But maybe he don't have Visson device but some other with f16ref :)

Then he maybe have different hardware in box, and fw from V-Play is primarily for Visson devices...

Anyway, we have info from Visson that given procedure for f16ref should work that way... I did not try it yet, and as I know Stane also did not try it yet :)

Probably this procedure might work on other devices, but it's risky because you need to short circuit wires... so I cannot tell for other devices how it should work :)
 
@stane1983:

- 1080p don't work at all, I got a black screen for 15-20 seconds and then back to 720. sometimes I got flashes of a dialog asking something, but I'm sure this is also in 720p.
- regarding "factory_update_param.aml", if I don't edit it, the firmware install stops, and I have no option but to poweroff and on again, and of course the new firmware is not installed.

I'll try an USB Mic and post results.
Thanks

I also forgot to mention that I have an azerty (french) usb keyboard, but the system recognize it as a qwerty one.
Is it possible to add a functionnality to choose the keyboard layout ?

I will solve this problem, probably within settings. All physical keyboards are recognized as querty US layout keyboards. I'm aware that I have to solve this, just didn't get to it...
 
Hi Stane, tks for c03ref fw!!

I made a quickly evaluate and i have some bugs:
- Wifi cannot connect after replace remote.conf but if i edit this file, wifi works fine.
- Browser crashs one time and needs reboot device.
- Auto update Date & Hour works fine during a moment, now, still in year 1970 and cannot update.
- In 1080P, i cannot see mouse cursor too, this bug is not only 720p
for me.

Tks...

Can you take pic of pcb? Maybe you don't have same hardware as we have?

Don't use upgrade app - put fw on sd card and try install it (with reset button procedure)

I bought the box off DX at Google Android 4.0 HDMI TV Box w/ 4GB / WiFi / RJ45 / AV-Out / SD / MMC / USB / Remote Control - Free Shipping - DealExtreme

I can't attach pictures to my forum posts yet. They're at: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7125/7763150280_9c309f34ae_b.jpg

I already ran the FW upgrade on a SD with the reset button procedure. No luck :(
 
Evangion, that is exactly the same error I got every time I install any FW other than ICS.MBX.20120225
With the latest firmware I also removed last line on factory_update_param.aml:

--set_efuse_ethernet_mac=/sdcard/ethmac.efuse

Not sure if this is needed, but on my box it's the only way of succeed.
Regards.

Thanks for the link and quick tip! I'm gonna download it now and see it it recovers my Android TV Box. Just a quick question, where did you manage to find that firmware from?

I suppose he got it from Visson ATV-108 FAQ and info which is sticky on top of Google TV subforum on androidforums :)

Mentioned firmware is fist official firmware for ATV-108 c03ref (m1 board) and does have wifi issues. ICS.MBX.20120423 is last one official firmware for c03ref board, only with wifi fix, rest of firmware is the same...

Edit: There is no more support from Visson for ATV-108 c03ref, ICS.MBX.20120423 is the last one they released...
 
Thanks stane for this wonderful firmware, I am really enjoying this now. I just need to confirm a thing, ie does this firmware support ps3 controller (via sixaxis controller app) as it does shows that it is connected (as client 1) but doesn't respond to any button. pressed). So anybody using the same can confirm me that it is only me or anyone else also faced the same.
 
@stane1983
Hi, I have an android tv box, which the devicechecker.apk reported as f16ref version. But may be itis not from Visson. After I upgraded to your latest FW from v-play-download, I now get a blank screen.

I opened the case and soldered a serial cable on-board. Now, on hyperterminal (on PC) I can see the device booting but exits to u-boot prompt saying "not valid kernel image for bootm".

I have a similar other unit in working condition.

Is it possible to get a NAND dump from working unit which I can use to recover my defective one? And HOW?

Thanks for your help.
 
Hi Stane,
I am enjoying the new firmware of c03ref. Thanks.
The only thing bugging me is the Realtek 8188CUS based wireless module I soldered is not enabled at all with the new beta FW. I can't turn on the wireless module via setup.
It is my understanding that 8188CUS can be driven by the same driver of 8192CS. So I thought this 8188CUS should work, at least it worked with older rev. FW.
Shall I just replace it with 8192CS based one?
Thanks.

Hi, does anyone know if there is anyway to recover my remote configuration ? Latest firmware messed up my buttons, it works, but they are not on the right position.

Thanks,
 
New XBMC update from Pivos
Official Pivos XBMC Linux port (Beta Release 081312)

Edit: This is an actual img update so they have embedded it natively into their Linux firmware. I think the board is a c03ref but don't quote me on that.

Hi, I don't actually have IR remote that comes with original c03ref device, I only do have remote for f16ref device, but obviously they are not the same... Will contact Vissons engineer and we will solve this issue....

Hi guys
I tested many firmwares on my ATV-108 c03ref but to all of them I had problems on web TV video reproduction.
Window with video is not loading.
Only original firmware was a bit better but not perfect.
Has anybody experienced such problems and found solution may be or even able to propose me a better firmware for my case?
Thanks
 
Does anyone know what do we need to use MS Joystick with this firmware ? I mean, is there any other apk that we need to install ? Because I think the driver is included, right ?

Thanks.

Same issue that I had with my F16REF. Returned it and swapped for another unit.

Flashing the C03REF firmware that eddor1614 recommended and the one that Stane1983 mentioned also did nothing. Good luck with yours.
 
Hello everyone, how are you?
I have a problem and install all the V-Play download section page and does not work any firmware, I only walk where the Provider mine sent me from China, I sincerely want to put the version 4.0 or 2.3 because otherwise I have the substitle of movies I appear with symbols of Chinese characters.

I have installed version is this:


MODEL: MBX DVBT REFERENCE BOARD (C03REF)

KERNEL: 2.6.31 LINUX UBUNTU 4.10

BUIL NUMBER: GB.MBX.20111229

they think of a solution to my problem, sorry for my English, I'm from Argentina.

thank you very much
