Tanix TX6 TV Box - Allwinner H6 4/32GB Dual WiFi BT4.1 or 5

[leoz_tjay]

Device needs to registered with Oranth. Go back and read this forum thread, the easiest fix is install the correct firmware with Micro-SDcard Flash, but there is also a post in this thread on how to reset MAC registration.

I never use PhoenixSuite and only use PhoenixUSB-Pro Tool to Flash my Allwinner firmwares. Because you already messed up your device, using PhoenixSB-Pro Tool now may not help, and you'll have to register device or install by SDcard method.

Thank you for your prompt reply. already tried phoenix usb pro tool and hope it will work this time.

Hi this is my first time writing here. I have read all the reply in this thread. I have tried flash my tanix6 device twice and now my MAC shown NULL. Flash using phoenixsuit. Is this box toast already?

The problem



could be solved.

Reinstalled http://www.tanix-box.com/download-vi...roid-9-update/

I have tried to follow instructions got from Tanix but the PhoenixSuit could not install USB device driver.

It has been finished in several simple steps:

1. Burn the image to micro SD card by using PhoenixCard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVnp...ature=youtu.be https://androidmtk.com/download-phoenixcard-tool

2. Unplug TX6 from power supply

3. Put the card into TX6

4. Plug the power supply

5. Wait for green line reach the end and OK appear in upper left corner

6. Unplug power supply

7. Remove the card from TX6

8. Plug the power supply

9. Wait until android finishes boot. The first time after image installation it takes longer than usual.

3) It's a "issuse/feature" with the usb port. Some PC's and TV boxes don't actually shut off power to the usb ports when power is "turned off" on the these devices. It's why you can charge tablets and phones on some PC's via the usb ports when the power is seemingly shut off.

Don't know about a smart plug, but you can buy usb hubs that has on/off hardware switches for the usb ports on them for around $5.00 that will let you turn off/on the device like a usb flash drive plugged into the port instead of yanking it out the hub if you don't want to use it at the moment.

2) Don't know. Never used an alternative launcher on any device I owned. Never thought they were worth the hassle involved with them.


1) Contact the Magisk Developers. It's *their* software.

thank you c,lei

3) ok but with a smart plug i can turn off the fan from my bed!

2) it is possible that the problem is my tv because sometimes the image is too big with alice also but i cannot change it at the moment...

1) there are too many product and it is impossible magisk work fine for all... anyway i will check for a solution

I the meantime I have deleted cache partition. Upon boot the same message

[mlslzrvc]

try booting into android recovery.. then use Empty Cache
Some allwinner don't empty cache.. creating issues
like running out of space error msg, or WiFi being dropped
that's why regular do : settings/storage/internal/cache
ps.. the free space at storage can state many GB of free space ,
while the unit reports no free space left

note:
if you use file share site mega.. after download for example 1gb file
you can see the cache of browser used.. being more then 1gb even after closing browser

anyway.. goodluck

Thank you mitchel4you.

Could you please give instructions how to boot into recovery android?

some other question from a newbie...

i tried magisk manager 7.3.5 with magisk 20.
at the reboot, the box stopped at boot with logo tanix.
i solved it with a reinstall of May version.
so the first question is:
there is a fine version of magisk for this tv box?
it is possibile other procedure to hide the root?

second question:
i tried alternatives launchers but the images on screen is too big on my tv.
only alice work properly
someone can suggest a good alternative launcher or tell me how solve this problem?

third question:
i use a pc fan linked via usb at tv box.
the same fan stop to work when i turn off the pc but not with tv box.
it is possibile to turn off the fan in this configuration o i need to buy a smart plug?

I hope also that my questions are usefull for others rookies too!

thank you again in advance!

How can anybody help you when you provided no real information on what you were doing? What were you playing back? What software were you using? if you want help you guys need to stop being so vague.

I was playing video by using Dailymotion application. Simply, the TX6 has been rebooted and when started to boot told: "Can't load Android System. Your data may be corrupt".

Hi,

suddenly, during playback, my TX6 rebooted and showed the message: "Can't load Android System. Your data may be corrupt". I have tried to do Factory Data Reset, however without success. The same message appears again. Please help.
