Again
This ROM is made by BOB Finless on freaktab and base on the MK808B Android 4.2.2 beta stock firmware we release, so all credit to this guys:
This is ONLY for the Original MK808B. It is not for the MK808B clones.
Changelog:
1) Rooted with an updated SU and Superuser.apk that works with 4.2.2
2) Debloated (there is a folder called bloat APPs that contain what I removed).
3) As always, full init.d support! If you do not know what that is… ignore it. For geeks that want to use it. It is there!
4) Gameloft fix. This fixes Gameloft games from crashing to the desktop.
Many of them do not run and crash to the desktop. This is due to a license check based on the device.
Special thanks to Christian Troy for inventing this fix. I modded it for this ROM.
5) Phone carrier fix for Google Market unlock (more APPs show up).
For some reason this was not built in like other stock ROMs.
6) I unlocked hidden settings:
-> Accessability
-> Location Services
However unlocking location services causes a battery icon to show in the system tray.
I have not figured out why… it odd for sure. Something to work on later
If you want to get rid of it, edit the file:
/system/etc/permissions/settings_disabled_menu_list.xml
7) All Google APPs updated except Google Search
8) Busybox that I like best Wraitdu 1.19.4
9) 1gb and up to 4gb parameter files available for more APP space. 1GB is the default for the flash tool.
Stock ROM had only 512MB APP space.
See below for instruction to use other parameter files to change you APP space
10) I added Xbox360 keylayout to fix some games and camera spin with xbox 360 controller. Per this post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show….php?t=1792531
11) Changed build.prop so USB connaction to PC is a Mass Storage device and not a MTP device.
This ROM has no settings to change that at all (I will fix that later). I prefer a Mass Storage device myself.
You can easily change it back in build.prop. I commented out the MTP line.
12) Petrus reboot APP is added.

If you want to check the stock mk808b android 4.2.2 firmware, you can visit here
Get Original MK808B from here:
Bluetooth and wifi dont work. In stock 4.2.2 all right.
this is just for original mk808B, if your wifi and bluetooth don’t work, then you must have copy one.
hmm..Finless 1.7 for original MK808B works fine. how can i know original or not? in dmesg i see “current wifi chip is RK903″…
check on freaktab, there are instruction to teach you how to tell the original and clone.
impossible, we have flashed many times, working! please try to flash again.
Ok i try one more time tomorow..
Wifi and bt not working here!
Mk808B bought from you a few weeks ago!
Seems like it is the ROM for a MK808. Also openscreen is telling MK808.
I have the original MK808B from you… and with this ROM WIFI is NOT working.
ok .. I tried to download it again, but wifi and bluetooth still does not work!
On the original firmware 4.2.2 wifi and bluetooth work normally, but the whole system works very slowly!
Still the best performing version 1.6A Fineless!
I hope that you will eliminate error as soon as possible …
tnx
Tried this ROM, Wifi and BT do not work. They can not be turned on, Rock Settings says Wifi status is Error.
Ordered my 808B from Geekbuying, and was running the 1.7 rom previously.
Flashed, didn’t work. Erased IDB and reflashed, didn’t work.
Also ROM is set to 1080p output, but that looks like coloured pixy dust… needed to reset it to 720p in the screen settings.
me too….flash this rom wifi and bluetooth does not work! but Finless 1.7 can work….why?????
hmmm, sorry, we have found the problem, BOB is working on the new working firmware. wait patience. now you can go back to the stock mk808b android 4.2.2 firmware.
Sorry for the problem, we have found the reason, and bob is working hard to fix it, please first go back to the original mk808b android 4.2.2 stock firmware, and later we will release the new custom rom for android 4.2 mk808b.
sorry, we find the problem, and we are fixing it as soon as possible. wait patience.
I should also have stated, that I don’t have an SD card in, so it has nothing to do with that (I saw that listed as a possible reason for Wifi not working on Freaktab)
Hi all,
any news regarding the fixed firmware?
Does wifi and bluetooth works now?

Hi,
I am flashing my MK808B using the ROM image given above. Going through the steps in the Read Me First, I am stuck on step 4 to get the device into flash mode. The flash tool cannot detect my MK808B. The instructions mention change of settings, but where are these settings – not such menu in the flash tool? Please advise.

Thanks

Finless Bob already solved the problem, WiFi and BT work fine.

Does Netflix works on this rom? Mine came with JB 4.2.2 from geekbuying last week. I installed Netflix but video was scrambled.
NO, as far as we know, the netflix don’t work with any android 4.2 tv stick, i have tried a lot, no lucky, if you need netflix, just flash back to android 4.1
@ Joerg
My MK808B cannot boot up and so I cannot access its Settings. I need to go through this flashing process because the device has stopped booting up. How can it be that I need to access the device settings in the flashing process?

@ Nitin
I understand, but in the instructions README FIRST.TXT you can read following:
If it does not say that go into settings and make sure that
a) USB storage is turned ON
b) Under developer options, USB debugging is turned off
Why this must be turned off is a miracle of the developer.
Maybe Geekbuying Admin can help in this case.
@ Geekbuying Admin … Can you help?
best,
Joerg
Can I install the XBMC?
YES,you can.
