MK808 newest firmware release

[BooLE]

OK FreakTab user Boole told me to take another look at the ROM I downloaded last night. I did a binary file compare. The kernel is the same date. However some system files are in fact different. System date is 10/27 not 10/26.

So in fact I have a new ROM. Again very few files changes (17 different files).

I do not have a lot of time to test everything but the reboot APP no longer causes the system to corrupt. So that is a good sign! You guys will have to help me test everything. I just want you all to have a new ROM as soon as possible this time since everyone is waiting.

So stay tuned.... New ROM today!

Bob

garyb you are fast

Can you try the following commands in terminal?

Code: Select all

su
iwconfig wlan0 rate 65 fixed
iwconfig wlan0 power off

This should set the bitrate to 65mbs and turn off power management. For me this keeps it steady at 65mbs. Before entering those commands I get speeds that change back and forth.

guys,i need you do a favor for me.

I report the wifi drop problem to factory, they want to know the problem in detail, because we already tested the mk808, we watch online tv online,and we don't find the wifi drops all the time.

please send me PM with the detail,if someone can offer me a video to check the wifi drops problems, tell me how long it will last when it drops, more details will help factory to find the problem, and solve them!!

thanks

Hi geekbuying,

Here is an example of the problem I experience with the WiFi. The first screenshot has been taken just after turning the WiFi on. The second screenshot has been taken after trying 5 minutes of NAS streaming using Skifta.

Bit Rate as dropped from 65 Mb/s to 5.5 Mb/s
66 packets have been received with invalid encryprion
12 packets were abandoned due to excessive sending retries
I guess there is no need to mention that streaming was now working really great

Screenshots where taken using iwconfig command line:

I have the BETA 2 firmware also. I just need to check with Geekbuying to make sure it's okay to release it.
It doesn't fix much which is why we hadn't released it yet.

It fixes the system corrupt when using the reboot app.
It also seems to fix the cpu governors that they are all able to go up to ~1400Mhz and can be set by SetCPU.

I have also created a version that is rooted and has SuperSU and RootExplorer installed.

Since I got it directly from Tomato, and not through geekbuying, I don't see a problem for you to release it public. I would do it already, but I have very limited upload bandwidth, so it would take ages for me.

Alright Here they are. Keep in mind I name the files slightly different.

Thank you for your suggestion... but it doesn't really help!

Thanks deadhp1 for wifi info,
so far mine is at least usable were I could not even use it, it still drops out but not as often.

1) iwconfig wlan0 power off
2) installed regpon from market "to keep connection alive
3) wake lock from market
4) router set to channel 7

Is there any way to make it keep the ( iwconig wlan0 power off ) so it auto loads this at boot?

Thanks to deadhp1 and geekbuying and bob again. I am having a slight issue with this update 4 beta. Hd videos in YouTube are buffering a lot which didn't use to happen before. Is anyone else having the same problem? I am using deadhp1's rooted update 4 firmware
