T-R42 - wasser firmware - JB Android 4.2.2

[bill-ns]

Hello.

I`m back to firmware 1.2.4 because this firmware has a problem - I use them a week and now have problem with sd card and wifi and player was more hot then normally.

I have noticed that v1.2.5 on my v1.0 does seem to run a bit warmer (on 24/7), but certainly not hot in my case. Nothing I'm concerned about.

Re: T-R42 - wasser firmware

Hi Wasser,
my cs918 verison: RK3188-t 1.6ghz , b351 BT (wifi chip 8723)
now im using wasser version 1.2.5, everything is fine except dark/black screen problem~

i can't use 720p even 50z or 60z, many sparkle in the screen and dark/black screen for 1 second repeatly. youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SI-5...ature=youtu.be
So i get better result at 1080p, but the dark/black screen for 1 second occasionally, can i fix it?
is there any solution to solve the dark/black screen and fix mac address? thank you very much ~

Which kernel have you flashed?

There are specific kernels for 720p & 1080p, rather than trying running a 720p kernel at 1080p and vice versa.

What refresh rate is your TV capable of?

Each TV has a set specification at which it can refresh the screen, typically 50hz. This can not be exceeded. The white dots dashing about the screen are image refresh synchronisation / timing errors caused by too high refresh rate or interference on poor connection / cable.

Hello.

1.2.5 firmware is running at 1.6ghz cause it removes 3188t freq. restrictions so its running hotter but its faster than 1.2.4 which is running at 1.4ghz. On 1.2.5 you get almost 19k in antutu benchmark, on 1.2.4 around 17k.
Some 3188t chips might become unstable and have problems at frekv. higher than 1.4ghz, in that case its better to use 1.2.4 firmware.

If you already flashed 1.2.5 and found that your device is unstable at 1.6ghz, you could download an app called "Trickster mod kernel settings" and set the cpu back to 1.4ghz, save a lot of time instead of reflash.

@wasser, do you have a plan to fix the issue with the recovery soon?? haven't heard from you for a while. Currently we bricked our device on 1.2.5 when we tried to boot into recovery. possible issue with the rom, not the recovery itself since we tried 1.2.4 and cwm recovery with same issue. Thanks.

1.2.5, 1080 and OC kernel

Hi, I just installed 1.2.5 old-rev rom and 1080 kernel.

I'm quite loving it and thinking of flashing it on my new model as well.

1) On Settings - Display, I see there are no options for 1080p, only for 720p.
Is it because of my TV ? it's 37 inch.

2) the OC kernels, they are under the rom version 1.2.4 on the first post, will they also
work on version 1.2.5 ? (new/old ?)

Thanks !!!

[tashkas]

as i see, this firmware still cant work normal with 1080i internet video streams and something wrong with keyboard, on stock firmware, numbers were working on default keyboard, on this one it don't work how to fix it? that means rockchip cant handle 1080I???? Archos video player crashes on it. why do i get capped one file upload via ftp to 30mb its ftp server default or firmware capped?

I did the same thing ... Reload 1.2.4

Hello buhohitr,

I tested this and it does cause problems ...
I reloaded 1.2.4 T-R42 Old version which works fine ...
Then, I reloaded the 1.2.5 T-R42 Old version and it is working again ...

This does NOT seem to effect the K-R42 Version only the T-R42 old

Hello buhohitr,

I tested this and it does cause problems ...
I reloaded 1.2.4 T-R42 Old version which works fine ...
But after that I can NOT load 1.2.5 T-R42 old version any more ...
So I am stuck on 1.2.4 old t-r42 until Wasser can fixes the issue ...
This does NOT seem to effect the K-R42 Version only the T-R42 old

But You would have the Player working again ...

Michael T.

Are you having a problem loading the .img files using the RKAndroidTool? I think it was timeout errors I was seeing... I ended up having to reload the stock firmware with the RKBatchTool. After than I was able to go back to 1.2.5 again.

No ...

Hello Bill-ns,

I have no issues flashing ... that all works fine ...
it just will not boot 1.2.5 with the NEW system t-r42 old anymore ..

Then I reload the 1.2.5 t-r42 old version 1080p and it is working fine again ...

I had 1.2.5 T-r42 working fine until I went into recovery and the selected restart from the recovery menu ... then every thing stop working ... I had to Reload the Firmware to get the system back ...

thanks

Little info to flash wasser firmware

Hi,

As you can see I registered to this forum today. I've been studying this thread for 3 days now (since I am waiting to get my T-R42 from geekbuying). Mainly I want to use the box for XBMC with 1080p.

I just need to know two thing,

1. Do I only need this :
firmware without kernel for B351_V2.0 :
http://www.freak-tab.de/wasser/firmw...sser-1.2.5.zip

2. and (steps to follow: when I get the T-R42 recognized in windows I open RKAndroidTool.exe and just hit Run)?

or do I need to know something else?

thank you for your support wasser and everyone
