tv box Android 2.3

[wlodeka]

I bought this unit on eBay

Android 2.3 WiFi Internet Full HD 1080P HDMI Google TV Box ARM Cortex A9 1Ghz


worked fine one day
when pressed for time in the settings "revert to factory settings"
Now I have almost nothing
no:
Android Market
Gmail
Facebook
Twiter
etc.

What should I do?
whether you need new firmware, or quality of these programs to upload
can someone help me
how to fix it

please help

 

[84guy]

you could just try to find the apk for the market. if its android 2.3 it isnt google tv. first it was android 2.1 and new version is 3.1. the market must not be in the ROM and thats why a hard reset removed it, but since it was there the box might already be rooted. and the market apk might not install without pushing it, which i dont know how to do but a quick google search should help you

you also might consider calling support for that box

 

[wlodeka]

I tried, I downloaded the Android Market.apk,
installed, even started;
and when I want to add a Gmail account
Market the program exits

please help
maybe someone has the equipment and will help me

I am waiting for information

I greet

Download that files:
Market.zip - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download
and
Market_apps.zip - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download

Unzip 1st file: there is Google services framework.apk nad market app.

You must copy that files to ../system/app and power off box. Power on done! have fun.


If you want new market style there is new Vending.apk in Market_apps url. There are too other aps: z4root and file explorer.

 

[szemo77]

wlodeka Can you take a some test android detection for me?
Please install that apk and give us test id: http://android-analyzer.googlecode.com/files/andanalyzer-debug-1.1.0.apk

Thanks!

 

[wlodeka]

Thank you for the hint,
but unfortunately, I can not copy the programs of the poles
(vending.apk and googleservicesframework.apk to the directory system / app /)
can I do something wrong:
z4root first run and I click (first button from the top)
root then run explorer and try to copy these files
unfortunately it can not be

what it might be

I greet

 

[szemo77]

Please use Root Explorer and "r/w" option (on top of the screen, left). Folder must be writable. You can change too their opermissions like have others apps.

 

[bthoven]

After z4root, you should use RootChecker from Market to verify whether your box is actually rooted successfully. If so, then follow all the other steps.

 

[wlodeka]

And how not?

 

[bthoven]

And how not?

As far as I know, z4root is for Android 2.2, not 2.3.

For Android 2.3, try Gingerbreak. It's designed for rooting Android 2.3. However, it won't work for all 2.3 box/tablet.

So use Rootchecker just to verify your root success.

 

[wlodeka]

GingerBreak unfortunately does not help
I can not set the root on the tv box.
what's going on?
and I'm just about AndroidMarket and Gmail
and now also noticed that the device when power is not holding the date and time.
-
Ebay seller wants me to send him to a device
what do you think?
-
from Polish to China and back it will be more than a month and get them in the new year 2012.
-
I do not know what to do?
Nobody really has no firmware for this device?

I greet

 

[wlodeka]

Well, how? no one can help?

Link to the update you want in my next post - have to introduce myself apparently.

Got this link from the manufacturer this morning - had exactly the same issue you have.

Unrar the file & put the 6 files on to a blank SD card. Insert the card in to your machine. Go to system update in the control panel. Click update from local source (may have the wording wrong there). It will then update automatically. Once it's done, you restart the box and you have the working Market back. Did it this morning and it works perfectly - takes around 10 minutes tops.

Download 11-26 VS-ATV firmware .rar from Sendspace.com - send big files the easy way

Good luck and have fun with your fully functioning box.

 

[wlodeka]

THANK YOU! ! ! ! ! ! !
everything OK!
market and gmail - act

SUPER!

Guys, help me please. I have the same android tv box. It named Visson ATV-101 (homepage). I received it with android 2.2 preinstalled and without "system update" in the menu. Yesterday, Wi-Fi in the device was broken and i try to find new firmware to repair it. I installed "system update" program from Johnnyk7 firmware, it starting, but doesn't working. Because this android tv doesn't have recovery mode, i make flashing script to adb and flash recovery image. It was flashed, but doesn't work again. When i risky and flash boot.img... Now device starting, but freeze on the "Android your tv" logo.

[PCUSER]

try to upload the firmware...

I doesn't know how to make it, because device didn't load into android. I think, that i need to make a flashable sdcard and somehow flash device with it.

P.S. Are you from Russia?

 

[zuluman]

does anyone know how to root android tv box.
?

 

[PCUSER]

zuluman, use z4root for android 2.2 or gingerbreak for android 2.3.
