You can Also Install Relatively new Media Streaming IPTV Apps like Media Lounge on your TV box and get access to unlimited video contents

I think you have to first install the FileLinked (DroidAdmin)

Then you can get and Kodi addons or IPTV app on TV Box

There are actually some very good RK3399 devices like the RockPi 4(available as a bundle with all accessories), Khadas Edge and new Station P1 RK3399 with a heatsink case all which will receive Android 10.
WeChip or whoever manufacturers the H96 RK3399 has zero support for all their devices with Amlogic, Rockchip and Allwinner chips, so it depends on the manufacturer, not chipset vendor.
RK3399 also has great LibreELEC, Linux support.

I have Csa96 and its has just android 6 . So which manufacturer do you suggest for buying new tvbox?

WOW, thats great....still hoping someone would fix this firmware...what a good box. One thing for me I will never buy a rockchip again.

The manufacturer also didn't add mainline kernel support, it was done by independent users.

Ok, apologies for my mistake. I saw the Linux Kernel Changelog a couple months ago and thought it was the OEM manufacturer (Chinese name) adding the board to mainline. I had a feeling it wasn't the "X99" Trademark brand, but thought it was the real OEM manufacturer of the board adding it, and I didn't dig any deeper to find the facts since I don't own this device.

[mo123]

yeah I agree the X99 is a great box, just the firmware sucks, with android 9 it would be awesome with that firmware.Hope mo123 can do something with it.

I can't do anything.
I don't have a sample of this box and also no source code from the manufacturer and also not going to spend 2 weeks to do free work.
I'm also not going to spend $170(incl. shipping & taxes)(actually $200 if you take currency devaluation into account too) to buy such a box with no support.
I contacted the manufacturer multiple times in the past and they never responded, if they don't need my help then they can do things on their own unfortunately.

Someone posted in Mo123/Radxa thread they tried firmware booting from SDcard and it worked on H96-rk3399_box, maybe can try as well with this box, of course no guarantee WiFi, Bluetooth, or Ethernet will work if ROM is missing matching kernel drivers for this X99 device.

HI ,

yes that is possible , i tried the SDBoot with a A9 Rom , but the shit is the

not working Wifi & BT ,

good luck / gefattern

Hi ,
the PCBs are made well , only the stupid Rom support , the RK3399 PCBs are still very good ,
with new FW , without Bugs , well tweaked , it would be still a great Box ,
what about the new RK Chips , when will they released , end of the Year or when ??? ,
greetings / gefattern

Most likely before Holiday season, but don't expect new chip to a debugged firmware until at least 6 months after release.
I will be investing in both new chips for sure, hopefully the SBC manufacturers adopt the new chipset immediately so I can get new boards by end of year.

Next week I'm already trying Android 10 for RK3399
It's a pity these no name manufacturers don't provide any Android updates whatsoever then users are stuck with broken software.
But if users keep on supporting the no name manufacturers with no updates, the situation won't change.
It will only change when they all go bankrupt because no one buys their devices, only the few companies that provide updates will then be left which will be good.

Hopefully you can fix it.

Just can't believe someone isn't able to make a 9.0 firmware for this box.

You know this manufacturer of the X99-rk3399 board has added board to mainline Linux kernel, so what this means for everybody is you full support in Operating systems of Linux, like Armbian(Debían/Ubuntu)and LibreELEC. If LibreELEC doesn't have the correct DTB file, I know I saw it inside the Manjaro Linux rk3399 image, plus I am pretty sure Balbes150 includes support for this board in his Linux/LE software Images. Just something to try if you're nterested.
