Replace SU with Magisk

• Yes you can install Magisk through TWRP
• BEFORE you have to delete the root by always flashing in TWRP UPDATE-unSU-signed.zip
• flashing the image of magisk_patched_new.img by selecting the boot partition.
• This is version 20.3 of Magisk,
• after you must update it by downloading the ZIP version 20.4 from the Magisk Manager application or by downloading it HERE.
• And then flash the ZIP with TWRP.

Good evening everyone unfortunately no atv 9 firmeware was accepted by the monster box "Magicsee ferro + amlogic s912 octa core, 3g 32g android 7.1 tv box 2.4g / 5.8g wifi support ota update lan 1000m bt4.1 media player 4k" ' same problem is a pure 64-bit box and ddr4 I tried a firmware atv 7 64 bits but still did not give an image even the firmeware completed successfully

This means that this module was compiled in a 32-bit kernel environment and cannot be loaded by a 64-bit kernel. The DTB contained in the ZIP update is also for 32-bit kernel architecture. In order for it to work, the kernel + module + DTB must be compiled together. These 3 components must be included in the update ZIP.

Thank you for clarifying, so whoever released the patch needs to compile using x64bit and it should work.....that would be awesome, unfortunately I don't know who made this patch, anyways it's not pressing for now can live with it.

I am lucky that my device still boots with 32bit patch.

I am trying this on 64bit android by HighwayStar , tried manually loading the module, I get error : failed to load openvfd.ko Exec format error
it's strange though that ir remote started but not the LED

Oh, I did not know about developer limits with publishing to the public. Just so happens my 3+ year old box died (bad volatage to the rom... I may repair it, but decided on another purchase. Moving on to a 2021 updated hardware Ugoos X3 Pro. I see a lot of development going on for the the newer boxes, but Ugoos seems to be the go to for base firmware developers tend to port. I guess i am getting lazy or is see better development with the mid priced boxes. Anywho, it was interesting and a bit aggravating with the S912.

• Check id script is in Init-d folder
• Make sure to enable scripts in: Device Preferences> Developer Options.
• Try running scripts.

Or try:
Dev:Brahner from 4pda
Start terminal, "to start manually, you need to load the module first.

insmod path / openvfd.ko

Check the running modules with the command:

lsmod

Everything is ok, run openvfdService "

Manual install may be better? V10.2 different than v10.4.
Do not use Slimbox update via system... does not work(?) properly.

Otherwise, I'll try to update when newer/fix made available.

@ppoon,

I'm not sure which BT chip you have, I think I posted 2 flash-able Bt drivers several pages back.. one might be helpful?

@X92-2GB,

lyubodelev requests personal E-mail for his firmware, he has stopped public posting for reasons(?).

I tested the AOSP rom on my H96pro+ 3G DDR4, everything works fine (wifi, lan, remote, 4k-2160 video..) and 3G ram was recongized except the bluetooth did not work. I tried to replace its libbt-vendor.so but still failed. Not sure if it also happened to mecool_bb2_pro. Hopefully can see the new update from syndrom42 soon..

[X92-2GB]

I tried to obtain a few firmwares that you recommend for LP h96 pro plus boxes. None of the links work based on slimbox ports. I guess they all are removed after a month or so.

Hey man, I am right where you are. Trying to move to slimbox, and am wanting atv, but prefer the non atv, as you can partially setup standard android to run with lean back functionality. May drop an install of 10.2 as I have made my box back to square 1. Fresh install of 7. And yes I can vouch the only way to drop 9 is to fresh install 7.

I guess I can install vastly rom, and let you know what it's like. I guess i can live with sync issues, but I can use MxPlayer pro for that. Not to worried about some audio sync issues. I can adjust on my receiver. Though I thought you can adjust in the audio menu on the box.
