[ROM] Mod: HK1 X3 / H96 max X3 / VONTAR X3 / Transpeed X3 Air / Bqeel Y8 Max (Amlogic S905X3)

If someone wants to run Armbian (Linux) from an sd card you can download the folder from here : https://mega.nz/folder/A5kmDZAC#6t5FO2NUlIr-070EsGtfPA
There is a PDF file inside with step by step instructions.
As this was made after requests from users of the Russian site 4pda, please disregard links to the Russian versions of my custom rom (obviously you don't need them).

From day 1 when I installed the rom. It worked ok on other box (A95x). Yesterday a play services update popped up on the screen and now works fine. I had the same problem on the H96max x2 boxes. More of a problem with this brand than the rom I think.

As I told you I never had a problem with it (and of course I have the same box and same rom as you ). So something else is the problem.
Anyway did you go to "Playstore-Settings-Version number" and click upon it 7-8 times to become a developer (as I have said so many times)?

I never had a problem with it. Did you and when?

Hello.is any working rom for A95 F3 air s905x3?ty

You can try if you want, as did others (i.e. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/r...#post-84073807).
Please see the note at my 1st post at 1st page of this thread.
Also I suggest you to know the 2 pins which are needed to short in case you brick it (although I don't think this is very probable in this case), before you do anything.

I don't remember if I said that before, but if you want to be able to "copy/paste" in your browser (and even play some more formats of video in it) download the following version of Chrome.
And NEVER let it be updated !!!!

And as right now another user informed me, he installed my custom rom to his X96 Air P2 and everything seems to be OK

And since we have start discussing about the hardware of our boxes, just recently I found out that Vontar X3 has exactly the same Board as HK1 Box !!
All of these boards are marked as "HK1" and all of them seem to have exactly the same production date "05-11-2019".
Some of the Vontar boxes have a serious problem (2 leds on and not able to load the firmware - or UBT stops at 7%). This may happen even on 1st use
It seems that there is no such problem to HK1 Box (luckily for all of us that have this box ).

I don't own such a box but I was aware of its feedback, as at some time I was thinking of buying one. As you can see from my previous post I even helped some people revive their boxes.
According to the information/feedback of users H9 S905X3 :
- All (???) of the boxes have 2GB instead of 4G !!!!!
- Some even have 1GB instead of 4 GB !!!!!!!!!!
- There are reports that in some cases instead of 64GB there is only 32GB !!
- It may be that if you have Samsung memory chip it is 2GB and if it is Nynix only 1 GB. If you open your box you can find the memory chips and through its type find in Internet how much memory you really have.

If you recently bought that box, I think your best option is to open a dispute for a full refund or at least a partial refund (at least 50% if your memory is 2 instead of 4). If it is 1GB I think you should ask for a full refund.
But even if you have long ago bought this box, I think you should open a dispute anyway. This is not a problem of malfunction or something else but a simple case of deception/scam etc (you may choose the right word yourself). The firmware that is preinstalled reports that it has 4GB instead of 2 or even 1 !!!!What more proof of a known false description of a product ..........

Ok thanks I wondered why the box isnt acting as good as my HK1 Play S905x2 with 4GB! Now I know. Just opened case @PayPal. Could you hel me out with finding chips`? Gonna post pic here..no gonna open another thread , maybe you could contribute? My H9x3 fake too, 32GB inside instead of 64GB! Could not find RAM chips...

And as I suggested to another forum, here is a very good application with which you can control the TVbox (any TVbox !!!) from your Smartphone.

1. My version from 05/05/2020 is called "AndroidRemote.v3.5n.apk".

2. You can find it in the Play Store under the name "Android Box Remote over Wi-Fi" or "Pub: Phan Duc Danh".

3. You must install it in your smart phone and TV box.

4. They must be connected to the same Wi-Fi.

5. After launching the apk on your smartphone, you must click the "Search" button to find your TVbox.

There is voice search, touchpad, keyboard, d-pad and almost everything you may need !!!
