It's weird that my firmware is nearly not as up to date as yours. Mine does have the original Android OS side menu you show on that last post you made on the 6.0 thread.
I keep getting I'm on the latest version. I'll try a few more times. Not that big of a deal as I'm not trying to fix any issue.

Nice, I'll try that. I assume it's the global version, not China right? Just pain to setup all over again, login, download apps.
Also, try to keep it in English, otherwise moderators will chime in. Valeu!
Hi!
I found out that my projector is running system 9.0 and not TVOS 9.0
Could someone tell me how to install TVOS system on my t2max? Thanks

I didn't even know the difference. Mine is running TV OS, and thus no OTA. My version is from Nov 2021.

there is a difference that with TVos you have more adjustment options for your monitor, being only Android 9.0 you are limited, it looks like a cell phone system in the project. HORRIBLE!

Hello!
I also have the Wambo T2 Max with android 9.0 my firmware is Sep112021-190039. I managed to upgrade to your version, but the lag is still there with an HDMI input if I use any type of keystone correction which enables zoom.
Without zoom it is perfect, but still, it's a bummer as I have to reset the zoom to 0 all the time for me to not have the lag. Might help a little @andresousa.com
Oh and also you need to extract the files from the zip on the USB ( I actually had both the ZIP and the extracted files together so not sure which worked ) and make sure your USB has a FAT32 format. Before you plug your USB in, take the AC cord out, insert the USB and then turn on the projector, you will have to wait for it to do its thing.
I have done tests with GPU rendering on and EDID 2.0, still the same shuttering with any keystone/zoom settings. I still have to see how it behaves in these conditions with the 1080p settings.
The thread from beforehand recommended using ABD commands and the Chinese Launcher, which I might try to see if it changes anything... .
T2 Max Android 9, Oct152021 firmware. Not sure if it's TVOS or Android.
Supplied PrimeVideo does work (old version) but latest PrimeVideo from Google store fails when playing video (Sometihing went wrong is displayed).
Any idea ?
Moreover, software update does not display new version :-(

Thanks, but I couldn't downgrade the software... I don't think they allow that.

That's the thing, I do t use the HDMI, at the moment. Most of my usage is within apps installed on the projector itself.
I also did install the developer options app and enabled the force GPU rendering option, and lowered the animations. You can try that.
I haven't tried the ADB hack for overclocking the CPU. I'm also not using the original launcher and using the HALauncher instead
Can't confirm the Prime video as I don't have it. I have tested successfully Stremio, Netflix, Crunchyroll (too much propaganda, better use the web version with Brave Browser), RedBull TV, YouTube, and some others so far.

I downloaded this and it only contains MTK368P.bin,unlike the previous firmware I updated which contains more files and it update via the bootable method.
So for this MTK368P.bin, we have to update via the GUI and NOT via the bootable method? Thanks.

POMP C6S 5.5" NFC/Octa-Core 1.7GHz MTK6592 2GB RAM/32GB ROM DualSIM / 1920x1080 FHD
Topic is about the new POMP C6S 5.5" NFC/Octa-Core 1.7GHz MTK6592 2GB RAM/32GB ROM DualSIM / 1920x1080 FHD.
Let us collect all hacking & development info here about this device, and help each other.
First impressions
This is a really HIGH QUALITY phone from China.
What I like about it? I like the simple square design, and the screen is big and clear, when off the screen is 100% black (not grey). Also the phone is pretty thin. Another great plus is the high build quality and that it has REAL features like NFC, OTG, MHL/HDMI, WIFI DIRECT/Miracast and 2GB RAM/32GB ROM!
Pros: The phone is very fast! 28800 in AnTuTu says it all. High build quality and very good materials. The screen is also of a very high quality, and the fact that the whole screen is totally black when off is something I really like. The batterylife is very good, it seems to be a true 3000 mah battery in this device. The phone has a dedicated hardware button for the camera. The SIMtray is a dualsimtray for 2 micro SIM cards. The reception/signal is strong in this device, so far I had no problems when talking with people. The sound/backspeaker and headphone quality is also very good and loud. The phone support real OTA, OTG, MHL, Miracast, Airgestures in both ways and NFC which is real nice features.
Cons: The UI is not everyones taste - but you can just install another launcher! No notification LED as far I can see.
The lockscreen is pretty standard. The backcover can not be removed, also the builtin memory can't be extended, but it comes with total 32GB ROM. The price for this phone is a bit high, but on the other hand, you get a phone with high quality! For some people this phone may be too big, it has a 5.5 inch screen.
Benchmarks
AnTuTu score is: 28822

Hey, you can see how it work here in my video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ws8_aZ2Gsg4
it is basically the same for the Pomp C6S (and all other MTK6592) as for the phone I use in that video.
You just need a TV with miracast builtin, or an external miracast dongle connected to it. Then on the phone you go in the settings and connect it. You don't need any extra software etc.
The POMP also support cable, MHL to HDMI, so you can connect via cable also to a TV.
Thank you i will try
By the way, here you have updated version v2.03 multilanguage for this phone ive already uploaded in case you dont have installed (i dont think so normally it comes with v2.00) http://www.needrom.com/mobile/pomp-c6s-2/ and tell me how it works with your phone, it seems to be bit better

Hi thanks, I have 2.02 it seems. So 2.03 have how many languages? Do I just put C6Spomp_92_cn_fhd_en_fomat_v2.03_kashua.zip on the sdcard in the root? and then choose update from locale file in the settings? or just with Spflashtool?
How did you root your C6S?
Any other changes in 2.03? And do I have to clear any caches or factory reset afterwards? Where did you get 2.03 from? (sorry for all the questions )

its always recommended when install rom wipe date, cache and dalvik cache, but do as you like, i did all that...i installed it from recovery no spflashtool needed (install update from zipcard) i didnt use local update and dont know changelog but if its an upgrade i think something will improve, i hope
For rooting use: vroot http://www.mgyun.com/en/getvroot easiest way

¿?Nothing of this happens to me, just only plug phone and run vroot, connect device, install or update program downloading some archives, at the end of this proccess vroot teel you model and if its possible root, you just push root and it does the rest, the phone will reboot 1 or 2 times and finally youll see rooted on program and the phone will have installed vroot program (like su) and other chinese one like google play, try again and be patient if you dont have powerful pc it takes a bit longer

Ok I used http://www.shuame.com/en/root/ instead now, and with that it worked right away, don't know why I was unable to root it with vROOT but nevermind, and thx for your help.
Did you try any of the custom roms on needrom? http://www.needrom.com/?s=POMP+C6S&sa=search&scat=0
I see there are 3 custom ROMs now for the C6S.

Bugs/Cons:
In stocklauncher with stock firmware you can not add widgets. But you can install another launcher, then it will work fine.
This is soon going to be fixed in a future update according to the manufacture.
No backlight in the touchbuttons.
Device will get a little hot around the camera area on the back, when running 3D games.
Camera could be better, but it is generally ok for the price!

It works okay, but mostly just a gimmick!
ROOT
Can be done with vRoot 1.7.8 (from official site)
Or find pre-rooted firmware on needrom.com (remember to update vROOT to latest version after the flash).

GPS is good, it locks in between 40-55 seconds.

Hi,
Great start of new topic/model, and nice links to possible fixes.
I just received my Elephone P2000 and after a few days I am still in doubt about it.
It is a lot of phone for little money, but looking at the specs I had my expectations set a bit higher.
Okay, maybe I am a bit prejudiced as I use this phone to replace my iPhone 5s
I ran into the same issue with adding Widgets, so I am glad there is a fix. Thanks for that !
The main problem I am still facing (and on bbs.elephone.hk I read that I am not the only one) is the Wifi connection. It keeps dropping at random. This makes the phone utterly useless for me since push mail, whatsapp, newsflash, etc are simply unreliable
I think the 720p screen is not as bad as some reviewers state. Even for a big 5.5" screen it is quite okay. Still in doubt if 5.5" is the right size for me
The camera however is a real disappointment, 13MP but grainy and unfocused.
Battery runs out quite fast. Even without WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS I managed to run out within 4 hours of fiddling around.
Although memory seems plenty, I ran out of memory quite rapidly when installing software, and found that adding a microSD card and using APP2SD solved my problem.
It took me a while to figure out how to place the 2 SIM cards (1 regular and one micro) and the microSD memory card, but once I managed to fit them this really works fantastic.
I hope Elephone will come up with more software updates since this could really be a nice phone for a nice price, and 5.5" is really in the demand at the moment.
Keep up the good work with adding updates and user experiences! Thanks !
Thanks for your feedback! I agree that the phone can not be compared to a iPhone 5. But also remember the huge price difference!
You also cant compare a Porsche with an Audi, both fine cars, but they are not the same class and cost different.
Regarding the WiFi, it is strange, because I have not experienced any problems with the WiFi on mine. It always works stable. But I agree that the camera could have been much better, its not super good. Just ok for fun pictures I would say.
Battery in standby mode is good for me, several days, but when I use it, only max 1 day. But try to disable GPS and Googles location service, it uses a lot of extra battery! And if it doesn't help, turn the brightness of the screen 10% down.
excuse me guys...it's vroot secure for unlock the elephone? i read about a malware in vroot process....

Hi,
I used VRoot 1.73 from vrootdownload.org and mgyun.com/en/GetVRoot since this was supposed to be in English. The newer 1.7.8 seems to be available only in Chinese, and my Chinese is quite limited
Installation is quite easy (start the setup on your Windows machine/virtual-machine and do not choose all the extra software and browser add-ons, start the VRoot program, hook up the phone to your system, press ROOT...and wait..phone reboots and windows software states 'rooted'). After installation I found 2 Icons with chinese text on the phone, 1 containing (chinese) advertisements and links to other software from the developer mgyun, and one supposedly something to do with the rooting/super-user proces (also most text and choices in chinese). The rooting proces is quite simple...and appears successful (apps requiring root access do start).
However, chinese pop-ups keep coming up when a proces requires root/superuser access and I have no clue what choices to make.
This made me decide to 'unroot' and remove the software. The chinese advertisement link remains on the phone, but this can easily be uninstalled.

I completely agree that this phone is in another league and cannot be compared to iPhone. The price is incredible for this phone, plus the huge 5,5" inch screen (bigger screens seem to be the current 'fashion'), dual sim, and the fantastic specs made me buy it. Without looking at the specs (octacore, memory, fingerprint, ips, etc) I would have been amazed...simply because of its price and neat design.
I have seemed to narrow the WiFi problem down to problems with DHCP. When I assign a fixed address the phone disconnects (according to wifi fixer) and reconnects, but when using dhcp things appear to go wrong. At home of course I can assign a fixed address, but at work and public places this is no option. There seem to be multiple users on the elephone forum that experience similar wifi problems, so I hope there will be a fix.
Interesting to see if there will be a stable and supported version of MIUI rom for the P2000, did you try the beta ?
Thanks!

Just flash this ROM with Spflashtool from needrom http://www.needrom.com/mobile/elephone-p2000-3/
After that you will have ROOT, not with vROOT but with normal SuperSU (not in Chinese). Also this ROM fixes the widgets and gives you wake gestures, so you can for example draw a C when the screen is off and it starts the Camera, or you just double tap to wake the screen.
I did not try the MIUI beta, because some features still don't work.
tnx
i prefer make root in a clean rom. can i use framaroot? i don't see elephone in compatibility list...any one have used frama root?

That ROM is clean, it is from Elephone and also the only ROM that fixes the widgets. Framaroot cant root this phone. If you want to root your old ROM manually you can only do it with the "read back method" and MTK droidtools plus Sp flash tool.
Read back root tutorial here by ITXtutor (but it is more complicated)
http://www.china-devices.com/Thread-100-Working-ROOT-CWM-Readback-your-ROM-with-SP-Flash-Tools
ok
mhmm...ok i think that i try needrom's rom xD hahaahahaha
so..i read this in rom description:
I do NOT recommend to flash the "Preloader" so please untick that part in SP Flash Tools before you flash!
(You can flash it anyway without the Preloader, then it will just keep your original on the phone).
ALWAYS have a working backup of your original ROM before you flash a new unknown ROM.

Just untick the Preloader in Spflash tool after you loaded the scatter file and before you then flash, so you flash everything but the Preloader. Its safer to keep the original Preloader intact on the phone.

No, there is no problem that you don't flash the Preloader. The Preloader is the same, both ROMs are 4.4.2 Kitkat, only change is that the new ROM has fixed widgets and some extra features. Even IF there should be a problem, you could always flash the preloader afterwards again. But it is recommended never to flash the Preloader, better just leave the original on the phone. But if you want you can also just try to flash it, should be okay. But its not necessary.
On older devices, flashing the Preloader could brick them (in the told days) therefore it is not recommended. And you don't need to flash the Preloader when you flash new ROM, so why run the risk?

No the ROM don't change your camera or speed. Its the same as you current ROM, just with some fixes. If your not satisfied with the ROM then just flash the old ROM back again. The stock normal ROM can also be found on needrom.com

SuperSU can give problems with this ROM and some applications that can be resolved by replacing SuperSU by Superuser from ClockworkMod.
I had problems with Titanium Backup and those were solved by the change above.
Which USB drivers P2000 and Win 8.1 64bit?
Can anyone tell me which usb drivers to use for Elephone P2000 in Win 8.1 64bit.
Droid Tools en SP Flashtool do not see my phone.
Thanks in advance.
Update:
I used a windows 7 PC with pdanet mtk drivers and was successfull in flashing my phone!!!
Android or MIUI
Hi,
I followed your instructions and was able to flash the P2000. Thanks for the instructions and the link to the ROM
When starting I noticed that the icons look quite different from the default Android icons, they look much more like the MIUI icons. Is the ROM from your first post really a factory ROM provided by Elephone ??
The new ROM btw still has many of the original problems (WiFi and memory plus power management) but at least the widgets can be added and SuperUser works, so I am quite happy with it.
Thanks

This is my first Xiaomi phone and it seemed to arrive with a Chinese ROM on it (V7.3.14.0.MBCCNDC) so I have been trying to change it to a proper official Global ROM with zero success so far.
I have downloaded the ROM from here: http://en.miui.com/download-302.html
Filename: miui_MIMAXGlobal_V7.5.3.0.MBCMIDE_267a7c4439_6.0.zip
If I follow either of these guides (I do not need TWRP, just the official ROM) then I always end up failing at the same part.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max/how-to/installing-twrp-locked-bootloader-t3406501
http://en.miui.com/thread-307139-1-1.html
I reboot the phone into EDL mode by holding down both volume buttons and then connecting a USB cable after the phone has vibrated and stayed on a black screen. The PC then detects the phone as a Qualcomm device and assigns a port number to it.
MiFlash then finds the port number and I point the file browser to the extracted zip folder named: miui_MIMAXGlobal_V7.5.3.0.MBCMIDE_267a7c4439_6.0
After selecting the clean all radio button at the bottom and then pressing the flash button the status and time elapsed meters start moving and then after a few seconds the status changes to 'can not read from port COMxx' (I have used a few different port numbers so it can be COM10, COM20, COM3 etc).
So far I have tried this on three different PC's, 2 running Windows 10 and 1 running Windows 7, and the result is the same every time.
If I download the update file on the phone, rename it to update.zip and then place the update.zip file in the root of the internal storage drive and choose update from file on the phone then the phone reboots to a spinning circle for a while before restarting normally.
I also tried rebooting the phone into recovery mode from the built-in update app and connected it to Mi PC Suite but that just updated it to V7.5.6.0 MBCCNDE which is another China ROM so its still of no use to me really.
Can anybody help with this? This process really shouldn't be so difficult and I am starting to consider sending this phone back. I have made an application with Xiaomi to have the bootloader unlocked but that can take over a week and tbh I don't really want an unlocked bootloader anyway because I have no interest in custom ROM's, root access or special recovery options.
I have seen many people with that problem and haven't seen any working solution yet...
I understand you don't want TWRP or unlocked bootloader but that's the only way you can get the job done and forget all these buggy Xiaomi tools.
Something else you can try... Google QFILwhich is the Qualcomm flash tool and does the same thing what MiFlash does. Search and read the guides how to unbrick Qualcomm devices with QFIL. All additional files needed like flasher, partitions.xml etc are in MIUI fastboot ROM already. Actually MiFlash is based on that tool I think...
Good luck.

Thanks but I'm a bit cautious about being the first person to try to use that QFIL flashing utility with this phone, especially since this phone stupidly doesn't include an integrated recovery system. I've found a generic tutorial for it but it looks pretty scary tbh.
http://www.androidbrick.com/ultimat...agons-are-unbrickable-qhsusb_dload_qpst_qfil/
Incidentally when I updated the phone using Mi PC Suite it killed the Google Play Services and I couldn't fix them so I did a normal factory restore and it has restored to a standard China ROM (MIUI 7.5 | Stable 7.5.6.0 (MBCCNDE) so clearly the vendor flashed some weird custom version to this before they sent it to me.
Honestly, this thing is starting to drive me insane.
You have to use these drivers for your Qualcomm port: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9oNcsjcOpNHZjI1OWtFSDFfS3c/view?usp=sharing
Delete the original Windows driver and install it again through device manager.

Thanks, I'll give it a try with that driver tomorrow. I did try another driver that I found on Google as well as the auto installed driver because it looked like a communication problem to me.
There's a driver pack on that Xiaomi tips website but I haven't been able to install it because the hosting used by that website is terrible and it just times out.
OK so I think I updated the driver using the one from your link but unfortunately the error is the same.
I uninstalled the device through DM and it self-installed this driver.

Then I used the Update driver > Browse > Let me pick > Have Disk option to force the driver from your link to install so the driver was updated to this:
The error in MiFlash is still exactly the same though: can not read from port COMxx.
OK the problem here seems to be that MiFlash cannot support standard recovery ROM's. It has to use those larger ones with the scripts etc included.
I was able to flash this with no problems whatsoever: http://en.miui.com/thread-324576-1-1.html
However I'm worried that might not be the official software and I want to keep this simple and official and get all updates OTA in future.
Unfortunately the only global full ROM available for this phone on the MIUI website is the Developer build.
http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
The version I have just flashed also doesn't include locales for the UK or Japan and I spend most of my time in those countries. I've set it to Singapore for now but I feel like I'm right back to square one with this thing.
From what I read official MIUI Global is missing many locales and that's why people are using xiaomi.eu ROM. I even suggested in there forum to stop calling it global b/c its not and call Asia or something...

The included country list on it is quite frankly bizarre. It includes some European countries but not others and has options for the Falkland Islands and St. Kitts but no option for Britain or the United States.

The problem is with no UK locale I don't know if I can get the IR Blaster working.
It's a small problem in the grand scheme of things but still one I would like to fix if I can.
@ Blood Rose - I am assuming so far you've kept the boot loader locked and flashed the global stable 7.5 version - on your 32 GB device? did you lose data - did you get any OTAs (security patches). I am looking to go to miui 8 - possibly chinese - the global development may not be as timely. Also I have the 64 gb version and there's not much going on the global ROM versions for that one.

I did flash a global stable version of 7.5. It's the latest official rom I believe. I did a full wipe to make sure all traces of the Chinese stuff were gone. Because its the latest official version ut hasn't received any OTA updates yet but it at least seems to connect to the official servers to check whereas the ROM the phone came with couldn't.
My bootloader is now unlocked because the MIUI forum staff offered to do immediately for me so I figured I might as well but I will not be using root or any custom builds.
Thanks

That depends on what you want to change it to. If it is a newer/alternative official ROM then that is easy. If it is to a custom ROM then you need an unlocked bootloader.

Hi BloodRose,
Does the Xiaomi ROM support large file sizes, like an HD movie?
I am doing research on the Mi Max before buying.
I am based in the US, and it will not be my primary phone.
Thanks,
My Phone is UK version 6gb 128GB

Thanks for the offer but it has to be the v11.0.7.0. Sadly.
I have the v11.0.6.0 but as explained the front camera is not supported on newer built hardware using this firmware version. Basically mi changed the front camera and maybe other hardware on these devices. They unified the kernels in the latest 10 update but 9 is still fragmented.

The v11.0.7.0. is an OTA recovery update, did you try to get it through updates?
No OTA's for me except the latest Android 10 update. This 11.0.7 firmware is not available any place and I have searched every official source. Since mi didn't do an official release of this firmware for the begonia I think it's the on device shipped firmware so someone would of needed to make a backup. I never gave it a second thought thinking everything would be Equal but it seems not. :crying:
OK then maybe @bigrammy could try the next update to see what happens, no need to update but only to download the package and share it here.
I also searched and nothing.
Maybe you could try with this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-mix-2/how-to/guide-reverse-engineering-xiaomi-ota-t3691612 I used to use similar method to catch some early updates on Samsung devices although is pretty probable that Xiaomi dropped this release for some reason.

Thanks but the only OTA I ever get is Android 10 even if I flash the the 11.0.6 firmware. I am well used to all this stuff rolling back and forth and capturing updates etc etc on many devices like Sonys, Nokia, etc but sadly nothing arrived for this v11.0.7.
I guess I will need to wait till someone does a backup of the shipped Android 9 firmware of these newer devices. :fingers-crossed:
@bigrammy
So...you need someone with new camera hardware and correct Android 9 version. Will TWRP backup be enough to get cam drivers?

Indeed. I didn't expect that Xiaomi changed front camera sensor. MIUI has terrible RAM management, so custom ROM is the only reasonable option.
To be honest I don't have TWRP backup, but I thought of buying a second N8 Pro, unlock it, take a TWRP backup and then return it to shop (with relocked bootloader of course).
If it helps the devs - why not?

OK I see. Well I wouldn't worry about it too much because without the camera driver kernel source there is not much can be done really.
The main reason for wanting the Android 9 stock ROM is I had hoped to try some experimentation using the Stock "kernel" which is fully compatible with the Engineering lk and preloader (Can Use SPFlashTool) .
I would not risk buying another one of these phones again until the official source code is updated with the New front camera driver until then we're kind of stuck.
I keep a close eye on any updates for this device and or any other Xiaomi MTK devices that could use this camera in the future.

They are used in Redmi K30 Ultra which is MTK SoC also so merging the selfie camera drivers into the (begonia) RN8P should be doable.
I am not 100% sure if they would be compatible or if they still rely on (need) the base S5K3T2_MIPI_RAW driver.
Comms with the main dev's is pretty poor and it seems like a bit of a closed club so I can't really ask any meaningful questions. I can only suggest and point and hope they pick it up and use it if it's workable.
I raised an issue on github some time ago but never got any reply just a bunch of commits that seemed unrelated to the camera. https://github.com/AgentFabulous/begonia/issues/1
We could do with a commited XDA kernel dev who is happy to use this forum platform rather than "social media like telegram, twitter, facebook sort of nonsense" which is not my idea of sharing and Learning.
Following anything on those platforms is near impossible for me as everything is a bunch of fragmented one liners
Maybe it's a age thing IDK (It means I Dont Know seemingly )

Yes that's the EU firmware for the Newer Camera like mine. If you could make a backup that would cool
I have it. how to backup the rom?
@kinder_surprise
First - you have to unlock bootloader and then install non CFW TWRP Recovery

As @wojownikhaha as said the first step is to unlock the bootloader following the official way which is a long drawn out process sadly.
Once you have unlocked the bootloader you need to flash the engineering preloader and LK from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-info-psa-redmi-note-8-pro-megathread-cfw.4056527/
Personally I would then just use SPFlashTool to do a "Read Back" of the device as I am not 100% sure if TWRP would boot without a modified boot.img installed which would require overwriting OUR stock boot.img with a boot.img from the other devices without these newer cameras if that makes sense
Put simply we need a copy of our device boot.img.
If TWRP is allowed to boot without any mods to the boot.img then fine simply make a TWRP backup.
Otherwise SPFlashTool is needed to do a backup of our stock partitions.
Let me know what level your at with all this stuff so we can better guide you if required.
Thanks bigrammy

I confirm - this is possible. I was able to boot to recovery just after installation (on first Note with 11.0.7.0)
Anyway, I will provide full TWRP backup of stock 11.0.5.0 on next Thursday.

Hi Thanks for the confirmation that it is possible to boot TWRP without the need to flash a modified boot.img first.
Looking forward to the EU 11.0.5.0 firmware

Thank you! i've been searching for international version for ages. Sadly the 1080p playback stutter when keystone correction turned on haven't been fixed yet.
By the way, have anyone know where to download the Chinese firmware version?
Edit:
I tried to install it. At first it didn't read my flash drive because it was formatted in NTFS no blinking LED light, just straight to Home screen. So then i reformat it to FAT32 and the power indicator LED blinks. But then it said "software upgrade error" and booted back to original home screen. Anyone know the solution to this? I already placed the firmware file in the root folder. It was 32GB Flashdrive

i also experienced the same problem during the software upgrade. it was failed at 1% of the upgrade and projector was turned off automatically. I copied the firmware file into the flash memory(2GB) once again and it worked. I don't know why.. but please try to download the file and copy it into the flash memory once again. If it doesn't work, try with another old flash memory.

You must use USB 2.0 and format in FAT32.
Hello,
I just installed the international firmware on my Wanbo T2 Max, and it's work pretty well.
But now the screen is a bit laggy (like when the "zoom" option was activated), and I don't see any option to disable it...
Also, I installed Chromecast built in app from Google Play, but my phone doesn't see it

International version seems to be always zoom on. No setting for deactivation. Chromecast built in not working for me too. If you install Youtube TV then you can link mobile to Wanbo by TV code in youtube TV setting. https://knowhowbank.tistory.com/115
There's no way to have keystone correction without lag with international ?
Is there a way to have fast cast (miracast or chromecast) with this projector ?

International version(Sep 2020) is lower than the newest one(Nov 2020) and looks like the very initial version which had been released before it was officially sold.
There is no option to disable zoom function at the moment as far as I know.
I am wondering how we reach out to developer in Wanbo. Email to Wanbo service team in Chine always returned.
We will need to ask the manufacturer for the fix the issue with keystone in future release.
I cannot easily find a website or email for Wanbo online. Are you aware of one?
Is there a way to install custom roms on this device ?
I would like to get a true Android TV

Guys,
I just created a video showing how you can update this projector with the just-released international/global firmware.
This firmware is very stable and it comes with Google Play store too!

I am never able to get thwebsite to load unfortunately...
The fan mod looks immense, a bit more than I am wanting to do at the moment however!
My main gripes with the international firmware at the moment are the frame drops (YouTube for example) and the low resolution Netflix playback. Maybe also some audio lag. If these issues can be fixed that would be great for me. Is anyone else experiencing other issues?

I'm actually using the last chinese firmware (20112311). I removed some of chinese app and installed custom launcher. Disabling zoom option make it way more smooth.
I don't need play store, most of useful apps can't be installed there... I rather use apkpure or aptoide.
Also, if this firmware doesn't solve the lag of the keystone correction (and even don't allow to disable it), he's completely useless...
Hi guys, i want to share my experience. I have the stock chinese version of android and also with zoom settings on i can see images very smooth. You Just need to enable Developer Settings and activate "Enable GPU rendering". Also i activate with remote controller HDMI EDID Version 2.0. Tested with Google Chromecast 3 generation and Xiaomi mi box, with same good resulta.

You should try 1080p/60fps video playback.
It's still lag for me, even with GPU rendering enabled...
