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.webp then when It was about 95% on the progress bar it restarted
and showed this screen.2.webp

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.webp..
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. :)

Does anyone still have the image for Finless 1.1? Also, is there any way to get Widevine working on the X8H Plus?
