Hello. I've recently received my A95X F1 (2gb/16gb) box with android 8.1 firmware.
Has anyone tried to install Xperience ATV successfully?
If yes, do all the things work after flashing?
Does anyone have an original stock firmware for this device? I would like to have it as a backup.
I've already contacted WeChip for their stock firmware and i'm expecting their response.
Is it possible to install Xperience ATV in a Tv box that has android 8.1 and it seems to be treble enabled (with Vendor partition etc.)?
Can i dump the whole stock firmware out of my tv box on android 8.1, including the vendor partition? (to use it in case of a bricked device)
Thank you in advance!

Hey unfortunately there's no stock fw available for that device so I don't recommend you installing atvXperience just yet. Maybe soon?

Thank you for your quick response. Some people say, that this box is similar to the A95X R2 (not the rockchip one, but the one with the S905W). Has anyone installed successfully the firmware from the latter device to this one?

This is the original link of the stock firmware 8.1 for A95X F1, that official supplier WeChip has sent to me via an email. Be informed that i have not tested it, i'm just sharing it.

Something weird that i've seen: In the original firmware from the supplier, the unpacked dtb file, suggests that we have a p212 tv box, meaning that this is a S905X box. Ofcourse, in the ATV xperience ROM for S905W, the dtb suggests, that this firmware is intended for p281, thus meaning S905W. So, who's the one, who will try opening the tv box, for the truth to be uncovered? :relaxed:

Damn! Could be that p212 dtb was used in compiling but again, they should have renamed it to p281 atleast, that's what I did when I was porting S905W oreo.

So, which ATV ROM should we use? The one for S905W, or the one for S905X? Or, should we wait for somebody to open the box first?

I'd say wait for now. I'll analyze the stock rom and if possible, I'll make an ATV version :)
