X96S Display Dongle/Stick A8.1 Amlogic S905Y2 Dual WiFi BT4.2

[browerbr]

Anybody have a link to 2gb version firmware ideally with pie but anything will do since trying to install super su bootlooped the device.

I found in some "russian" forum a Yadi with firmwares for 2g and 4g.

I have both x96s (2g and 4G) and tested the firmwares. The 2g worked with android 8.1 and 9.0 firmwares (the 8.1 i think the folders are inverted, the sdcard folder is the usb folder).

My 2g x96s worked but was somewhat strange and slower with android 9.0, so returned to 8.1.

The 4G x96S already came with android 9.0 and work nice.

Here is the link:

Hi, everytime I try to set a different home launcher, it keeps going back to the default home launcher after restarting the device. Any help with this, thanks!

You must delete the stock Pendoo2 launcher from directory '/product/app' and install the '/system/priv-app/Provision/Provision.apk' which the Android 9 - Provision.apk can be found in other Pie ROMs if you decompile the ROMs with AmlogicTools. Provision.apk must have permissions 644 set (rw- r-- r--) with containing folder 'Provision' permissions 755 set (rwx r-x r-x) and located in '/system/priv-app' . The Provision app is what lets you set the different launchers, but in the X96S rom it is missing it and the Pendoo2 launcher has the overriding permissions set to always be loaded on boot or restart. I took the Provision.apk from the Ugoos X2 firmware to correct this problem in my device running Android 9.

Here's the zip file, unzip http://www.mediafire.com/file/047my5.../Provision.zip. Follow by RiCkLaR_atvX directions. Use Root explorer download it from google playstore to delete Pendoo2 launcher in '/system/priv-app'. Install Provision. apk, and copy the Provision folder to the '/system/priv-app folder. Provisioned.apk must have permissions 644 set (rw- r-- r--) with containing folder 'Provision' permissions 755 set (rwx r-x r-x) and located in '/system/priv-app. Thanks RiCkLaR_atvX

Hi sseng587, I did not understand well, to change the launcher, could you help me, please.

1) I tested with Root explorer, deziped the file "Provision.zip", in '/system/priv-app, after install Provision.apk

2) folder 'Provision' permissions 755 set is rwxr-xr-x, impossible to do (rwx r-x r-x)

3) In folder 'Provision', Provision.apk must have permissions 644 set (rw- r-- r--).

Can you, explain to me step by step, thank you in advance for all answers.

HI,

Thanks for your good product.

Currently on official rom X96S_V311_P20190925.

People said that choosing OTA would upgrade to official ‘X96S_V311_P_20191021-2013'.

But I chose the OTA,with or without VPN all says no update,your firmware is the most current.

Where is this official 'X96S_V311_P_20191021-2013"?

Can you upload to mega.nz?

thanks very much.

Hi all,

Did anybody tried this new FW? ( Android 9.0 - 06-11-2020 )

https://androidpctv.com/firmware-x96s-firmware-update-recovery/

Is there a way to flash stick with .ZIP via USB Burning tool? ...or must do it with TWRP?

Thanks in advance for the help!
