MECOOL KM9 Android TV Voice Remote Amlogic S905X2 A8.1 4/32 Dual Wifi Fast lan BT4.1

[dangchui]

For those trailblazers who manage to screw up their firmware on this device, here's an Amlogic burn package to restore it to stock: KM9_OPM1.171019.011 V0828.20181109_normal.img.zip

Notes:

• This was obtained by reading the raw partitions from media directly using the Amlogic update USB tool v1.3 and the Worldcup drivers.
• The package was created using "normal" vs. "sparse" images, since I've still not mastered the new Oreo file contexts and make_ext4fs v8.1.
• I've verified that the uncompressed IMG file writes back to the device using USB Burning Tool v2.1.2 and boots through setup, but not much beyond that.
• The reset switch for this device is in the audio jack, so make sure it's depressed when you insert the USB OTG cable in the USB 2.0 port.

Because we can write burn packages, that means we can also write custom ROMs and recoveries, so the next step is to build TWRP for this box.

Also, here's the build.prop:

The box doesn't support Amazon Prime as it doesn't have Playready DRM.

[panchovilla]

I installed amazon prime. It installs but doesn't play.

[mo123]

It will never play because of no PlayReady DRM license which is required for Amazon Prime Video.

Does anyone understand what he is saying? I guess it must have been a modified netflix APK with a hacked ESSN, because Mecool does not have a deal with Netflix or do they??


If this box was in fact google certified, DRM working, and Netflix approved it would almost be "perfect". Why then buy a Mi Box S when you can get this? But it seems like they do not have a deal with Netflix. That sucks. It means that the app can stop working at any time.

very strage, but this youtube said can support netflix 4k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vvbqp1MU9fI
i contacted with him and ask the APK he using, if anybody try, i will post the google drive link here and check , and clarify

Noob here... Is there a diff between 1080 and 1080 HDR?

[srvngrc]

My friend got 4K on netflix with 3.2.2 apk. It requires tv and hdmi cable with hdcp 2.x support he said.

Very small difference to me

Hi, just signed up and taken delivery of the KM9 and reading through all the interesting threads. So far so good - seems much quicker than my old Minix!

Major problem with the Bluetooth. Obviously it is working as the the link with the supplied remote operates (a bit mean not adding play/pause etc. buttons!) BUT although the box will scan and recognise my other Bluetooth devices it absolutely refuses to pair with them? This includes a mouse, keyboard and headphones, ALL of which paired and worked OK with the Minix X8-H ?

Any idea what is going wrong?
