Hello, I have this tv box (MXQ Pro+ S905) 2GB RAM / 16GB ROM
The stock firmware is horrible, can you help me to upgrade it?
Do you have some firmware?
I tried to flash some firmware, but i think they was incompatible, i got only errors
Originally bought two identical MXpro Android TV Boxes. Since one of them freezes at startup on Android logo (won't enter launcher). My question: is there any way to copy certain files & folders directly from the other identical box to get it to boot up correctly once again? *issue is that I have no use of any computer at the moment. Either this method or any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! -Dave.D.

If you have s905X with blue board than try this one :
https://mega.nz/#!jQ8HWIoQ!ubMpueVYGPA_PtE9snE1buZXjLUeFJP-mOd6vX91wkw
what you need to do is procure the factory image. i may be wrong but there isn't a S905 with 2 gb ram and 16gb nand. the first ones were S905x (excluding capabilities of the S912). there are plenty of alternative roms available including linux based. search around and you will find your firmware. you can even contact the seller you bought it from including amazon and ebay. check chinagadgetreviews.com also. alot can be found there. theres other forums too. once you find your correct firmware, reflash it and see if that resolves your issues. if not. boot twrp on the other one and make a full backup. take this backup, and move it to an area on your sd where you can find it then restore it on the buggy box. make sure you keep a backup copy of everything that works, especially if you cannot find the original. if you look really really hard, you may even find some fully compatible generic images that some developers are kind enough to maintain. you may need to make friends with a ruski to get it tough. thats the best hint im willing to give without provoking any admins or mods (sorry guys if i broke any rules).
im going back under my rock now.
oh and another tip, not all devices are the same. even if they say the same brand. there are differences in wifi chips. you should be able to figure this out. usually theres some model or sticker on the bottom or on the box it came in

ahh, you may need to figure out "Mask Rom Mode" to force your device to be detected by burn tool, assuming you have already tried different usb port on pc, reinstalling burn tool & Also tryed adding power at same time connecting the usb cable

I have a M8s Android box (Amlogic s812 Quad Core 2gb Octa Core Gpu).
I am running a 5.1 ROM (Originally came with 4.4). It runs great but it has 3 problems.
1. Remote doesn't work (I have a zip file I flash to get the main functions working but not all the buttons are mapped correctly).
2. Ethernet doesn't work, only WiFi.
3. When power button is pressed on remote the box goes to sleep and never wakes up. (I tried an apk from FreakTab called wakemescottie which solves this problem for maybe half a day, then it goes back to never waking up again unless unplugged.)
I am trying to downgrade to what should be a proper ROM for the box (5.1 ROM is listed as being for the M8s+) but when I try to it tells me it cannot install the zip package because the date is older than the ROM on the box.
Has anyone figured out a workaround that does not involve TWRP? Reason I am asking is I cannot seem to get TWRP working on my box from links provided. I am not sure if it is because my box is a cheap clone or if I need to do something before trying to run TWRP like rooting the box or something.
Any help on this would be great I have tried so many different ROM downloads I'm out of ideas.
Though if anyone is capable of helping me with the three issues that would be great as I do find the 5.1 ROM to be much more stable than the original ROM.

Use this method to flash the box:
h t t p://androidpcreview.com/how-to-use-the-amlogic-usb-burning-tool-to-manually-update-firmware/3749/
You will need an usb to usb male cable. Connect to usb1 on the box. No power cable needed.
Worked for me.
are there newer images.. I bought one of these

I got the 3g/32g rom was fast and seemed ok android 7.1
until I upgraded or installed the superuser from chain DD said installed ok and asked to reboot which
I did for it only to hang on the boot animation... so very sad
I suspect its altered or written to the wrong partition?
now need to reflash
recovery works with toothpick
is there a image for this new update? and can it be flash from recovery from sd card so dont need a pc
as pc cable method is more a pain

I add the info for others with bricked boxes or bad ram.. reformat reflash can bring them back
also try a new power pack.. often the voltage degrades over years and drops too low
I used the 3gb with the flashing tool usb to right sid port... leave power plug out.. and insert toothpick and
connect usb from pc.. should beep if pc detects device on USB and the tool should show finally

The above link for 2GB is not working, also can you please clarify for which WiFi chip is the above firmware? There are three versions of T95Z Plus: WiFi 8830, WiFi 6330 and WiFi 6335. If one flashes the wrong version, then WiFi will not be working on his box...
Thanks for this thread. I am fighting with a T95z PLUS 3/32GB stuck on boot. I am going to try the above ROM (the one in gdrive is still available) as soon as I can get a USB cable, and report the results.
EDIT: Is there a way to flash from SD? I have no usb-to-usb cable to try right now, I am going to have to buy one and wait for it...
EDIT 2: Flashed through SD directly. Extracted the contents to a FAT32 formatted SD card and inserted it in the T95Z Plus. Booted normally and proceeded to "upgrade". The box is working right now. Sound are wifi are working - cannot say more than that so far. I don't know if the version is older than the original that came with the box, but I guess it should be possible to update if necessary (not sure how, though).
Thanks @kiwiman2000!
I can see from the boot screen that the firmware posted for the 3/32GB model by Kiwiman2000 with which I recovered my box is the 20170623 version. I know that the one my box had before rescuing it was 20170807, so it is possible that somewhere a newer version is available. The OTA updater is not finding anything online, though. In the meantime I will stick with this working version, and if I happen to find an update, I will post it here.
After playing around with the T95z Plus after installing the above firmware, I started noticing some bugs. First, the Play Store resets itself constantly. It seems every time it updates from the factory version to the current one, whenever you open it, it goes back to factory, asks for permissions again, and resets all settings.
I have tried to replace the system apk with an updated version. This works but only when starting it for the first time. It then fails to open, and will only open again after clearing the app data.
Does anyne know how to correctly fix a broken gapps?
Latest T95Z Plus Firmware. Android v7.1.1 For 2GB RAM/16GB S912 Chipset
Here is the latest firmware for the T95Z Plus Android tv box. Works on Sunvell, and also on Weily branded T95Z plus and probably all models with same chipset. Says android 7.1.2 but it’s actually 7.1.1. Latest firmware for this box tho. Runs great.
Google search “latest t95z plus firmware” and it’ll be the first site you see called entertainmentbox. I can’t post links here as I’m a new user.
You don’t need to use the male to male USB cable method to flash firmware. You can use Burn Card maker and update box using micro sd card. USB burn card maker can flash new firmware and also revive bricked Amlogic based android tv boxes.
search on YouTube for “t95z plus burn card maker” and there are many videos on how to use this method.
Hope this helps, it will get your box updated to Android v7.1.1 build T5ZP1013 kernel v3.14.29 android security patch level February 1, 2017 Model T95ZPLUS despite the build saying T5ZP1013. I assure you it’s the T95Z Plus firmware.
As for google play updating, then returning back to previous version and default settings every time I believe this is to keep the box running without breaking any apps or software for the current firmware. You really only need the version the firmware comes with. If you wish to update keep a lookout for future firmware releases. My box has the same issue as do others I have asked. I also like to have the latest version of everything too so this is what prompted me to check into the google play thing myself.
Happy Flashing!!! -~
T95z Plus will not flash
I have tried over 7 different roms, different usb, ect all the same result
UBOOT/Partition _aml_dtb/Verify patition/Error result can't pass 9%
What does that mean??

I ran into this problem, since Kodi wasn't playing right. I used a script program universal init.d and supersu, and after supersu rebooted the device it hung on reboot. I have an easytone t95zplus but don't see any of their firmware posted online.

You first need to determine the precise model to get the firmware:
1) Is it a 16 or 32 GB model?
2) Is it model q200 or q201?
You can check these by booting into recovery.
Need files for recovery
Hello guys, i need some dire help.
i have a 3G 32GB variant with AP6255.
my wifi was broken hence i browsed thru and was flashing the firmwares using tooth pick method.
1st attempt. - my recovery didnt boot at all. no HDMI signal was going to the TV
2nd attempt - managed to boot to recovery and flashed the firmware. wifi was not fixed.
3rd attempt onwards i could never get into recovery.
looks like my sd card marker is missing some boot files.
appreciate someone could guide me the extact steps and files i need for recovery to work.

I am not sure of how to help you- but I will tell you this: I did not use a SD card maker. I just pasted the img file into the root of the SD card AND also included the extra files (which I believe are needed for proper boot and installing) from a different img file package I found somewhere else. So, tell me if this can make sense somehow:
Get the img file you tried to use in step 3 and put it in a SD along the extra files included in the package you used in the second attempt.
This is sort of the way I had to go to fix mine (although, for the sake of truth, my box is pretty unstable now - freeezes and hangs often). I hope an update would come out, but nothing so far.
Hi everybody, I'm just posting to let you know that I have very much upgraded my T95Z Plus 3/32 through the instructions in this thread, which includes firmware and recovery files.
Hopefully someone else can give it a try.
hello,

Hi,
Just bought this tv-box and while trying to update it with a different rom bricked it. It shows just red LED and nothing happens, also while trying go into recovery (toothpick + power cable).
Does anybody have detailed tutorial how to unbrick the box ?
Thanx in advance.
I am in your very same situation. Tried the sd card burning method and also the usb one, but no success at all. Hope there is some solution.

There might be a hardware change for those boxes, the Nexus ROM TV Stock thread has pics on what changed. Best to watch that thread since a solution might be posted soon
I am in the same situation. I tried the sd card burning method and also by the usb cable, but no success at all.
I have got m8s pro+ 2/16gb s905x, The device was purchased on the gearbest website.
some news from my yesterday fight:
sd card burning - many variants of rom, after restart, but on the mainboard there was not observed the reset button, only place named "k1" -> I soldered two points from "k1 place" to make a reset
after that
try by male-male usb cable and usb burning tool 2.0.8, Error result: [0x10105002]Romcode/Initialize DDR/Read initialize status/USB Control setup error
I tried 4 different firmware's, and the same happens every time. Can anyone suggest something?
I can copy whole error if it can help determine the problem.
found on the internet
Romcode / Initialize DDR / Read initialize status / USB Control setup error
-> An error occurs when memory chips do not match. Firmware with ubut for some, but sew on others. It remains to ask the seller about the original firmware: (or shovel (look) available.

You need to press the hidden reset switch (accessed via pinhole on bottom of case) when you connect the USB cable, and it's got to connect to the USB OTG jack, which is the one closer to the power jack.
or see on this video youtube on front panel : xxxxs://XXXX.youtube.com/watch?v=WpThZ2sgkhUt
or maybe same at this video an other place : xxxs://youtu.be/N27pAxtcDSg?t=268
if is not clic take a pinhole if is ok you arrived after bootloader MECOOL ON menu
and take a factory reset
if you don t boot

I know how you're guys feel... Is there any new idea or suggestions to unbrick the devices?
After OTA Update the box only shows red and blue at the same time, no boot, no detection of windows with reset button or / with holding the circuit shortcut at "K1".
Can't believe that Amlogic is even worse than the Rockchip boxes to unbrick...

Actually, i write to you on message and on the forum also and describe mine problem. Probably you didn't get or missed.
Downloaded all your ROMs for s905x and decide to test them.
Flashed few times two ROM's and everything was OK. Flashing via USB Burning Tool
1.[v7.5] (Nexbox) Aidan's ROM [S905X] Nexbox a95x 1GB 2GB+.img
2.[v7.5] (UNIVERSAL) Aidan's ROM [S905X] 1GB 2GB+.img
After i flash [v7.5] (MXQ) Aidan's ROM [S905X] [P212, P214 & P242] MXQ Pro 4K 1GB 2GB+ (720pUI & 210DPI).img
Box won't go anymore in Recovery mode.
USB Burn Tool will not recognize as a device anymore even reinstalled LIB Drivers and tested on 2 PC with Win 7 and Win 10
Via SD Card will not be recognized too - Fashing not start at all possible due missing recovery.
This Box don't have TP. There was no need to press the reset button to be connected when i flash with success, only inserting USB was enough. Now Box will start and hang on Aidans TV Logo and stay there forever. About Hardware its not 100% .
Mine Box is Beelink Mini MXIII 2GB-32GB S905X AnyHelp will be appreciated.

Heres My Board & Points To Short
Your browser is not able to display this video.
Try just waiting.
Open USB, load other image which you knows it worked before, press Start immediately in USBT, than plug in your USB A-A and push the recovery button with toothpick. And than just wait. 5-15mins
Works every time with my box. No need to short anything.
Hi dear friends,
thank you in advance for your help. I have a strange stuation (at least for me) with this box from Foyu x96 mini.As you can see in photo and also written on paper box , it has Amlogic S905W 4G 32G rom, but if i go inside Kodi for example in System it says it has Rockchip 3229... then also on recovery mode on boot mode it states "android recovery rockchip 322x ..... I've tried with Amlogic burning tool but it doesn't recognize the hub connection and it doesn't burn another rom for S905w. I've tried shortening nand pins..nothing
Have you got any suggestions to erase all and burn an Amlogic s905w Rom , considering there's an S905w cpu?? i don't think it's a false one! there's no Rockchip inside!
thank you
Isn'it strange? Any suggestions?
..seems i found the million dollar question.. the only post that puts in crisis all the forum...
ive seen amlogic devices recovery reporting as rockchip, its usally just a mismatched recovery, i would try and figure out mask rom mode for this board, see my video here for some info

Thank you for your kind answer,but i tried also with mask mode,it only sound but no connection. For me it's a fake chip,otherwise why with rockchip tool it normally connects? Also on kodi it's incredibly slow,and in system maximum resolution is 1280*720!! Absurd

I can't see if yours has amlogic s905w chip,anyway mine it's not locked,you can try with rockchip tool to burn image if you got Rockchip inside
yes I have a S905x chip, it doesn't look very good but I managed to take a picture.I tried with usb burninig tools but my box is not seen by the computer and I don't know how to use the nand method.
If your x96mini is not locked, you can help me with a stock firmware of your box, to try a rewrite of my box with the sd card method. Thanks anyway for the help. I have been looking for a solution to unlock the box for some time.

Sure,probably it is,but with librelec would be only kodi...
Hello, thank you for your help. If I install the firmware from the link you sent me, can I then write another firmware? If I find the original firmware.

Just to confirm if you have Rockchip inside, anyway LE is runned from SD card, nothing will be installed onto the box.
Ok thank you.
Hi, I tried LibreELEC but it doesn't work. I'm attaching the image with the received error, maybe you know what the problem is. Thanks

Did you create bootable media...

Yes I created a bootable sd card, with LibreELEC rk322x the box does not start, the LED remains off.
Well it look like you guys have a fake amlogic like me on the tag is 4GB RAM and 32GB flash store. All the inside chip has been marked like the real one but are fake. Main chip is RK3229 and the ram is just 1GB and 8GB flash. I successfully unbrick this **** using rkfactory tool and a rom for RK3229 chip. step to follow: 1. install rockcip drivers, 2. start factory tool, 3. load firmware in factory tool, 4. conect USB A - A cable to pc, 5. tooth pick in the AV port and pres the restore switch from inside, 6. connect USB A - A to the OTG USB port on the box the port is the one next to the tf card reader, 7, the hub is recognized by the pc and it be detected by the tool factory, 8. flash the firmware, enjoy.
