I flashed 9.2. [v4] [S905W] Aidan's Custom ROM (200 DPI) (RTL8189) (X96 Mini, X96W ect...).img, but the TV remote is not working.
And then, I was about to try to flash another rom, but my box couldn't stably connect with my PC anymore.
It would show 'connect successfully" on USB Burning Tool; but 3s later, it would disconnect. I tried many times and even changed to another PC, but nothing worked.
I did a lot of searches, but couldn't find anyone who had the same issue.
I appreciate it if anyone could help.
Thanks.

Looks like an port issue or cable.
Try changing ports.
Are you using an amd system?

I am getting another cable to see if this can be resolved, I tried both Intel and AMD
Solved:
Here are the steps I took:
1. open the USB burning tool and load the firmware
2. connect your box via USB to your pc
3. Hit "start" on the USB burning tool
4. use pins or metal tweezers to connect the two points shown in the orange circle on the attached pic
(I have an x96 mini, for how to disassemble it, check
)
5. disconnect and re-connect your box with your pc

I was installing root to my cell phone, the installation everything fine, but when I was installing the original recovery, I accidentally moved the USB cable and it was disconnected, it stayed in the red bar of the flash tool, I gave it in "stop" and try to do it again, now the sp flash tool does not recognize it, but windows recognize the device as "Mediatek DA USB VCOM (Android) (COMX)" where X is a number.
I've read through other topics that keep the Vol+ works, but it does not work with me, or I do not know if I'm doing it right.
I have not removed the battery because I do not know how to open the cell phone.
In the sh flash tool, I use: "Download Only"
Sorry for my english.
EDIT:
I open the phone, quit battery, put again, and sp flash tool detect the device again

How did you manage to open the phone? When I tried it it felt like something was going to break.

I have two of these... wonderful /s devices. both ended up in a bad way. One was OTA update that nuked it and the other was me playing with it. :crying:
Years go by and every so often I see if they can be salvaged, but to no avail. Recovery is working, holding the reset button does nothing; just a blaack screen and then the tv turns off due to no signal. Finally a break through, the USB Burning Tool provided by Amlogic. After a ton of trial and error and the destruction of two many usb cables; i was able to find the combo to restore the both systems.
WARNING
This is not an upgrade guide. This is a use at your own risk, get this thing working, hail mary kinda thing. I cant help or guarantee anything, just after countless hours of seeing unanswered forum posts and scattered info, i had to do something. Again, AT YOUR OWN RISK!

(both are 7zipped in this location)
extract the .img file and burning tool to the desktop.
Install the burning tool, the driver should also install.
import .img into tool, leave all settings default.
connect usb, in my case i had to connect the power cord as well.
press start
install takes about 8 minutes. after it finishes let it sit for another 3-5 minutes, (why not!)
click stop, disconnect usb and then power if needed.
connect to hdmi and plug back in - should be about 10 to be back in the os
REMOTE MAY OR MAY NOT WORK! one did one didnt, idk, im not a doctor.
Hopefully this helps someone else with a bricked device.
I tried a ton of other images floating around out there, but none did the trick. this got me back into the os and operational.

Hello guys hope ur all doing well.
I have problem with my Sony z5c,when I try to connect the USB otg don't work but when I connect it in recovery it works perfectly. Any solutions!?
Hello,
Are you on stock Android? If not, which ROM or version are you on?
By the way if you are on a ROM, it would be better to reply to that thread.
After some (I don't know which) release of Android, you have to enable USB OTG from the quick settings before plugging in USB devices.Looks like this:

Sorry for the late reply
It could be the OTG connecter's problem, as they are often cheap and fragile.
Have you tried using it on another phone?
(Or used other OTG connecters on your phone?)
I'm on lineageOS 18.1, but 17.1 should work better.

Yes I used it in another phone and it works
And also I tried it in many custom Roms and still the same problem.
OK I'm running out of ideas
How about doing it in this order:
1. Plug your USB device onto the connector
2. Enable USB OTG from quick settings
After that, you should see a toast saying "Starting USB OTG Detection for 30000 milliseconds"
3. Plug in the USB OTG connector
That's what worked for me. For reference, the toast looks like this:
OK I will try
Guys, few days agoI flashed my X96max S905X3 with v7. 1 Aidan V9 .img for H96 Max X3 with USB burning tool V2.2.0, and after flashing was done, removed USB cable, stooped the USB tool, and then I tried to power it up, but it won't start at all. It's completely dead.
Any advice please?

Got the new box from store
Hope this one will not brick again
Bad luck.
This time flashed with Slimhouse v11.4 but he same happened.
Perfect time for using the screwdriver
Succesfully unbricked via NAND mask mode.
Had to connect this pin to USB ground. Straight forward job.
This time I flashed my box with Slimbox ATV V11.6
It booted correctly this time.
Everything works

Hi,
I just bought a new laptop with USB-C port, and when I plug in my Xperia 1 III, it only charges the phone, and won't detect it as a storage device.
I'm using USB-C cable that I got inside original box.
Is there anything I can do to solve this problem?
Phone doesn't offer me to choose transfer mode, when I plug it to a laptop's USB-C port.
Go to Disk Management and scan for new devices. Access directly from there.
Is the driver for that phone installed, check Hardware Management>USB hubs etc try to update driver or roll back if that fails.
If it doesn't show, use known good cable and inspect phone C port for damage or contamination. Can the phone see other OTG devices?
Try another port on the PC.
Reboot PC.
Play with USB options in phone Developer options. If already on, try turning Developer options off.
Check Event Viewer in Windows for error messages after attempting to connect.
Play with it... you'll find to issue eventually.

I tried everything, and also change USB connectivity in Developers options to File transfer.
Is original cable that comes in a box able for data transfer, or only for charging the device?
I found this in specifications of my laptop, does this means that my USB-C port is unable to recognize my phone?

I doubt that's it. The protocols are generally backward compatible.
Have you got a USB-2 hub lying around? Try going thru that and see if it works.
Hi guys,
I just bought a new data cable (USB-A to USB-C), and it works perfectly.
Thank you for all information you provided
