[ROM] Ugoos AM6 ATV_by_Sasvlad ( AndroidTV 9.0 )

[Wayne7497]

The MINIX U9 and new U22-XJ has legit Widevine L1 DRM. You would classify those as a development boards.

With AMLogic chipset – Google Certified Android TV devices that all have mandatory WV L1 and HDCP...

If their locked bootloaders are coded in such a way as to to check Booting from SD card, USB and then finally internal eMMC.
You can actually get then to boot to an alternate OS using a special AML script, which is what CoreELEC uses.

The example is the Google Certified Android TV Mecool KM3 / KM9 devices that Dual Boot Android TV / CoreELEC.

Has anyone been able to get this ROM to work on a Beelink GT King SA9X model. So far box is stuck at boot logo, any help or ideas?

It only works on the Ugoos AM6 devices since they have an extra hardware security chip which the firmware requires to boot correctly.
It is for this exact reason they implemented such features to stop other companies copying their work for free which happened a lot with previous devices.

Thanks for the answer. Time to look for a better ROM for the Beelink. Thanks for your efforts and keep up the good work, time to get the AM6

[mo123]

I don't expect the GT-King to get any better software wise since 80% of all the changes Beelink made in the last firmwares were all cosmetic and didn't improve or fix anything in relation to 4K, HDR, sound or anything related to video playback really.

Crash every time I try to boot from coreelec.

It looks like the AM6 is the only S922X product that people should be looking at. I can confirm Beelink's software is horrendous, if you have home theater equipment (soundbar or AV Receiver) stay away from this product.

Updated: [ROM] Ugoos AM6 Android TV by Sasvlad 0.3.4 DualBoot and SingleBoot

If I install the version 0.2.2 and after that install the 0.3.4 will I be able to install updates in the future without losing everything?
Thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot.

Just install the 0.3.4 directly from a PC, skip 0.2.2
Yes ota updates can be flashed as updates later on.

Yes, you can install 0.3.4 with the ota update if you're on 0.3.3 but only if you use the stock Ugoos firmware.
If you are using 0.3.3 ATV from Sasvlad then you can only use TWRP to update with the 0.3.4 ota update firmware from Sasvlad since AndroidTV firmware has extra CoreELEC partitions and different Google apps.

Is it possible to get larger CoreElec partition? Addon data can accumulate pretty quickly and 4 GB is just not enough.
I have the 32GB version the plus model and I could use some of that additional space that’s just sitting there with android.
thx

Minor firmware revision looks like 0.3.6

I have the same concern.
I bought the Plus version because my Vero 4K only has 8GB of space.
My library is quite big, add-ons and database alone exceeds 4GB.
Is there a way for the CE partition to become bigger or even take up the whole storage?
I won't use android, I bought the device only for CE.
Any advice will be appreciated.
