Procedure & Files for upgrading Mad Catz Mojo - M.O.J.O. General

Due to the recent price drop for the MCM there has been some renewed interest on fb in the MCM. It took many hours to collect the files and figure out how to get it going right so to save others some time I put an instruction PDF together along with all the files you need.
It's located in a public google drive folder located at:

Thnx Phoenix, yes i bought one today (wednesday delivery) and was surfing around clipping and downloading stuff. about the MOJO. This looks easy enough to use. Thank you for your work already done !
Still in doubt if i want android TV installed or CM as i bought also a android TV remote with it (not even sure if these work but i costs only $4). Love the shields laucher/desktop.

Got one also start play with it now .....look cool and fast.

thanks a lot OP. very helpful.

Excellent work and thanks, @Phoenix4848! Don't forget that there are alternative methods of flashing, and also other ROMs out there. I recommend setting up Fastboot just as a safety net; it can save your bacon if something goes wrong with Flashify. This XDA section is a gold mine of info on the MOJO, but you don't need that link, do you?

Thank you for the feedback. Yes I want to install Remix OS on a different mojo; I won't attempt that until I have Fastboot up.
I created the folder/link for a kodi box support group on fb. The procedure is simple enough for the average user and it's important mojo owners get rooted and SuperSU installed - there is a piece of ransomware that is targeting Android 4 devices. CM 12.1 is stable and user friendly - and it's android 5.1 which will run the newer versions of Kodi.
Adding it here was an afterthought.

Good thought, even if it was after. You don't need fastboot to install RemixOS, or any other one, but if your MOJO is soft-bricked and you can't get into TWRP recovery you can fastboot boot the recovery and flash from that. You can also fastboot flash the recovery. And BTW you do not necessarily need MoDaCo's fastboot, if you're set up for other Droids like I was you can use your existing fastboot setup. I find it easiest to do from Linux.
Yes, I like the Lollipop ROMs myself, a huge advance over KitKat (IMHO they shouldn't have bothered to release KK). And Marshmallow is even better, much to my amazement. I wish I had the extra time to learn to port ROMs myself, there'd be a MM ROM out for the MOJO about now!

Fastboot set up?

Not a clue. But here's a couple things to try:
1) Call or e-mail Amazon tech support
2) Try a different ROM on the MOJO

Remix maybe?

Probably not a problem with the Mad Catz device probably a problem with the OS. Stock is Android 4.2, CM doesn't seem to work with every player. Remix works with more players but I don't know if it will work with Prime. I'll try later.

It really is isn't it? Once you get over the hurdle of flashing a decent ROM, you're set. Fantastic little gadget. I was very lucky to get it for £60 here in the UK. I don't think I've ever had emulation play so well on anything before.

thank you ...for reply and advice now I will try to flash the new ROM I have to read more instruction.... again thanks

OK I have chat with Amazon IT tech he said most game console can't play Amazon video that the end of it and I get $5 for the next purchase. I will install the new ROM next...wish me luck!
PS: I still have doubt some of us have Amazon prime member install the video app to see ..is he right? thanks

I'm a Prime member but it'll be a couple weeks before I get a real chance to fiddle with it, so if nothing more comes up to prevent it, maybe I'll try it on CM12.1 then. Too many irons in the fire now...

Last year, there was a workaround to play Prime videos via the Dolphin Browser with flash activated. However, ever since Amazon Prime Video dropped Flash support, it's no longer working.
Prime was the reason I bought my first MOJO, ended up selling it when the the workaround stopped working. As of now, I use the (second) MOJO for Kodi and the Youtube App only.
It's truly a shame we can't use it for a service we pay for, especially when they claim on their website that all android systems (>4.0) are supported.
I haven't tried any other custom ROMS since the stock meets my needs for now(minus Prime Video). But please do let us know if it works on the custom ROM you try.

I just got Amazon Video working on the Remix ROM. No tricks, it just works.
Additional note Xposed also works on that ROM. And Paragon should offer NTFS support. I like Remix - next step get a HDD working.

[Q] Newbie here with a question

Dear All,
I recently sold my wife's Ideapad K1 (Lenovo abandoned it and it was stuck in Honeycomb land forever) and am looking to buy a Nexus 10 for my wife. She mostly used her tablet for watching TV online, checking email and the normal stuff. I know that the Jellybean does not support Adobe Flash, which is what brings me to my question-
If I were to give one of you the name of one site, could you please see if it opens up on your Nexus 10 and whether you can watch the videos from the site on it? Since my wife watches videos from that site, it is important that I know that the site works on the tablet before I buy it.
Second question is - is there an easy way to get flash to work on Nexus 10?
Please let me know. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Chet
There are few answers to that.
1. Although flash doesn't work on jellybean there are few sites that still work. Also, majority of the sites have started using HTML5. So it should be fine.
2. If you're rooted, you can flash adobe flash player to get back flash. But I'm sure you're not gonna do that cuz if you buy the N10 you don't wanna mess with it the day you get it.
3. Get a video player from Play Store called MX player. You're videos should work.
4. What's the website? I'm on jellybean lemme look if it works.

Thank you so much for offering to do this!

Unless something has changed from 4.1.2 to 4.2 you don't need to root in order to get flash working. Can you not just find the app and sideload it. It should then work with compatible browsers like Boat and Firefox. Correct me if I'm wrong though.
You dont need to root to get flash working. Just side load the apk. Search google or search xda. Im sure there is a few flash apks roaming around. Also be sure to check Unknown device so it will actually allow you to download the apk tovyour device

Yes this is what i did to get flash to work, i searched XDA using google, i then installed the flash apk, then i downloaded Firefox beta, turned on plug ins and its as easy as that.

If you don't want to root you can try puffin browser. It loads the flash content on remote servers then send it back to your device. :highfive:

New guy here... I have had Mojo 1 month NOW what?

Well I think I have rooted my Mojo, so far so good. I have setup Nova Launcher as well. My phone and Mojo look almost alike
I of course have external Monitor 1920x1080 and I was expecting better imaging on the screen. I moved from a chromebook to the Mojo and thought the screen would be better - everything is so large. All my USB accessories (webcam, mic, headphones, usb hub, usb flash and speakers) fail to work. Replaced the mike and headphones to a 3.5 plug unit so I can hear sounds now.
I have tried to add multitasking to the Mojo, so I could do at least two things at once But I have not been successful yet
I am a Kixeye Battle Pirate Junkie - I have found that Puffin is the best I have for now to use with Battle Pirates (flash based). But have at least three problems with Puffin: (1.) Arrows keys will not work most of the time. (2.) Must Maximize screen to move around and Minimize to type text. Either Apple or Google screws us on the flash based games. (3.) Game does not fix on screen - on see a third of it without scrolling up and down.
So I come to you all to ask for suggestions, ideas, and comments. Example how to you have apps designed for the Mojo in mind. Some reason people hear "android" and all they think about is a tiny little screen that you touch to move stuff around with your finger...
I really need some Mojo friends to chat with :fingers-crossed:
Thanks Andy

I think soundabout killed my Mojo. (it was the last app I installed) has trying to get sound out to my HDMI port on TV/Monitor.
Which root process should I use??
Not sure which Launcher to use was using Nova Prime, is the anything else that works better??
Can I update to the new Android M (Right now it is on Android 4.2.2)??

Hello Unjustified Dev,
Do I understand that Marshmellow is out now??
What is RemixOS - will that help mojo's audio or sound?
I really need a Mojo Mentor to help me along since I can not get on Mojo's chat.
BTW should I be using this Tapatalk thing
I am afraid that my post are not getting seen or if anyone knows how frustrating to learn all this by trail and error and going back to square one.
I am also trying to figure out how to use this forum.
Is there a xda unread badge for mojo? Will check back later. ~ Two Wolf

M is not released yet , but officially announced. RemixOS is a version of android modified for desktop experience which includes a sort of desktop window feature it will not change the sound at all. What's wrong with the Mojo's sound? I haven't ran stock so I can't comment on it.

You can checkout remixos here https://youtu.be/NicS4VTm7Bk they are closed source so this will be a port from the nexus 10. If you factory reset you do not loose rooting. I'm not entirely sure what you mean by second screen.

I would flash the latest version. By googling supersu zip you will find a thread by chainfire with the download. If you install my TWRP you will be able to flash it from recovery. Honestly I can't say as I have not ran remixos yet which is why I'm trying to port it to see what's it all about. Currently I'm running on 5.1.1 CyanogenMod and it's way better than stock 4.2.2.

OK, Good Morning. Please keep in mind I am pretty new at this Mojo/XDA/supersu/rooting thing so pls bare with me. It sounds like this 5.1.1 is the cat's meow, so I will look into it If ya think Marshmallow will be a while before available on Mojo. The remixOS looks like it requires a touch screen in the videos maybe they have a work around for non touch screens.
How is Memphis these days I was stationed there back in 1975 and again in 1979 at Millington. I always loved getting out and about - the people and landscape was beautiful. "UD"... When I got the Second Screen app running this time it was flawless. I could not expect any better. Well I better go check out this CyanogenMod thing. Please have a nice day. ~ TW (Two Wolf)
The mojo unfortunately came out with android jellybean which is 2+ years old now and very limited compared to kitkat/lollypop.
The hardware is still great by todays standards.. it runs lollypop (CM12) with no problems.
Sadly madcatz never showed much love regarding the mojo.. they're probably now clearing old stock and putting it behind them as a mistake
So, there's never been much of a community here.. android 'microconsoles' were very niche and the mojo wasn't the cheapest (like ouya $99 junk)
@Unjustified Dev is the young man who gave us CM12 and androidTV for the mojo... a huge undertaking and he did it without even having the mojo.. very impressive
IS M.O.J.O. a Mistake, I hope not.

GWALDO,
Greeting from Missouri. I am enjoying my MOJO. I am very Interested in the CM12 Mod and the Android TV app as well. If @Unjustified Dev can or will help me apply them to my MOJO I would be very Glad to move to them. He has also mentioned REMIXOS which sound very exciting as well, and looking forward to appling it to my MOJO.
When I am not in Battle Pirates (Kixeye.com) I and constantly exploring the Android/MOJO world trying to learn all I can. I dearly miss the Chrome Browser with flash. It is required for Battle Pirates Currently I am using Puffin browser, there are so many problems. I do not know if it is the lack of a "true flash" browser, Abode, Android, MOJO or Kixeye problems. But I have not given up on Battle Pirates.
On that note this is another arena called "OCEANS AT WAR" it runs on UNITY and I have not been able to run that as of yet.
I have watched your videos on Youtube and enjoyed them, I feel sad that our MOJO community is so small and silent, I am always search for people to talk to about the MOJO and the Android experience. I have the chromebook and been down the path. I wanted to move to a "box" system, either Android or Chrome... I went with Android since my phone was an Android as well.
I still have not figured how to connect usb speaker or to port the sound to the HMDI speaker in the monitor. I am still researching...
So I look forward to your reply and from @Unjustified Dev as well, Take care ~Two_Wolf aka Andy :good:

You should be able to download the latest Chrome browser just fine if you're still running the stock rom. Also you shouldnt need to do anything to get an audio from the HDMI cord, it should just work. Are you sure you have the volume turned up on your monitors speakers?
ATM it is working - I found out you MUST not have any kind of audio jack plugged in to the MOJO. ie an extension that splits the one jack into a spk and mic jack.

Hi,
Yeah, mojo users are similar to ouya user now I guess.. disappointed that their device is static (not going to change, well not officially anyway).
So you won't hear from the masses.. maybe when they have a problem with something
re speakers, I think HDMI splitters could work to split the sound to speakers?
Not sure tho.
re browser flash, this is what's recommend in their help:
http://madcatz.kayako.com/Knowledge...nded-method-for-viewing-flash-content-on-mojo
I don't know if it will work tho.
Regarding CM, it's not that hard if you have done it before.. like everything
I would suggest if you have an old android device to try changing the firmware on it before trying to do it on the mojo.. it's mostly the same process.. get the device in recovery mode and flash a new rom, reboot and it's done.
The mojo also needs a male to male usb to flash, or you can try rooting the mojo then using an app to install the new rom, some say it works, I haven't tried it.. anyway I did explain that in one of the videos lol
Yeah... been busy lately haven't made any videos.. oh and my website got stolen by my host (bigscoot).
They played a scam on me.. saying my site went over the bandwidth limit for 6 months and that I owed them hundreds of dollars.. the funny thing was I looked at their own logs and it showed nothing different for the 12months.. I had next to zero traffic anyway

Porting Remix OS ??

Unfortunately it's not possible yet. Wait until android M is released which includes multitasking capabilities. If I find time I'll try to port RemixOS.

Just wondered if ya have had any time to porting that REMIX OS.... I am running CM 12.1 but I have no Netflix

Upgraded to 2.0, Android 5.1 problems

I find that the device has lost much tablet functionality. The screen does not auto rotate and stays in landscape, there is no owner information tab to display on lock screen, Amazon apps and instant video will not sync. The device will not cast a screen anymore to a roku3. In general the 5.02 Android version 1.5 was a much better tablet user experience at least for me. I almost wish for a way to downgrade back 'til this is sorted! I had hoped Jide would not grow so fast that they dropped their focus of great software on adequate hardware. They now seem to have lost their way. I had supported as a kickstarter for ultra and mini with the thinking that they can help the developing world with that proposition......now chasing Intel x86 at the failing of the kick starter supported user experience. Quite a few titles from the Google play store do not run any longer on Remix OS 2.0. At least the GPS, camera, keyboard, Bluetooth, still seem to work. I had hoped this hardware and Jide would end the constant "testing" concept as it seems like working on custom ROMs again! My Pipo M6 pro is still pretty darn useful on custom ROMs! I hope Jide regains their focus! Great UI, good enough hardware!

Can't install google calendar , amazon instant video, and their app store, won't sync. The screen rotation seems to be a result of the launcher file manager experimental feature.....it seems to disable rotation for some reason.

do you have remix 2.0 on your Remix Ultra Tablet? How is the Ultra Tablet Working on 2.0, are any apps problematic , features not working? I am using a Remix Ultra Tablet on 2.0 Remix pre release version. I see a few bugs since updating from 1.5
Am I in the wrong forum?
Sent from my REMIX SK1WG using Tapatalk
For me, on my laptop, I don't see bug. I have remis os 2.0 on USB, and I boot from this USB. I play swordigo and other game, my laptop is digital. It's very big advantage on remix os. I don't see any problem. it lacks the root and the battery indicator.

I think the Jide folks just stayed in vegas and never went home. I ordered a Ultra Tablet a week ago and haven't heard anything. I noticed they did increase the price $50 since I've ordered it.

I ordered Friday one week ago and received it yesterday. Ordered for 250 $. shipping to Germany with Fedex. Waiting for the toll fee now
Glad I found this Forum on XDA, because the JIDE forum is a hot mess and pretty much useless. The old forum was much better over there.
Anyway, I digress; I haven't "updated" to the 2.0 yet on my ultra-tablet because right now, I have ROOT on my device and I'm pretty sure there is no way to ROOT the new 2.0 OS yet. Am I correct in assuming so?

Maybe a general Jide ***** forum thread should be developed?
I started this thread, because like you I lurked for awhile over there and it is just kumbaya crapola. I haven't rooted the ultra tablet because it is just o.k. hardware platform. More interested in their more with less proposition if attainable. The mini makes a great developing world pc to get past a phone...
I think it smart to be working with XDA and X86 as the more crappy old PC's that can be !made useful the better. It's amazing the folks wanting to make these their entire command center for a home theater. Maybe they should write code and get a PI of whatever flavor they want!
Anyway, I was hoping to hear from other Remixers who've put 2.0 on thier Ultra, and what issues they have had. I do not see Jide responding to any issues anywhere....just kumbaya.
I think they were hoping to be bought up before they actually need to run a business! Perhaps just another piece of Android technology from the CH. Ina corp that is build it and move on.
I thought their concept of more with less was good for the developing world as opposed to less with more ala Apple and MS. Frankly I've been pretty happy with Nexus devices and cheap hardware on custom roms.(also a more with less proposition) My Pipo M6 pro on custom roms with a Logitech keyboard does everything this can all be it slower.
We'll see if Jide delivers, or fades....I am sure they are in over the heads, the fact that people want to root or custom to! Tells you their software solution may not be needed. Their hardware does not warrant development more than Android sticks do.
They claim to be making themselves a software outfit, but the Nexus 9, Cube and other devices have not seen any love lately.
Time will tell. Back to 2.0 update issues for the remix ultra...

I'm running the new 2.0 update and have root. You just need to boot into the CWM recovery (or flash it) that was posted in the old Jide forums, then flash the latest SuperSU zip from Chainfire. I haven't tested swapping out the stock launcher yet, as I'm really digging the new features, like desktop mode. AdAway worked perfectly, so I can confirm that root is working for at least some aspects.

Did Google calendar install and is usable? Mine can't write to drive, installed but says calendar storage is not turned on in system? Also their stupid feedback link on the shut down screen does not work since no feed back app in drawer. Did your upgrade install one that works? For whatever reason Amazon app store won't sync apps....do you use any Amazon stuff? Is it good? Trying to decide if I should blow it away and re upgrade if mine did not get all it should...seems to be at least stable and most of the hardware does seem to function correctly outside of my display seems to ghost quite terrible after the upgrade! Also Google photos seems unable to see device folders and g+ loads an app that still puts a photos app into your device....real odd!

Google Calendar fails to load on mine for the same reason. My install didn't include a feedback agent (and I think that's common across everyone's builds). I haven't tried the Amazon apps yet, so I can't comment on their usability. I will say that my display was ghosting hardcore even before the upgrade, so the 2.0 upgrade didn't affect that one way or the other. I just tried the Google Photos app and it sees my wallpaper folders in the /SDCARD partition OK, so I'm not sure what's happening on your device for it not to see them.

I can't believe the old CWM v6.0.5.1 still works on the new update and more importantly, no one has figured out how to get TWRP or a "newer" version of CWM working? I guess, if it ain't broke, don't fix it?
Thanks for the information. Will upgrading to "2.0" wipe the userdata? I don't care about re-installing apps, etc... just worried about all my media content on the device currently.
I used Kingroot as on device root. Is working so far, but can't use SuperSU. Need to stick with kingroot...

So I tried this with my ultratablet, just wanted to boot to recovery first to make sure it works. Doing a "fastboot boot recovery.img" I get the remix logo but it doesn't ever boot into cwm it just locks up. Anything special I need to do before?

Kindle Fire Jem Roms

I still got
cm-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-jem
and
cm-12.1-20161016-NIGHTLY-jem
I'm done with this device, but seems that a lot of people having trouble finding a good Android rom for it. I've tested bunch of other roms such as Candy 5 and Lineage 14 but none of them runs smoothly as CM11.
CM12 is a bit laggy compared to CM11 but both are pretty usable. If you don't mind older 4.4 then use CM11. If you don't mind a bit lag use CM12.
My dad, however (the device is my dad's) manage to get it into bootloop multiple times with CM11, I don't know how; probably because bunch of "booster" craps he installed there, while on my test with daily regular use for about two weeks or so, seems to be VERY stable.
The device itself however, is waaay too old and outdated for more hardware intesive like 3D games and such. I cannot even get the dynamic background on Retroarch, so I don't bother trying it at all. For other casual stuffs, just some very rare occasional hangs while watching youtube, but that's all as far as I can remember. Chrome works well too. 1080p movies can play well with MXPlayer pro.
But in the end rather than get naggings by my dad about the bootloops, I decided to restore it to stock and let him get the apps from amazon appstore. Just so you know that not everybody get the same smooth experience as I do. As my experience goes, CM11 is the best rom for this device. But not to my dad.
Both roms (CM11 and 12) are intended for 8.9" kindle fire JEM (NOT tate)
With that in mind, I have no more use for the roms. So rather than being left to dust and forgotten, any idea where I can upload these roms so it stays online forever? They're about 200 megs each, so about 500 megs.
If there's no good free space/file transfer service, I'm uploading these to Degoo, since I don't use it at all despite its generous space, and probably will forgot about it in the future and it'll stay there forever.

Okay then I'm deleting these roms. It's just that most people on the CM for Jem thread are having difficulties finding the download links.
If it is available here, there's no use of me keeping them. I've converted my dad's Kindle Jem back to stock anyway.

Request - Play Store - How to? - Gifting some tablets :) -- They are using LineageOS

Good afternoon,
I have some rooted HD 8's and HD 10's *Both using Lineage OS.
Is there a pretty decent guide on exactly what to download to get play store working?
I have some tablets I'd like to give to my parents after working this out.
Thank you in advance.
Its a late Mothers day gift and recent Fathers day gift.
@likwidchz I have strong doubts that playstore (Gapps) is working on anything else then on android.
I've flashed Ubuntu on a Fairphone and Playstore didn't work there.
So imho you gotta flash LineageOS to use it.

Which LOS?
Tried any Gapps yet?
I think that might be the issue. I don't know what to install.
on the HD8's I have
lineage-15.1-20220102-UNOFFICIAL-giza.zip
On the HD10's I have
lineage-16.0-20220506-UNOFFICIAL-suez.zip
If there is a later OS for either of those tablets please let me know and ill upgrade that.
What do I flash?? is that what OpenGapps is?

As I don't have your device you gotta check first if it's 32 or 64bit.
Then choose the appropriate file from here.
I usually take pico.
Thank you, after going back and forth a tad with it, I realized just that. I'll use pico as I think thats the only thing they will need.
Thank you again!

Allow me to lead your attention to the app Netguard-no-root by @M66B.
As I understood you want to give the tabs to your parents.
With that app you're able to block internet access for each app (even system apps) separately and these apps don't even notice that.
I've bought protocolling (useful for beginners when setting up) but it works free as well.
All games I use are blocked and half of the other apps as well.
I kind of realize now either one of two things.
The lineage OS latest june release uses lots of battery when powered off and just sitting.
or these tablets battery life I bought on ebay is just old.
How long should these things be able to sit on a desk and be off?

Imo there is no general answer to that.
I experienced that even the same LOS number behaves not the same on different devices. I think that the kernel chosen by the dev is the culprit.
As an example: one tablet on LOS18.1 can be off for days consuming nothing while one phone on same LOS uses around 10%/d even when off as well.
okay well crap, I guess thinking out loud, I wonder if it makes sense to put the stock amazon distro on it if there is one available to flash with twrp. That might be a bit less weird for them.
I just know if the battery dies, phone calls will be happening lol.
