Geniatech Enjoy TV

Good Evening, new in the forum, Leaving in Bangkok Thailand, I had the opportunity to buy the new Nano V500B and I have some Problem with the root. It was rooted when I buy and I can not use Vpn. Vpn in PPTP but no browser work and in L2TP the connection is impossible. At second the sd card can be read but all the program say that the sd card is not mounted. And there are other bug like that.
I try so many way that force to try to re rooted many time, now it is not rooted any more and I the sdcard work but not the VPN. I try all the images propose in this forum but no way... I try to root again and no way.. I phone and mail to Geniatech but the only reply i have is that there are bug in the VPN for Android 4.0.3 and so on.
Question is: are they possibilities to downgrade. Because the firmware who is in the machine are not on the market yet and the bootloader seem different as well. I try the firmware of Sumvision but no way.The message is ..."get prop('RO.Product.device")=="stvm3"--get ("RO.Build.product")=="stvm3" E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package img (Status7) Install abort"
I will really appreciate if somebody can help me at this point... I try so many possibilities since 2 days ..I'm down... The way that Geniatech reply to me is not not genia(l)!!!!or Geni(us)!!! Thanks lot to read me
 
I am looking for some help in constructing my own update.zip (or update.img) using Update Zip Packager V3.

I have followed [FONT=&quot]gio965[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT]guide and video and duplicated what he did for Android Gingerbread.

I was able to replicate his ICS tweaks for ICS-0529.

 
enviro, all you done is good, but, you need to add/remove apps BEFORE compiling new firmware. after you add/remove apps, in system and/or user folder, then you go to "2", process needs about 2-4 minutes, depending of quantity of new apps, and after that is finished, then "6".
 
Hi all, I have prepared a new update package specific for GB-20120111 release.

This package will install:
-the latest 3.7.13 Play Store market
-more .xml files in "permissions" folder (for a total of 47 files)
-more .jar files in "framework" folder
-an edited build.prop (fingerprint, model, brand, manufacturer: HTC Nexus One)
for a more complete access to apps on Play Store.

Install as usual, in recovery mode, renaming the file as update.img

Here is the link: update_full-market_3.7.13_for_GB-20120111.zip
 
Hi enviro8, all passages described by you, just above, are quite correct.

If you need to edit the updater-script, you must use a specific editor.
On my PC (Windows installed), I use notepad++: Notepad++ v6.1.5 - Current Version

(This editor is specific for editing this kind of files working under linux - android.
You could use, also, wordpad but you should follow a particular procedure...)

I have tried to generate the update.zip and the updater-script, using option 1,
but I have found it rather complicated...so I prefer to proceed differently:
-I unzip the update package that I want to modify
-I make my changes (add or delete files or folders)
-I edit, if necessary, the updater-script.
-I resign the package using the procedure described in the videoguide.

(For the syntax to follow, I refer, also, to this link: [TUT]Edify Installation Script Syntax's - xda-developers)

I'm sure that, in this way, you will solve...let me know
 
XBMC is great news, hopefully it runs well on all Amlogic 8726 android boxes.

All Winner A10 players will be the second ones to get supported, other Android platforms will be a mixed bag on whether they support the hardware video decoding system used by XBMC under Android.
 
V510 Geniatech, finally, after many request, I receive the patch and the firmware to reinstall all properly with rooted. For who's, one day buy this media box, they have to be carefull with the Factory data reset, this give you an old version non rooted.
You will need to patch the box so that it will accept the last firmware.
Second things, the browsers non work with VPN in the version 4.0.3, we have to wait the next step or the next update. Nice day
 
instaled on my atv1000 and is working,but the remote is working only with up and down butons ,no enter.....i have the fly mouse remote

geniatech rules :) now
 
the same posted here,the remote control dosent work,only up down,left right butons the dosent work ,you canot select
 
Yeah the controls for XBMC dont map well to the remotes used/supplied by geniatech.

I read you can get external keyboard helper pro then remap the buttons using a custom keyamp, the keymap action you need is the d-pad center key (it's in the list from actions you can select) however they weren't able to find a key that allows you to go back that works (backspace), the actual enter key on the remote doesnt register all in the app so I used the F8 key.

Any chance gio965 you could work a little magic and include the PS3 or Xbox controller drivers in your custom images that might resolve the problem more easily & be a better controller for it too for everyone who wants to run XBMC.

One thing though the XBMC apk file out there is only a preview build it's not meant for general usage at all, XBMC team are not releasing builds publicly.

Thanks for the info. I will try again and let you know how it goes.
 
Hi Guys
My remote controller has decided to give up the ghost (batteries are OK) - anyone know how to use the ATV1000 without it? I've tried a USB keyboard but no luck - I don't want to send it in for repair under warranty as there's personal data on the box!!
 
wireless kb and/or mouse. the cheaper kb/mouse are, the possibility that will work is bigger! plain kb/mouse set from trust, no problem, work in recovery console and in desktop. try another one kb or mouse.
 
Hi all! About XBMC: If you plug in usb keyboared "right ctrl" works as enter. Is miniands XBMC the same sa PIVOS XBMC? Did anyone try firmware from PIVOS for XIOS - DS? Can it be the same device as atv1000?
 
Sorry, maybe I am dumb, so what does XBMC get us that the current ATV box doesn't have? It maybe useful for those Android on a stick device, but with great support from Geniatech, I don't see how it helps. Anyone care to elaborate? Thanks.

Hello gio, I want to point an error I found, while it looks like it works with ATV1000, the market updated, the programs are available and seems to work properly, there is an error with handling the google market account, it looses all buyed stuff, maybe the problem is with the build.prop edition, or there is an error with the play store. On other hand the first time it got me a scare face when my WiFi stopped working and worked again after a full system and cache cleaning.

I got back to 20120111 firmware and added the permissions and standard framework.

XBMC is media center OS. With skins, metadata scrapers, programs and bunch of add-ons...
Google this:
Official xbmc.org Repository
Unofficial add-on repositories
When someone creates add-on for XBMC (just like app for android), it is availble for every platform!
I bought ATV1000 just to see one day XBMC on it (nine months after purchase it is here).
Only set back is lack of dvb-t module, but team mediaportal will maybe fill that gap.

RAW - Audio Data(Dolby Digital 5.1), had only in firmwares:
- androud 2.3.4 - 20120317 or 20120606
- android 4.0.3 - 20120529

DTS - no sound, only stereo - is probably a problem with the license, if anyone knows how to put the library on android for DTS, please write.

Does that apply to audio over HDMI too ? because I could only get stereo for all DTS/DD and their HD versions.
 
Question for those familiar with firmware upgrade.
What can happen if we take firmware from another product like atv1000?
Can we destroy the box?
Can we flash original firmware back?
Can we put this firmware XIOS_DS-GB-042812 (Android 2.3.4) on our box?
