Hello,
I have a T95Z Plus lying about with an Amlogic chip. I have no idea how to install a custom ROM on it. Plugging it into my PC with the Amlogic USB Burner Tool yields no results (tool doens't see the device)
Any help?

Thank you very much! I didn't know you have to start the tool before plugging the box in so this was definitely a lifesaver for me!

Hello,
My X96 mini TV box doesn't play youtube videos correctly (crashes and lags), returns the language to Chinese after a power cut, lags a lot, the launcher constantly crashes and many more issues.
I would like to get instructions on how I can install TWRP recovery on the box and install a non-buggy firmware that will play YouTube videos correctly.
Can someone help me?

I recommend this rom from ATVxperience : https://mega.nz/folder/GEpQmQhZ#ezNEXQdnyNIhm2axjnfTIg
Flash it with USB Burning tool: https://www.atvxperience.com/#tab-Tools
Install drivers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhkpuNinYE8
Flash your box: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwD_EXrJmoc&t=96s
Press the reset button inside the AV port.
Get male/male USB cable, pug it to the white USB port (don't plug power cord).
Load the firmware file "xxxxxxx.img" to the burning tool.
Press start.

Thanks a lot, but the computer didn't read the x96mini even after I installed the driver! and I was stuck at the TWRP menu and used this zip file ROM to successfully flash my box https://mega.nz/file/A8dGWCjI#5T7YRQuOeR6f__53KbJCh3qw0N-jol_9xIiz-XhTFBY
Now I'm not able to work the remote! even I tried to copy/past original one and nothing happens!

Easy guys enable adb debugging by tapping the build number 7 times in the settings>about menu.
Then make sure your default USB protocol is set to mtp or file transfer and not *charging only*
Next you find out your box ip address, download remote adb shell on your phone then make the connection (sometimes you will have to accept the promot on screen)
Type :
reboot recovery
Your box should now reboot to stock unrooted recovery

Thanks, That worked! I could enter to stock device's recovery using this method. But how can I enter EmuElec other retro emulator systems?
I've done it before on x96 air (s905x3) box as it had custom Rom and was root.
I've made a retro elec sd card (specified to my Amlogic s905x2) but when I enter recovery nothing happens. Also when I go to update from EXT>SD card, it only shows folders on the sd.

You have to use the IMG card burner tool like Rufus, balena etcher and burn the image to card.
If youre going through the emulec route or retroelec etc you don't need to >apply update > sdcard simply power off the device insert a cotton bud or toothpick in the av port (reset button) insert sdcard with whatever img file you have burned into the sdcard slot or usb whatever .
While pressing in the reset button with tooth pick, power on your device. It should boot to the img on the SD, sometimes it may take a few tries mate. But it's should boot then
Thank you for your help. That was awesome! Although I could not enter EmuElec using the reset button method as my box instantly booted up to the rom every time, but I used remote ADB shell and "reboot update" command and my box successfully entered the EmuElec.
But it's much easier to use av (reset button) and I had no success doing that.
Can I use an audio or AV jack instead of a toothpick or it must be something non-conductive? I used AV jack and a toothpick but non of them worked.

Most boxes have a hidden reset button located inside the AV audio input, if you insert the toothpick or cotton bud into the small hole and press you should feel a button clicking. This is the "update" button or "reset" button.
If you power the device down and insert the toothpick and hold the button in for approx 20 secs then power device on it should (in most cases) boot to recovery menu.
If it does not (and you've figured how to get to recovery) you can either use adb or download an app called "powermenu little Vic apk" this is an app that will boot, reboot, reboot recovery, sleep, and so on providing your box has minimal root it should work.
I prefer to use the app and boot to recovery from the rom itself, you can also go into the update menu or update app and select "local update" and this should do the same job

Thank you for your help. I think I need to root the ROM to unlock some features. Also, I got a non-original PS4 controller that can't get connected to the box via Bluetooth or cable. The controller does not have any problem connecting to my android phone and tablet via Bluetooth or cable but on my box, it fails to get paired. Also, the box easily pairs with original PS4 controllers. So I want to use Sixaxis app and give it a try.

What processor does your box have? And what android version.
Have you tried looking for other custom firmwares?
The processor is an amlogic s905x2 (16GB internal/2GB Ram) and it runs an Android TV 8.1.
I'm happy with the firmware but I need root access. Also, I don't know the exact model of my box so finding another compatible firmware is not easy.

Hello if you can download and install Aida64 mod apk and check your device android version, board name, processor, device model name with that.
But if you want root you can use the amlogic burning tool to easily install a firmware with root access. Some have it built in others require that you use twrp to flash and install supersu, magisk manager/zip.
But start by installing aida64 then you will have a lot more information of your device.
Hi community.
I have a problem with my Android Box X96 Max Plus with the Amlogic S905x3 Chip.
The problem is that i can't install anything on it. I sign in with my google account and i got Error 403 and error 192 when i tried to install something from the playstore.
So i cleared the data and the cache for the playstore and i tried another account. I also did a factory reset on the box. Nothing works.
After this i tried to install an apk from a usb stick with setting unknown sources "on" but this also didn't work (installation abort).
Next step i downloaded the latest firmware for the box and tried to installed it on recovery mode but the error 21 appeared.
I also tried to flash TRWP in recovery mode (with a usb stick) but the error 21 also appeared.
Do i have to unlock the bootloader first or is the only way to flash a firmware on the box with a flash tool and the connected box on the PC (with)?
Whats wrong with this box or is something wrong with me?
Can you help me?
Thanks
Matthias
hello
i had the same problem the only thing that fixed it is to update firmware but to do that you need to identify your box model first
1-then download latest firmware
2-download and install usb burning tools : https://androidmore.com/download/4004/?dlm-dp-dl-force=1&dlm-dp-dl-nonce=baef81bb4a
3- open the usb burning tools application
4- Click the second option on the top bar to reveal the option for changing the language to english
5- click on the File option and click import image to import your firmware .img file.
6- Make sure to untick the overwrite key box
7-connect your box using male to male usb cable (plug it in the blue usb 3.0) and wait for drivers to be installed
8- unplug your box
9-go back to application and click start
8-connect your box and wait for the flash processes to finish
9-when flash is done unplug your box and click stop close usb burning tools
connect your box to your tv and enjoy

you need to identify your box model first ( Plus , Plus2 , Plus100, etc )
if you have the 1000Mb Ethernet chip ( RTL8211F ) then you can try SLIMBOX ATV and AOSP last firmware (best one i have tested ):
project slimBOXtv
A project to create firmware for TV boxes and sticks with an Amlogic processor. Amlogic S905X, S905X2, S905X3, S912, S922, S905W, S905W4, S905Y2, S905L (Android 9) Amlogic S905X4, S905W2, S905Y4 (Android 11) slimBOXtv ATV and AOSP are two...
forum.xda-developers.com
I really like the slim box Version but i have another problem.
My internal storage says that I only have 32 GB but i ordered the 4/64gb Version (which also stand on the back of the Box). What's the problem?
ok i have figured out that i had a fake firmware on my box preinstalled when the box arrived. So i unfortunately have a 4/64 gb model.
For the solution in the topic, only flashing another firmware helped.
Kudos to SlamD for the help.
Hello,
i have some old NEXBOX A95X-B7N with 1gb RAM and 8gb ROM
I'm trying to install some custom ROM but i can't.
First problem is when i try to access the recovery mode i can't somehow it is skiping it when it's booting.
I'm starting it while i'm hoding the reset button into the AV port and still i can't view and access the recovery mode. I try also with USB to USB cable and USB Burning tool but i can't find proper ROM.
I will be very happy if someone advice me what to do ?
I need some rom which will work and some advice why i can't access the recovery mode. I think there are some installed rom already, but it's not from me.
Thank you in advanced.

hi, i would reccomend my android TV 7 ROM for nexbox a95x devices, fast & stable, as for device not being detected by burn tool, you've tried multiple ports on your PC & box?
It will be nice if you can provide me a stable rom for my A95x
Can you please provide me some link to download it.
About the burning tool and the ports....i have 2 USB ports. I've try in both of them. In one of the port i'm managing to connect it to the burning tool but after few minutes i'm loosing the connection for unknown reason for me. I'm suspecting that maybe due to a issue with the images with which i try to install with the USB burning tool.
In the video description there is download link for S905X, There is a Nexbox specific version (so the IR remote control & sleep works)

I had no problem to install atvx into exactly same device.
Keep a95x disconnected from everything. Press AV button and hold it while you plug usb cable to right usb port. You mustn't plug power cable. Only usb.
You windows will connect to a95x if amlogic tool is running
And if that dosntvwork then you may need to use mask rom mode to force burning tool to see the device
