Long story short, I accidentally deleted my bootloader flashing atvXperience (aml_sdc_burn.ini had "erase_bootloader = 1" in it and sh*t hit the fan).
Result: red LED, no screen, no magic sdcard, no recovery, lots of tears :crying:
Searching for solutions I found this very helpful blog post: https://blog.danman.eu/bricking-and-unbricking-vontar-x96-mini/
but... my board was different (Q6X V4.0 17392) and the pin wasn't the same or even in the same general place.

The advise in that blog post allowed me to find the correct pin for my board using a multimeter and some time&luck
I then describe the procedure that revived my box:
1.- watch image and mimic wire solder (marked with a red circle and GND label)
2.- short marked resistor using the grounded wire and plug power. Hold the wire for 2-3s and disconnect wire from resistor. Unplug power.
3.- connect usb to pc and otg connector on board. When pc recognizes it, plug power. (if you don't plug in the power, the board has not enough minerals energy and the flashing fails.
4.- use flashing utility to reflash your device (not explaining that here; lots of advise on other threads).
Also, if someone needs the stock Android 9 firmware, here it is:

I don't have screenshots right now, as I'm not in my home right now, but that is the exact rom that came installed on my box. Asked the seller for it and he sent it. Flashed and tested. Android 9.
Also, atvXperience is working on an android 9 version. Seems like amlogic distributed a pie sdk. Can't confirm though.
My box is a 2g/16g version. Can't assure it will work on 1g/8g or 4g/32g

My board also is Q6X V4.0 17392, but my eMMc chip is SK Hynix. I tried to short these 2pins but nothing happend. The light flashes red and blue continuously, and the PC can't detect the board , though my PC can detect X96 MAX+.:crying:
update: I found the solution. In fact, I didn't flash the bootloader. I shorted the pin in the green circle and ground with TF card inserted and it began to flash the firmware automatically...

This guide will help you to recover dead boot or downgrade knox bootloader on N7105.
If you are on dead boot for some reason,you can skip step 1.
if you want to downgrade from knox bootloader,first backup your data.this will wipe the device
STEP 1
Write to sdcard n7105_boot1.img file
Disassemble the phone and inserd the sdcard in it`s place.connect the lcd cable,battery and power button cable to the motherboard as in picture
!!!!! THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS PROCEDURES,YOU CAN DAMAGE THE LCD CABLE!!!!

Around the resistor are glue.you must carefully remove the glue with tweezer.Heat the glue to ~ 80-100 *C with hotair gun or hairdryer then carefully remove it.
With a fine tweezers short red marked resistor
!!! you must keep battery connected,lcd ,short with tweezer and press power button with two hands !!!
Press power on button and keep shorting the resistor 3 more seconds then remove short.After few seconds you will see on screen `download completed`
After that you can assembles the phone.Now phone are in dead condition but it`s ok
STEP 2
Write to sdcard n7105_boot2.img file
Connect the battery and press power on buton. SDCARD MODE should appear on screen
Press vol down key to enter download mode
Now you can use odin
cool! but too complicated for norm users.
Excellant
I think that flashing can be dangerous and on these forums we get many cases of bricked phones
The details the OP has posted are just the type of details that forum members need
THE OP has put warnings into the post and just as with flashing bootloaders or radios or custom rom
you can trash an expensive phone .... but users change front glass with the posserbility of damaging
the LCD ... they change back panels ,,, some fit wireless chargers ... change main boards adn fit new modules internally
I say BRILLIANT post just right for those trapped on nasty knox who would like to downgrade
five stars lets have more hardware mods
No idea how you came across this info. Thanks for sharing. Would love to know the technical reasons behind why/how this works. Fantastic how-to for people in a bind and needing a last resort kind of solution.
Danger but cool!
The part to remove glue and to shortcircuit the power is the most danger one, which I think a noob like me will fail on this part.
But cool... never think about this one.
Sent from the corner of this rounded earth (N7105 v4.3, powered by LionROM)
Just one more detail. Will we need to glue resistor to the motherboard before assembling the phone back?

Really? Resistor is soldered down to mobo. You have to remove glue which covers it from top only not whole resistor.
Hello, there are stillimages are alldead.
Hi , I've succeeded in getting to the last step. So what do I do now? Flash it in Odin? with? I tried flashing with a stock 4.3 N7105 ROM and it says "There Is No Pit Partition" and fail, so please advice. I still think my eMMC is not damaged. Can someone verify if we can get to the last step as what asteraky has shown, does it mean our eMMC doesn't need to be replaced. I am short of this last step, I know there is a ray of hope in reviving this Note 2 N7105.
This is what I get
and what does
INVALID RPMB DATA means ? All I can suspect is that the current bootloader in the phone is the 4.3 with KNOX Authentication key, the boot SD has the 4.1.2 bootloader . If only someone can dump a new BOOT SD Repair with the new 4.3 files in it , it might work. Just my theory on this. Does anyone get the same issue?

Does it need to be a 2Gb SDCard, does anyone know?
I'm trying with a 32Gb SDCard and getting nothing.
i tried this method
but no luck, no shows anything
my phone is dead and motherboard is ok , no short
any other solution
thanks
What is the resistance value of this component? Lost mine, need to replace it with spare.
What about for N7100? Does anyone have the file needed to save on sdcard?
WARNING... CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT THE 2ND PHOTO (ONE OF MOST IMPORTANT) ISN'T ACTUALLY A NOTE2 IS IS??
I Don't think it matches the other photos (also light background vs others)... so don't pull your whole phone apart unless you are SURE the 2nd photo showing the resistor, is the CORRECT ONE!!! Can someone verify this? It also doesn't match a Note2 disassembly video i watched on youtube...
Upgrade Guide can help you in reflashing your device based on Amlogic S905 S805 SoC
Thanks for materials and answering questions to Ugoos Blog and ChinaGadgetReviews
What you need:
Image file
Host PC
USB OTG Cable
TF Card (Micro SD or SD)
USB_Burning_Tool_v2.0.5.15 (maybe another v)
Supported host OS: Windows XP (32/64bit) Windows 7 (32/64bit) Windows 8 (32/64bit) Windows 10 (32/64bit)
Start:
1. You need to download the firmware archive. You should be sure, that using current firmware fits for your device otherwise it could cause harmful consequences.
2. Unpack zip archive. In directory, you can find firmware file “img” and USB_Burning_Tool_v2.0.5.15.
3. Installing USB_Burning_Tool_v2.0.5.15. During installation, you should allow to install additional drivers for amlogic devices detection.
4. Run and Change to English language in menu

}
5. Open firmware file (File-Import Image) and press start.
6. Connect device to PC via otg usb using usb A type cable. Device turns on automatically.
7. When PC detects device, reflashing starts automatically. If it has not happened, you should check amlogic drivers in device manager and repeat it’s installing.
8. After reflashing device you should see “result: burning successful” message and disconnect device from host PC
9. Disconnect device from host PC.
Reflashing firmware from recovery menu:
1. Insert usb flash drive with OTA update package in Box
2. Hold recovery button and turn on the device
3. In recovery menu choose option “update from ext”
4. System let you choose sd card or usb drive. You should choose udisk.
5. Then you choose update zip file previously downloaded on usb drive and system start uploading, checking and installing firmware.
If you suddenly (!!!!) bricked your device:
The easiest way to solve this, without need of short circuit of the NAND pins, is to use Amlogic Bootcard Maker to make a bootable micro SD card with your device stock firmware.
Just upload firmware image on (Micro) SD Card and put it in your device
You will be able to enter into recovery and the firmware will be flashed automatically. When the TV BOX reboots, remove the micro SD Card, this step is very important, wait 4-5 minutes and the update will completed.

Shuts, do you mean power off or just black screen? If power on and just black screen it may can be inappropriate resolution. If power off, Looks like hardware issue in MXQ make a short circuit in HDMI and power security system turns of TV screen. Did you try to connect device to another screen?

This guide looks very useful and I may be able to use it but where can i get the files from? Firmware and usb tool?
Here is my situation:
I have this MXQ android box that I believe is AMlogic. Its is an s805 if that helps.
I recently purchased a newer model (S905) and was going to use the S805 for another room. When I plugged in the S805 again the blue light was solid and I had no display. I tried on different TV's with different HDMI cables. I also tried using an AV cable. Also tried the AV reset option. Even tried the PSU from the S905 unit I had. No matter what I do I can;t get a display. I'm sure it's bricked but wanted to confirm and see if maybe there was a way I could reflash it. Can anyone assist?

Hi, usualy when you download firmware, there is instalation file for reflashing application. ugoos.net/downloads have firmware for mxq S805 model, but you ned to make sure which wifi chip you have on your device. The best way to find out it is to open the housing case and check by your own eyes
Appreciate the help. I opened the unit. There are several circuit boards. How do I determine the wifi chip? On the site you put a link to, where is the reference to the wifi that would be on my unit?
I just completed the shorting out NAND method. I saw the light go out and heard the windows sound indicating a new device. I opened the usb burning tool and saw the hub5 device connected. I chose the image I downloaded (MXQ_112k4.img) and received the error attached.
So I kept trying but no luck . I decide to try an older version of the USB Burning tool and still kept getting the error. I tried again and success. I opened tool, loaded image file, held in the reset button using paper clip, plugged in using OTG cable and waited for tool to connect to it. Then clicked start and it ran 100%.
I plugged into my TV and I started to get the Google TV screen. It got to a point where it said click next to setup. Remote would not respond so I tried keyboard but there was no next to click on. I guess I'll have to try another image.

Please check which wifi you have (just open the housing case very carefully and take a photo from both sides) and may suggest you several firmwares. and take a photo of RC also
Fido what exactly am I looking for? I opened it up and there are several chips. The board itself says MXQ.
BTW, I found a package that actually works. I used the sd card method and it loaded and booted up. Only real issue I have is that wifi does not work only hard wire. When it boots up it says MXQ first then MBOX. I'm sure its a driver issue but the packages that I have found don't mention anything about wifi chip-unless I am missing it.
Olá pessoal, Eu tenho um projetor de marca VIVIBRIGHT modelo GP90UP que deu problema no módulo Android dele com processador s805 chip wi-fi Azurewave aw-nH655,está em boot infinito, porém não consigo encontrar de jeito nenhum uma forma de entrar no modo recovery,não tem usb não tem chip nand e não tem cartão sd, é um tipo de conexão PC-EXPRESS, já tentei usar uma pinça nos pontos de teste pointer da placa na tentativa de acessar o recovery e não deu em nada.

I want firmware for my device. It has 4gb ram and 64gb rom. Mxq 805 model (Amlogic). I tried every thing available on internet but could not find any solution. The device not turning on , but when connect to pc using usb shows connected in Amlogic usb tool. I am also sharing images if some has the same box, do copy the firmware from their box using some copying tool and share it with me. I will be very thankful.
I need too
To many different MXQ device revisons to choose from, you have to know which memory, flash storage, wi-fi chip do you have, to find matching firmware.
Search in this topic on russian forum - h**ps://4pda.to/forum/index.php?showtopic=621980
Maybe is not S805, but box with S905 cpu ?

Im a tad bit disappointing no one has any replied as where to look or give any input to my problem some of us are not android gurus and so far i have spent 3 solid days trying to find out as much as possible to solve my problem. Anyhow be assured once i do crack this i shell do a complete guide for this for these boards and list all firmware links ect ect
UPDATE SO FAR
So iv been digging about digging around and yet still nothing on the firmware side of things but i have found the board make model which is
SunChip AD-Z05 V4.1 and the device is EL-1851AIO 18.5" screen
I have checked the site for firmware which has come up blank also the seller site of the device its self no firmware there ether but now i have better leads i might (fingers crossed) find it somewhere. I will keep this post updated as i go
anyone who has any idea's to this feel free to comment or message me.

Hello,
i have the same thing like you. But im not a developer. Do you have any update about links to ROM or something? Many thanks.
Don't know if anyone still cares or is tinkering around with this, but I came into possession of a touchscreen display board with the AD-Z05 SoC ARM board.
For everyone's info, the AD-Z05 is made by SunChip and designed to be used by OEMs for various things. If you've ever tried hunting down info about it like I did, you'll find very little documentation about it besides this board overview:

Note the "Update" button, located next to the power jack. This is our key to getting into the recovery environment. I haven't found a consistent method for getting it to work, but what seems to work most of the time is holding down the update button, connecting the power source, pressing the Power On/Off button, then waiting until the default android recovery screen is up (should only take about 10 seconds tops.)
From this point, I'm stumped on what to do. ADB reports that the device is in recovery mode, I can get a basic shell and browse the ROM, even finding some factory test binaries, but that's about it. This wiki deals with the Rockchip CPUs and has some useful utilites, but the RkDevTool reports that my CPU doesn't match whatever ID it's expecting. Trying to reboot into fastboot or this "maskrom" mode freezes the utility. I've tried reaching out to the manufacturer to see if they have any documentation, I'll post back if I find anything.
Edit: Also see the official Rockchip wiki.

Hello:
I'm not a developer in the least bit, but I'm trying to find firmware for AD-X37. I've done some searching and thought this might be helpful for anyone who might understand the information: https://www.oschina.net/informat/linux下go语言开发
【GoRK3288】1.Rockchip RK3288, GO!GO!!GO!!! - OSCHINA - 中文开源技术交流社区
前言： 最近看了看Google的Go语言，发现有点意思，这个开源的项目准备用golang来实现。 其实开发板本身的驱动程序已经实现了各个功能，但是有的时候在使用中有些麻烦，有可能需要修改dts文件重新编译内核才能够使...
www.oschina.net
Also, maybe this information about maskrom mode from https://wiki.t-firefly.com/en/Firefly-RK3288/upgrade_table.html
Focus on: In Windows, When Linux upgrade to the Android5.1, how to enter Maskrom Mode:
Steps are as follows:
In AndroidTool_v2.58, click “Erase Flash”, this step is erase IDB, it can’t erase flash, so it will appear “erase flash failed”;
Reboot, in AndroidTool_v2.35, click “Erase Flash”, when it finish, the board will enter Maskrom Mode;
Click “Upgrade” to start burn the Android5.1 firmware.
Sorry if this is not helpful at all. Please keep us updated.
Thank you for the info, @jimlarson77! Did you happen to see any steps for backing up the flash before erasing?
I did hear back from SunChip:
Sunchip is one of Apple's provider. We are professional manufacturer and designer of LCD digital signage which established in 2012,we have more than 80 engineers focus on Android mainboard's software and hardware R & D, commercial media player/box(support Android and Linux OS), also provide SKD parts for LCD digital signage.

I did not see any steps for backing up the flash before erasing. I attempted to flash firefly firmware(through the complete steps listed in that last link I sent about Maskrom, and everything went perfectly until the firmware was flashed. Now the board I tried it on won't power on(I'm aware now that the firmware was not the correct one).
If you would like to run some tests with a functional or non-functional board, I could let you play around with a few that I have.
Thank you for the offer @jimlarson77. My curiosity is only from an amerature hobbyist perspective; I'm curious if I can get my digital sign working and flashed, but otherwise I will just try to part it out.
Hi guys. I tried to flash my nearly new t95z plus 2/16 ap6255 with atvXperience rom with flash tool and something went wrong.
Now it only lights the case around on blue and doesnt boot (no hdmi signal is sent, empty lcd screen on the case). It cant also be found by flashing tool while connected to PC ( with or without Fn button pressed)
Id like to try card burner method but cant find proper firmware, will appreciate any help.
Please refer to logic board photos I uploaded if Im correct with identifying my hardware as Its my first amlogic box.
I want also prepere for short pins method if card wont work. But while googling t95z short pin I always get different looging logic boards so cant actually use tutorials.
If you guys could show which exactly pins do I need to short on the photo I would be more than gratefull.

Bricked my t95z plus ap6255 2GB/16GB days ago. I had no led lights, no clock display, no signal, no boot & no recovery when holding reset button and plugging in, so SD card method was a no go. Hear me out as I'm guessing SD card method may not work for you either. The easiest and safest method of fixing the device is by using the amlogic usb burning tool. You need a usb male to male cord (data transfer cord) plus some patience. You can get instructions and tool at the end of this post...
Some videos on amlogic devices (other boxes) show holding reset pin with toothpick or a q-tip and connecting the male to male USB then flashing happens, but this method won't work with the t95z plus, the device will light up and amlogic usb burning software will attempt to write but will fail due to low power. Needless to say what worked for me was... first pressing & holding the reset button, next plug in the device to a power source, then finally plug in the USB cable and release the reset button once the flashing begins. This device needs to be plugged in to power source for flashing to work.

I hope this helps you out or at least gets you closer to fixing your device. Make sure you find correct ROM. You need to know things such as if you have 2GB/16GB or 3GB/32GB for example, and also need to know if box is older normal RAM model or newer LP RAM model. My device is a 2GB/16GB normal ram, S912, ap6255 model by Weily. The firmware I found and used was the Sunvell T95Z Plus box firmware running android nougat v7.1.2, build T5ZP1016.
One last thing is I've read of some issues when running certain windows 10 versions. If your on windows 10, run installer with compatibility set to windows 7 and also run it as administrator. also run the flashing software the same way. Worked for me.
Hopefully this will help you out. Good luck with your recovery! :fingers-crossed:
Thank you so much mate. This is where I made a big mistake. I tr8ed to flash it with USB male to male connected only. Thats why it must have bricked.
What firmware did you use to recover yours mate?
Still cant find stock firmware for my ap6255 wifi chip. I could only find one to 3/32gb edition while my is 2/16. Is it the same firmware if wifi chip fits ?
Can I recover it with some custom rom or it has to be stock?

I flashed mine with poison ROM found on XDA. Worked like a charm. I flashed it with Poison ROM v4.1 initially after messing up my t95z plus, but last night after writing you I saw they've added version v4.3 so Im now running that. Follow the steps carefully as you need to flash to the correct version of Android v7.1.2 stock first to get updated bootloader. The Stock version you use depends on your RAM type (LP RAM/Older RAM) but it comes with twrp recovery baked in. Then you flash poison ROM using a .zip file in twrp recovery which is baked In. For my machine I used Older Ram method.
Poison ROM
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...mputers/amlogic/t95z-plus-poison-rom-t3751720
It's based on the 3GB/32GB version of the T95Z Plus build 1076 for S912 devices and works with my ap6255 wifi 2GB/16GB model. Says it works with....
v3.0+ and newer is compatible with 1/8, 1/16, 2/8, 2/16, 3/16 and 3/32 variants.
If you need image to flash without twrp and want device closest to the way it was I stumbled upon this link but can't recall where I found it.
It's labeled as for... T95Z PLUS S912 2GB 16GB AP6255 Nougat Build 1013 Multi Wifi. it runs fine on "my t95z plus" and it is Android v7.1.2 but can't be sure it'll run on everyone's. If yours is good as garbage maybe it's worth trying, but poison ROM is much better, runs smoother, better updated Google play store, and other apps like kodi v17.6
Cheers!

Thank you mate. Everything is worth of trying.
My box is only recognized when i short pins on logoc board. Unfortunately all roms I tried ends at 2% with following error:

Could you please upload an image that shows what pins did you shorted to start the flashing. I have the same issue as you did and I can not find the pins I need to short to flash the rom.
Thank you in advance.

Only in very rare cases should you need to short pins. Use USB male to male data transfer cable & Flashing software method is best. Sd card/software writing method can be hit or miss. A cut q-tip or toothpick will be needed to insert into the audio jack hole (reset button straight at bottom inside), if you press it correctly you'll feel a light click.
Steps... Open software on your pc and load the .img firmware... only continue if no errors! keep software open then connect box power supply while you Press and hold reset button inside the audio jack. Then you connect usb cable & don't release the reset button until the flashing begins. You will see this on the pc software. Again, "USB method only" without ac/dc usually isn't enough power for the box that's why box power supply is needed. NOTE... This must be done with (main) USB port 1 on box, USB 2 will not flash for you. If you need pin short method still you can search here....
Pins different for each box, cannot guarantee correct photo but this site will help.

Hi. I have a T95z plus Sunvell 912, before uploading a new ROM and after opening the USB Burn Tool it found my box without any problems, but I unchecked Erase Botloader and it did not start anymore, only the LEDs are lit no reaction. Tried to repair botloader with Burn Card Maker, everything is loaded to sd card but it doesn't work. Shorting the pins also did not help, is the board damaged? Please help
My English is very poor, I use Chinese, with the original Chinese tutorial. Use GOOGLE Translate to English to share the downgrade process. The process is very simple. I hope to help people who want to downgrade from pie to oreo without losing the DRM copyright, WIFI, Bluetooth, and Netflix SN.

6、将MI BOX 3 断电， 把oreo R2167升级文件解压，得到Update.ZIP和xiaomi_update，把这两个文件存入FAT32格式U盘，插入MI BOX 3 的USB端口，接通电源，它会自动更新，更新过程大约5分钟，更新完成后，你将成功回退到 Android oreo r2167 。再一次进入Recovery模式，Wipe 双清，并重启，完成。
关于 recovery 恢复循环，请查看教程：
https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidTV/comments/97rvqg/mi_box_stuck_in_recovery_mode/e4ct7n0/
此方法有可能会帮助到能进入Recovery模式变成砖的mi box恢复原始镜像 ，比如 Amlogic-USB_Burning_Tool 显示 1% Low_Power 错误，但不保证有效。
注意下载完整img文件，不能损坏img文件。使用高质量USB线缆、高质量U盘、使用电脑后置USB接口。

Can you share the original link of the source?
When I leave the male usb cable connected (pc to the mibox3) I cannot enter the recovery, first I have to disconnect the male usb cable, in this way if I can access the recovery, is this so ?. Another thing is that the usb cable connected to the pc at no time recognizes the mi box.
Wouldn't you have to open the mibox3 to cut short, as was done with the 16-AA version?
I am using windows 10 home and if I could install the driver, the male to male cable had already been used to flash other devices.
Hi
in the Status i have [ 1% : low_power ] - and nothing more
device not wake up anymore .... - in the sys when connect to PC - appear the "WorldCupDevice"
( i try diff. usb ports.... 3 and 2 and rear and front)
any help pls?
edit
I just tried another laptop that has windows 10 pro, and the downgrade has worked perfectly for me.
I'd like to try this on my device, however I cannot get into recovery mode. My Mi Box powers up, but does not seem to output anything via HDMI at all

你能分享源链接吗
您可以共享源的原始链接吗？
当我保持公USB电缆连接（pc到mibox3）时，我无法进入恢复，首先必须断开公USB电缆，这样才能访问恢复，是这样吗？另一件事是，连接到PC的USB电缆无法立即识别mi盒。
您是否不需要像16-AA版本那样打开mibox3来缩短时间？
我正在使用Windows 10 Home，并且如果可以安装驱动程序，则已经使用了公对公电缆来刷新其他设备。

You have successfully downgraded from pie to oreo, this post is the source link. There is no need to disassemble the mi box 3. Again: no need to disassemble the mibox 3. Steps 1 to 3, mibox3 is not displayed in amlogic_burning_tool as connected. This is to use the power-off bug to let the official bootloader perform secondary boot loading. When amlogic_burning_tool recognizes a bootloader that does not initially load the system ROM flash, it will activate the amlogic_burning_tool flashing process. Xiaomi may block this bootloader vulnerability in future system upgrades.

Your mibox3 must be able to enter recovery normally before you can use this method to downgrade. If your device's flash memory is damaged, you cannot do anything.

Press and hold the back + OK button of the Bluetooth remote control, and then turn on the power supply of mibox3, which will enter recovery. TV does not have HDMI image display, if your mibox is not faulty, you should check the TV input and HDMI cable

This worked perfectly. Skipped the last recovery/wipe, after upgrade it was factory reset already.
Downgrade fixed the terrible ghosting for me. Picture is so much better in orea.

Hello, I have also downgraded successfully to Oreo. But the process was slightly different.
2] within step 2 (after I pressed Start and connected box via USB cable) - I pressed these two keys on the remote, connected power supply, after MiBox logo appeared I released the keys on remote, and expected the box would go to recovery. Instead the flashing started immediately. Thus I skipped the part making the box to reboot to Bootloader.
PS: anyone knows how come please? Why is the phase with bootloader needed and what is the risk when this not happens?
Maybe it's needed to hold the keys until the box is really in recovery?
Anyway - flashing went to 100% => success.
5] in step I was expecting the box will go into recovery. But nope - it was showing me the 4 colored rotating logos (as when the box is booting regularly) but it had stacked in this state.
So I took the pen drive with the update files and inserted it into box's USB port - attached the power while having 2 buttons presed on the remote and box started doing update. After it's all finished I am a lucky owner of MiBox 3 with Oreo build 2562 again.
BTW - my reason to downgrade was to use Darken WakeLock which stopped working on Pie ROMs (on both MiBox 3 and MiBox S). This allows the box to be waken up from standby - either by TV CEC or by Chromecast which is ready to cast even in standby).

Please make sure you have downloaded the image correctly. My downloads were corrupted when using Chrome on a Windows computer (twice). I used an Android tablet to download, then it was OK.

Hello. I tried to downgrade, but with no succes, sadly.
After step 4, the Amlogic USB Burning Tool progress bar does not move and the flashing does not start. Actually there is no HUB and no progress bar like in your photo. After a short time the device boots to recovery. Where is the problem? Can you help?
The device is on PI.3175 release-keys build.
I'm using an ASUS X550 laptop with Windows 10.
I´m able to boot to recovery, the select reboot to bootloader but the computer/Amlogic USB burning tool does not detect the mi box

i downgraded to android 8 build 2167 successfully but i found 1 problem, i check for new update OS through OTA it give me result that there is no new update,
i'm wondering is that there is no new update at this moment or maybe it's because of downgrading to android 8 make it unable to update to new build versions of android 8 ?
is anyone have the same problem like me ?
