Kinhank G1

correct.
hungphutho rom flashed 100%. and batch file applied. Everything as is. But the box is still stuck.

x-killer suggested using Ugoos X4 FW, but he didn’t tell me which version.

and you suggest me to downgrade the bootloader. I understand that it is downgraded when the box was updated to the latest version. But my box got stuck in May 2024. The OTA version was not out yet. If I’m not mistaken, it came out in October.

Ok
Try one more time with hungphutho
Follow tutorial on/from post 695 in this thread
Just use the jump function.
After 100% flash wait until reads as flash complete, can be 10 secs or longer

You can find ugoos x4q firmware at ugoos site?
Or if familiar with slimboxtv ru site it is posted there.

Guide to downgrade bootloader
Use jump function to post 788,link is there to tutorial

Questions:

Is there any problem if I flash hungphutho on win11?

What version of ugoos x4 do you recommend using?

Downgrade the bootloader, is it only used if you have updated to the latest version of the box?

1 Should be No problem with win 11 as long as you follow guide.

2 Ugoos X4Q Extra … it must have S905X4-j
Not 100% sure of this

3.No, can also be used when have bricked your Box. to recover

That’s right, it’s the Ugoos X4Q Extra.
What version of firmware do I use? The latest or something in between?

Were you able to downgrade the bootloader?

It was difficult for hungphutho, I can’t imagine what happened to me.

Try the latest for X4Q extra, then reflash hungphutho FW.

In the AML manual for XQ4, they check “erase bootloader”. My question is: should it be checked or unchecked?

No, (erase bootloader) should be unchecked.

After flashing the X4Q Extra firmware, DV8910 still can bootable?

Where are you getting this info? If you don’t overwrite the locked bootloader that comes from the new firmware how would you expect CE to magically work from it?

You are using wrong version of Aml_USB_Burn_Tool. The instructions that @hungphutho wrote for updating G1 the version that should be used is v.3.2.8. In this version there is no option “Erase Bootloader” like in v.3.2.0. It has the option “Verify Bootloader”, and this option should be unchecked.

There is no option “Erase Bootloader” in Aml_USB_Burn_Tool_v.3.2.8 which should be used according to instructions by @hungphutho.

Yep, that’s why I told him to follow (Hungphutho) steps of installation.

£38 :thinking: is this box still a good buy?

90% under 4.9NG all rev SoCs a-b-d (ap6275p wifi chip)
Have the same driver issue (drops Wi-Fi and crashes freezing on video playback)
But that never happens with 5.4NE
Mine is rev b- so I rely on wired connection

yeah,i just try for fun. [HELP]SEI810CPR / SK410AX / SK410D firmware | XDA Forums s905x4+ap6275pr3+android10 is rare.but still exist. just as you say,this team is not stable,and this is why it is rare. :rofl:

How much is the difference with boxes like G2_ R4Plus? I would pay more and get that for CE, unless you want the box for ATV only then it’s Okish.
So, I would say not worth it anymore for CE.
And as the saying goes (buy cheap, buy twice)
SEI team golden autograph :rofl:

if you don’t need FEL (or DV?) then get the TOX3 instead

if you want the best all rounder but sacrifice on slight speed then the homatics

You’ll get an extra £5 off because it’s over £69, so you basically comparing the Kinhank at £36.03 (£1 for the UTAG cable) to the homatics at £60

I’ve not seen it get as low as that for the homatics. we still have the anniversary sale coming (3 weeks) but I’d be surprised it’s much lower

the extra money you’re spending is not having to deal with wifi issues and updates plus bug fixes. hungphutho the only person except Team CoreELEC have stopped posting about this box, so you are gambling if it even works, hdmkv an experienced user with countless boxes gave up and just kept it as an android player.

It won’t even be “buy cheap buy twice” it would be buy cheap then buy the actual product you was supposed to that will work since I won’t want to risk asking for a refund for items. it has been known them refusing, you might have to pay your own money to send back. The KinHanks G1 has left a sour taste in my mouth. someone kill it already

No. It gets stuck.
And then you have to flash hungphutho fw to get it back to the state it was in.
In my case, eternal boot screen.
