Hello
My x96 max x905s2 won't boot anymore.
I search for a rom for flashing my device.
Thank you.
Firmware X96 Max 4/32
Hello,
I had the same problem.
Found a working image, https: //yadi.sk/d/uneFXrNpfg0-lg
here you can find a tutorial how to flash https: //androidpctv.com/firmware-update-guide-tvbox-soc-amlogic/
(just remove space between https: and // , I cannot post links yet)
You have to use method 1-B, you need an USB-Male to USB-Male cable, I had to try it two times, the first time it stopped with 17%, just
press the pinhole button (inside a/v) right !
Hope this helps, good luck !!:good:

Hello,
this is my first posting in this exiting forum I just found ! Found / read already some postings, but they couldn't help me in detail.
I'v computer experience only in HW and Win SW. There is no LINUX knowledge. But I think with this great forum my Android problem(s)
can be solved.
My story: Bought PIPO U1-pro.Good build quality, brilliant display resolutuion,weak WLAN. For my first Android device it's o.k. for me.
The device run perfect for some weeks, but than could't be switched on although fully charged ! Some minutes later it was possible to
switch on ? ? ! ! Next day same situation. Made a reset, tablet worked for a while, then every app just made a restart of the tablet.
Now it's dead, can't be switched on anymore. Tried to install latest english factory SW - not possible - RKBatchtool no green "1" possible. only blue on start and red after trying to flash.
But fortunately device is found with RKandroidTool. Tool says" Found RKAndroid Loader Rock USB" . I think that's are good news
I unpacked latest PIPO firmware w windal tool and I think now I'v got all I need to flash the device, that's are :
- RK30xxLoader
- Images: boot, kernel, misc, recovery, system, update
- package-file, parameter, recover-script, update-script
Now my questions:
1. Should I erase IDB first ?
2. What are the correct adresses in RKAndroidtool ? Found different values on different RKAndroidtool_1.35 , especially for "system"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I made some screenshots but till now I don't know how to attach them here ? ? All Icons on below " message " don't operate for me ? ? ?
If you can anwser my questions and have other helpful hints I like to THX in advance
Now screenshots attached
Hello,
now I tried with my XP Laptop. With it it's possible to attach the screenshots, with Win 7 wasn't ?
Main question for me still is:
What are the correct adresses I should choose for the PIPO U1-pro ( 1GB RAM / 16 GB NAND )
See the scrennshots.

Maybe someone could place a foto with indicated pins (to make circuit on flash chip) to go into recovery mode ?

We, or at least I, have tried all the tutorials on freaktab and read a lot of things on the matter but nothing seems to do the trick. It's really frustrating.
rubbish

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.

it's not the deal with ROM but with bootloader and recovery. Because it's not working rest of the problems are what box buy now ? Xiaomi or if are rich, nvidia. Screw that chinese scum. Try MI BOX and you'll find that xiomi is the real proffesional android tv (it's quick, responsive and my wife can handle it so it's the best user freiendly commercial )

i have found this on freaktab :
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
try method with microsdcard take on sdcard the firmware ota here only the file M8SPRO ota
xxxxs://mega.nz/#F!gqgXwSCa!sFNDXrV_EMzAYAcJ68dV0w
and renom on update.zip

Unbrick the M8S Pro+ 2/16
Hi everyone,
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...

Hello everybody I am after some help please.
I own an Abox a1 plus android box s905x. Somehow the original firmware became currupt but there are no original firmwares on the net that I can find to get this box up and running again. With this said i have managed to get it running again through trial and error with a different rom.
The only thing is I am in need of the original remote.conf file to get the remote working again can anybody help as I fear i have run out of options.
Hi, Same request, i have remove many apps on original firmware and don't work after reboot, i flash nexbox 7.1 firmware all work fine but miss remote.conf original (Abox A1 plus 8gb/2gb - s905x, firmware original is marshmallow).
Thanks in advance.

This exactly the firmware I got my Abox A1 plus running with too. It works brilliantly with no mods. I just needs that remote.conf file afaik.
I can't get any firmware to work on my Abox A1 Plus. It always gets stuck on the logo. Where did you download your firmware from?

Hi, take one firmware here but respect your memory configuration (2Gb ram and 8 Gb rom = 2-8G).
mega.nz/#F!F9xjTSSa!R0vJfTC2U6Qc2skNMrr1iQ!hlJDxRxQ
(add https before for full address, i don't have acces post link ^^ )
But if you have original again work backup your remote.conf in system/etc/, or remote dont work after upgrade. (and if you can backup, please post here your remote.conf file) thanks.
Sorry for bad english, i'm french.
Edit : I search for repair and i found we don't have a remote.conf but our file named remote_mouse2.tab
i found my factory code via dmesg –c on ssh and it's recognized, now i remap function one by one
The power on keycode is hardcoded in bootloader (and with this rom is different from original). All key work but if box off, power on with remote don't work.
Delete this please :/

Thanks for the link djmagma59! I already tried this specific firmware, but I get the burning tool error at 98% (see above). I'll try again tho. If I install the 6.0 version of the firmware the installation goes through, but the box gets stuck on boot (logo).
Did you have any issues installing it? Any ideas for me to try to solve it?
Again, I appreciate the help.
Hey I don't know if you still need it but I was looking for help myself and foud this thread, I have this box, it came with with 7.1.2 tho, I'm attaching the remote.conf file for you.

Thank you @Eliminater74 for providing your help, unfortunately my device is X2 & board is different that your pic. Pls check my box pics & suggest pin location.
can anyone help me on this??
Hi Amit @amitsan,
I have the Hk1 Play 4/64GB Box but the board is almost the same as yours. I too bricked my box and was searching online for help for a long time but finally found the Pins by trial and error. Attaching the image with location for support.
Please do note that it doesn't work immediately. You'll need to short it like 10 20 times and then it'll show up in USB Burning Tool. Use a tweezer instead of a flat head screwdriver as you'll need to touch both the points simultaneously. Try to touch them from different locations and angles, it'll work for sure as I'm still using this method and points to flash and test new ROMs.
You'll need to press the reset button inside of AV port and insert the USB cable along with shorting the Pins all at once. It's a ninja task but it's doable. Try again and again, at first it'll seem it's not working but your PC will surely detect the box and you can then flash any firmware you want.
If you want the full official Hk1 Play firmware, below is the link. I guess it should work as it looks to be the same same box with different branding.
You can also search on Google for Minixfreak Spartan OS ROM for H96 Max X2

Thank you @markshane for you kind support.
I fixed my device by amlogic burn card maker trick. That's quick & easy to do.
But thank you for helping me & others in showing the pins location.
Hi @amitsan how did you flash using card maker? Could you please give instructions as I tried before but wasn't able to succeed. Will have use as doesn't require opening the box and playing with the pins.

Hi , trying to recover the above and looking for any img file of Android 9 for this box to recover it .I believe it shipped with pie out of the box so the method using oreo img is not working . Box is dead no picture just read light and in constant worlcup mode no need to short it connects to usb burn tool immediately . Can find lots of update zips but not useful as not responding to bootcards made . Any ideas would be great but i think the only way is to get hold of a pie image .
Kind regards
