Diyomate A6 TV BOX set-top box should be available in May and cost 45 USD (MOQ: 1000). So I suppose the retail price should be around or below 90 USD.

The actual box for retail sales is based on TCC8920 and don’t support google services (don’t let to add google account), don run HD videos (some player run it but without audio), not rooted. And I don’t think any developer is working on this chip for ROMs etc.
@ Y S
Thanks for the update.
You’re right, it’s quite difficult to get the kernel and other GPL software source from Telechips or their customers, so it’s unlikely work will be done on this box. I’ve started asking code for TCC8925 (which should be similar to TCC8920) since I’ve purchased a device, but I don’t hold my breath.
I managed to get updated ROM (update.zip) for it from manufacturer, but it still have all above problems. If you think it helps you contact me.
Hi,
how to update the new update.zip?
regards
Gerrit
Already found it in the menu. When will it be possible to root the box, and when will there be a CWM?
@ gerrit
I don’t know if there is work done on this box.
As for rooting the device, you could try the instructions for CX-01 (http://www.pandawillforum.com/showthread.php?11641-New-Arrival-CX-01-Mini-Android-TV-Box-Android-4-0-Cortex-A5-HDMI-USB-4GB&p=68126&viewfull=1#post68126) which is based on a similar processor.
Good day to All.
I have the same device. Do you know what ADB password for setting USB debuging mode?
Thanks an advance.

Hi
To root, i need to enable USB debugging – but this option seems to be password protected?
Any idea on the password, or any other otion to enable USB debugging?
@Jean-Luc Aufranc (CNXSoft)
Hi, any developments yet? ADB password would be fine!
@gerrit
I don’t have this device, so I’m not sure. I assume some of the instructions for CX-01 should work on that one.
@Jean-Luc Aufranc (CNXSoft)
and how connect this box to pc?
i am trying to root this device, but i cannot enable ADB debugging, it asks for a password. what is the password? why put a password on it?
@peter brown
You’ve got the same problem as everybody on this thread and XDA forums. Unfortunately, it seems nobody has been able to get the password yet.
Hello,
got this tv box but I’m having problems at boot, it does not load and has no button for safe mode. Can you help me?
nothing?? @brenno
USB debugging can *only* be used by connecting USB to the USB port INSIDE the A6. The screws to open the case are under the 4 little plastic knobs on the bottom. The password (if needed) is 123456, 1234567, or 12345678. Just try. Password may be not needed! Some tweaks and root is possible with files from tatubias. I will upload them yo my dropbox, together with a few needed drivers and tools. Unfortunatly I do not have a WIFI module inside my box and Therefore also no working Market. I have read you hace to connect (first time) to… Read more »
Tweaks, tools and drivers are here: http://bit.ly/Zhn6hw
BTW Do not use flash tool FWDN, only use the needed file to install the drivers, which are also in the zip
@gerrit
passwords not suitable 🙁
ок, its 1234 -but windows see unknow device 🙁
@Pavel first load the drivers!
