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.

SP Flash Tool works through preloader. Usually when you power up your phone, preloader kicks in first and sets up it's own device on USB port. You have a split second to start talking to it, otherwise it will load the next part of software, which will set up another device on the port.
What do you have to do:
Double-check your USB cable! Cable problems can lead to weird errors in SPF tool.
Shut down your phone completely, remove/insert the battery after it to be 100% sure that the phone is shut down.
Set up SPF Tool, hit download button
Connect your phone to PC via USB cable
At this step, your phone should power up, but if it doesn't in reasonable time (say, 10 seconds), press the power button to switch it on
If everything done right, the following happens:
Your PC finds "mediatek preloader" device or something similar
Red progress bar starts running in SPF tool, it means DL helper firmware is being transferred to the phone
Blue (or green) progress bar starts running, indicating your data being downloaded
A window with green circle appears, your data has been uploaded successfully
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.

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 all,
I'm in a complete head spin so I'm hoping someone here could shed some light on an issue I'm facing.
As the title says, I currently have a Buzz TV XPL 3000 android box. I'm trying to flash "Aidan's Android TV Custom Rom" onto it. But no matter what I try to do, I simply cannot get the Buzz TV box to interact with my Windows 10 PC.
I have 2 different male-to-male USB cables that I've tried plugging into the box and into my PC, but there is no link between them. The PC nor the Android box don't acknowledge any kind of connection. I know a lot of people will probably say that my cables aren't data cables, but I've actually used one of them previously to flash another Android device.
Whenever I plug the USB cables into my Android box and PC, the ONLY thing that happens, is the PC powers up the Android box. I've tried turning on USB debugging tools from the developer menu, but nothing. The PC doesn't even make a sound when I plug the cable in and there is nothing listed under device manager. Nothing appears on USB Burning Tools under devices.. Just nothing.
I've tried plugging in the USB cable, while holding down the reset button (located on the bottom of the box), but all that does is power on the Android box and load into "Android Recover". Still nothing detected on USB Burning Tools and still no acknowledgement from the PC that a USB device has been connected.
The options I get in the Android Recovery menu are:
Reboot System Now
Apply Update From EXT
Apply Update From Data
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe Cache Partition
Burn Keys
I've tried selecting "Apply Update From EXT" and manually selecting the .img file. But it says it cannot verify the signature.
I'm literally out of ideas. Can anyone who knows what they're doing please help me!

Hi, You Might Have To Try And Figure Out Mask rom Mode To Force your Device To Be Detected By USB Burn Tool If Using The Reset Button is Unsuccessful, Look For Mask rom Mode Information, You Can Upload Pictures Of Both Sides Of Your Logic Board we can try and figure it out

Hey man,
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
I managed to get it working. Decided to give it another shot this morning and for some reason, first time around it worked. USB Burning Tool instantly picked the box up, installed perfectly and now I have it up and running!! It definitely seems a lot more snappier than my last firmware.
I do have a question though. With the previous stock firmware, my TV would pick the Android box up with a HDR signal. It no longer does this now. Is that to be expected with this rom or is there something I need to do?
Sir

Hi @zee95 , I have the same problem, I bricked it trying to flash it, now it doesn't turn on not even the boot led nor recognized by PC when I plugged it with usb
Can you guide me please with the steps you followed to unbrick, how did you shorten those points. Thanks in advance @zee95
How you are flashing rom ?
The one i used with an incorrect firmware was Factory Tool v 1.46.
After that the box never turned on, nor even the t9 boot screen or the blue front leds. Also unable to been recognized by any flash tool.
I have tried with SD Card with firmware (using Rockchip Create Upgrade Disk) , hit reset button and power on, but nothing.
Also tried shortening with a clip and needle the two points you mentioned in the picture and plug the power cable at the same time but nothing.
Regards
Having same problim
when ever i connect to pc its in maskrom mode and cant exit from it
plz help
