I read this thread and understand it should work, but can someone please verify it? I think this box is quite popular, so there is a chance someone alrady tried it

I just tried it, unfortunately it cannot flash successfully, the usb burning tool report this error: [0x10303004]Romcode/????/????/????????

From your working firmware android 9, take dtb and paste it into this firmware.

Hello sagert:
How do I extract dtb from the factory firmware? and how to paste it into this firmware?
What tools do I need?

Hi SC, if I can provide the dtb files of this device, so will this device be supported in the next release?

superceleron I have T95 Max+ S905X3 device. Most probably the DTB included in your img might not work with it. Would it work if I replace "_aml_dtb.PARTITION" file in level1 of your img with the one that I have in my stock ROM? Do I need to update/replace any other file?

superceleron or another question - what if I replace just system.PARTITION in my stock rom with what is there in your ROM?

no mate, it wont work like that unfortunately.

Yes it "should" work if the dtb has the same name internal name as the uboot is waiting for, that is for the s905x3 devices : sm1_ac213_2g and sm1_ac213_4g

yes you need to replace both partitions, system and vendor and hope the kernel of that stock rom is not that old!

Using the Amlogic tool v6.0 .

Okay, thanks for SC and sagert.

Thanks, I'll try it. If it does not work then I'll try replacing dtb

hoo i see, the issue in your box from my build is the emmc is not compatible with my DT...
Anyway just as soon as you turn on the box just keep pressing enter key in serial terminal until you get a shell, something like "g12a_u212_v1:>"
When that happen, just type "update" and press enter ( without the "" ) and connect the usb cable and voila you can flash the box!

Thank you so much !

[superceleron]

Updated first post with v2.0, enjoy!

Not working on Magicsee N5 PLUS S905x3. Rom error while flashing.

Great work on this rom. I have magicsee n5plus 4g/64g too which is supposedly DDR4. I hope the newer version of this rom works, but I am not trying yet until confirmed working.
I attach DTB and DTS for this box if it helps in anyway.
Also does this rom support mounting loop devices?
