Finless MINIX X8-H Plus Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop) ROM 1.0

Hello Marty,
I really thank you for your help.
I also appreciate the Readme files and the folder separated for each section.

Happy christmas
Andrea

Make sure you extract it as it has the extras included, the flashable ROM via SD Card is obviously in the ROM folder:

Hi


I hope someone can help me.
I was in the official Lollipop ROM and I tried to install this finless 1.1 ROM

I used option 1 to install it.
I hold the reset then powered on the device.
It showed this screen 1.jpg then when It was about 95% on the progress bar it restarted
and showed this screen.2.jpg

But unfortunately it goes back to the 1st image, progress to 90-95% then restarts again.

I also tried option 3 where I just leave the "neox8plus_finless_1_1.zip" in the sd card then hold the reset button and power on.
It shows the Finless Bob ROM image but instead of going to the recovery menu it just shows a black screen which has an occasional small white lines appearing.3.jpg..
Tried a couple of times but still going back to black screen...


I hope someone can help me....
Kinda sad as my daughter uses this to watch her Blippi/Cocomelon shows, I was trying this ROM in hopes that Youtube will finally play smoothly...

Thank you.


PS> I still have the sd card in which I used a burn card maker to install the official Lollipop ROM, can I just use it to go back to the original ROM?
Or will it not work anymore since my recovery is not the default one and on TWRP now?

Shouldn't be a problem, if you experience problems then do a flash via PC:

Ty for the reply..

I actually tried that when I first tried to install Official Lollipop ROM, but unfortunately the burning tool just doesn't detect my Minix. Tried 3 different cables, confirmed if I installed the driver.. but still no use.

Can I use the finless 1.0 ROM on post 1 and use the burn card maker to flash it in my minix? (really want to try finless)
Sorry I am a bit newbie to this.. I'm just afraid I'll make things worst by trying to flash this or the previous official lollipop rom i have in my other sd card.

Really appreciate your help. Ty

UPDATE: Tried flashing my sd card w Official Lollipop and it worked! TY so much!

I'll try flashing finless 1.1 again on a different sd card. Hope it works.

I was able to flash Finless LOLLIPOP 1.0

Tried to install finless 1.1 via "apply update via ext"

But returned errors
E:\ Failed to verify whole-file signature
E:\ Signature verification failed.
E:\cannot load volume /misc!

it my zip file correct?
"neox8plus_finless_1_1.zip"
I noticed it doesn't include H before plus.

Thanks again.

UPDATE: Upon reading articles at freaktab, I think the Finless 1.1 ROM is Kitkat.
So I will not be installing that anymore. :)
