mk809iii or mk906? - Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers

I recently purchased a tv stick from China. The case is identified as mk809iii. But when I got to setup and the "about device" screen, it says the model is mk906 and so is the firmware. Can I safe to assume this is really a mk906? So if I want to update the firmware, I should look for mk906 software?
Another problem I have is I can't install drivers in to my Window 7 pc. I think I am supposed to push the reset button and insert a connected usb cable into the pc and the tv stick will get recognized. I made many trials without success. Are there any other method to install the drivers?

Have top open it up and check out the PCB layout and WiFi chip. I have a RK3066 that was sold as a MK906 but really a MK802iiis b.

Great idea!. I guess it is a mk906 since Netxeon_MK906_V2.0 is printed on the circuit board. How do I go about finding the new firmware?

[Q] Anyone find a Serial Console yet?

I'm trying to find a serial console, hopefully to access u-boot, but I'm not having any luck.
I found 4 possible candidates on the main board.
JP1 is near the WiFi card and has mostly 3.3v on the lines.
JLTE1 is near the power LED, and has 3.3v on 2 of the lines.
JLTE2 is hidden under the front camera cable, and also has 3.3v on one of the lines.
Last is JP6, which is near the 3G connector, and also has 3.3v on 1/2 the lines.
-- dag nabit, can't post images yet --
I've hooked a scope up to all pins of these jumpers during boot and reboot, as that's when most of the serial console/kernel output would occur. But no luck.
So, has anyone found a serial console on the TPT? (or a schematic?)
Thanks!
I'm also looking for a serial port. Have you already checked the Dock connector? I think there is a chance that Lenovo made it on this port.
I have opened my Dock yesterday and also found some unpopulated PCB pads which are for HDMI.
Thanks!
Duh! I forgot about the dock connector, as I don't have a dock. Can you take a pic of the PCB? I'll order a dock, kinda handy anyway...
BTW, I also tried a USB/mini-PCIe adapter in the 3G slot. The kernel recognized the USB stick as /dev/sda, but would not mount it. So if you have root, you might want to make a mount point and rule for something like this.
Here's a cheap source for hardware:
www hwtools net slash Adapter slash PM3U dot html
The microSD option has potential, too. Make sure you get the USB, not the PCI versions. (As I'm pretty sure the PCI functionality is not available here.)
Someone harvasted a 3g mini pci modem from a lenovo laptop and installed it. The HC os had the drivers and the modem was recognized.
Yes, Ihave an Ericsson F5521GW 3G modem here. The tablet and Android recognize it and prompt me for a SIM card, which I don't have.
If you want it, I can mail it to you...
The mini-PCIe adapter for USB and microSDHC work fine. You just need to be root to mount them.
Don't know if this would help you guys or not
If you are looking for a serial output I have a http://www.g2microsystems.com/products/RN_270.
Basically it's a bluetooth to serial adapter. I use it on my phones and tablets with a free app called bluterm to connect to Cisco equipment with. Its pretty cool but pricey (work sprang for it).
There are a lot of different brands of these adapters (I had one from http://www.aircable.net as well that worked good).
Thanks Karl, but I'm looking to gain access to the u-boot loader. I want to hijack the boot and make it boot Linux off of the micro-sdhc card (installed in the 3G slot). Ideally I'll have it dual-boot.
I have a Trim-Slice PC on the way. It's also a Tegra-2, so theoretically, I can develop on Trim-Slice, save on micro-sd and boot from there.
However, those are some cool devices I could use for other projects. Thanks for the links!

Sorry for my late response. I have taken some pictures and uploaded them to rapidshare. I cannot post the link here so I will send you a pm
Wow, thanks for taking the time to do that!
BTW, it seems the rapid-charger cable is not available any more?
Found some dock details here: http rootzwiki com topic 8523-reverse-engineering-the-dock-charger
So, i finally got the dock. No luck in finding the console.
I disassembled the dock, and probed both the 20 pins that are soldered through the board and the 40 pins on the inter-board connector.
As root I did a "cat /dev/urandom > /dev/ttyS0" to generate output, but no luck. I did find the audio and microphone lines. (/dev/ttyS0 is defined as console on the kernel boot parameter line.)
There must be a RTS/CTS line that needs to be enabled...? Or perhaps it's simply not passed through?

CS918/MK888/K-R42 Startup/boot problem

Hello,
My MK888 box worked smoothly only for two days. On third day I noticed that device is turned off. It can't boot up now. The PowerLED lights up for 5 seconds and it goes off. The video of this process You can see here: http://www.mediafire.com/watch/gcg1a43k9qceoem/CAM00200_compressed.mp4
Connecting OTG cable causes permanent glow PowerLED, until disconnected. I checked dmesg and it doesn't change when I connect device with OTG cable. Windows doesn't see it either. Connecting it with Recovery button pressed down doesn't help. It has stock rom without any modififcations. Only XBMC installed and some other apps.
Does anyone has any idea how to fix this?
I bought it here: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/TV-B...3188-2GB-RAM-8GB-ROM-CS918-AV/1392309954.html
The seller gave me link to some new firmware and no other info. Only "please download the firmware and install in your computer, and then connect the tv box to the computer, it will flash automatically ".

Sounds like a hardware fault in all honesty.
Mine turns itself off immediately sometimes but not on a consistent basis.
I would tell the seller of the issues about it not detecting, I'd make sure your drivers are up to date though.
The drivers are not an issue as the dmesg (linux tool) shows nothing, like no device is connected. It should show something. I thought that there is some hack for this or possibility to connect with JTAG or something. I will send it back to the seller.

HELLO,
i have exactly the SAME problem as you described with my tv box (i think it is T-R42 because it has bluetooth)
Also i have the stock rom , and also i bought the tv box from an aliexpress seller
Normally i keep it in operation (was about a week i didn't turn off it)
yesterday morning i found it powered off,
and when i try to power on it pressing the button,
the button light stays on for a few seconds, then it (and the device) turns off
Yesterday night i connected the tv box to my pc via otg cable.
When connected to the pc via otg, the light stays on.
Connecting the usb cable to the pc, and pushing the reset button under the tv box, my pc detects rk31sdk device, then asks to install drivers for it
Choosing automatic search of drivers, my pc find drivers for 'MDB device' and istall them... and the process ends correctly
But after a few seconds, windows finds another time the 'new hardware', and asks to install drivers... and so on
(I dont know if in this phase i did some wrong action, this evening i will try to find and install the right drivers...)
Then i downloaded the software for my tv box, including the Rockchip updater (RKAndroidTool.exe) and latest custom rom from wasser (forum freaktab.com) :
http://www.freak-tab.de/wasser/firmware-wasser-1.2.4.zip
Then i lauched the RKAndroidTool:
the first time it didn't find the device, so i tried to disconnect the tv box, reconnect it and press the reset button under the tv box
In that way, the RKAndroidTool detected the device.
I Clicked Erase IDB, and seems it worked find, endings OK
Then i selected all the software : Loader, Parameter, Misc, Kernel, Boot, Recovery, System and clicked 'RUN'
The process started, i saw:
Testing device: OK
Flashing Ram... OK
So i was happy, i thought i solved my problem...
instead i solved nothing, the device still had the same behaviour as before (the same as you described)
So i repeated the process, selecting only one update at a time, (only the Boot , only the Recovery, only the System etc)
The process seems always to work ok, because it ends with OK
But the tv box didn't change behaviour, the same problem remain
I noticed that sometimes during the update process the message 'Found RKAndroid Loader Rock USB' changed to 'NOT FOUND',
so i had to retry pushing the reset button to make it be found
I dont know how RKTool works, i have the suspect that messages tells OK also if it do nothing ...
this evening i will retry, installing the right drivers...
You are a lucky guy. Mine wasn't even detected by my PC. After maaany approaches of powerON+RecoveryButton dmesg showed the new device only once with following issue: "BOS descriptor failed.". The seller told me to send it back for replace, but they will cover only one posting cost. It cost me extra $16

Hello,
i have still to test it,
but perhaps i got the solution for the problem:
a user from freaktab forum suggested me that the problem should be the power adapter:
he suggested me to buy a power adapter 5V , with 2A output minimum
I dont have such power adapter, if you have it, and you have not sent yet the tv box to the supplier, please check this solution and let me know!
Thanks
I saw this solution somewhere in the internet, but unfortunately I checked it with 2.5A adapter...it didn't help. I tested the standard adapter with multimeter and everything appeared to be fine. I already sent my device to the seller. I hope he will replace it.

In the case it doesn't work i think i will have also to send the tv box to the aliexpress seller...
but i dont know how to do it, and how much i have to pay
did you choose DHL shipment, or which other carrier?
I bought my t-r42 on october, now are passed 4 months... i dont know if i still can ask to the seller to replace it...
any suggestion?
Thanks!
I asked him through aliexpress:

DHL is out of the question! They take 20-40$. I sent it with Polish Post.

Ok thank you,
if the power adapter solution doesn't work i will try to contact the seller
To be honest, i am not very satisfied of this tv box, it didn't work very well
for example i used skype (connecting it to a logitech c270 webcam), and it didnt work well... very often skype crashed, and camera app also had problems...
Perhaps i will ask to the seller if i can buy another model and can get some discount returning my tv box to him...

Same problem
Did anyone could fix this? I have the same problem, any firmware, even the supposed stock one, fix the problem, the device doesn't boot.
I don't know what happens, it can update the firmware every time I want....
RKbatchtool is better than RKAndroidtool.
connect the box to the PC via OTG but do not connect the power. hold the recovery button and then connect the power cable.
if this still fails then try Maskmode. bit more complex and i would recommend a good read over at freaktab.com first. have to open the box up and short the 8th and 9th Pin on the NAND chip.

contacted Seller and she gave me link to some new firmware and no other info. Only "please download the firmware and install in your computer, and then connect the tv box to the computer, it will flash automatically ".
I downloaded all the upgrade software as mentioned but still not working.
I went to my friend's home who is also using the same TV Box. Tested my TV Box with my friend's HDMI Cable, Power Adapter one by one. Finally, finding out when using my Power Adapter for the 2 TV Boxes they had the same startup problem. But using my friend's power adapter, both are working . Communicated with seller shop: China SmartView Digital Co. Ltd. Aliexpress Store no: 808900. She asked me to mail back to the manufacture direct but she doesn't be responsible for any cost.
I order a new power adapter cable from other supplier at my own cost.

The demo models usually do not have the hardware (physical) modem, however what Windows installs is a USB device based on an enumeration from the Android host USB driver from the phone - that is simply a software declaration at USB level which can be used to declare basically anything, it does not mean it actually has a hardware modem inside the phone.
Based on that USB declaration certain phones can be seen as USB disk drives or CD-ROM drives, but it is pretty obvious there is no CD-ROM hardware in the phone

yaa agree with you ...
and i screw up the phone and have deep look at the board i only found one thing missing there , the wire that connect form the bottom of the board to the top of board near the modem.(usually a removable wire found in all Galaxy S series ) and there is no any missing place for any chip except the small metal where the wire connected thats why i forced myself to ask the question.. is the parts on the boards are fake ??

Typically with those demo models like xclub was saying, they have no modem. Qualcomm manufacturers a few different series of chipsets;
MSM (Mobile Station Modem) which includes an applications processor and an integrated modem (baseband.) This is contained on 1 chip along with the 3GB LPDDR3.
MDM (Mobile Data Modem) which is simply the modem/baseband
APQ (Applications Processor Q(?)) Which is the Applications processor without a modem.
I speculate your device has either an APQ8074 or MSM8974 with the modem disabled at the QFPROM/hardware chip level.

Root Problems i9505

I am trying to Root my Galaxy s4 i9505 but the problems I'm facing are:
1. There seems to be a problem with my USB connection ie it does not get recognised by the PC. Appears that the USB connector is faulty. Will charge but no data
2. I have tried kingo and various other apps that offer no PC root. I can't get any of these to work
I read somewhere that I could root by using a combination of file saved on SD card and use Android Terminal Emulator to get root access. I tried one method and this doesn't work either.
Is there anything I haven't tried. Basically I'm trying to get root so I can enable the onscreen navigation keys as my menu and back button no longer work.
I made it on the same phone with this video ->
well my account is still under restriction's and i cant post links
but search on youtube for -> How to root Galaxy S4 (I9500/I9505) running Lollipop 5.0.1
and follow the first video
Hope it helps!
Are you using the original cable? If not, switch to the original cable as some USB cables, like ones from Logitech, are "charge" cables that do not have the data pins connected. Also, check your USB ports and make sure you're plugged into one of them rather than a hub.

Yeah i'm using the original cable supplied with the device. It seems like a problem with the USB connector on the phone as I've tried fresh install of OS on PC and reset the phone to factory as well. I've ordered a new USB board just in case. Problems seem to come from repair that was done on the phone after screen smashed. Repair carried out by qualified repair shop but since then no menu or back button function hence the root option so I can enable the soft keys on the device
If you had the device repaired, I would take it back to them and have them look at it instead of settling for a half-functioning device. Since they replaced the screen, they should be responsible for making sure the capacitive buttons work as well.

USB Synchronous and Asynchronous

Hi,
I am having a hard time trying to get a couple of USB devices to work properly on my headunit. One is a USB CarPlay dongle, and the other is an OTA tv tuner. Both USB devices get recognized by the headunit, however in the case of the first, it never gets passed a connection state where the dongle starts talking to the application. In case of the second, the OTA never finds TV stations after doing a complete scan.
USB devices like keyboards, mice, USB flash drives, even a webcam work fine. I contacted the manufacturer and they said they only support USB synchronous which may be the reason these devices can't work properly.
The unit is an Eonon GA7157 with the Allwinner R16 1.6GHz Cortex A7 Quad-Core CPU.
Questions:
Is it possible this is a valid claim?
My unit is rooted, can USB asynchronous be enabled via software?
I was also thinking this could be an OTG wiring issue, what do you think? I say so because the only way I could get the CarPlay dongle to work on my Samsung Tablet A, was with an OTG cable. A straight connector presented the same symptoms.
I am not too experienced with Android, so please be gentle
He was feeding you a load of horse manure.
Either that, or he meant something entirely different by "USB synchronous".
Precisely what do you mean by "get recognized by the headunit"?
What exactly *are* these two devices you are trying to use?
What *drivers* do they use?
Have you confirmed that the kernel is enumerating the devices?
Have you confirmed that the kernel is binding the proper drivers to them?
Have you confirmed that Android knows how to deal with the interfaces that the drivers are providing for these devices?
Have you confirmed that the interface permissions are such that a user application will be able to access it?
An OTG cable does two things;
1) It reverses the gender of the connector,
2) It sends a signal to the phone/tablet/whatever that it should switch its USB port from slave mode to host mode.
Nothing else.
Thanks for the tips. By recognize I mean that Android prompts me to confirm opening the accompanying apps when I plug in these devices to the USB port. E.g. I plug in the CarPlay dongle, Android prompts: do you want use Zbox (App) every time you use this device (Cancel or OK); I press OK and then the App stays in trying to connect mode forever.
The manufacturer has locked down USB debugging. Do you know of any apps (rooted or not) that will give me the information you pointed out?
thanks
It is unlikely that USB debugging is "locked down". More likely, its just because your USB device port is stuck perpetually in "host" mode on the wrong side of a USB hub, and therefore you can't connect to it. Try connecting to adb over IP instead.
I've never heard of any USB device on Android causing any kind of popup. That is very strange. Is it possible that the popup is being created by the program, i.e. "zbox"? Its possible that the system is sending a broadcast upon device enumeration, but the device access permissions are either wrong, or the kernel doesn't have the proper driver available.

Thanks again. I am including some pictures that may help explain the problem a little better. As far as the passcode, from what I can tell this unit has 3. One for the Advanced Car Settings, Developer Settings, and USB Debugging. The first 2 I found on another forum and are 123456 and the other 7890. The USB Debugging is an alphanumeric string which I haven't found anywhere, and the manufacturer refuses to release it. When I toggle the USB debugging on, I get prompted to input the passcode. I have tried a few codes but no go, the USB debugging switch goes back to the off position.
The other pictures show the USB port capabilities of the headunit. The unit has 3 USB ports: one is taken by the WiFi module, the other by a dashcam, and the remaining one is open and where I plugged in the CarPlay dongle. There is also another picture of the USB CarPlay dongle device plugged in and listed as Mass Storage Gadget. The dongle does have internal storage of a few MBs.
Finally, I include a picture of the application Zbox. This is the latest version and it starts automatically when I plug in the USB CarPlay dongle.
Well, I made some progress with the password for the USB debugging switch. To summarize:
Car Settings: 123456
Developer Options: 7890
USB Debugging: [email protected]
Now I just need to figure out how to make the USB port work properly. Any ideas? I have USB debugging access and the device is rooted.
Well according to your second-last picture, the device is being detected as UMS (Usb Mass Storage). I.e., like a usb flash disk.
VIDID of 0x0525:0xA4A5 looks to be an e-ink tablet called "Pocketbook Pro 903".
The problem may be that your "carplay dongle" is masquerading as something it isn't.
Well, the VIDID could be the problem; however, this same CarPlay dongle works fine on 2 other Android devices; moreover, a USB OTA tuner behaves the same way, meaning it does not work on the headunit but does on remix and a tablet.
Well guys, this unit is going back to the seller. After playing with it and not getting anywhere with customization and customer service, it’s out the door.
I am getting an xtron octacore px5 unit. It looks like these head units have better developer support.

My new Xtrons recognizes the Zbox dongle very quickly. I think it is now as quick as some of the dedicated Alpine and Pioneer units.
As far as software, crisper icons and bypassing the connection window would be nice option. It should only display when a problem occurs. One thing that is flimsy is the USB connector but no software upgrade will fix it. I am considering opening it up and soldering a better connector. Also, heat dissipation is an issue. It needs a heatsink. I may just add one when I crack it open.
I am looking forward to the next iteration with wireless CarPlay. Someday.

Yea the update definitely enhanced it a lot. I used to have a pioneer and it feels close to the same now.
