Ultimate guide for K1 DVB-S2 S805 1G/8G + SlimROM

( I am not responsible for anything that goes wrong with your device if you flash this. I have taken as many steps possible to ensure top quality and am running this myself, but you have been warned!!)

This thread is for device K1 DVB-S2 S805 Quad Core 1G/8G

I created this guide to cover most important points regarding Root, Recovery and Installing custom roms. I also included my custom rom (SlimROM_k1_s805).

Rooting:

1. Download root file (M8_root_update.zip)
2. Copy file (M8_root_update.zip) to root directory of sd card or usb flash drive
3. Install the file though one of two methods:

A) Though Device update service:

• Open Settings----Other----System Update----Update Locale----Select File
• Browse to your file (M8_root_update.zip) and select it
• Click on update button
• Wait until finished and device reboot

B) Through Device Recovery:

• Copy file (M8_root_update.zip) to root directory of sd card or usb flash drive
• Unplug the tv box from electricity
• Use a pin to press on reset button on the back of the device
• Continue pressing on reset button and connect the electiricity cable (Do not release your finger yet)
• Wait for about 10 seconds and release your finger
• The device should boot into recovery now
• Choose (install update from Ext)
• Browse to root file on sd card ( M8_root_update.zip) and choose it
• After finished installing click on (Reboot device now)

Installing TWRP Recovery:

Actually I did not find the exact twrp file for our device. So, I used another file for another model (S82b) . Use it under your responsibility. I confirmed it working with me in sections (Wipe, Mount and Install).
To install this recovery you need to follow these steps:

1. Make sure the device is rooted
2. Install Terminal emulator from google play
3. Download the recovery file (twrp-s82b.zip) and extract it to the root of your sd card (Recovery.img)
4. Open terminal emulator and type the following commands:
   su
   dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/recovery
5. exit terminal emulator
6. you may now try the booting into recovery as mentioned before to make sure it works.

Installing Custom ROMs:

For developers, the most important step is to remove device identification from the rom script (updater-script).
Because the TWRP revovery is not for (K1). we must change the following line in updater-script:

getprop("ro.product.device") == "k1" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "k1" || abort("This package is for "k1" devices; this is a "" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "".");

replace (k1) with (s82b). it will be like this

getprop("ro.product.device") == "s82b" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "s82b" || abort("This package is for "s82b" devices; this is a "" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "".");

After that the rom can be installed easily from twrp recovery as mentioned before.


My Custom ROM (SlimROM_k1_s805)

Finally, I introduce my custom rom (SlimROM_k1_s805) which is built from stock rom for K1 DVB-S2 released 26 Jan 2016. I integrated root in my rom and removed too many apps that I do not use. Also, some build.prop tweaks.
If you need any file not included in my rom, go ahead and download the full rom and extract it to get what you want.
