I bought the A95X F3 after I had lots of fun from the A95X F3 which should be inferior, anyway, I received a bricked the device, and my refund request has been turned down even though I completely shows the TV not booting etc.
Anyways, as a last resort to not throw my $40, I'm trying to revive the device. I have previously re-flashed a ROM I've found for the A95X F3, and it actually worked, I managed to boot and everything, it worked just fine for around 2 weeks and then I noticed that it got stuck. I tried to disconnect and reconnect the power cable to the TV box, and since then nothing happens...I can see some red light, but no boot, nothing.
I tried re-flashing again, but it doesn't seem to work this time. Previously I had an issue which I had to uncheck the erase flash and erase bootloader options, and afterwards it simply worked, but this time even if I'm unchecking this it doesn't seem to work and gets stuck on Download DDR on 1%(which is what happened with the erase flash and bootloader checked).
Even though it's unchecked, I do see the status of "erasing bootloader" in the beginning, so I wonder if that could somehow be the reason for that, but I can't understand why would this happen?
Anyway, kinda lost, would love to get some suggestions on how to fix this if possible.

You have the usb tool? If not find it.. (DO NOT CONNECT THE BOX) start the tool, add the image file and click start.. Now, using a toothpick press the reset button in the a/v port and while still pressing it connect the box to your pc.. it will automatically start rewriting the firmware..
Have fun
I found the solution.

after 3hrs of head bang I FOUND THE SOLUTION.
use ver 2.1.7.3 usb burning tool.
feed the pasword .bin file under view>password
try temprature range 10-65 .
if range does not work, uncheck the tempurature range check box.
give firmware image path and press start.
then press recovery botton inside audio jack hole, while pressing connect box to PC (using 2.0 usb port of box), AS SOON AS TOOL RECOGNIZES BOX, LEAVE THE RECOVERY BUTTON.
process will start.
this worked for me....... got my box working back.

@Setting.Out and friends.
I'm using the A95X F3 with another launcher:
1) I can't use widgets (neither with the factory launcher),
2) I can't access the items in the notification bar (neither with the factory launcher).
Any tips, please?
Thank you.

Can anybody give me link to firmware of a95x f3 air?

Device: LG-D325
I tried rooting, unlocking bootloader, and installing custom rom (this link).
I successfully gained root & unlocked bootloader. Than it all went down.
I flashed recovery and booted into it, using "fastboot boot recovery.img" command.
I flashed cm12.1 and after that I got the "purple screen" error.
When phone is off and I try to normally turn it on:
1st screen:
Code:
Secure booting error!
Cause: boot certification verify
2nd screen:
Code:
DemiGod Crash Handler : DBI Err Fatal!
Board Rev.: 1.0
Ram dump mode.
Option : SD card ram dump mode.
Push below files to sd card before test.
rdcookie.txt, rtcookie.txt
Please do following action.
1) Ram dump Mode. Please connect USB.
2) Get the ram dump image using QPST Configuration.
3) If sdcard ram dump enabled just wait for reboot.
4) Collect ramdump files from your pc or sdcard.
5) Send e-mail to [email protected]
The same happens when I plug in the USB cable when phone shut off.
Also, I cannot enter the fastboot menu (previously I could - before flashing CM12.1 via recovery) using volume UP + power buttons. Therefore, I cannot enter recovery.
Any info on this situation?
You need to short the test point of your phone and force the phone to qhsusb dload mode after that boot repair
it will repair your phone's download mode
And flash the phone

The test point method is not the JTAG method

Use the test point method. It works very well and it's quite easy. But first I recommend you try "LG Flash Tool 2014" . If that works, no need to open up the phone for test point method. If you are already seeing pink screen demigod error DBI fatal error, no need to go for JTAG I think.
Feel free to ask if you need assistance for testpoint method. I have already published the method for few other people here on XDA. A little search will bring you there

BoardDiag 3.99c I have an error
AP CHECK START

There were already messages about this trouble,but there are no solution, so i am asking for it.
LGE AndroidNet USB
qhsusb_bulk
Previously i had Pink screen and Lg Pc Suite could recognize my phone
I,ve tried Format to Fat32 my inner phone emmc(i did not insert in my phone microSD card) DiskImageRev2.zip and LoaderD325.img. After format to fat32 it was 4gb.When i,ve installed loader.img it became 64mb with 2 folders in it. Device monitor showed the phone as qhsusb_bulk (i already had istalled Qualcomm drivers) After installation of LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.0.4.exe ( 12,39 МБ )
It was recognised as LGE AndroidNet USB. (com port 3) After that i tried LgFlash tool (tot and kdz firmware,it showed error on 50%) 2014 and BoardDiag also showed error .
I can not convert it to Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (I saw many articles where people with qhsusb_bulk converted it to Qualcomm 9006 after installation of qualcomm drivers,but it did not works for me. Please help
Any ideas? I heared about SRK tool 2.1 Does it works for my Lg L70 D325? Or maybe QPST, or ADP

I think you are referring to the famous "purple screen" mode. Relax, that is not hard to get pass.
Follow the steps below.
But, be warned, I am not responsible for any damage caused by following these methods.
Your phone's battery has to be charged at least 50%.
You'll need a USB "data" cable.The one came with your phone is the best. Some third party cables have only power lines connected in and they will not work. So, make sure you have the "data" cable.
1. First, we have to install the necessary drivers(I am assuming that you're using a Windows PC) .
Here are the drivers. Download, install and give your PC a restart.
2. Download LG flash tool 2014 from here and extract it to your root directory(For example, drive "C " in your PC )
3. Download the firmware file for your specific phone model. In your case, as you have mentioned, it is LG D325. This is a link to a matching firmware for LG L70 D325. This file is big and its around 920MB. After download, extract the zip file to the folder where you copied the LG Flash tool 2014.
4. I hope the above mentioned steps were followed correctly and you're ready now. Remove your battery, press the power button for 5-10 seconds and then re insert the battery. press the volume up button and plug the USB cable(The other end has to be plugged in first to PC. Refer to this video if you are unclear.
5. Now launch "LG Flash tool 2014.3.exe" (right click on it and select "run as administrator" for best results).
6. Once the program is open, and click on 1 and select your kdz file which you got from the step 3. Then click either "Normal Flash(2)" of "CSE Flash".

}
7. Now another window will appear and click "Start" as in this picture.
wait until the program finishes and once done, you'll get the initial setup screen on your phone with a greeting message.
If you're still unclear, please pass a comment. Happy communicating..
A couple days back I bricked my G3 so I tried many things but nothing seemed to work, then I found R-T-B’s guide, and it worked, it can unbrick any G3 Vs985.
I highly suggest you to read the complete guide before proceeding and you must ignore the instructions.txt file included in the Unbrick Kit folder.
I am just writing this, the tools are from @R-T-B
Say thanks to that guy and if you like please donate.
Disclaimer: I’m not responsible for anything, use it on your responsibility
What is Hard Brick?
When your has no power, no sign of life, no indication whether plugged or not, sometimes vibrates when plugged in usually stays at black screen aka dead, LED changes color.
To Put Your Phone in Qualcomm USB mode:
If connected to PC Device Manager recognizes as LGE Android Mobile Usb which isn’t a good sign means you going to have to Short Pin via test point.
Open your phone and take out the battery. Remove the top half of the phone housing. You do not need to remove the bottom half by the usb. Also you don't need to remove the screw next to the camera. If you do remember that it is a different size so keep it separate.
2. You will see a big metal shield. You need to remove it. It is pretty easy just pry it off and it pops back into place when you are done.
3. Next you need to short the pins as shown in the following picture with a small thin, stiff metal wire. While continuing to short the pins plug in your usb cable. You should hear windows detect the phone almost instantly. Keep shorting the pins for the count to 5 and then you can release the wire. See image below, ignore the ethernet connector.
Shorting means just attaching those two points with a small thin, stiff metal wire for 5secs or so.
4. Now open device manager in windows and it should show your phone under com ports as Qualcomm 9008 (COM #). If it doesn't try the process over again. When it does work remember this number. It is going to be used later.
5. When your phone has detected as Qualcomm usb then release the shorting points.

Now you’re ready for resurrection of your beloved LG G3
Pre-requisites:
All you need is in this Unbrick Kit, it’s a pretty big file, download, be patient.
Download it here:
md5:
c2a9cff174ed0d4a1c218023087d10cc
Qualcomm QDLoader_HS-USB_Driver 32 and 64bit
LG_Verizon_Drivers
LGUnitedMobileDriver
Note: Only install 32bit or 64bit drivers of Qualcomm, don’t install both
Procedure:
Make sure your phone is in Qualcomm 9008 mode note the com port # in Device Manager
If you are on a 64 bit system you will need to disable driver signing. Here is how:
Step 1. Open the Windows command prompt as “Run as Administrator”.
Step 2. Run
Code:
bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
Step 3. To finalize the process run
Code:
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON
Or you can simply disable driver signing by pressing F8 before Windows logo appear when it’s booting.
Step 4. Reboot and you’re done.
Connect your phone w/o battery and run BoardDiag from folder “v2.99” inc. in Unbrick kit
And be sure the AP check and EMMC are checked, select AP chipset as B2 (MSM8974AC), check Qualcomm’s port # from Device Manager and put it in BoardDiag’s ComPort box, see image below:
Now click start and wait for test to complete, if that does not work, try unchecking the EMMC test. If that still does not work, use the BoardDiag in v3.99c folder and also try it without EMMC test.
If it throws an error about not being in dload mode you need to restart the shorting process. Hold the short for a bit longer this time.
Now check RESTORE BOOT IMG and choose “aboot” from drop down menu and again click start
Do the same for following partitions FOLLOW THE ORDER!!
BackupGPT
boot
dbi
laf
PrimaryGPT
recovery
rpm
tz
Now flash “sbl1”. Always flash “sbl1” at the end to prevent super brick.
Phone should now get disconnected.
Remember your phone is connected w/o battery till this point.
Now disconnect from PC and put in the battery
Hold Volume Up button and connect to PC while holding Volume Up button, Congrats you’re in download mode. Now use LG Flash Tool 2014 included in Unbrick Kit.
Run it As Administrator, see image below.
You’ll see this window after clicking CSE Flash, hit enter.
Now it will Stop Responding at 99 percent, happened to me, so I assume it’s just a bug in the program. Don’t worry it’s still going to install the software in your LG G3
Do not remove usb/unplug phone till your phone restarts.
NOTES: If you get an error about a dll missing you need to download and install the following: Download
Now your running 47A Android MM
Hope that this helps, also if you find any problems or need help please post so I can update this post.
Feel free to comment and help me to improve this guide.
The guide is attached as 7z for convenience ...
Thanks..
I seem to have bricked my wife's vs985 trying to flash jasmine ROM. Can get it to qualcomm mode but it keeps failing the eemc test at sbl1. I'll run through the guide a few more times tomorrow but its really being a pain. First the WiFi disappeared and it started acting crazy. Could be its time to go even with the new battery I purchased.
Update:
I managed to flash every file that was mention with the exception of System and User Data. Tried to power on and nothing.
I did that for some odd reason jumping the pins isn't necessary and the device populates automatically when connected to USB. I tried running KDZ but nothing. I can try and run the TOT but, I'm a bit skeptical. As of this moment I have successfully erased the eMMC but when testing it always finds some reason to fail the test.
I'm able to write with APC and Restore Boot IMG selected and as of this moment managed to get the system image re-flashed. I'm in the process of loading the User data which is about 11Gb so it'll take awhile. I still have sbl1 at the end to flash. I will note that when I did jump the pin to ground it would always fail sbl1 or load a partition.txt doesn't exist error. I extracted the TOT as directed but it just kept throwing the same error.
I did also notice when the battery is in and the usb connected it is not recognized by my PC.
very good tutorial
"partition.txt doesn't exist"
Is nowhere to be found. What can I do?
Thanks Almighty God and you alich3451, so much for this guide. My VS985 was bricks. No download, no recovery mode, black screen and the led blinks red and blue continuously when plunged. I toiled for for many researches and guides but all never worked, except this one.
Yes, I really followed the steps critically got the phone back from dead to life.
Through my experience i want to recommend the battery in before the flashing of the TOT file begins . Secondly, do not check the devices manager for the port number but ratter check and watch closely the right conner of the taskbar for the pop up messages with the port number written at the end of the message during the installing of your driver by your windows 7 PC when you plug in the phone with the battery inside. That is the port number you have to take note and use it in Com Port area of BoardDiag v2.99a during the flash of the TOT partitions.
With this added to the main guide above you should get everything working normal.
Thanks alich3451 !!
Do I need to short the pins & stuff if I get into Download Mode already? My Phone is getting shown as LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port (COM4) is that alright?
Need help please!!!
while i managed to reach up flash tool step where it stack so i had to start all over again but this time i cant even pass the first step.
I successfully sort the pins every time and after i do a successful test with BoardDiag (without emmc) and i get pass message after a few seconds its disconnects and i cant move to the rest steps.
what iam doing wrong ?
Lg Mobile Flash tool
Hello,
after I hit start on the flash tool, it opens up another lg tool that tries to download stuff from the internet. Then my stuff fails

This is the stock Rom of N & M for Yoga Book LTE & WIFI for the needers
if any dev want to help me developing a dual boot for Yoga Book, just PM me or join Telegram Group for Yoga Book devs and users:
MOD EDIT: LINK REMOVED
Prees the Thanks button if that helps you
How to install it:
Be careful, these steps will erase all your data on tablet and will downgrade rom (stock marshmallow)
First of all: read and understand all of the instructions.
1. Download the stock ROM
https://cloud.kolyandex.su/index.php/s/4WDt6ghOzHAyP4s (Nougat WiFi version)
https://easy-firmware.com/home/browse/category/id/19521/ (Marshmallo LTE version)
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634799507 (Marshmallo WiFi version)
2. Extract it to some folder
3. Download Intel Platform Tool Lite from here: https://01.org/android-ia/downloads/intel-platform-flash-tool-lite
4. Install Intel Platform Tool Lite
4. Boot into fastboot mode
5. Run Intel Platform Tool Lite
6. Make sure your tablet is recognized by the tool (otherwise you need to enable USB-debug in Developer settings)
7. Select "flash_update_from_eng.json" from folder in (2)
8. Push "start to flash"
9. Wait... (You should check tablet's screen in order to lock/unlock bootloader (it should be locked after flash in order to install OTA updates))
10. Reboot tablet
11. Your keyboard might not work: that is normal (just use on-screen keyboard for now)
12. After initial setup: open Contacts app, create new one (if there are no contacts yet), tap search and enter ####6020#
13. Choose your region

16. Go into settings -> about -> updates and update till the last version (may take several hours)
17. Say thanks for alexjustes for his Amazing Steps
Thank you so much for posting this!
Have you tried flashing this through @danjac's TWRP build? I know trying to restore any nandroid backup made after the OTA upgrade to Nougat results in a boot loop.

I'm 99% sure this isn't flashable in custom recovery, at least without some modification and repackaging. It's a package designed for Intel Phone Flash Tools.
Still a huge asset, though, so thanks again!

Same, it can only flashed through fastboot mode
I got myself into quite the pickle today. I've been considering selling my Yogabook to switch to a Chromebook 2-in-1. I wanted to get the device back to as full vanilla as possible. I "thought" the first step was to lock the bootloader again and then do a full factory reset, apparently not... After booting back up from locking the bootloader I kept getting an Intel "bootloader error code 01" and Android would not start. It would take me to fastboot mode on it's own but I was unable to use the power button to make a selection and the device would just power off after 5 minutes. Thankfully from there or fore powering off I could hold Volume up on startup and get to fastboot manually or recovery. It being in a locked state now though I couldn't do much of anything else, no flashing anything other than loader, no format, no erase, and TWRP was not able to be booted.
Anyway I finally read a post about DNX mode and how to get to it, but nothing on how to really use it or any decent information imho. After finally finding some users on another part of the forum discussing a DNX flashing tool made for their devices HTC I went searching for a tool for the Lenovo. Lenovo has nothing for this (shame on you Lenovo!) but Intel does have it and it can be used with the recovery image posted above in this thread (and I assume all the others running around). And here is the URL for the tool
https://01.org/android-ia/downloads/intel-platform-flash-tool-lite
You just have to load a valid JSON file containing the proper config information for the ROM you are flashing iwithin the Intel tool. For this particular version of the ROM I did have to modify the "flash_recover_dnx.json" file to remove this section
Code:
{
"duration" : 5000,
"restrict" : null,
"tool" : "sleep"
},
Otherwise the flash tool would not load it due to the a bad tool from this JSON config named "tool". No other changes to the settings of the Intel flashing tool were needed.
Just click "Start to Flash" and once it was done all was well. Took a little over five minutes, it unlocked, flashed, and locked the device again itself.

No more Intel error stating the device isn't secure every reboot. I did lose all my data that was on it doing this but I wasn't worried about that going into it.
After initial setup in Android I did have to do the trick noted here to get the Halo keyboard working again which then required initial setup once more.
Hope this helps others.
@MarkAllen, thank you for your valuable information. This will help people unbrick their devices.

Please help to flash my yoga book.
Got these with the stock .json file as described above:
06/18/18 12:00:01.188 ERROR : No description value in command sleep
06/18/18 12:00:01.188 ERROR : Cannot create command with tool "sleep"
06/18/18 12:00:01.188 ERROR : Tool sleep not found or invalid tool configuration
Opened that file in notepad and deleted the sleep section - started flashing.
The usb drivers are definitely required, I lost the connection because they weren't loaded. I installed them and refreshed device manager and she started receiving the flash.
Used Win7 to flash also, the intel page says its not supported.
Flash success and locked bootloader after entering the country code - thanks very much all!

When selecting the mirror links to download the files Bitdefender warns of a trojan risk as does Malwarebytes.
I updated the A95X F3 SLIM software and now the EON mobile application does not work, previously with the old software the EON app worked ???
How do I install old software back on the A95X F3 box, where can I get it?
The application normally loads from the google play store, but when the application starts it shows this

hello guys
I hope someone could help me recover my box,A95x f3 air its been dead for almost 2 months now.
the box is recognized by the computer and usb burning tool,the light turns blue, but the flashing stops at 3% showing this message Romcode/Switch status/Identify/Error result.
I tried different roms ,even asked the vendor for the stock FW,nothing helped, I tried the sd burning card maker method but it didnt help neither because the box doesnt even boot ,no video output.
I have read in some forums that the Uboot might be corrupted,but unfortunately my knowledge about this is very limited.
any help would be appreciated,thank you.

You have the usb tool? If not find it.. (DO NOT CONNECT THE BOX) start the tool, add the image file and click start.. Now, using a toothpick press the reset button in the a/v port and while still pressing it connect the box to your pc.. it will automatically start rewriting the firmware..
Have fun

适用型号：MI BOX 3 （MDZ-16-AB）国际版
需要使用工具：
电脑 Windows 7 或更高，建议使用电脑后置USB接口
下载 MDZ16AB.IMG 固件

USB 公对公电缆 ，可以使用废弃USB线制作，长度0.5米内为佳。
U盘（USB硬碟） Fat32 格式 ，在最后步骤使用。
--------开始----------
1、打开 Amlogic-USB_Burning_Tool ，点击左上角加载MDZ16AB.IMG固件，固件校验完成后，注意右边选项 -- 烧录配置：勾选--擦除FLASH --普通擦除 ，不要勾选：擦除bootloader，这很重要，选择错误会删除DRM授权，Netflix SN将会丢失，再一次确认没有选择错误，点击“开始”。
2、使用USB 公对公线缆 连接电脑和没有接通电源的MI BOX 3，然后按住蓝牙遥控器 返回+确认 不放手 ，接通MI BOX 3 电源，进入Recovery模式。
3、在Recovery界面，使用蓝牙遥控器，选择 Reboot to bootloader ，按确认，MI BOX 3会重启，电视会显示一个灰色 MI LOGO 界面，成功进入官方 bootloader 预加载密钥认证，这是刷机成功的关键，注意不要断开USB线 。
4、再一次拔下 MI BOX 3 的电源，等待5至10秒钟，按住蓝牙遥控器 返回+确认 不放手，同时接通 MI BOX 3 电源，你会看到 Amlogic-USB_Burning_Tool 进度条在动，过程从1%到100% 。
5、Amlogic-USB_Burning_Tool 进度达到100%后，点击停止并拔下USB电缆，断电重启MI BOX 3 。然后MI BOX 3 会进入 recovery 恢复循环，不要紧。
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。
Thanks for your information, I'm tried to mibox downgrade ,too.
My mother language is chinese, too.
Thanks again. (再次感謝)
can you share the source link please
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
[QUOTE =“ 372812，帖子：84011735，成员：8569207”]
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

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.

Please make sure that your mibox3 is running normally and there is no fault before it can be degraded! Do not need to open the circuit board, strictly follow my tutorial operation

Hi, my Mi Box powers up, but does not seem to output anything via HDMI at all. Any advice on how to get it running again?

that instruction good for future "romintruders"...
but i (without any claims or towards you or your tutorial) just need any help or suggestion, not a warning ... - because all this has already happened to me ;/
...and although I'm sure that on my mibox3 had everything running normally and there was is no faults !! -... for one reason or another ...- something went [email protected]#$%F$ wrong - during the operation process
... and I'm definitely not the only one with whom the same thing happened ...
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.
Didn't try DRM yet, but Netflix cert is there
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.
I used a package from a link I have found on the Russian forum (4pda).

Good luck to all who want to get box downgraded too.
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
Any suggestions?
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 ?
