[ROM] H96 PRO+ SHMOD 7.1.2 (DDR3/DDR4)

[Shonk]

i use the sd card method of flashing and it works fine on my CZ-S32-V2.2

This is my Custom firmware that i run on my H96 Pro+ CZ-S32-v2.2
and decided to release it for others to try

This is what i consider a clean light unbloated and stock firmware and is in essence what i think it should come like from the factory
(e.g. i didnt slap Shonk all over it)

The Following Firmware is only for
H96 Pro+ Firmware CZ-S32-v2.2 (DDR3)
H96 Pro+ Firmware CZ-S32-v3 (DDR4) (3 reports of the modified bootloader not working on a v3 ddr4 model)

CZ-S32-v3 (DDR4) (use aml_7.1.2_s912_q9377-H96PROPLUS_mac-20180409_shmod-k4-stockbl)
it uses the factory bootloader so there's no problems with the ram slight speed bump
CZ-S32-v2.2 (DDR3) users can also use this ofc if they want

I may do CZ-S32-v5-v6 in the future

Complete ChangeLog

Base Firmware = aml_7.1.2_s912_q9377-S912_mac-20180409.img

bootloader.partition replaced with a fixed version that powers back up via remote after shutting down with libreelec
The memory is slightly bumped from 792Mhz to 816Mhz (1632 DDR) feel free to untick flash bootloader if you want to keep the stock bootloader

logo.PARTITION replaced with Stock H96 Pro+ Boot Logo (was generic S912 Boot Logo)

Youtube TV 2.03.04

edited stock Launcher with thanks from Krypton

Feel free to install
Chrome,Kodi as needed
there's no point pre installing them as they will be updated anyway
just install on setup

Incase Your still confused K1 or K4

If you want the Stock H96 PRO+ YouTube TV 1.3.11 Get K1
If you want the Latest YouTube TV 2.03.04 Get K4 (I Run K4 as it supports 4k)
the id is different for YouTube TV 2.xx.xx
so the Launcher had to be edited to make it launch from the hard coded Link

please note i wont be adding anything back in on request
this firmware is built for myself if you want to make any changes
feel free to do it yourself

Thanks for working on the box, I'll try it out when I get time.

Thanks for your great work!

I've tested your new firmware "aml_7.1.2_s912_q9377-H96PROPLUS_mac-20180409_shmod-k4.img" with my H96pro+ 2/16GB and it works very good!
Especially your modification to "Power ON" with the remote control, if I use Libreelec/Coreelec! That's very great!

Paul

possible to change launcher on this rom ? thanks for your work

[SUSKY]

I had tried to install into H96 PRO+ 3G/32G, both of K1& K4 cannt installed success all failure on 95~100%

[Shonk]

use the sd card method

This is one of the reasons i hardly ever use the usb method
it can take me 8 goes to get a firmware to write without error

i tested k4 on my S32-v3 (DDR4) with usb burning tool and my box was bricked , i'm lucky ,i found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hgw4S6RgRBE and i'm unbricked ....warning for all

[Shonk]

Most prob down the the untested bootloader on ddr4
use shmod with the stock bootloader

[natzen]

i confirm it's worked ,thanks shonk

[Shonk]

it may well be that you specific h96 pro+ didnt like the ddr4 clock speed bump and some people will be fine
or it may be that all ddr4 model's dont like it

MY CZ-S32-v2.2 DDR3 is fine with the speed bump

thanks for getting back to me btw
would be interested to see what results others have with ddr4

[Shonk]

BTW the easiest way to unbrick is make an sd card image
pull the power
plug in the sd card
hold down the recovery pin
plug in power
keep holding until it shows upgrading

this works from a bricked bootloader

[natzen]

you know how i can install live wallpaper ? i's write application not installed
