How to put mk903v into download mode to update firmware?? You skipped this step in your tutorial
hi there, Markus
I passed over your presentation of option for Android tool. Well all clear, but…
I just recently bought Rikomagic MK902II basing on on RK 3288. While obviously my box has many bugs, manufacturer anounced several updates inclusive the Rikomagic MK902II RKBatchTooland related WIN drivers. I installed drivers (ok with some troubles) but I get drivers installed. Whatever I do I can not get connected to RK batch tool. No devices are shown connected what ever I do. So I found one discussion saying that Androifdtool can be used as well. I tried with version v2.3 and really get one device connected. I followed similar procedure as you proposed but I get error back after first step “checking”… do you have any idea how to resolve this problem or you know some other solution?
thanks in advance Tazo
Hello. on my mk903V netflix is not working. I can login and see all the shows. But when I try to watch, it is stuck at loading screen. Can you please help?
Hi, I have a Windows 8.1 laptop and the AndroidTool fails to even run. The message from Windows states “This app can’t run on your PC”. So I tried on a Windows 7 VM, and the app runs, but does not detect any devices when I connect the MK903V to the PC via USB. I have installed the drivers as mentioned in your instructions. I notice that the two USB connection sockets on the MK903V both provide power to the device, which one should be connected to the PC? Any hints on how to get the MK903V recognised by AndroidTool?
Hi,
I have a Windows 8.1 laptop. I have downloaded and installed the Drivers, as detailed above, but when I connect my MK903V to the laptop via USB it is not recognised. When I run the AndroidTool progam it states “No devices detected”. Which USB socket on the MK903V should be connected to the PC? I have tried both, and also applied power to the DC5v in socket when connecting the other to the laptop, but it never sees the device. Advice or suggestions please, I need to try the update because firmware 1.0.0.0 is incredibly buggy!
