My understanding is we need to subscribe astro to have astro account else we only have those limited channels. Is it correct?
If yes why most of the posts here are talking about astrogo. Since if I had subscribed astro, I will watch astro dy, why i still need 2 have a tvbox?

FAMA, Brother, Sister, Unker, Aunty, In-laws, Friend, Neighbour, Co-Pay, Borrow, Lend, Curi.... These are the typical account owners that non-subscribers or cord-cutters gain accounts from.. But of course there’s also the scenario where Owner A has more than one house and since Astro demands a new sub for each location EVEN under the same name.. Why pay for 2 separate subs when you can pay for only one and share it to your other houses.

If you are reading this post and they work for you, then good for you. Do not need to thank me or mention that it works for you.
I don't usually post people's download links but I will make an exception this time because the other thread wasn't so forthcoming. DO NOT quote this post as I intend to keep all these under the radar as best as possible.

Latest app method 1
- install aptoide
- install an very old official version from apkpure (one that pop-up requiring immediate update during startup)
- update to latest version using aptoide.

Latest app method 2 (rooted & mod app)
1)Install this Google chrome (only applicable for Tx3 mini and Tx6. Other boxes, I don't know)
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/ch...d-apk-download/

2) Install version (ModBase) http://tiny.cc/aotgmod01
2.1) Can opt to update to latest chrome or use the above version.
2.2) Login Astro Go

Recommendation - Install Modbase first and test if it works perfectly with your box. If all okay then no need for ModFinal installation.

3) Install version (ModFinal) if Modbase has issues. http://tiny.cc/aotgmod02

Tested
Modbase on tx6, tx3 mini, tx3 s905x3, t95, tx6s,
Modfinal on Mi box s, Dynalink, Tivo, AFTV stick 4K dan Cube 2nd gen, Nvidia Shield

Note: Modbase is mod of latest version. Modfinal is modded of an older version.

The above does not require any webview changes, just an updated Chrome.

The above should supersede all other older mod versions.
If they work, then good for you. If not, then don't quote this post and ask for assistance. None will be given. Every thing I received is in here, there is nothing else to add. DO NOT quote this post as I intend to keep all these under the radar as best as possible.

Credit to the original modder @*****yap and others for sharing.

If the above doesn't work, don't lose hope. Lately I have seen a newer mod version released a few days ago.
All these mods are released by private individuals who just likes the challenge of searching in lines and lines of codes sweat.gif sweat.gif sweat.gif tongue.gif

guys, u had fun... so did i! sweat.gif

tx3mini owners, be very careful with trying to change the firmware!
i had the honor of bricking my unit TWICE  laugh.gif but it's all good now.

in the process of upgrading, i encountered severe problems... read and read until i found a solution.
the trouble is this: there are several variations "TX3 Mini"... tx3 mini, tx3 mini-A, tx3 mini-L, etc...
some firmwares CANNOT be applied on the wrong model.
my unit is labeled tx3 mini-A at the back.

initially, i used the ZIP method to upgrade to TX3 Max Version 20180321 zip - the box bricked.
used burning tool to flash with 20180321 img - burning stuck at 7%, no good.
the life saver was THIS, a big THANK YOU!:
burned it with TX3Mini-20181210.img first to breathe life in it again.
then use zip method, upgrade to tx3maxp281-ota-20181101.zip
https://www.getdroidtips.com/stock-firmware...tx3-max-tv-box/

how diff is tx3max 20180321 firmware from 20181101, i have no idea.
but what i now have is excellent:

.. Alice UI.
.. root closing option in settings remains.
.. auto framerate switching now works better, can see 24, 25, 30 hz message popping up on the TV.
.. lossless audio is obtained with kodi player - dtshdma, ddtruehd.
.. astrogo, unifi playtv work fine once u close root.
.. (i can safely say tx3max should be an excellent value box.)

for those wanting to change firmware, please be careful, know what u r doing... if not, u lose the box! biggrin.gif

frankly, i tried quite a few things... don't even remember where i got some of those zip's and img's...!! laugh.gif

good luck!

I've got a TX3 Mini-A with the TX3Mini-20181210.img working on it. Can't get any other firmware to load on it without bricking the box. The firmware is working but keeps freezing. I would like to try this zip file.Did you update this firmware using the TX3 update option and the zip file on a USB drive? I've been working on the box for quite some time now, using the usb burning tool and the update option on the TX3. I hope this works for me. Thanks for your help.

It installed with no problems. I've been working on this box for almost a month now and this is the first file that has worked for me without freezing so far. The install did not even change any of my settings or apks that I had downloaded. It seems a little slow to load different apks but it is working without freezing. I will continue to test it out and let you know how it works out for me. Thanks you so much for this file.

Well after much testing, the box is still freezing. Have no idea why. It's probably just a piece of junk.

I have the same box as yours. Flashed to TX3 Max firmware. Works like a charm.

I tried others TX3 Mini firmware like you did and yes still freezes here and there. Very annoying.

For everyone who is looking for media box which can run Ass-To-Go with no problem, can buy from the below seller. Suggest to chat/pm him beforehand for obvious reasons.

Good luck and Happy CNY 2021 💪💪💪

64GB is not really necessary right? 32GB ROM should be OK?
