Yes I think that’s how it works. I will check with the next box which should arrive and I will immediately try to put the custom fw of @hungphutho
How do you plan to check the box without booting it?
DONT CHECK ANYTHING - UPGRADE TO HUNGPHUTHO FW by following his process STRICTLY

Yes that’s what I meant of course I’m not going to check anything at all
Have you been able to try the box with Coreelec and Android TV? is everything working fine for you now?
Sure. All is OK
People will start to receive more updates devices precisely because some return them after updating. So the re-enter the commercial circuit.

Yep, and other cheapo devices from our beloved friends SEI Robotics- AKA Homatics can also get poached, like the recent forced ATV14 update

Ahhhhhrrrggggrrrrrrr (ah ah ah) (*&?%$#"! This seem to be the new commercial way : we buy the device but its not our device and its still property of the seller Brand…they will decide for us what use we would make of it or not according to their own desire as Apple does for example with its technologically outdated devices… soon we will be told what time we can use it and possibly loan it this is why there will always be users who refuse this principle and use “sideloaders”

@hungphutho, I don’t seem to have the option to pm you, is there any chance you could send me a link to your custom firmware for the G1 please?
He already sent the link in this thread… you must read the posts somewhere in half or 2/3 thread
I’ve had a good read through the whole thread yesterday and found mention of a YouTube video but after clicking through the video wasn’t available anymore.
I don’t remember seeing an actual link posted in the thread but I may have missed it though, I’ll have another look.
If anyone else can point me in the right direction to access or link to the custom G1 firmware I’d appreciate it.
Update - Found the link, post 493 and still active to download for anyone wanting the custom firmware.
Thanks.

I buy device/boxes ONLY to use with CE. I NEVER use the Android side ever on many boxes. (~8)

Hi, im new to all this, it seems the video you made is down? I just got the G1 and would like to try the software you made, thanks
you need an usb-a to usb-a cable first. The procedure is the same as any other amlogic ROM updating videos, exept that at the and you must execute some cmd commands. it is important too to use the correct version of the amlogic burning tool.
Not sure if that was a reply to what i wrote, i was hoping hungphuto would reply and tell me where to get the software he wrote and how to apply it.
As written, see post #493
Yeah thanks, got it now. It should be installed to an SD card right ? The short tutorial doesn’t mention that, and the tutorial links i cant open. If so, how should the SD card be formatted before inserting into the g1 ?
Maybe You have to read and understand a little bit more about Firmware:
Short instruction:
Install “V3_setup_V3.2.8.exe” on a Win PC
Load “dv8910-hungphutho-v1.img” to Burning Tool
UNCHECK “Verify Bootloader” BOX !!!
Connect G1 with USB_A to USB_A cable to PC (use 2nd USB port away from uSD card port)
Press and hold Reset button and apply power to G1.

Yes i know that i dont know enough, im just gathering info for now, i bought the box but havent fired it up yet as i understand that it will try to install an update that will close the bootloader, i just wish that YouTube video hadn’t been taken down, maybe a new one will be uploaded, thanks for your time.
