A NEWBIES GUIDE TO MX ANDROID

Hi
My usb is 2.0 can read ok from box but the usb to sd addon wont backup . Tried with SanDisk 32GB Sd card and that also won't back up in usb to sd wizard . As the sba1 location on my box comes up as udisk0 can't find sba1. I don't open the wizard I go into configure find my usb location in root directory it's listed as udisk0 press OK on it . Did same with sd card find location on list and press ok on it.

As for the chrome issue I am using a mini Bluetooth keyboard I just thought I could make chrome smaller on screen to see scroll bar to make scrolling of pages easier.

Solve one issue and another one crops up i am trying to see if my box rooted asots of austere apps not compatible with android 5.1.1. I can't get into recovery to check if 3rd party recovery installed for root. Trying the av button push but box booting straight into home.screen. tried letting go of av button when am logic screen appears but not going in recovery also tried letting go of av button when my logo appears but booting in home screen also tried keeping av button pressed all the time but still going into home screen.

How do I get into recovery mode any help appreciated.

Thanks

what make and model of box do you have mate ? sorry if you mentioned it earlier its just having that info may help .

regarding the usb and usb-sadcard wizard i had a problem before with an older kodi ,i think it was 14.2 , it just wouldnt back up and gave errors . bu it works fine now on jarvis 16.1 . but it may just simply be your box , that its extremely picky with usb sticks . it can happen on satellite boxes for sure , ive not really had any issue with android boxes i worked on not accepting certain usb sticks , but then ive not worked on every box type .

 

Hi
I have a MXQ Pro 4k box sorted the recovery mode flashed upgraded firmware and have recovery now. Old firmware for some reason never had recovery mode or seller disabled it. Even with new firmware I still can't use usb to sd wizard I am running 26 April firmware with Kodi Jarvis 16.0.

Only one other problem now the remote control stopped working and also the box has a blue LED light in front that also.stopped working. I basically can't switch box off now have to take out power cord if I want to switch it off its a hassle also I have a mini keyboard and can't find any key that switches it off.

Any way to fix the remote control so I can get it to work again.

Thanks

ah right mate you didnt mention that you were planning on changing the box firmware . did you check that the box firmware was suitable for your version / make / model of box ? .

i know it doesnt really help you now but i would never suggest changing firmware if the old firmware worked fine , as they say if its not broken dont fix it . but if anyone needs to change firmware because their box has problems they really need to ensure that it is the correct firmware for their box .

here is a link with firmware for what seems to be most boxes , including the mxq pro

Code:

https://www.entertainmentbox.com/android-firmware-downloads/

usually with recovery mode you would unplug the box , insert an sd card with firmware on it , insert a toothpick into the AV connection and press the button thats in there , and then plug in your box while still pressing the button thats inside the AV connection . and then recovery mode/menu appears .

however i found on a box that it didnt appear , by accident when i was trying to do this several times on one occasion i forgot to insert the sd card in the box , and the recovery mode/menu appeared . in essence what i discovered is that while most boxes work the usual way that some wont (why i dont know ) but by trying to access recovery mode with no usb card in the box i found it worked , then i popped the sd card in the box once it was in recovery mode and t worked fine .

i cant say for certain but with the remote control not working i do think that is a good sign that the firmware you put in the box is for a different model that uses a different remote hence the remote you have now wont work . so i can only suggest that you get another version of firmware and try that , and i hope the remote problem with rectify itself .

regarding making a backup , if you cant get usb-sdcard wizard to work try the backup addon , read the following link
http://kodi.wiki/view/add-on:backup

 

Hi
I got the firmware from China gadgets that make the box but the firmware won't operate the remote. Did try lots of versions some don't work like ether net or wifi . All versions the remote didn't work so basically stuck as I can't turn the box on or off. Will try the Kodi way of backup and see if it works did try xmbc backup that also don't work just get error check log. Log says access denied don't know why I get access denied any ideas .

Thanks

were all the firmware versions you used recent versions ? you could maybe get an older version and try that .

can you check what chip set you have ? there are different ones such as 905 or 802 etc , the firmware you use should be for the chip set your box has . as your box is a 4k model it may be 905 but they could have several firmware versions for several mxq pro models . this is why i was saying its important to know that you have the correct firmware for your box before you change it .

so check your box , maybe under the box its self is a sticker , or check the packaging it came in or maybe there was paper work inside the packaging . anything that tells you the chip set your box uses , as i say my thinking is your box is 905 , but i may be wrong . but check your chip set and find firmware for that chip set .

there are what is called remote patches , ive seen some for the 800 chip sets but not for the 900s . but if your box is a 905 chip set and you get a patch that may fix your remote , as it seems this is seems to be happening a bit .

if your box has a 905 chip set you could try the following firmware

http://chinagadgetsreviews.com/down...k-firmware-for-mxq-pro-quick-play-tv-box.html

if its not 905 then get a firmware for what ever chip set number it is .

 

Hi
The chips etc is 905 Amlogic 64bit A53 Quad core 2Gb ram and 8GB flash. The firmware you posted don't work the wifi and ether net both don't work i used this one correct for my box.

http://chinagadgetsreviews.com/down...-5-1-1-stock-firmware-mxq-pro-tv-box-2-5.html

You say i can get a remote patches for my box 905 Amlogic can you post where I can them from to try and see if I can fix my remote also I used have a blue LED on front to show box on that also.don't work but I live without that just need my remote to work so can turn box on and off.

Thanks

you can add adult content to your box as opposed to adult channels .

install fusion repo , here is the repo link

when its installed select SYSTEM , and then SETTINGS and then ADDONS . then select INSTALL FROM ZIP FILE .

now you should see various files listed and fusion should be there , select FUSION .

now select XBMC REPOS , you will then see english , international , adult , select ADULT .

now you can select from quite a few adult repos . select the repos you want and install them .

then go to GET ADDONS or INSTALL FROM REPOSITORY depending on what version of kodi you have . then open the repos you just installed and install the adult addons you want from them .

thats it .

 

HOW TO REMOVE SOFT BLOCKS ON YOUR ROUTER

WHY DO YOU NEED TO REMOVE SOFT BLOCKS ? well more and more ISPs (internet service providers ) are soft blocking . soft blocking very simply is a setting on your router that stops you and your router accessing certain content / sites etc . as an example your android device could be being blocked . blocking kodi and stopping you viewing content .

the above is as opposed to a hard block , no setting on your router can remove a hard block , however a VPN should get you around a hard block .


ok soft blocks



you may see similar to the above



What’s stopping you?

There are two levels of censorship at play, each of which contribute to problems with Kodi. The good news is, they can both be removed by following the steps below.

The first kind are “parental control” settings which are automatically enabled by your ISP. While all four major players in the British telecom market do this, this type of block is easily removed. Here are specialized guides for each ISP.

BT | Virgin | Sky | Talk Talk

The second kind of blocks are installed at a macro level by the British government. If you followed our guide and removed the first level of blocks, but are still having trouble accessing the content you wish to view, it is time to install a VPN.



How to Unblock Kodi on British Telecommunications (BT)

Smart Setup is BT’s online set-up wizard. It is the interface through which you manage all your BT Broadband features and services on the devices you connect to your BT Hub.

1. Open any web browser on a device which is connected to your Hub, and type 192.168.1.254 in the address bar. Your Hub manager will open.

2. Click Smart Setup



3. Enter the admin password. The default password will be found on your Hub settings card on the back of your Hub. If you have changed it and now forgotten it, use the password override feature to create a new password without losing your personal Hub settings and configuration.

4. Click the “On/off” button to turn Smart Setup on or off



5. Remember once you make any changes you’ll need to save them. Click Save




How to Unblock Kodi on Virgin Media

Virgin’s automatically enabled censor is called Web Safe, and can be easily turned off.

1. Register or sign in to virginmedia.com/myvirginmedia with your primary My Virgin Media username and password.

2. Click on My Apps




3. Click on Web Safe




4. Click Settings.

You will be presented with the option of keeping or turning off both Virus Safe and Child Safe. Turn off both, as Virus Safe disables many plug-ins and websites that are crucial to streaming content on Kodi. Although turning off ‘Virus Safe’ may sound unappealing, you’ll be no worse off than our neighbours across the Atlantic in the U.S. and Canada in terms of network security.



How to Unblock Kodi on Sky Broadband

Sky has installed a censorship tool called the Sky Broadband Shield, which flags many of the sites Kodi add-ons rely upon as malicious. Therefore, it is important that you completely disable the Shield, and not just set the age rating to 18 across all devices.

To do this, follow these steps:

1. Sign in to broadbandshield.sky.com with your Sky iD username and password. If you’ve forgotten your Sky iD details, you can retrieve your username or reset your password online.





2. Once you’ve signed in, scroll down the page and select Switch off.

Allow 15 minutes for changes to take effect.

If disabling the Sky Broadband Shield is ineffective, and you still cannot access content through Kodi, click here for a comprehensive guide on how to circumvent the U.K.’s nationwide censorship tool.



How to Unblock Kodi on Talk Talk

As a Talk Talk customer, you have free access to their HomeSafe and SuperSafe software. Both can interfere with the functioning of Kodi, so if you have not yet installed either, don’t. If you have, and are looking to remove them, follow these steps:

1. Go to https://myaccountholding.talktalk.co.uk/ and log in using your Talk Talk username and password. If their website is down, call the service number and request for HomeSafe and SuperSafe to be turned off for your network service.

2. Once you’ve entered your My Account, select Extras & Offers from the menu at the top of the page. You’ll see this screen below.




3. Simply click off for all three features, and allow a few minutes for changes to take effect.

 

For the latest working kodi addons, I use wirelesSHack.org. Much easier and faster to just get the http address I need. Those idiots on youtube take too long and mostly are just clickbate.
