Hello
I buy this box from gearbest and comes faulty, is DEAD!
When I Plug power, only blue led lights on, nothing more.
I try to put firmware on sdcard, press reset button (inside AV Plug), connect power cable. But doenst work.
I also try use USB BURNING TOOL, But software never detects anything.
Some people talk to connect 2 pins in V NAND Flash, for s805. But in my Board I dont knbow if is possible or not, and how I can do it.
Hey, have same problem, but after unsuccessful flash. After disassembly, i found rs232 pins, but i'm no guru to know how. Any help would be appreciated. T95m 2/8gb

Hello guys
I'm really desperate creating this topic, but about a problem i have with the flashtoom for my x96 Mini S905w
So far, i've tried
Using different versions of the USB burning tool program (2.06, 2.09,2.16)
Using differente firmwares (atvx 2FF, 2C, 2F, official x96 mini firmware 12052018, amlogic upgrade firmware)
Using Windows 10 and windows 7
Ticking and unticking erase flash (with normal erase, force, erase all) in every combination
Plugging USB while pressing the reset button with and without power plug
All of them give the same error : 0x10303004 (as attached in the image) at 4% percent uboot
Whats worse, the box seems to be softbrick (black screen on tv, nothing showing, even tried flashing with usb card maker with no luck, no recovery showing at all) at some point, still blue light, still recognized by computer but no sign of image or recovery on tv, even with sd card or usb recovery to flash (yes, i pressed the reset button too)
Am i missing something or something that i havent try yet? is it brick for good? I even open the box and attach the image, i think im using the correct firmwares. Please let me know if theres any solution to this. Im attaching the error log too.
Try T95S1 Image
Still having problems?
I think you will have to use the short pin method.
I can send you the photo of the board and which pins you have to short.
I'm not home right now.

can someone help me...how to enter recovery in X96 mini i want to flash it but i can not... there is a pin in AV hole which i keep pressing but no recovery mode, also PC does not see device etc...heeeeeeeeelp
You are flashing ROMs for s905w, instead of s905x.
Check below links for compatible ROM

If your LED is red and not turning blue, try to power on using USB male A cable and power adaptor.

I tried to flash the ATV Xperience rom using the steps shown in the Youtube tutorial, but I could never get the USB Burning Tool to even recognize my box. It's not the tool per se, but that my computer never sees a USB connection when connecting the A95X MAX OTG port to my PC. So here's a list of stuff I've tried:
1) Connect the OTG port of the A95X MAX (the USB 2.0 port next to the HDMI) and connected that into the Amlogic's Burning Tool, device does not show up in the list, no power plug.
2) Connect the OTG port of the A95X MAX, with power plug. Device still does not show up.
3) Connected HDMI from TV to the A95X MAX, held down reset button inside the A/V 3.5mm port, plugged in the DC plug, kept holding it down, never saw recovery.
4) Box used to boot after a long wait, but it doesn't even boot anymore.
mayb this video can help..

missing the driver for your android box.
reinstall usb burning tool, it should ask to install a "worldcup" driver as well.
some Android boxes dont like USB 3 (Cable or ports)
Thanks for the suggestions, none of them worked, I pulled the damn thing apart and reflowed the usb connectors and its ESD diodes.
Chinese designed anything is just absolute garbage, learned my lesson with Teclast and Amax, won't be repeating this again, gonna give my money to Samsung from here on out, their software isn't great, but they can make some damn fine hardware...
Watch this installation guide video, if you want to install ATV Xperience without PC/LAPTOP.
I've been booting LibreELEC/CoreELEC from SD card on my AZW (Beelink) W95 (S905W) box for years now. Yesterday I tried booting into the stock Android system (7.1 I think- I haven't done it for a while) but it wouldn't boot. Not being one to leave well enough alone I decided to try a reset using a toothpick in the reset hole by the power plug. It flashed the start screen for a split second and then stopped. After that it wouldn't boot off the CoreELEC SD card either.
I've tried a clean CoreELEC install, stock firmware, Amlogic Burn Card Maker, and TWRP on the SD card - none of them get me past a black screen.
I don't think the reset button is doing anything (I depress it while plugging in the power jack). In fact, I don't know if it ever worked. My box had previously always booted off a SD card if it was inserted in the slot without having to do anything special.
My box isn't completely dead but comatose. The signs of life are:
1) The blue LED comes on when I plug in the power cord.
2) After about 20 minutes or so the blue LED will go off. If I press the power button on the remote it comes back on.
3) My router sees it on my network as active. But I get connection refused when I try access it using Windows File Explorer or try to SSH into it using Putty.
4) When I insert a SD card into the slot it writes Andriod and LOST.DIR folders to it.
I haven't tried the Amlogic USB Burning Tool yet because I don't have an USB 2.0 Type A male to male cable - but I've ordered one. My concern is I won't be able to put it in reset mode since I'm not sure the reset button does anything (but I can feel it click).
Is there anything else I should try while I'm waiting for my cable to arrive?
Any recommendations on how I should proceed once my cable arrives?
Thanks

Hi, your device seems to be in a strange state currently, only thing i can reccomend is trying a few firmwares to see what works for you, you should be able to flash most s905w based roms, if your device cant be detected by USB burn tool you might need to use ask Rom Mode" to force your box to be detected by burn tool, this makes it almost impossible to brick a box
Thanks for the suggestions, I'm a complete newbie at this.
Is the Ask ROM Mode an option in USB Burning Tool?
I have an OEM W95 firmware update file (in both .img and and an OTA in .zip format) but they may be older than what is currently on the box. I also found a TWRP file for the S905W. But I don't know how to use any of these.
I downloaded the AMLogic Tools 6.0.0 and tried the AMLogic Flash Tool since it seems to work through the Ethernet port. I assumed this because you access the box via an IP address but I really don't know. I watched the video but couldn't find any detailed instructions on how to use it.
When I pressed the Connect button it said it connected and I had the green Connected display (I was connecting through my LAN - I don't know if I should connect directly with an ethernet cable). I loaded my .img file and said Flash. It says it is flashing and a second or so later it says SUCCESS! However the box still doesn't boot. I tried both Boot and Recovery (I don't know which option I should choose). I think that the SUCCESS! message is incorrect since I get the message even if I press the Flash button without the box connected. However, I can't connect to the box without the ethernet cable connected so the connected message seems correct.
Am I using the AMLogic Flash Tool correctly?
I was thinking about trying the S905W atvExperience ROM but thought I'd wait until I got my USB cable before before doing something more drastic.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks
OK, so my male to male USB cable arrived and I managed to get my box un-bricked using AMLogic USB Burning tool with a factory .img file. It took several tries. I kept getting errors when it tried to erase the bootloader or would get to 7%, progress would stop for about a minute, and then Burning Tool would close.
I finally got it to proceed all the way by holding in the reset button, plugging in the USB cable (no power cable), and keeping the reset button pushed the whole time (I don't know if this was just a coincidence). Also, I hadn't closed Burning Tool after the previous error erasing the bootloader. I'm posting all this in case someone else has a similar problem.
After that, it still wouldn't boot of the CoreELEC SD card with the reset button pushed down. It would go straight into the Android OS. I got it to boot into CoreELEC by installing the Reboot to LibreELEC app. Now it always restarts in CoreELEC the way it used to when the SD card is left in. I think this is how I got LibreELEC working years ago.
So, now I'm contemplating installing atvXperience but I have a couple of questions:
What would be the best way to install atvXperience without being able to the reset button to put the box into recovery mode?
What would be the best way to prepare for not being able to use the reset button to put the box into recovery mode if something were to go wrong during flashing?
Thanks for any help.

Another follow up post for anyone with the same problem. I did some searching and found out I'm not the only one with a box that the reset button doesn't work. A work around for them was to connect the male to male USB cable, load the image into Burning Tool, press Start, and then plug in the power supply. The image file would then start flashing.
However, my box would start booting as soon as I connected the USB cable (didn't need the power supply). So I loaded the image into Burning Tool, pressed Start, and then connected the USB cable. This appears to be the work around for my box (I probably did this when I got my box to recover the first time - holding the reset button was probably irrelevant).
This procedure works for the stock firmware but when I try to flash the atvXperience image file the box hangs at 7%. So I still need some help there.
Also, is there a ATV ROM better suited for my S905W box (2/16 GB)?
W95 is really ****ing box whenever you feel you get off from the current problem will be into next one.
I have installed atvx Rom but afterthat when I tried adian rom my device bricked.
Without Ubt flashing it's connect but as I start flash it's sound unknown device and give flash error
Hello guys, recently my box (it's labelled as OTT A95X Pro, has an S905W, 2gigs of RAM and 16gb flash memory) died probably because I plugged it out of power while it was updating (didn't do it on purpose) and it seems that I have a corrupt bootloader. I can only see a red light now with the blue light never coming to life. I have tried a lot of ways to recover from this but I always get to a dead end. These are the following things I've tried:
- Used USB Burner Tool from AMLogic, my computer recognized the box straight away but I always can't get pass 2% when burning an image. Have tried over 15 different images for S905w and over 5 different versions of the tool with no success. Also tried changing the cable and even connected the box straight to the PC's motherboard USB header. Have also tried to burn in Windows 10, 7 and XP, unfortunately with the same results.
- Used AMLogic SD Card Burner, created the bootable SD card and actually the box managed to recognize it (blue light was on), but always after the updating screen I was getting an android logo with a cross next to it and was stuck there, like the image wasn't correct or something.
- Decided not to flash a firmware at all and run LibreELEC (and CoreELEC) straight from an SD card. Downloaded the specific version for s905w, tried a lot of different devices trees (dtb files) but the box didn't even boot.
Before powering the box I was pressing the reset button for the recovery on the AV port. The only thing I haven't tried is short pinning but correct me if I'm wrong I think this is done only when your PC doesn't recognize the box, so I don't know if it will be any useful at all. Also I don't have a UART-USB converter, so I cannot connect to serial for terminal. Is there a way to recover from this? I'm in desperate need of help! Thanks for your time.
Hi.
I tried to flash mxq pro. I connected the mxq to the laptop through USB cable but nothing happened. Then I plugged in the mxq to the power supply while it being conmnected to the laptop.
Could that have damaged the usb port in the laptop since the mxq was on power?
Thanks

No this shouldnt cause any damage, some devices need both usb and ppwer connected to complete the flashing process, are you holding the reset button while connecting? You may need to use mask rom mode to force it to be detected if reset button isnt working Look on my YouTube Channel for "AMLOGIC Unbrick using mask rom mode" this video shows the process https://youtube.com/c/AidanMacgregor
