This firmware is not for the x7 it is for other device that has the same hardware. it has being tested and it does work on the x7 the only known issue is that the remote control does not work. i have added here a possible solution to fix the remote controler issue.

4 - go to directory /system/etc/ there you will find a file called remote.conf make a back up of the file.

key_end
6 - Then SAVE and exit.

7 reboot the device.

if you have luck you will be able to make the remote work.

------------------

The other way you can do this is:

(you have to have the x7 rooted)
1 -  download the file: http://www.mirrorcreator.com/files/0KNK1RJW/remote.conf_links
2 -  back up the original file on  /system/etc/remote.conf
3 - copy the downloaded file tinto /system/etc
4 - chage the attributes from the new file as it was in the original file.
5 - reboot the media player.

i have repacket the firmware that was posted earlyer with the remote contorler fix.

if someone has enough guts to test it. send me a pm i can send the link.

1 -  i dont have any longer the device. due it got burn in a storm.
2 -  keep in mind that this repack may not work and may brick your device ...

so you will need to have more guts that Chuck norri´s

here it is a better explained procedure that you can try with the other firmware. source: blrdude39

Just wanted to say that the wistarmedia, update.zip worked out of the box with my Measy X7 (only exception was the broken remote control).

My original Measy X7
HW AMLOGIC MESON-M1 8726M DVBC
RAM 192 MB
INT Storage 2GB
AMLogic M1 Reference Board
Android API Level 8
Firmware 2.2.1

Process that worked for me is the following sequence.
1. This came with the stock firmware that I had updated earlier to v1110 by just copying on to SDCARD and using the FW update icon.
2. Now apply the Z4Root apk and Ghost Commander apk.
This is so that later on you can update the remote controller file
3. Now update with the Wistar update.zip using the Firmware update icon and wait for the box to reboot into the Wistar android 2.3.3 screen
4. From the v1110.zip extract on you laptop from /system/etc the file remote.conf to a SDCard.
5. Connect a regular keyboard (In my case I used the wireless FlyMouse keyboard). reboot box so that it detects and boots into the new UI.
6. Navigate to apps and using ghost commander change options
a. Allow root access and remount as rw
b. Set path to busybox as /system/bin/busybox
7. Now navigate to /system/etc and rename remote.conf on orig_remote.conf
8. Copy from Sdcard remote.conf to /system/etc.
9. Long click on /system/etc/remote.conf and from the busybox dialog for chmod change permission to rw-r-r and owner/group to root/root.

Reboot now and the regular Measy Remote controller should work properly.

we were testing an playing around with some firmwares. this are the quick findings.

1 - Wistar firmware did work as expected. the only issue is the remote control that does not work but you can fix it as we explained before in this forum.

2 -  MBox was able to make it work you need to do some tricks before installing if you install withought any trick you may brick the device. i may be posting the how to later when i get confirmation about if all the hard is working as expectec (wifi, ethernet SADA, etc)

3 - we will be playing around with the Geniatech firmware if  possible to install andoird 4.0 on the x7. by the moment we did not start any test. 

keep in mind this will be slow due i do not have any longer the device because it is burned (the solution form MEASY was buy me one). so i will be working a as consultant with a guy from india.


i still insist,why a media player is expensier Thank a tablet? i will be asking this in the home o nmt forum:P
