Settings>More Settings> Superuser >Close Root Access

Indeed, 4 months ago before meeting the seller, I am of the understanding of  the need to close root access via some highly technical procedure to run Unify and AstroGo.  When I received the box I found this setting. But that is only one half of the solution, the other half would require help from the seller.

This method not working with Astro Go. Been trying various methods but failed.

any idea what diff A vs H?

i wud think if enough work done on it... root/unroot, hide, etc... it can work as reported by many... seller will charge more, i suppose.

still, there are boxes with original firmware ready to install astrogo/olaytv direct from playstore, will work just like that, no hassle.
astrogo and playtv needs same requirements

for any device, if one works, the other will; if one doesn't work the other will not.

I have used the modded apk. It can login and but most channel are not watchable.

I tried and installed Magisk to hide root and installed the official apk. The outcome is the same.

i can understand... seen that with other boxes too.

moded apks also dun work if the box firmware has something missing.
*
Precisely. I too have tried various firmware from original, Alice to ATV. All turned out to be the same. So when some user reported it's working I'm baffled. Model H is the explanation I guess.

u mean u tried diff firmwares on tx3 mini and failed to do astrogo?

original will not work...  alice is tanix own firmware/UI with ATV skin but is not ATV.

if full ATV, it should work - seen in smart tv androidTV's (the sharp's and sony's), mibox s, shield.
*
I mean I have tried atvXperience firmware from https://www.atvxperience.com/

I have successfully solved the problem by flashing back to the old firmware. Astro Go finally playing good.

So it is not a matter of Hardware Model A or H. It is the correct firmware that is crucial?
Glad you fixed your problem.
*
Yes. The problem is the old interface is such a turnoff. You need to revert back to the original firmware back from 2 years ago.

I did a few flashing on other newer firmware and none of it is working. So to use Astro Go must flash back to the old firmware.

No idea about unifiplay as I'm not using.

i bought from him, good service.
he confirmed current CANNOT do astrogo.

ok, that is 1 yr older than the current one i have 20181229.
yes, it is annoying why a newer firmware is unable to do same.
for me, not a problem as i have astrogo running on other devices, dun need it for this one.
*
Alice? Cool interface too. If you are not into Astro Go then should try atvxperience firmware.

Makes this cheap box look like a crazy cool android box.

no, it is not alice.

alice is found in higher models only, i think.

ATV... ya, somewhat cool but same working when it comes to the apps.

Can flash to Alice. I have tried. Initially said it was for L model but many have tried and succeed.

But afaik 20181210 and beyond are Alice interface. My guess is you are on Alice.

I'm good with this box. Just that the interface is so old school. Can't do Alice nor ATV cos need to use Astro Go.

And the IR remote sucks. Need to be very close.

I have seen a few Tx6 Sellers (on facebook) peddling their warez as AstroGo compatible.

Been busy lately, so couldn't update on my 1GB Tx3 testing, but I found this by gregory_choo (I think the same Yong Choo of TV Box Sg FB)

user posted image

and I manage to disable them both in my Tx3, have to first deactivate Device Administrator for Find My Device.

Haven't fully tested the impact of the 2 being disabled. At the moment, AstroGo and dimsum are affected, but Unify and iflix are okay without them.

Oh, and the SELLER [click here] has now upgraded to using FILELINKED APP for those who don't fancy using USB pendrive to install apps.

Google filelinked
https://www.filelinked.com/

Code : 63747386
Pin: six seven six seven

Installing apps is so much easier now, no need for PC, no need USB drive. Newbies would also know how to install apps now. In the filelinked also touched on 1GB Tx3 RAM.

Tanix TX3 mini Android 7.1.2
1. Flash it with Tanix TX3 Max firmware 20180321.
    I found it more stable than original firmware.
2. Install Root Explorer
3. Delete these files.
    a) etc/root_access
    b) system/xbin/root_access.sh
    c) system/xbin/su
    d) system/xbin/sud
    e) system/bin/su

Fully unroot. This method works with normal, Alice UX and atvXperience firmware. No need close root.

playtv@unifi works, except AOTG must used moded 8.2.6 version.

Normal firmware causing iflix live channels crash when full screen, HBO GO Malaysia lag and subtitles not showing and DIRECTV lag. I had tried atvXperience firmware but still found Tanix TX3 Max firmware is the best.
*
Wow, I flashed my TX3 mini to this firmware. It is now identified as TX3 max. Alice UI. Very smooth. Smoother than latest Alice UI for TX3 mini.

Most of my apps are also working good. Thanks!

Do our apps remain if we flash it or need to reinstall?

Reinstall needed. The close root works perfectly with Astro Go 8.2.6 too. No mod needed.

i will experience hang oso when open too many apps and didn't quit it, only press the home button and open another apps....especially astro go apps.....but after i learn the pattern of the box i only open 1 apps at 1 time.

also, the standby mode which didn't turn off completely the tx3 mini, i experience lagging also, i have change it to shutdown....only open the tx3 mini when i need to watch astro go.

I have the exact problem but after flashing to tx3 max firmware it was a complete different story. Smooth and good.
