How to flash
1. From the archive with the firmware we get the files and throw them on the SD card or on the USB flash drive.
. Sample file set
. hd18t-20140414-12252013-m6-dvbt2.zip
. factory_update_param.aml
. recovery.img
2. insert the card or USB flash drive into the animal.
3. Next, two ways.
3.1. In the first we go on the way all apps select “update” then “local update”
Next, select the archive with the firmware *******. Zip and sew. - In this method, it suffices to *******. zip file.
3.2. The second way is that you plug a small object out of the socket of the animal into the AV socket until it clicks.
(match, toothpick, etc.) and power up after that you remove the match - the firmware will start.
We are waiting for the end and rejoice.

If receivedbrick and nothing helps you, then look here - detailed instructions for recovery using the UART.

for those who want to roll back - and if it does not work by date or gland, we lookHERE

getting Root
Taken from here -getting Root
How to get RTH (root), a device based on AML8726-M6 (MX) OS 4.2.2

1. Downloading the file (thanks to the Mersey guys)

utoo-root-signed.zip

2. Copy it to a regular usb-stick (memory card - may not be seen by the system) under the FAT file system. FAT32, probably even NTFS

3. Insert the USB flash drive into any port of the device

4. In the application menu, we find UPGRADE / UPDATE

5. There we choose where to get the update (flash drive)

6. The device will reboot and voila.

Well, after we setRoot explorerWe give him rights and we can watch everything and everywhere.

Instructions, as well as problems and solutions
How to get to Recovery.
1 way. - plugging the M-BOX out of the socket through the AV connector, plugging the toothpick in until it clicks and turning on the power .
2 way. - from the system using the Rebooter program (available in custom firmware and need Root).
3 way. -
Editing channels (programs) - thank * lucky555

On the remote, click "Menu" - then Section Program - Program Edit - password Enter 0000 - move through the channels - select the desired one - press OK for a long time - figure it out :)

Hmm, it's an idea ... I forgot about it completely.

I forgot about it completely

and how to read? friends?
it is given to you in my archive!
Example:

>>restore nandroid backup box with bootsdcard & cwm

1) first prepare sdcard with amlogic sdcardmaker.exe !!! ->flash u-boot_XXX.bin

2) add folders to sdcard: "/ clockworkmod / backup /<name-of-bak-folder>/<unziped-files-of-bak>"(* .Img, * .tar, * .log, * .md5)

3) add clockworkmod recovery.img to sdcard & plug sdcard into box.

4) if box can not boot from sd by button: hold pins shorted while pluging in power cable. (Of nand's crtl ic, it has only 8 pins, if you can read text, short no. 5,6)

5) select in recovery ->restore-><name-of-bak-folder>->yes, wait ~ max 30min. Error can be ignord.

6) if this do not work for you, you have to connect box with uart to PC. Login uboot and enter "nand erase whole"

how to read?

We all learned ... Slowly. Anything and somehow =)
This cheat sheet so far I have discovered. But I apparently misunderstood the second point - made only empty folders ...
in excuse and that they throw something? because there is no more backup ... or I could create it Online_Nandroid_Backup-th?
Tried SDcardMaker too, pointed to bin - did not work, as far as I could understand these characters, because they are not crying. Signs have been ...
More thought could flash the native firmware, setting a number of other rekaveri file (as long as it did not try)

And another question - a little about the firmware - where the channel list? And how it can be saved? The menu has a Knoop DVPleera for this, after-press box says that OK, everything is preserved, but that's only where it is not visible. Any USB-stick or SD-card on there's nothing o_O

all actions with firmware in my unit only work with SD cards with all available USB ports (pancake passed secret secret: blush:).

And one more question

mnu DVB player writes the list of channels as USB-Stick, and on the SD-card, the fact that stuck. filessuch.

Yeah, so, too, in the attic there. It seems that here itMethod 1 by Ramos
Option for в„–2 - most likely, the formatting (figured at random: if you do not put psisu - offers no formatting).
In step в„–3 not quite sure - in the archive file u-boot_EM6-DVB-S2.bin. It pointed out. Or it is necessary for something else?
Where else the picture was that this card should have a section in the 16MB (I think) from the front. So, it is ...
But in the crib written more about what may have to wait. Up to 30 minutes. And that's what I did, I confess. Hotz also faster)) I waited a little, about 10-15 minutes. Now I spotted and will not be less than 30, honest pioneer! )

The list of channels I, too, have been met -hereI went;) And sought, therefore, the same. No, yes ... But do not rule, nor its essno krivorukost nor Krivoglaz - boom bitstsya more =)

u-boot_EM6-DVB-S2.bin ->u-boot.bin just rename.

I put the April after June. I did not want to get involved. It turned out only through rekaveri, click Update from ext (in my so-called). Gluck with decreasing size of the television image left.



Rep: (3)
tried to April and May, all ok, except that the Russia-1 and 24, it seems our box does not work not able to support firmware multiPLP, only SinglePLP.

I still work with firmware 2013, I bought. Moscow.

MSCs in broadcasting in this SinglePLP have everything up and running ... and those who have in the regions multiPLP - those troubles

thanks, I already guessed



Rep: (26)
Again a question multiPLP I thought that the essence of it is that on the same frequency vpihano multiple channels. I am wrong?
Second who tried the latest firmware as work?
I have at the May (finally) to catch and display all 20 channels. Only two small shoal
- if you leave the player with the TV and start another application and then the TP player gives no pictures or sound only information about the channel
- when viewing TV channels present rare (approximately every few minutes) or not less than one second rare hang
At the moment, the best thing that could give a box.

if only because it is a single PLP.
Multi PLP in more groups of channels have a different ID. and here is one id and shows the rest does not take, I do not know how.

well, the definition of the other. sources.
DVB-T2 standard defines multiple profiles. Type A: single-input, i.e., mono-PLP and type B: a multithreaded input, i.e. multi-PLP. In multi-PLP mode, a PLP fragmented over time.

By the way in Moscow, Kazan and Khabarovsk -singl PLP.

in the sense? - DVB T2 - the same is transmitted over the air.
if you mean the usual TV which has "a hundred years". then this console does not accept them.
