Hi @ll,
today i revived an old bricked MiniM8S II which i rediscovered in the junk-bin.
I bricked it by flashing an incompatible FW, which led to bootloops and a read-only-serial console. No matter what i tried, i couldn't make it boot from microSD, it kept on booting from eMMC and running into a bootloop.
When i bridged the pads marked in green

it booted into recovery mode
It looks as if there's supposed to be a pushbutton, so i added one.
I made a burndisk in linux as outlined here using this rom image, inserted the microSD into the device, held the new button down and powered it on.
And then it started flashing :good:
Hope this helps someone, since i haven't found anyone else mentioning this method.

Thank you for your contribution.

Hi,
When you say bridged the pads it means soldering ? Or short pin is enough ?
So you do it then power on and it will boot to recovery ?
Do you think it could fix this issue also ? As it is running almost the same board.
Thank you for your help.
Kind regards,

I also have the same problem with my device. it doesn't have any reset or volume button on it. I posted about my problem here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-assist/android-box-stuck-boot-logo-t3127923
could you please provide the steps you took.
I found a part on PCB board which said recovery so I connected the two pin and I got it into recovery but there is no option there. there is also three holes which says debug but I don't know how to connect it to pc.
I had a same device and using Online Nandroid backup I made a backup of the ROM which gave me boot.img recovery.img and some other files I put them in the SD card and put the device on recovery but nothing starts and there is only an android guy resting with no option and since there is no volume or power button I can't get into any option
thanks
This is also a picture of the board
Hey everyone, i have a problem with my phone which is Samsung Galaxy Alpha G850. It is stuck in bootloop when on battery. In the begining it worked on charger all the time but as the time went by the problem was worse and it was stuck on bootloop on charger also. I tried new battery but it didnt work, also i tried flashing new ROM and nothing has changed. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
p.s. I dont have warranty papers buying a new phone is better for me than sending it to Samsung
i have the exact problem as you,any solutions ?

Alpha stucked in bootloop
Hi all Alpha people,
Got also in stucked bootloop SM-G850F.
I took out battery, press power button a few seconds,
Reinsert accu and quickly press vol. down+home and power.
After a few attempts the device turned to download mode
and was ready to install stock rom, found by sammobile.
Perhaps trying recovery if you have one. Greets Nick
Solved
I had the same trouble, buyed a new battery and the problem continues. The solution is to use a small piece of paper to adjust the battery. Please check the images attached of the solution. Hope will help to other people with the same trouble.

Hi guys,
based on some recommendations I purchased the Mecool M8s Pro Plus
But: it seems that this (or my?) box does not have a reset button. There is the tiny hole on the downside of the box, opposite from the LAN and HDMI connectors but there is no button. I tried a toothpick and an office clip but it just does not „click“.
Any hints?
Best, Alex
Purchased mine recently, and just like you, I've faced the same problem: there's no reset button...
Can't find a way to install any firmware on this Android box...
Just check the Libreelec-Forum, there are threads describing how to do this.
What did you guys find out? I can't figure how to root it in order to run 'reboot update'

Thank you, I opened my box and had to short the terminals since the reset button wasn't there.
Finally got it to work!!! Once again, no reset button was installed, but shorting the solder points on the PCB worked!

I already gave that box away to a friend, but should have my hands on another.
It was the exact same location where the reset button supposed to be:

Your MiBox is not the problem........
You have an out-of-spec USB thumb drive. You cannot perform successful flash until you use a freshly FAT32 formatted USB thumb drive. Keep trying different flash drives til you flash properly. Smaller drives are better!!
Current world's record is 9 different flash drives until a reliable flash.....
Be persistent
mine is in same situation..... only black screen. just power light and a red light on audio jack

Guys, few days agoI flashed my X96max S905X3 with v7. 1 Aidan V9 .img for H96 Max X3 with USB burning tool V2.2.0, and after flashing was done, removed USB cable, stooped the USB tool, and then I tried to power it up, but it won't start at all. It's completely dead.
Any advice please?
please use Slimbox rom ur box will be live again you might have to open the box and short two pins but here is the link

Got the new box from store
Hope this one will not brick again
Bad luck.
This time flashed with Slimhouse v11.4 but he same happened.
Perfect time for using the screwdriver
Succesfully unbricked via NAND mask mode.
Had to connect this pin to USB ground. Straight forward job.
This time I flashed my box with Slimbox ATV V11.6
It booted correctly this time.
Everything works
