Hello,
First of all I want to apologize for my probably poor english and if I post in wrong category.
I bought a TV Box as in title. It was stuck on original logo. So I started to read...
I've tried to flash firmware. Tried several firmwares from the internet that (I think so) matches to my box. Nothing worked...
I can connect the box to pc and use USB Burning Tool but none of the firmwares worked. I've tried options like "Normal erase" and "force erase all". Checked "Erase bootloader". Burning was always succesfull but did not give me working system.
I've tried sdcard update method also but it always gives me errors like "no /sdcard", "read only", "no such directory" etc. (I'm sorry...after hundreds of attempts I cannot remember exactly word by word).
Tried update from pendrive but also failed.
May it be a problem with version of my device? On the sticker inside are: M8S, 2G/8G, AP6330 and 20150813 an on the board there is "M8 v9_0 20 50307". I found the method where there are some pins to connect but I have a FORESEE chip without any legs.
Right now I don't know if the firmware files I've dowloaded were all bad, were they for another version of M8S or maybe it's a hardware problem.
Also some firmwares gave me larger Amlogic logo and some gave me a smaller one. Don't know if it means something. Once or twice it passes Amlogic logo and show next, animated one but it hang at that point.
After 7 hours of fighting I have no ideas what I'm doing wrong.
Would appreciate any help...
Thank you in advance

Hi folks, I'm hoping someone can help me unbrick my MXQ Pro 4k. I've searched high and low for the stock firmware but it is nowhere to be found. My box seems to be a peculiar variant and the specs are as follow:
S905x 1GB/8GB S905XQ_V2.0 2017.05.16
SV6051P Wifi
SK Hynix H27UCG812ETR DDR3
It became bricked when I tried to flash different atvXperience firmware img files with the Amlogic USB burn tool. I had successfully flashed it with a version posted by minixfreak on the freaktab forums.
Although not with exactly the same specs, it worked pretty well except for the remote control wouldn't function. So I tried to flash again with what I thought was the stock firmware but unfortunately, that bricked the box pretty good. I tried to revert to the atvXperience firmware that worked from the post, but it now always fails at 7% when trying to format with USB tool. In all cases, I've tried every possible combination of pushing in the reset button in the AV port, shorting the NAND pins, switching the order of USB ports... The box always has a red light when powered and is always recognized by the USB Burn Tool driver when connected to the OTG port on the box but always stops at 7% when it attempts to format.
I hooked up a serial usb/ttl cable to capture boot output, turned on the box and it seems the box is in an infinite loop with the following output:
LOOP:8F;EMMC:800;NAND:85;SD:800;USB:8;LOOP:90;EMMC :800;NAND:85;SD:800;USB:8. It appears the bootloader is corrupt or maybe has been erased.
I tried making a bootable sd card using both burncard maker and bootcard maker but that didn't work either as it can't get past intial boot attempt, even pressing reset or shorting nand pins. I'm not sure if it's because of the boot loop or perhaps incorrect firmware. I haven't been able to find the definitive stock firmware anywhere. I would appreciate help in finding this elusive firmware.
I've scoured the internet for a solution and tried many different things but nothing can get me out of this loop. I'm now at a dead end.
I once had a bricked router that I was able to fix by connecting usb/ttl and putty and repeatedly hitting Ctrl-C after rebooting to get a CFE prompt. At that point I was able to manually flash the router with firmware and revive it. Maybe there's a tool available that would possibly do something like that with the android box?
Also possible I guess that something in the hardware is toast and it's just a paper weight now. Anyway, any help and suggestions would be appreciated.
Hello,
In this days i got an mxq pro 4k from a friend of mine.
The problem was that the mxq pro randomly didn't work for him, and just went to recovery every time. He preferred to buy a new one.
I tried to fix it with the sd card and eventually i got some positive fixes. But i didn't like the firmware installed. "It was slow and horrible" "i don't remember the name"
So i decided to reinstall another firmware but this time with a usb male-male cable.
First of all a lot of firmwares didn't work, they weren't loading in rk batch tools or usb burning tool.
"USB burning tool doesn't even find my device".
Then a day i ****ed up with android tool and i did an EreaseFlash, and now i think i got it bricked because i can't even get in the recovery.
I saw some troubleshootings that said to short the nand pins, but i don't find them, and i don't know what to do neither.
I would really aprecciate it if someone could help me.
I don't know how to get the links for the photos of the board, because i can't. I'm a new user.
Hi All
I'm hoping somone has run into this and can share some advice.
Looks like i might have loaded the wrong firmware as my device is no longer being detected by AMLogic Burning Tool or Windows. Here is the device i have https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32811389146.html
I've tried the reset within the AV port which worked when I first flashed atvX-v4.1-S905W (which i should have kept it as it worked flawless) but i was curious and ended up loading the wrong version.
Now when I power it on, i just get red light. nothing on the screen. Nothing else. No response from the AV reset port.
I've read some people talking about shorting pin's but every box seems to be different and couldn't find anyone with instructions for the box i have.
Anyone run into this by any chance?

Just tracing through back what I did and I believe I flashed it with S905X. Since then, all that I see is red LED and the windows no longer detects the device when pressing the reset button.
Anyone have any suggestions or is this box pretty much scrap at this point?
hey, no this box is far from scrap, you need to identify what nand/EMMC chip is in your box to figure out pins to short
Hi have same problem what I do box not deciding TV box on standby mood please help me if you do
This box was constantly freezing. Read somewhere that it requires a new firmware. The firmware that was on the box when I got it was 20181229. Tried to install a new firmware TANIX TX3 MAX & MINI "DUAL OS EDITION from usb stick using the method according to Tanix-box.com website " UPDATE FROM TF/USB MEMORY" . The software was loading fairly slowly so I stepped away for a moment and when I returned I had a blank screen on TV. Rebooted the box but only received the boot display and a black screen. realized I had bricked the box, Tried to download the same software using the usb burning tool but no go. I then tried the firmware TANIX TX3 MINI 20171220 using the usb burning tool. It downloads for about 7 seconds and then stops with an error. Obviously the wrong file. Here are the pics of my card. Sure hope someone can help me out. If I have to short a pin can you give me some details as I am pretty new at this. I do now have the original firmware and have looked everywhere, but can't find it. Thanks for any help on this issue, I've been reading and looking for a solution foe quit some time now.
Latest development, using USB Burning tool I loaded TX3Mini-20181210.img with no errors. I connected to TV and the T3 Mini logo cam on and the the android logo came on and was booting for just over 1 minute and then stopped and the display on the box was 0001.

No doesn't work. Keep getting getinitial error
Hello there! Ive got problem with boot of my device or/and problem with USB Burning Tool.
First of all ive tried few hours to put right image to my device. When i tried with S905W but got problems with Uboot in USB Burning Tool ("0x32030201]Uboot/Get result/DiskInitial error". But i tried S905X and it went well but only when i uncheck erase flash and boot sections. That was the only way to finish burning correctly. And of course its not working and hanging on Aidens Rom Logo (i was w8ing more than 5 mins).
When i check "erase flash and boot" sections ive got those mostly
[0x10105002]Romcode/Initialize DDR/Read initialize status/USB Control setup error
[0x00101004]Erase bootloader/Lowper/Identify/Error result
And yes ive done the Mask Rom thing :/
Pls help
Anyone?
only thing ican suggest is keep trying roms, maybe s905x will stick, it has for a couple of people before

can you help me?
Thanks
I have been using W95 S905W android box since early 2018. Over that time, I have tested multiple firmware on it and all the compatible ones have worked without issues. Eventually, I reverted to the stock and used it for about 2 years. One day, I noticed lagging on the device and decided to reboot it but it didn't power on. Since September last year, I've been trying to flash the stock rom and the rest that had worked before but I have not succeeded. I'm getting the error uboot/get result/diskinitial always at 7%. The box is successfully connecting to my computer even without pressing the reset button. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Thanks.
