Ok, guys, it’s time to play with the new rom for the other quad core tv sticks.
This rom is made by our friends, and special for Geekbuying Customers 🙂 It is base on the latest firmware for QC802 RK3188 quad core tv sticks, and we have tested it can work well.
Because Rikomagic MK802IV , QC802, UG007B, MK809 III has the same hardware, so this custom rom should also work on those device.
Changlog:
Make to real 1080p output in these device;
Please notice, the real 1080p output will make your device hotter, so flash at your own risk.
Firmware Download Link, please click here
How to install?
1 Download the firmware above;
2 Decompress the file you just download;
3 click” RKDevelopTOOL_V1.37″ folder and run”RKandroidtool”
4 find a paper clip and press the recovery button in QC802/MK809III/UG007B (reovery hole is in the side of those tv sticks) and AT THE SAME TIME, put the micro usb cable in the OTG port(not the DC port) and connect with your PC;
5 now your pc should inform you find a new device, and go to “my computer‘ –“device manager” to install the drivers, the driver is also in the download file.
6 after install the driver, the RKANDROIDTOOL will inform you foundRKandroid rock usb, and then click” RUN” button.
Some Screenshot after you made the upgrade:
After running this, it installs the CWM Bootloader. How do I run the RKAndroidTool again with the CWM Bootloader? Because the recovery button + OTG USB cable doesn’t work anymore…
Thanks for this custom rom. Flashed to my MK809 III however there is no 1080 option available in the HDMI settings and WiFi and BT aren’t working. Anyone got any ideas on how to get the 1080 HDMI setting to be available? No so bothered about the BT and Wifi.
you get the MK809III from us? i think you get the other mk809 iii, with different wifi/bluetooth chipest. that’s why you lost your wifi/bluetooth.
Hello,
Does rikomagic releases the MK809 now with a rom that delivers true 1080P screen output ?
Hello,
I have installed this firmware and it doesn’t work well, the screen flashes or it doesn’t boot. wifi ok. keyboard or mouse ok.
Are there other firmware?
I had purchase mk809iii and to set the resolution to 1080 from 720, have flashed three ROM, the best match so far has proven to be this one as I am retaining an effective connection of wifi along with better resolution. The problem I am facing is, I cannot my device to my phone through rkremote as it does not identify the device in search mode. Even when trying wifi direct, the device identifies my phone but does’nt happen the otherway, so we have problem in here also. Tethering and portable hotspot establishes the connection. The system does’nt reboot after SuperSU and trying to achieve my results by droidmote server and client, facing same issue, client doest not locate the server and asks for root access which I am not having.
How can I be assisted to establish control over my mk809iii by rkremote or droidmote from my smart phone Samsung S4. As it says, it requires root access, where can I have that from. Can you help please.
@Vijay – the root access required for rkremote is on the dongle NOT on your phone. I have the rkremote running on my Galaxy s3 lte which is not rooted and it works pretty well. droidmote will require root access on the phone.
Hi.
in order to flash the new firmware i need my device (MK809iii) to be rooted?
if so is there a good guide about how to perform this?
thanks.

So I installed this on my UG007B and it rendered it useless. Wifi and Bluetooth STOPPED Working so I had no way to reinstall CWM Recovery the easy way use ArcTools App to recover my backup. Therefore I had to attach UG007B to my Computer and copy files and apps over and manually install using Terminal Emulaor. To copy apps over, I downloaded apps to another tablet then used App Baackup and Restore (Free on PlayStore) to create an APK files, copy that to computer, then copy to UG007B.
Here are instructions and zip file for CWM Recovery on UG007B
install cwm recovery from any rom and without pc.
1. Install from play store the free apps Terminal emulator (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=es) (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=es)and busybox installer(https://play.google.com/store/apps/d….busybox&hl=es (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=es))
2. Open busybox installer, grant superuser permission,Use normal install (Not smart Install) then when it finish close the app.
3. Download http://www.freak-tab.de/leolas/cwm/term-install.zipfrom your stick, it must be downloaded in /sdcard/download/ (this is the default folder if you use the stock browser for download it.
4. Download your specific cwm zip from this thread and it need to be in /sdcard/download too.
5. Open Terminal emulator and write:
