H96 MAX+ 4/32 or 4/64GB ROM TV Box Android 8

[Baxarn]

This was given by the seller as the ROM for it when we were troubleshooting.

Flashed it on 4/32 and the wifi doesn't work now..

Also the LED for power on and power off is always blue (power on)

I was going to try it to, I have 4/32 also, but looks like I won't be..dam to bad it doesn't work on 4/32

The first firmware for this box on the net work on 4/64?

[Guest]

ah, then you didn't use the one posted here by drdino? I am not sure i want to try it, but if it doesn't work you can always revert back to the original firmware

Found firmware so my wifi works again! https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...RO?usp=sharing

There are no status bar and no navigation bar, model h96 max+ 4gb 64gb with 8.1 is a crap, I'm waiting a real good firmware ...

no bluetooth, an issue with external keyboard recognition (can't move shortcut with long press, can't change langage)

Exactly, it seems Android 8.1 has gone backwards. I wasn't able to setup Nova as long press on app icons / widgets did not work. Disappointed. Is there a 6.X / 7.X ROM for this ? My 3 year old TV box (which had 5.1) was almost identical to my phone because of Nova and all the flexibility it came with.

Just got this box, pretty good so far but having no navigation or status bar is pretty annoying so would be good to get Xposed on here so can re-enable these. Also Nova launcher doesn't work fully, sometimes the display will go black for no reason especially in WiFi display when miracasting.

Anyone got a recovery that will work on this SoC? Need Magisk and Xposed to make this box more usable

Any way to flash the new firmware via the box on a SD card or using a linux device?

[Ali3n0id]

Just downloaded 'Navigation Bar' from the play store and have got the Navigation bar back, looking for the status bar next!

Hi Ali3n0id for the above tip for recovering the navigation bar

Can anyone give advice on installing a custom recovery for this box and installing Magisk.

Thanks

[Ali3n0id]

Sure there must be a TWRP recovery floating around somewhere for this SoC, once we have that we can install Xposed with GravityBox and use the master switch the enable the nav and status bars without apps.

There is an app called 'Status' that brings back the Status bar but doesn't seem to be compatible with Oreo yet.

Right I have got the Status bar back!.. Sort of - downloaded an App called 'Snowball' from https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/squand...-apk-download/

Not quite the full functionality of the native Status bar but at least I can see notifications now! Hopefully will have the proper one back someday soon..
