NEW - Finless ROM 2.0 - KitKat 4.4.2 for AP6210 wifi - BETA

[noderat]

Thats why I'm so confused. They can't get any boot regardless of kernel.. AFAIK video output to lcd0 or lcd1 is in the kernel so that's out...

Sounds like you got a clone knock off that somewhat fubared.

My wifi chip is definitely an AP6210 and MK908 V5.0 is printed on the MOBO. Could it be something to do with the recovery file? I think I remember something to do with the recvovery file being different and stopped finless 1.7 from working on my device, but once Bob updated his rom it installed fine ?

Good News Bad News

Iv'e come across this rom which is specifically for the Mk908v5:

The good news is it boots (to a point)
The bad new is it gets stuck at the Google TV logo. Iv'e tried rebooting several times but gets stuck at the same point?
I'm not sure why this Rom works and others don't. Maybe it can be incorporated into Finless' KK rom? I cant be the only person on here with a V5

Thanks

Frankly its sounds like a dud since it should be booting.

Bad or wrong boot screens can halt a boot but we already know finless work so iam guessing it time to send that back for a working replacement.

But Finless 1.8 works perfectly every time I flash it to my device? I think it's just MK908V5 has specific needs?

This works fine on my 2 mk908 v5 and is better than any finless rom all the finless everything ive tried freeze consistently 1.7 ,1.8,and the finless kit kat but this rom doesnt freeze or screen flick ,problem is not rooted i use 4.2.2 oversees that came originally because its the only rom that doesnt freeze all the time one tv had to set to 720p cuz of flickering tho id never buy tronsmart anything anymore had a gbox2 that never froze and was hassle free tronsmart is a hassle

[Magnus33]

Tronsmart fine but with so many clones on the market you never know if a seller got the real thing.

I gotten a UG007II once which clearly had nothing to do with the company so back it went.

The true problem is even when a companys good and honest clones can get shipped to them.
With the outside looking like the real thing they can understandably be forgiven for not knowing.

The good companies have a decent return policy so getting them replaced tends not to be too hard.

For me, that rom I linked to either get's stuck at the Google TV logo or gets stuck in recovery? How did you flash that rom onto your MK908?
Finless 1.8 has never froze on me and doesn't screen flicker? I'm just dying to get on to KK and hopefully overclock my cpu/ram a bit.
If I can get that far I'll be landed lol

Thanks

I used the batchtool that came with the rom in the zip file and it flashed fine on both mk908 v5 so im thinking u may have clone.the 2 i bought were manufacturer refurbed from a u.s. distributor with refurbed written on box from tronsmart.im hoping and figuring tronsmart is putting a lot of time in releaseing the full not beta version of the kit kat rom and all will be happy so like me wait for full kit kat release from tronsmart.as far as overclocking unless your video editing i think what it runs at is overkill already the gbox2 i had was a dual core and would do anything i thru at it.

The reason for the overclock is for retroarch to play fluidly and I think my Mk908 is a beelink. Perhaps thats why I maybe having issues?

I have since flashed that rom a few more times but I seem to be stuck in recovery mode everytime now?

[menno2000]

Disconnect power, hold down reset button (usually hidden in one of the holes) and reconnect power. Wait until the flashing tool says Loader connected.

Thanks for the advice but I have no problem getting into flash mode, it's whenever I flash a rom I get stuck at the first boot screen. I used to be able to get back to Fineless 1.8 fine but since last night I cant even get back past the boot screen of that?
