Choose disk then ‘Choose your image files’ to open image and select your specific .img firmware for your Amlogic device.
I would highly appreciate if someone can help me. I am trying to update my box but cannot find correct info.
My model is " Nexbox MXQ PRO" but doesn't state 4K on the box.
So I am not sure will this ROM work for me.

I've got this same box. Stops at mbox logo at boot. No recovery. Did you ever find a fix? The link above is dead.

UPDATE FOR ANYONE WITH THIS BOX: This bricks because it is a "junk clone Chinese" box. Just as yours in your pictures, my board reads as a P201, but it is not. It is a p211 (p212). The original recovery also shows as a p201, but can't even wipe cache or data because it is a mismatch. I can not find anything to unbrick. Tried everything, but you can run Libreelec and Coreelec thru USB port. By putting in a "burn image" in SD slot. Will fail to burn but after a few seconds will boot from USB. ( Does this mean boatloader OK?) I will not give up. I'm waiting for a UART chip I ordered to connect via serial. Don't know what I'll find.
Hello,
My X96 mini TV box doesn't play youtube videos correctly (crashes and lags), returns the language to Chinese after a power cut, lags a lot, the launcher constantly crashes and many more issues.
I would like to get instructions on how I can install TWRP recovery on the box and install a non-buggy firmware that will play YouTube videos correctly.
Can someone help me?

Thanks a lot, but the computer didn't read the x96mini even after I installed the driver! and I was stuck at the TWRP menu and used this zip file ROM to successfully flash my box https://mega.nz/file/A8dGWCjI#5T7YRQuOeR6f__53KbJCh3qw0N-jol_9xIiz-XhTFBY
Now I'm not able to work the remote! even I tried to copy/past original one and nothing happens!

Easy guys enable adb debugging by tapping the build number 7 times in the settings>about menu.
Then make sure your default USB protocol is set to mtp or file transfer and not *charging only*
Next you find out your box ip address, download remote adb shell on your phone then make the connection (sometimes you will have to accept the promot on screen)
Type :
reboot recovery
Your box should now reboot to stock unrooted recovery

Thanks, That worked! I could enter to stock device's recovery using this method. But how can I enter EmuElec other retro emulator systems?
I've done it before on x96 air (s905x3) box as it had custom Rom and was root.
I've made a retro elec sd card (specified to my Amlogic s905x2) but when I enter recovery nothing happens. Also when I go to update from EXT>SD card, it only shows folders on the sd.

You have to use the IMG card burner tool like Rufus, balena etcher and burn the image to card.
If youre going through the emulec route or retroelec etc you don't need to >apply update > sdcard simply power off the device insert a cotton bud or toothpick in the av port (reset button) insert sdcard with whatever img file you have burned into the sdcard slot or usb whatever .
While pressing in the reset button with tooth pick, power on your device. It should boot to the img on the SD, sometimes it may take a few tries mate. But it's should boot then
Thank you for your help. That was awesome! Although I could not enter EmuElec using the reset button method as my box instantly booted up to the rom every time, but I used remote ADB shell and "reboot update" command and my box successfully entered the EmuElec.
But it's much easier to use av (reset button) and I had no success doing that.
Can I use an audio or AV jack instead of a toothpick or it must be something non-conductive? I used AV jack and a toothpick but non of them worked.

Most boxes have a hidden reset button located inside the AV audio input, if you insert the toothpick or cotton bud into the small hole and press you should feel a button clicking. This is the "update" button or "reset" button.
If you power the device down and insert the toothpick and hold the button in for approx 20 secs then power device on it should (in most cases) boot to recovery menu.
If it does not (and you've figured how to get to recovery) you can either use adb or download an app called "powermenu little Vic apk" this is an app that will boot, reboot, reboot recovery, sleep, and so on providing your box has minimal root it should work.
I prefer to use the app and boot to recovery from the rom itself, you can also go into the update menu or update app and select "local update" and this should do the same job

Thank you for your help. I think I need to root the ROM to unlock some features. Also, I got a non-original PS4 controller that can't get connected to the box via Bluetooth or cable. The controller does not have any problem connecting to my android phone and tablet via Bluetooth or cable but on my box, it fails to get paired. Also, the box easily pairs with original PS4 controllers. So I want to use Sixaxis app and give it a try.

What processor does your box have? And what android version.
Have you tried looking for other custom firmwares?
The processor is an amlogic s905x2 (16GB internal/2GB Ram) and it runs an Android TV 8.1.
I'm happy with the firmware but I need root access. Also, I don't know the exact model of my box so finding another compatible firmware is not easy.

Hello if you can download and install Aida64 mod apk and check your device android version, board name, processor, device model name with that.
But if you want root you can use the amlogic burning tool to easily install a firmware with root access. Some have it built in others require that you use twrp to flash and install supersu, magisk manager/zip.
But start by installing aida64 then you will have a lot more information of your device.
Model: Tanix TX9 PROCPU: AMLogic S912OS: Android 7RAM: 3 GB DDR3
Hey guys,
As you can already read in the title I have a problem with the Tanix device. I've been trying to swap the original ROM for a custom ROM for the last few days, unfortunately I can't get into recovery mode.
The device always seems to hang as soon as I turn on recovery mode at startup.
Methods I've tried so far:
Recognizing and flashing the device on the PC via USB Burning Tool 2.1.6 - here it does not recognize the device, it gets stuck if i try to restart it via a pin
On the TV itself via the power cable - it also gets stuck here immediately if I want to restart it with a pin
It seems like there is a problem getting into recovery mode at all. Anyone know what else I could try?
Attached you can see the pictures of what can be seen on the TV and on the device itself if it gets stuck.
