[ROM] Ugoos X3 ATV_by_Sasvlad ( AndroidTV 9.0 )

[keppi2456]

Hello

I have had the Ugoos X3 Plus for a long time.
I had installed the Rome months ago with usb burning tools.
Then I went back to normal.
Wanted to do ATV for my wife again but I tried many times.
The box is no longer found with USB_Burning_Tool_v2.1.7.3.

Have now loaded the Burn_Card_Maker_V2.0.3.
But I always get an error message, L(1037) Check uboot file after read failed.
What am I doing wrong?

Or maybe someone can provide me with the bottom files,
since I try it by hand?
1. aml_sdc_burn. Uboot
2. aml_sdc_burn.ini

Maybe someone can help.

Sorry English is Bing Translator

Installed latest standard rom on Ugoos X3 0.3.9.1 but would like to go back to Sasvlad version but cannot probably because Uggoss has encrypted their firmware. Any way around this or am I now stuck with standard firmware?

Use the Magisk ATV addon to turn the stock firmware into AndroidTV firmware.

Latest ATV is now only paid and linked to your mac address if you follow the sasvlad telegram group.
I would suggest you just install the latest Ugoos firmware v0.3.8 then ota update and then get v0.4.0
and use the Magisk ATV addon to turn it into ATV firmware.

I just enter this thread, as I'm looking for a quality budget box, and from what I can read, Ugoos X3 Pro may fit the picture.

I haven't joined Sasvlad telegram channel yet, so can I ask you some question?

Do you now advise to go with the factory Ugoos firmware, instead of Sasvlad's ROM?

Latest Sasvlad ROM available here is 0.3.6, would the latest official Ugoos firmware be an improvement over that one?

What is the price for Sasvlad's latest ROM, and is it worth the money or not?

Of course it's best to use the latest firmware version
Here is the changelog from v0.3.6 to v0.4.0
You can decide if you want to stay on v0.3.6 or upgrade.

You just install the Magisk ATV module then you also have AndroidTV firmware.
There is literally nothing different except preinstalled apps which you can install yourself.
If there is an ota update, you just uninstall the Magisk module and do an ota update then install the Magisk ATV module again, no need to flash different firmwares again.

mo123 Thanks you for taking the time for that comprehensive reply.

If I can ask you one more question.

I'm between 4 boxes. Ugoos X3 Pro - Mecool KM1 collective- Mecool KM3 and Mecool KM6 deluxe

Can you please rank them from best to least favourable?

I should add, main use for the boxes is IPTV and free Movie apps. HD Netflix / Youtube or Prime are no requirement

Anyone else is also welcome to post their ratings for these 4 boxes

Can an older version of custom ROM still be flashed using burning tool on a box that has already the latest stock encrypted firmware?

Can an older version of custom ROM still be flashed using burning tool on a box that has already the latest stock encrypted firmware?

IMPORTANT! STARTING FROM 0.3.9. FIRMWARE VERSION, ALL FIRMWARE WILL USE ENCRYPTION.
DOWNGRADE TO PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF FIRMWARES IN OLD ROM FORMAT, WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE

[Jancales]

Has anyone done a temperature check with a stress test on the X3, and can elaborate what the results were?
