Reason for editing: Amlogic device firmware manual from Ugoos website

[mihadom]

Bought such a device for a gift.
Equipment

The task was to make it sound better than TV, Internet TV, Internet radio, playback from a flash drive video. In general, it sounds better than TV. There is a simple equalizer on the remote, the truth about its modes can only be guessed, the TV does not show the status of the equalizer on the TV screen, I did not find it either. With WiFi, he quickly closed up while he was testing, holding dead, there were no dumps. LOL.TV, worked quickly, without lags, reproduced by the stock player, MX player, everything works fine. A little later, I began to hang on a bit, I did not immediately react to the console, apparently there was not enough memory. It will be necessary to find the firmware for him lightweight. Market in the firmware works. I will test and look for how to facilitate his memory. In general, an interesting structure.

Amlogic device firmware manual from Ugoos website

[Vasily_5]

mihadomAnd how can you get the firmware from the seller. And then on the manufacturer's website.http://www.videostrong.com/index.html
There is such a modelhttp://www.videostrong.com/app/list.php?tid=28No firmware.

[mihadom]

Vasily_5 @ 12.02.18, 15:54

you can get some firmware from the seller

I'll try to do something.

[Vasily_5]

mihadom, I found a Box on Amlogic s905, but now I need to find out what chipset is on this soundbar.
This can be determined to have factory firmware.
There is also such an option you can try to raise the UGOOS AM2 firmware.
http://ugoos.net/AM2-8gb-Amlogic-S905
The parameters are very similar.
The only thing that will not work antenna receiver Dvb T.

Vasily_5,
I unsubscribed to the seller and the manufacturer in those support. Let's see who will answer.

[rusnakov]

I also have such a box, sometimes the wired network falls off. It just disappears, even from the settings, despite the fact that the cable is inserted into the soundbar. It is treated by rebooting the soundbar with a preliminary shutdown of WiFi. RAM and internal memory is very small, when you try to view the 4K video, MX player just crashes. The T2 TV works without problems, the sound of the soundbar is like, loud, bass. (100% better than the TV). But software chat let us down ... It will be interesting to update software, or spit it out and forget ???

Most likely there is no hope for the manufacturer. I wrote where I could, so that at least a stock firmware would be given. Already a month waiting for an answer. All hope for a forum. Many firmwares from numerous clones should be suitable for ours.

[rusnakov]

How are things going with your LAN network? Does it fall off?

[mihadom]

doing business with a free LAN network? Does it fall off?

I'm in the air. Dumps are not observed.

[Vasily_5]

mihadomYou did not try to put the firmware above, you were given a link to ugoos.

[rusnakov]

try when stock firmware will be. So that the potential corpse could be revived / I think it’s necessary to look towards -LibreelecK1 Plus DVB-S2 / T2 [Android] (Post zonder33 # 56481857)for a very similar TV box Mecool K2 pro, also with a T2 TV tuner. And as if nothing threatens the soundbar in terms of software, if libreelec starts up - fine, if not - that's okay, you can use stock firmware. I'll find a free microSD card.

rusnakov, First of all, do Backup all systems through twrp recovery. That's when you can play.
Here for your processor, you can download the file Recovery twrp.
Videostrong / Acemax KIII [Android] (Post Vasily_5 # 63690792)
It may even build two messages above is also suitable for your processor.

I think the soundbar is generally implemented separately not dependent on the firmware and the Android system.
Open did not try.
It's just very interesting how they chew there. Naturally there should be a separate amplifier through it is output to the speakers.

It's obvious. By "soundbar" meant the device as a whole.I tried to disassemble, it did not work out. I do not understand how to disassemble, but I do not want to chuck into the brazen. It seems that the body in addition to the 4 screws still latches or glue is assembled.Disassembled. Inside are two separate boards. TV box board with DVB T / C / T2 demodulator + board with D class amplifier. Two speakers (extreme) are connected to the same chip amplifier in stereo mode. Two middle speakers and a passive radiator are connected to the second amplifier in the N-bridge mode (most likely as a subwoofer). The case of aluminum profile, the extreme speakers are separated by partitions. Please do not use photos, I plan to make a review on this box.

You did not try to install the firmware above

Did not have time. Took a gift. Not enough time to experiment. Already gave it. The truth is all the same, all the gadgets from my friends and acquaintances, on me, I am stitching, customizing them and so on. I put the launcher on it more conveniently, deleted a couple of unnecessary applications, put what I needed. I tested a couple of days, everything worked flawlessly. So he gave.

But in this soundbar installed Android 5.1 is an old version of course.
Well, it works without any lags as Torrent-TV pulls.

[rusnakov]

Torrent tv pulls, all sorts of LazyIPTV, HD videodox, LOL tv work fine. But 4K video for some reason pulls with tension, there are MX player crashes, most likely from a lack of RAM. After disassembly, I glued a larger radiator to the processor, otherwise my own one is quite small. Now it is easier to stay with temperature. And then basked during long work up to 80 degrees

how it works at all without lags as torrent tv pulls.

Out of the box was bad. Freeze, hang. After removing unnecessary applications, replacing the launcher with a lighter one, and suitable for my needs, three days of testing went well.

[steel_major]

Guys, how do you use DVB T2? I have written in the manual “select the DVB-T2 icon”, but there is no such icon ... Through KODI (aka TVCenter), as I understood it, only watch IPTV, but something also does not work out yet.
