Hi @zee95 , I have the same problem, I bricked it trying to flash it, now it doesn't turn on not even the boot led nor recognized by PC when I plugged it with usb
Can you guide me please with the steps you followed to unbrick, how did you shorten those points. Thanks in advance @zee95

How you are flashing rom ?

The one i used with an incorrect firmware was Factory Tool v 1.46.
After that the box never turned on, nor even the t9 boot screen or the blue front leds. Also unable to been recognized by any flash tool.
I have tried with SD Card with firmware (using Rockchip Create Upgrade Disk) , hit reset button and power on, but nothing.
Also tried shortening with a clip and needle the two points you mentioned in the picture and plug the power cable at the same time but nothing.
Regards

Having same problim
when ever i connect to pc its in maskrom mode and cant exit from it
plz help

help on lenovo a7000 hard brick

my lenovo a7000 doesn't turn on, can't go to recovery mode. also my first hardbrick experience. desperate for help.
whenever i use spflashtools to download a fresh stock rom to my phone, it always shows this problem
"BROM ERROR : S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032)"
I've also tried to format it, but the same problem comes up.
Then I saw this vid. It's about fixing any bricked china phone.
"How to Unbrick every MTK China Phone ! Preloader / SP Flashtool Fix [HD]"
(pls search it on youtube if you like. somehow i couldn't post links.)
I don't know, but I think this vid is trying to fix those phones that aren't recognized by the PC. But mine is recognized. It comes up on the Device Manager as a MTK USB Port (COM10) with the battery on. But it keeps on getting disconnected and reconnected again. But this stops when I remove the battery, put the battery back on, click on download on the spflashtools, then connect the USB. The error will appear, but somehow the connection becomes stable.
Also this video talks about META mode. With the battery out, I tried all of the key combinations to enter this mode, without success whatsoever. If you know something, pls. share.

Homtom HT3 stuck on boot logo

Hi guys, I recently purchased a Homtom HT3 for my mother, when it arrived to me I charged it and checked it out a bit just to make sure everything was fine which it was.
She collected it from me the next day and told me she'd start to use it the day after, she calls me up the next day and tells me there's some problems with it and a few people at her workplace tried to fix it for her to no avail. I pick the phone back up and I notice that everytime I power it on, it gets stuck on the "homtom" logo.
As I don't know too much about fixing phones I only took the following steps before asking for advice here; I went into recovery mode by holding up volume and power button, the android guy with the red triangle appeared so I tapped up + power button to get into the recovery(?) menu. I wiped the phone to factory settings and deleted the cache in there but it hasn't fixed the problem.
I assume I need to flash a firmware or something to potentially fix this, but I'm unable to find an official firmware from doogee/homtom's site for the HT3. I've found a firmware that I downloaded from "chinagadgetsreviews" but I'm a bit weary to try and flash with that rom because it isn't from the manufacturer. (even if I knew how to - the only experience I have is rooting my own phone but that's when I actually had access to a working phone, not one thats stuck on a boot logo).
Sorry for the long post but could anyone guide me in the right direction here? TIA
I'm not opposed to not using official firmware, I think I use cyanogen mod(?) on my own phone. I'd just like the problem fixed in the easiest way possible.
Trying to fix it myself by flashing a rom via SP flash tools but I've ran into another problem which is stopping any kind of progress - the phone isn't detected in Windows, I can't enable usb debugging because I can't get passed the boot loop, I've tried installing the ADB driver manually which didn't seem to work (just said it didn't install correctly and left me with a yellow exclamation mark) and I tried to install it automatically via ADB driver installer but it just throws up an error that the device isn't detected.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hello. I bought a Homtom HT3 and next day a done an update with sp flash tool. all gone ok, but phone now wont to turn on. I contact homtom and got all drivers and room to fix it. Now i have a problem , i hit download on flash tool , take off battery + pres volume down + conect phone on usb cable. My computer detect it as USB MTK PORT sp flash tool load only the first red line but not detecting phone info, then after 1 minute i get
s_ft_da_no_response(4001) da didn't send response data to flash tool.

x96mini Problem USB Burning Tool

Hello guys
I'm really desperate creating this topic, but about a problem i have with the flashtoom for my x96 Mini S905w
So far, i've tried
Using different versions of the USB burning tool program (2.06, 2.09,2.16)
Using differente firmwares (atvx 2FF, 2C, 2F, official x96 mini firmware 12052018, amlogic upgrade firmware)
Using Windows 10 and windows 7
Ticking and unticking erase flash (with normal erase, force, erase all) in every combination
Plugging USB while pressing the reset button with and without power plug
All of them give the same error : 0x10303004 (as attached in the image) at 4% percent uboot
Whats worse, the box seems to be softbrick (black screen on tv, nothing showing, even tried flashing with usb card maker with no luck, no recovery showing at all) at some point, still blue light, still recognized by computer but no sign of image or recovery on tv, even with sd card or usb recovery to flash (yes, i pressed the reset button too)
Am i missing something or something that i havent try yet? is it brick for good? I even open the box and attach the image, i think im using the correct firmwares. Please let me know if theres any solution to this. Im attaching the error log too.
Try T95S1 Image
Still having problems?
I think you will have to use the short pin method.
I can send you the photo of the board and which pins you have to short.
I'm not home right now.

can someone help me...how to enter recovery in X96 mini i want to flash it but i can not... there is a pin in AV hole which i keep pressing but no recovery mode, also PC does not see device etc...heeeeeeeeelp
You are flashing ROMs for s905w, instead of s905x.
Check below links for compatible ROM

If your LED is red and not turning blue, try to power on using USB male A cable and power adaptor.

and for now it not boot ust black screen
pls help to unbrick device i cant get infro and cant reconized device to find rom for this
on cpu it name s905m-d
Bricked D905 also
I've got this same box. Stops at mbox logo at boot. No recovery. Did you ever find a fix? The link above is dead.
Tullyp
UPDATE FOR ANYONE WITH THIS BOX: This bricks because it is a "junk clone Chinese" box. Just as yours in your pictures, my board reads as a P201, but it is not. It is a p211 (p212). The original recovery also shows as a p201, but can't even wipe cache or data because it is a mismatch. I can not find anything to unbrick. Tried everything, but you can run Libreelec and Coreelec thru USB port. By putting in a "burn image" in SD slot. Will fail to burn but after a few seconds will boot from USB. ( Does this mean boatloader OK?) I will not give up. I'm waiting for a UART chip I ordered to connect via serial. Don't know what I'll find.

Suggestions for un-bricking my AZW W95 (S905W) TV box

I've been booting LibreELEC/CoreELEC from SD card on my AZW (Beelink) W95 (S905W) box for years now. Yesterday I tried booting into the stock Android system (7.1 I think- I haven't done it for a while) but it wouldn't boot. Not being one to leave well enough alone I decided to try a reset using a toothpick in the reset hole by the power plug. It flashed the start screen for a split second and then stopped. After that it wouldn't boot off the CoreELEC SD card either.
I've tried a clean CoreELEC install, stock firmware, Amlogic Burn Card Maker, and TWRP on the SD card - none of them get me past a black screen.
I don't think the reset button is doing anything (I depress it while plugging in the power jack). In fact, I don't know if it ever worked. My box had previously always booted off a SD card if it was inserted in the slot without having to do anything special.
My box isn't completely dead but comatose. The signs of life are:
1) The blue LED comes on when I plug in the power cord.
2) After about 20 minutes or so the blue LED will go off. If I press the power button on the remote it comes back on.
3) My router sees it on my network as active. But I get connection refused when I try access it using Windows File Explorer or try to SSH into it using Putty.
4) When I insert a SD card into the slot it writes Andriod and LOST.DIR folders to it.
I haven't tried the Amlogic USB Burning Tool yet because I don't have an USB 2.0 Type A male to male cable - but I've ordered one. My concern is I won't be able to put it in reset mode since I'm not sure the reset button does anything (but I can feel it click).
Is there anything else I should try while I'm waiting for my cable to arrive?
Any recommendations on how I should proceed once my cable arrives?
Thanks

Hi, your device seems to be in a strange state currently, only thing i can reccomend is trying a few firmwares to see what works for you, you should be able to flash most s905w based roms, if your device cant be detected by USB burn tool you might need to use ask Rom Mode" to force your box to be detected by burn tool, this makes it almost impossible to brick a box
Thanks for the suggestions, I'm a complete newbie at this.
Is the Ask ROM Mode an option in USB Burning Tool?
I have an OEM W95 firmware update file (in both .img and and an OTA in .zip format) but they may be older than what is currently on the box. I also found a TWRP file for the S905W. But I don't know how to use any of these.
I downloaded the AMLogic Tools 6.0.0 and tried the AMLogic Flash Tool since it seems to work through the Ethernet port. I assumed this because you access the box via an IP address but I really don't know. I watched the video but couldn't find any detailed instructions on how to use it.
When I pressed the Connect button it said it connected and I had the green Connected display (I was connecting through my LAN - I don't know if I should connect directly with an ethernet cable). I loaded my .img file and said Flash. It says it is flashing and a second or so later it says SUCCESS! However the box still doesn't boot. I tried both Boot and Recovery (I don't know which option I should choose). I think that the SUCCESS! message is incorrect since I get the message even if I press the Flash button without the box connected. However, I can't connect to the box without the ethernet cable connected so the connected message seems correct.
Am I using the AMLogic Flash Tool correctly?
I was thinking about trying the S905W atvExperience ROM but thought I'd wait until I got my USB cable before before doing something more drastic.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks
OK, so my male to male USB cable arrived and I managed to get my box un-bricked using AMLogic USB Burning tool with a factory .img file. It took several tries. I kept getting errors when it tried to erase the bootloader or would get to 7%, progress would stop for about a minute, and then Burning Tool would close.
I finally got it to proceed all the way by holding in the reset button, plugging in the USB cable (no power cable), and keeping the reset button pushed the whole time (I don't know if this was just a coincidence). Also, I hadn't closed Burning Tool after the previous error erasing the bootloader. I'm posting all this in case someone else has a similar problem.
After that, it still wouldn't boot of the CoreELEC SD card with the reset button pushed down. It would go straight into the Android OS. I got it to boot into CoreELEC by installing the Reboot to LibreELEC app. Now it always restarts in CoreELEC the way it used to when the SD card is left in. I think this is how I got LibreELEC working years ago.
So, now I'm contemplating installing atvXperience but I have a couple of questions:
What would be the best way to install atvXperience without being able to the reset button to put the box into recovery mode?
What would be the best way to prepare for not being able to use the reset button to put the box into recovery mode if something were to go wrong during flashing?
Thanks for any help.

What would be the best way to prepare for not being able to use the reset button to put the box into recovery mode if something were to go wrong during flashing?
Thanks for any help.
Another follow up post for anyone with the same problem. I did some searching and found out I'm not the only one with a box that the reset button doesn't work. A work around for them was to connect the male to male USB cable, load the image into Burning Tool, press Start, and then plug in the power supply. The image file would then start flashing.
However, my box would start booting as soon as I connected the USB cable (didn't need the power supply). So I loaded the image into Burning Tool, pressed Start, and then connected the USB cable. This appears to be the work around for my box (I probably did this when I got my box to recover the first time - holding the reset button was probably irrelevant).
This procedure works for the stock firmware but when I try to flash the atvXperience image file the box hangs at 7%. So I still need some help there.
Also, is there a ATV ROM better suited for my S905W box (2/16 GB)?
W95 is really ****ing box whenever you feel you get off from the current problem will be into next one.
I have installed atvx Rom but afterthat when I tried adian rom my device bricked.
Without Ubt flashing it's connect but as I start flash it's sound unknown device and give flash error
