and turn on "USB-Debugging" and "Connect to PC" the PC recognizes an new device but no driver can be installed.

With my K-R42 there was no problem.

Can anybody help me?

Wasser, If I flash your kernel over my stock rom and later if needed to go back to STOCK KERNEL, can I just reflash just the stock kernel from the stock firmware?? I believe that if I flash the entire stock firmware it will wipe out all my setup. Or your kernel isn't suitable with stock firmware? Thanks.

Hello,
i ordered one day ago the t-r42 on aliexpress

can someone confirm me that the wifi on t-r42 is really weaker than wifi on k-r42?

please answer me as soon as possible!

The wifi on the t-42 is working normal for me. My router is up stair in a closet and I received 3 bars out of 4, if I'm upstair no matter what room I'm in I got full 4 bars. The people with signal issue may be the type of routers they have.

No wifi issues on my T-R42 either. The router is a floor above. With the occasional complaint of wifi performance... I wonder if the antenna is attached to the mainboard... Might want to open it and check.

Do not cancel your order! I had really bad WiFi and i fix that yesterday the problem is really simple its just a bad connection on the PCB. Here`s how to fix it if you have the problem:
1.Open the box there are 4 screws holding it together
2. Find a magnifying glass and tweezers,and something thin and made of plastic
3. Detach the WiFi antenna from the PCB,don`t pull it by the cable! use the thin plastic thing you found and put it below the connector and gently detach the connector
4.With the tweezers pinch the outer metal part of the connector that is on the cable.Not to hard you don`t want to crush it!
5.Attach the antenna to the PCB.Don`t assemble the unit yet!
6.Power up the unit.(don`t touch the PCB with something made of metal)
7.Install the WiFi analyzer app and open the app
8. With something made of plastic(I used a plastic knife) move the connector around,and observe the WiFi strength once you set it so the WiFi strength is the best you could set it reassemble the Box.If it doesn't work do step 4 again.
9. Enjoy excellent WiFi on the unit I`m really happy with the WiFi strength now its even better than on my phone! (When i put my phone next to the unit,on my phone i have two bars of signal strength,but on my T-R42 I have 4 bars of signal strength!)I`m so happy that I didn`t need to send my box back and wait for a new one
PS:If the problem is frequent I`l make a little tutorial on how to do that with pictures and all.

I would love to see how to crack open the case... I unscrewed my T-R42 but gave up prying it open for fear of breaking something. Are there particular points that should be pried on over others?

Hi Bill once you unscrewed all the screws,get something thin and made of plastic (i used a plastic knife,if the knife has little teeth don`t use it you risk damaging the plastic case)
Put the knife between the black and gray plastic,gently push the knife and start moving it around the case(making sure that the knife is between the black and gray plastic!).The unit should just fall apart.

Right on... thanks. Guess I was just too gentle with it.

3 you can go back with stock firmware
4 there are some differents between stock and customer firmware

- init.d support
- rooted

This solution can be use Android TV Box CS918 with Bluetooth right? If not how to fine the customer firmware or stock firmware for it? Please recommended

Yes... It will work with the T-R42... The bluetooth enabled device similar to the K-R42.
However, wifi currently does not work.

Early days for this model... I'm sure updates will be coming...

Be patient. Lewy received a few days ago in the original firmware.
