If the firmware is not for your tv box the usb tool will stop with an error!
Then try to ... flash the other!
As simple as that!

After many failed attempts i managed to flash successfully the u214 firmware. Photo of the updated system :

Is there any possibility to brick the device by flashing the wrong firmware update ? Is there a way to find out if my version is 8DDR3 or LPDDR3 ?

Has anyone tried the new October firmware ?

First time i see this firmware version so i don't think i can identify the real version of your tv box!
But i can say with sure that till now the 4/32 tv box from banggood was an lpddr3 version!
And also , i'm sure that these things are changing time to time!
So , i think you should try both of the 2 versions and give us the ... results!
Don't worry nothing will be happened if you try the wrong version...!
Just flash the other one and everything will be ok!

Hello i bought a H96 Max x2 (4gb ram, 32gb rom) 2 months ago from Banggood. It came with android 9.0. Today i saw that there is brand new October firmware from the company. I used Device Info HW to see my system in order to choose the right update. I saw u214 on board info so i should use u214 rom (8DDR3 version) right ? This one right ? : https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...J-XHAImx91RH7z

Thanks in advance.

The stock rom is already rooted by some chinese root, which prevents magisk usage. there is no workaround for this till date.

really? I had this issue with h96mini S905w. Magisk quit installation saying "bootimage patched by unknown program"

Thanks for the answer! Do you know if there is a rom for my device on Android Oreo with the possibility to use Magisk? When I got the device I think i used Magisk, but I haven’t found a Oero version that worked with ddr3?!

And know Iam stuck once again! Sorry for the “spam” of messages......

Iam on the new Android 9 and Iam trying to root the device with Magisk, but I can’t get it to work?! Downloaded Magiska manager and press “direct install”. Everything works and I reboot the device, but Magisk manager still tells me that Magiska isn’t installed?

Side-question: What ROMs do work with H96 max x2 4/32 ddr3?

Thanks! Will check it out! You don’t know how I could make my box start apps in “tv mode”? Many spoof my device into thinking it’s a ATV box.

SORRY!

[buttboyboris]

Sorry ... again !
But i'm not a big fun of ATV OS !
That's why i don't know much about these ... !

Would be great! Found something named “People’s ATV” do you now where I could find the rom for 4/32? Hopefully it works

Thanks for the qick reply! I think I have a lpddr3 version, I tried the new Pie release that was mentioned in this thread. The “b” version didn’t work but the other one did! Think it was the “A” release, if I understand it means I have a lpddr3? But does this mean that I can’t install any other rom? Would really like to install any of segej's ATV ports.....

Give us more details about your tv box...!
What it says on the Build?
Maybe it's lpddr3 version!
