Hi Stane!. I replaced the file as you said, but now I can not turn the wifi directly. You could include the other driver in the next firmware work?. Thank you!
Explain, how do you mean you can not turn on wifi directly? Does it work or not?
Do you have same behavior or wifi performs better with this driver if it's even working?Explain, how do you mean you can not turn on wifi directly? Does it work or not?
Sorry for my english. I'm using google translator.
After replacing the file, the WIFI does not start. I put "on" and do not appear networks, not detected.
Thanks!
No problem.
Just to be noted (again), kernel is not 3.08, it never was. It's 2.6.34. I don't know why everyone force to display this info which is wrong. Amlogic doesn't have 3.x kernel yet, drivers and platforms itself are not ported yet to kernel 3.x (at least it's not available to public). In Android sources there are visible preparations for 3.x kernel, but still 2.6.34... If you install Task Manager or similar program, you'll see that you're running on kernel 2.6.34

any news regarding ATV-108 f16ref new firmware
As I promised, I'm working on it and it will be released when most of bugs if not even all solved, with all features mentioned earlier in posts included (bt, dvbt, adb over network....).
Same goes for c03ref device.

try to set the output as"720p"from your box,your TV might not support 1080p videos.just my advice though.
Seems like very old post, I don't remember it.... I asume it's c03ref board. Visson ICS never got working ac3 nor dts on their c03ref which is 20120423.
About 1080p, either you have problems with your tv displaying 1080 resolution or there is a problem with hdmi cable. Try replacing hdmi cable.

Download skype.txt from Sendspace.com - send big files the easy way
So i bought a used logitech c270 on amazon! $18! works in native camera app, still no skype. above link is logcat of event. says something about no codec for viewing live stream from camera...
UPDATE: this could be a resoltution issue. i think skype is trying to set the resolution of my webcam to match my lcd monitor (dvi to hdmi cable). its an odd resolution. will try on my 1080p TV and see what happens.

Stane1983,
after extensive testing on devices running netflix and devices not running netflix, i am almost positive that it is 'amadec' holding back the player from starting. it is waiting for a pts checkin that never happens or the build never ackowledges it. i have tried many other libamplayer files on yer firmware, and they all do the same thing, which leads me to believe its not in the libamplayer file. maybe they are all non functional. i even tried the ones from the geniatech firmware that netflix works on, but no go. i'm sure they were loading correctly as i could see the different builds and whatnot in logcat. so pretty much , there is a bug in there somewhere, maybe the kernel, im not sure. but if it cannot be solved or there is no priority to fix it, i gotta move on to a different processor achitecture that will. Cos netflix is the largest video repository in america. $75 blu-ray players can use netflix here. these android devices will never make it here if they can't do it. we will see.

Hi Stane1983,
Hope you have the time to help.
I got a "Android 4.0 Google Smart TV Box 1.4GHz WiFi HDMI HD 1080P" from ebay (it was the only one which had optical output.)
Anyway, in the model in device information it says "MBX reference board (f16ref)" so I installed your firmware, which I think I shouldn't have done since it didn't say VISSON or anything similar.
Now at startup I get the @9 logo, then the Android robot, and it stops there, it doesn't go further.
I can still get the recovery menu if I press reset and turn device on with no SD card.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thx!
Cheers
JP

Hi all, I hope there's somebody who can help me
I'm having a box like this.
This box appears as a c03ref with Cortex A9 CPU with ICS so that's the reason how I find this Thread. Today I updated YouTube on my box and after that youTube is hanging after starting (Signing in). I tried something but nothing worked. I decided to do a reset to factory default. In the appearing booting menu I choose also delete apps (Option 3) because I thought this option will reset the origanally installed apps. After that I choose restart but the box is only displaying the green Android logo. What should I do? Does it make sense to install the fw for c03ref but if I understand it right the fw only works for a special box and not mine? Any help would be very nice
Thx a lot in advance

u-boot-aml-ucl.bin
What should I do?

Hi,
I have bricked my c03f flashing firmware (2012.06.21)from this thread (don't really know what happened
).
When I power up the unit, the TV remains with no signal. When I power up the unit holding the reset button before powering it up, still the same (and the 2 leds at the front don't blink 3 times like they used to do).
I have tried to use SDTool from WinXP with several different SD cards (4Gb, 1Gb) to create a recovery card but still no luck. I power up the unit with the card inserted and it still does nothing (no signal on TV, no blinking of the leds...)
Any other ways I can try to recover my box? I have linux PC available if necessary.
Thanks!

Try a different regular SD card. no SDHC. try a small card too. 1gb or less. if that fails to work, try a different windows xp machine. some motherboard usb ports don't play nice with SDTOOL. also, make sure you are making the card correctly. copy uboot to card with SDTOOL, then reinsert sd card and copy firmware files to root of card. then insert into device and power on/reset depress. might have to do it twice. first time through reloads bootloader. second time lights should flash and firmware should begin to load. may take a while. leave it be for a minute.
also, STANE1983, i got skype working! turns out, skype on android will not video call properly to certain versions of skype on MAC osx. i am using a version of skype for osx 10.5.8 at the moment and android doesn't like connecting video calls to it. i tried connecting c03ref with logitech c270 as well as cheap $5 chinese driverless webcam to my zenithink c71+ tablet skype and everything worked!!! so there it is! some peoples versions of skype will not video chat properly with the atv-108. still no microphone from my logitech c270 tho..do i have to do anything special to turn it on? i assumed it should just work. or is that after usb audio fix gets implemented?
edit: now that i got skype working, i'm almost sorry i did.
the quality of the video is atrocious.UPDATE:

Hi Stane,
I updated my box (not an ATV108 but very similar to the pic in an prev. posting of mine) with your fw from the v-play site from 21. June and I'm really impressed. This ICS is so much more stable than the lousy crap originally installed. No crash on Google Play, no unfortunately closed Dialog, nothing.
I really appreciate your work and I sent you a beer already coz this is well earned
Maybe you can answer me two questions
1. Y Chrome isn't working on the ICS c03ref? Maybe coz of the (missing) hardware acceleration but not sure
2. Do you know when the remote control support will be added or is there a fix already available?

Am I supposed to see something on the screen while the box boots and recovers from SD?
I have tried again, multiples times, but no luck. Still no picture on TV at all
