Unpacking \ Build firmware file
To unpack the firmware we need:
  • Firmware itself
  • imgRePacker from the header
  • Any programto extract the img file from ext4. I used MTwinTools since previously worked with her.

Unpacking
1 . Download the firmware for our console. The firmware itself has the form * .img. (In the example, I will use the official firmware 20150603)
2. Put the image in the D: \ Firmware directory
3. Unpack the PhoenixSuit firmware image (*. Img) using imgRePacker.
To do this, run the program specifying the full path to the firmware:
imgRePacker.exe D: \ Firmware \ SBQ-A0310-Smart-Box-Quad_20150603.img

Upon completion of unpacking, our unpacked firmware will be in the directory with the original image in the folder<name>.img.dump. (In our case:D: \ Firmware \ SBQ-A0310-Smart-Box-Quad_20150603.img.dump)
4. .fex files in the folder with the unpacked firmware, these are the corresponding images of the firmware sections in ext4. Therefore, we rename the section we need to .img (In our case, system.fex I renamed to system.img)
5. Unpack the ext4 image. I used MTwinTools.
  • Unpack the utility.
  • In the directory MTwinTools_v1.0 \ _In we put our system.img
  • Launch menu.bat
  • Select "5-Init Tools"
  • After initialization, we return to the main menu.
  • Next, select "2-System"
  • We select the action with the image: "5-unpack ext4" and our image "1-system" (Upon completion, you can exit the program)


The unpacked partition will be in MTwinTools_v1.0 \ Unpack \ system
6. We edit the section at our discretion.
It is recommended to register the rights for new files in the MTwinTools_v1.0 \ Unpack \ system_statfile.txt file

Assembly
After editing the firmware, we repeat everything in the reverse order.
1. Putting the partition image in ext4.
Launch menu.bat
Next, select "2-System"
Select an action with the image: "6-pack ext4"
Upon completion, our new image will lie MTwinTools_v1.0 \ Pack \ Image \ system.img
2. Copy system.img to the folder with the parsed PhoenixSuit image (in the example it is D: \ Firmware \ SBQ-A0310-Smart-Box-Quad_20150603.img.dump)
3. Rename system.img back to system.fex
4. We assemble the PhoenixSuit image (it is recommended to rename the native firmware image (.img) or the folder with the disassembled image before assembly):
imgRePacker.exe D: \ Firmware \ SBQ-A0310-Smart-Box-Quad_20150603.img.dump

Upon completion, you will receive a new firmware image through PhoenixSuit in D: \ Firmware \ SBQ-A0310-Smart-Box-Quad_20150603.img
5. We flash the PhoenixSuit image according to the official instructions.

Unfortunately, drivers are not installed on windows 10, but I really wanted to sit on the new firmware.



Rep: (317)
* tentacle_attack, windows 10 x86 or x64? Under x64 must be set with disabled signature verification.



Rep: (0)
Can, in principle, on this device torrent applications save files to a network drive?



Rep: (317)
* lis35, It depends on the torrent application. If the application can work with network drives, then the console should not be a problem.
And if you try on the other hand. Install samba client and connect the remote drive as a directory on the console? But only without root it is possible.

tentacle_attack, windows 10 x86 or x64? Under x64 must be set with disabled signature verification.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t help, it all the same looks out on the official forum in response you can only hear that there are no drivers, some do not have 7 and 8 and even XP, they say something like: "Windows is not licensed." In general, the attitude towards users is simply boorish, this is not a free product anyway.

At me on 7 x64 it was quite successfully updated, did not like it, returned back to the old one. Why all this if there is no root.

Tell me, how is DVB-T2 reception high-quality or? and can it be used as a router? Is there little discussion or the prefix is ​​rare or nobody buys?

Allwinner A31

A31s - A31 - 4K supports video, while A31s - only 2.5K, as described in the specifications. Here, not only the decoder is trimmed, but the memory bus is half as much as the A31.

1. This is a smart TV set-top box, not a digital television decoder. The antenna does not connect in principle.
2. It is possible, probably theoretically, if you put the application responsible for the access point.
3. The prefix is ​​rare.

I’m thinking about buying this device - the characteristics indicate the ability to play m2ts files.
There is a Panasonic camcorder, Samsung TV does not read these files.

At least in order for USB to work correctly

I think there will be no problems with the playback of formats, all the same, androids, a bunch of players. But if they asked me, I would buy something more popular, for which there are at least third-party firmware.
The speed of work upsets every time, even after elementary actions, you have to constantly unload everything from memory.

I bought this box.
First impressions - the android is the android. Remote control - torment. It works at a distance of two meters and you have to aim at the box.
Actually, because of what I bought it - playback m2ts, reproduces, but ..
On the video files I checked, there is constant intermittent playback, where there is movement. And on m2ts, and on regular 1080 films the size of 12-20 gigabytes.
The same films on Samsung TV are played smoothly.
I updated the firmware, set up the players ..
I will think



Rep: (9)
and not only remote torment. The whole device is torment. regretted that he had bought. it is better to pay extra and take apple tv 4.the first device on android and such a disappointment. I sell it to anyone. Moscow

How to assemble and disassemble the firmware seems to be understandable, but how and how to register the root in system.img? If not hard to poke your nose?

it is better to pay extra and take apple tv 4.

It is better to take the omnivorous Dune, but not apple.
Also bought a Rombica Smart Box Quad, just for fun, compare with Dune. Very disappointed. I have different Dunes and one Apple TV 4.
Remote control - torment. It works at a distance of two meters and you have to aim at the box.

It works at a distance of 1.2 meters exactly, no more.
The reason is that they made the case out of black plastic, and the reception sensor is not behind the glass, but behind the case made of plastic.
Read from here -remote controland further.
I opened this box, brought the receiver out, it works at a distance of 5 meters without a case. I did not try further.
But it is clear that this is an obvious cant of Rumbiki. For the prefix to work, you need to disassemble it and lose the warranty. Disgusting in one word.
Fortunately, the price allows you to spit on the guarantee. But Rumbik will not advise anyone to buy now.
