Ok, got one of mine that I ordered 4/64 version, from gearbest. The bottom of the box states it's a TX6-H version, has both bluetooth and dual wifi. AliceUX gui, works pretty well, no issues with overheating etc., Installed Kodi and it works well as well, plays 4K video flawlessly. Installed STBEmu and latest version of IPTV Smarters Pro and that works good as well. I'm pretty satisfied with this box, I haven't experience any issues as of yet. Also this box's firmware has both bottom bar and top bar as well, firmware is dated: 20190507. I wonder if that's the latest one or there is a newer one available. When checking with update apk, it states that I have the latest version. Can someone tell me how I can get into the "more settings" of this android version, seems like there is no option for that. This box is running android 9.0 Pie.

Or if using the stock remote and can't use Drag function, use Buttom Mapper app to program a hot-key so you can activate the Quick-Settings to open by a 'long-press' of a number key then can use mouse via D-pad toggle to select the Settings Cog.

A better chip to own is the Amlogic S905x2, like in the Mecool KM3 and Beelink GT1-mini, but most S905x2 devices cost more then the TX6. And if you want the best firmware and support you should try the Ugoos X2 Cube for a reasonable price at Gearbest.com or Geekbuying.com

The CPU gets hot, 1. because of its 28nm build process not efficiently handling the power, 2. the inability of Allwinner to release a quality SDK for Programmers to make a firmware that is not boiling the CPU, 3. the stupid design for the TX6 of installing the board upside down and using a heatsink that has fins to make contact with a thermal-pad and large heatsink at bottom of device. The chip is rated for 1.8 GHz and all the Allwinner H6 devices running Android made by all the TVbox manufactures have to under-clocked the CPU at 1.5 GHz because Allwinner doesn't debug their Android SDK. Any advancements that Allwinner includes in there coding is all stolen from Sunxi Project.

Also, I have ordered a couple of TX5 Pro boxes that come with android 8.1 and use the s905x2 amlogic chipset as per your advise.

Also, I have ran some 4k video on kodi and used stbemu for a couple of hours and I haven't encountered any issues like others are getting here, there's no crackling in the sound and no sluggishness either. So maybe its better to stick with the firmware it came with.

Hi guys,
Don't know if anywone can help me.
I had some issues with my TX6 so I decided to change the firmware, and now I can't boot anymore.
My original firmware was this: petrel_fvd_p1-eng 7.0 NRD91N 20190112 test-keys
The PCB sticker read TX6-L 3+16G (XR819) 2019010013. On the back reads Model: TX6
All firmware I try now give me either a lockup after the balls animation, or the unit power down after the animation.
I tried the following img: 1219 0123 0228 0506 0507 0615 - none work
I'm using PhoenixSuit 1.10 with USB A-A cable to flash it.
Anyone can help me?
I read somewhere that you can jumper some contacts inside it to clear the memory, but I can't find how to do it on TX6.

I didn't know there was 3GB ram 16GB rom TX6 devices. Contact vendor or manufacturer for stock original firmware.

Use PhoenixUSB Tool not the "Suite" or us the SDcard installation method. Both work better than the Suite tool.

Sent a message to a retailer online that hooked me with this firmware: H6_7.0_3Gddr_LAGD_20190718.img
Used PhoenixSuit and it worked! (So no need for USBtool/Card)
I put the file here if anyone needs it in the future: https://mega.nz/#!OdsWHCRQ!ErAcsRBPG...TMmPe9G62uPd8kLast edited by bortao; 09 August 2019, 21:04.

*NONE OF THE FIRMWARE YOU TRIED FLASHING ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THE DEVICE YOU HAVE*
-A TX6-L 3+16G (XR819) 2019010013.
YOU SHOULD HAVE REALIZED THIS FROM THE VERY START SINCE THE FIRMWARES YOU TRIED FLASHING IS FOR AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT DEVICE WITH ENTIRELY DIFFERENT HARDWARE THAN THE ONE YOU HAVE.

Thanks.Last edited by c,lei; 12 August 2019, 21:03.
