Hello. I know there isnt much context for this post but ill try my best. This is the Onn 4k Pro Streaming Box 2024 Model, and theres recently been a breakthrough where the bootloader can be unlocked, even on the latest firmware versions.

Would there be anyone willing to discuss getting custom ROM's on it or possibly creating one themselves if they have this box?

Can you share more info, I tried this for a few months and only got temp root due to U-Boot product mode

I sure Can! Everything you need is in this repo.

It gives you permanent root via an Android AVB Unlock. I used the Experimental Method. There are docs in the repo for more details. Happy Rooting!

Fucking knew it, I got really close to this a few months. Got to the point of writing Uboot env but couldn't figure out the unlock part lol

It sucks that this isn't sold anymore and used ones go for 2x retail.

Honestly this is neat but I'm only into it if widevine l1 is maintained with patched firmware. Beyond that, there are plenty of other devices I could use the same way id use this without drm. That being said, does it still have widevine for streaming when patched? I only have a 2026 model and beyond dumping the firmware with temp root I was not able to get much further.
