[DISCUSSION] Mini M8SII with WiFI/Bluetooth chipset AW-NB197SM

[spiderjuka]

Hello my friends,
I have TV BOX Mini M8SII with WiFI/Bluetooth chipset AW-NB197SM (similar to AP6212).
I tried upload two ROM's: atvXperience_v4_S905X_RT_BCM, and unfortunatlly atvX_s905x_v4_Ampack - and for both of them WIFI and Bluetooth not working.
I reviewed previous post and I found there confirmation that it should work (#528, #529) but there are links what not working now. Also link for Download the APXXX Wi-Fi buildin version not working - see post #1.
Can sombody send me proper firmware to my TV-BOX?
Thank you.

Unfortunatelly that ROM is very unstable. Wifi only working after fresh install od ROM - after reset TV BOX it is nor working .
Do you know How I can improve Wifi and Bluetooth for Mini M8S with chipset AW-NB197SM?

You are kind out of luck here, it works for other.

Wifi working for AW-NB197SM on Aidan's rom v9.
But Atvx v4 is better. So is it possible somehow move files from Aidan rom to Atvx v4? What about kernel? How can I change it?

Which build ?

Unpack both firmwares to level2, using some android kitchen, compare and copy&paste wifi files-folders from vendor/etc/...

Build : 1. [v9] Aidan's ROM [S905X] [ATV 9] (Universal RTL & BCM).rar

I did it. I used two different kitchen - one under windows and second under linux .
I copied vendor/etc/wifi and vendor/etc/bluetooth, also I compared vendor/lib/libbt-vendor.so.
Unfortunatelly it does not work.
Can be that something should be changed inside of kernel? If yes how can I repack kernel? What else should I do?

[em3ka]

Use WinMerge to compare both ROM's to spot an differences, probably you missed some files (like in vendor/lib/hw, vendor/lib/modules, vendor/etc/init/hw and maybe more).

I cannot help you much, i am not developer.

Hello,

I did copy everything.
But I recognize one diffirence: Aidan ROM include two devtree: gxl-p212-1g.dtb, gxl-p212-2g.dtb, but Atvx ROM include three devtree: gxl-p212-1g.dtb, gxl-p212-2g.dtb, gxl-p212-3g.dtb.
I know that devtree include hardware specification.
In addiiton I recognized that there are difference between Aidan an Atvx ROM inside file gxl-p212-2g.dtb
I tried change _aml_dtb.PARTITION - but it is not working - during loading modified ROM on USB_Burning_Tool error was occured - most probably I can't replace files from kernel from different ROM's.

Can you help me how I can replace that file: gxl-p212-2g.dtb ???
Is it possible?

Am i right, you have taken whole _aml_dtb.PARTITION file from Aidan's ROM and repack atvX.img with it ?
Which android kitchen are you using ?
