HELP TANIX T8 MAX

Good morning,

I bought this box some time ago which still has Android 7. something.
I would like to update it with something newer. But I haven't found anything specific for this box here on the forum, so I would like some help from you on which ROM I should flash.
I don't know which WiFi chip my box has (there are two versions), but it has 3 GB / 32 Gb.
Mainly I'm interested in games, not Netflix or prime. In particular I would like to try the Dolphin emulator so I definitely need a 64bit rom.
Thank you for your help in advance.

E.

If it helps, I found this presentation on this forum:

[
TX8 MAX TV Box S912 Android 7 3/32GB Dual WiFi Gig Lan BT4


White clean looking unit, if you're into white that is.
White remote easy to find and different look good to see.



So lets have a look

Right above your Post is
Firmware/Roms/Tools

Thread by ReaperMan

Android Pie for S912
The OP has a plethora of Roms to Test

The main thing is to confirm Ram

LPDDR
DDR3
DDR4
SDRAM

there are many many variations in these boxes

Also make sure you research how to unbrick your Box before trying anything.

Thank you very much for your response.
Do you know an easy way to see what kind of RAM the box has? Or do I absolutely have to open it up look for the memory chip?

Thanks again!

There are apps for Android like
CPUZ
AIDA64
RAM TRUTH
HW INFO+

They are not always accurate

In Terminal there is dmesg

Best is to take box apart

If Box is same as images you posted
Look at Ram
Is SEC BCRC

Type in Big G search
SEC BCRC RAM

Looks like you have DDR4

Good luck

Happy Testing
