Hello all,
I recently acquired one of these devices. Being a seasoned Amlogic developer, I see there isn't much documentation here on this device. Because of this, I am creating this place marker for others. Updates to come as soon as it arrives.
There are plenty of images already for this device. Maybe I will compile a few more for everyone too. :)
Images:
tahir2007pk has been kind enough to post his images here for us.
Flashing:
Over the past week I have familiarized myself with the device and flashing. Fortunately, there just isn't a good tutorial for any of it. I will be adding procedures for updating, upgrading, downgrading, changing out E2, etc. etc. in just a little bit. Need to compile all of my documentation first.
Fixes:
Ok so some of you may have installed beta versions of ATV8 on NAND (eMMC) and noticed that various things no longer worked such as loosing the dual boot feature, Enigma2 or Media Center no longer working, etc.
To regain dual boot, you may need to re-enable the Enigma2 in Settings, and also for the MAC.
However, this may not fix the Enigma2 partition.
To Fix:
-
- Burning an image to an SD-CARD (none images found for U5 Mini deluxe, just for other models) using win32diskimager under windows on a PC. The card is next inserted back into the player.
This should result in E2 to be run from that SD-Card! - - Doing an update via a script installed on an USB stick or SD-Card. This script is run when the (Green) button is pressed during the Google Menu boot-display choice for Android (Red) or E2 (Blue) at boot time. The front display will show MENU then. UPDT is shown on the front display next. This procedure installs E2 to the internal flash memory.
Using method 2 , with a low capacity FAT32 formatted USB drive, unzip an emmc version of Enigma2 on to it.
Disconnect Ethernet and boot. You should see a pop-up window with the "ofgwrite Flashing Tool" appear with a progress bar and the final success after completion.
After the next boot, the (Blue) button should be functional again.
