Hello,
I have been banging my head for the last few days trying to fix this T95Z Plus box. I do not think it's the Sunvell version, as there is no markings anywhere showing so. It is a 3+32GB version, I have taken the casing off to check the board (which is red), and says "MAL_t95zplus_168p_1103_v1.0" - I also see AP6255. I will upload a few photos shortly. I have tried over 20 different Firmwares, all fail at 2% with the code "Romcode/Initialize DDR/Read Initialize status/" error. I have tried different cables, different USB ports (a s905x box flashed earlier, same cable, same software just fine).I have to use the short pin method for the box to be detected, and start the actual flash, which fails at 2% every time, no matter what FW, ROM, cable, port etc.
I would like to know what kind of RAM this board has, what the stock firmware would be, and if there are any custom ROMS (aidans rom, atvxperience, etc) that I could use, without issue. If you could help, would be great (please try to send me links to the actual file that would be compatible) as I have tried literally, 20 different firmwares/roms, all to which fail flashing.
Thank you!
Hi, I have a similar one (s912_T95ZPLUS_221P) 3g/32. come with LPDDR3 memories.
I'm currently using aida´s rom https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=333135

Hi fellow xda'rs,
I recently bought a Android TV Stick from Geek(app) from china.
I thought I had found a bargain as its specs were:-
2GB RAM
Quad Core CPU
16GB Storage
I managed to snap this up for £24 which I thought was a bargain but when I got the device delivered and was using it I thought it was a little on the slow side so I began to think it was a clone as its default OS theme was not the same as the usual CX919's aswell.
So I wanted to flash the device with a new ROM specifically the Finless 1.6b ROM.
So after following the instructions to installing the ROM using the software provided with the ROM download I managed to install the drivers and get the software to recognize the device. I then wiped the NAND and attempted to install the ROM but it failed .
Now the device does not boot at all and is not recognized by the PC. Windows just states the device is not recognized and has malfunctioned
So I cannot flash any other or what I believer I have found to be the original ROM for the clone device.
The board states its a GXT_D16_LP_V1.8 150310
I have seen that there are tutorials on putting the device into Mask Flash mode by shorting pins but as this is for the genuine CX919 my board is totally different and does not have the pins available to short I think.
In short could anyone help me to put this device into Mask Flash mode and tell me what id need to do and what pins to short please?
I have attached a couple of pictures of the device and board.

problem solved! :d
i found the mask flash mode pins to short by trial and error and luckily enough after 1 hour i solved it and got the pc to flash it back to its original rom. If anyone has the same device or issues and would like to know how to solve this i will be happy to help
I would be interested. I have a very similar clone (was supposed to be mk809iv). I have the same board although possibly different chipset.
I haven't bricked it (yet) but will probably do so if I can't find a way to root it. I think it may have come pre-rooted as super su was preinstalled but it has never worked (possibly because the app updated but not the binary?). I have since tried to update the binary and killed the root access completely.
Questions:
Is the ROM you used pre-rooted or rootable (if you've tried)?
Which pins need shorting? I have a button on the side that may be doing the same thing.
OT. How do I upload images or can I not as a new member?
Thanks in advance
any guide? i have the same device or where to download rom?
If your still looking, i might be able to help with a rom, root, and guide.
Thank you but managed to get root the same day you posted. I may still give it a go when my new tv box turns up though if you dont mind posting the info?
For anyone else interested in how I gained root:
1. Search for, download and install kingroot 4.6.5 (this is the version I used, only the latest version is available from official site and cannot be sure next steps will work with it)
2. Run kingroot and follow steps to gain root (dongle may reboot)
3. BUY super sume from play store.
4. Run super sume and follow steps to replace kingroot with super su.

Hello,
Having some problems with this stick .Messed up trying to flash a non rooted rom and now I only get a blue icon in rkbatch tool ( after short pin 5-6 ) and nothing happens. Download boot fail errors for a year...
Can someone help me please?
Is it the same model? What version of rkflash tool are you using. And what version are you trying to flash. In my case I didn't need to short any pins.

I've used several batchtools from 1.5 ( doesn't see my device at all ) to 1.8, different roms ( neomod, finless, stock cx919 roms )hoping one would give me something. All different bootloaders 1.24, 2.08, 2.13,...
I'm going to check mine out. It's been a minute since I used it. But I got the rock chip tool and the img file. I'll zip it up and pm you the link asap.

Hello, I have this tv box (MXQ Pro+ S905) 2GB RAM / 16GB ROM
The stock firmware is horrible, can you help me to upgrade it?
Do you have some firmware?
I tried to flash some firmware, but i think they was incompatible, i got only errors
Originally bought two identical MXpro Android TV Boxes. Since one of them freezes at startup on Android logo (won't enter launcher). My question: is there any way to copy certain files & folders directly from the other identical box to get it to boot up correctly once again? *issue is that I have no use of any computer at the moment. Either this method or any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! -Dave.D.

If you have s905X with blue board than try this one :
https://mega.nz/#!jQ8HWIoQ!ubMpueVYGPA_PtE9snE1buZXjLUeFJP-mOd6vX91wkw
what you need to do is procure the factory image. i may be wrong but there isn't a S905 with 2 gb ram and 16gb nand. the first ones were S905x (excluding capabilities of the S912). there are plenty of alternative roms available including linux based. search around and you will find your firmware. you can even contact the seller you bought it from including amazon and ebay. check chinagadgetreviews.com also. alot can be found there. theres other forums too. once you find your correct firmware, reflash it and see if that resolves your issues. if not. boot twrp on the other one and make a full backup. take this backup, and move it to an area on your sd where you can find it then restore it on the buggy box. make sure you keep a backup copy of everything that works, especially if you cannot find the original. if you look really really hard, you may even find some fully compatible generic images that some developers are kind enough to maintain. you may need to make friends with a ruski to get it tough. thats the best hint im willing to give without provoking any admins or mods (sorry guys if i broke any rules).
im going back under my rock now.
oh and another tip, not all devices are the same. even if they say the same brand. there are differences in wifi chips. you should be able to figure this out. usually theres some model or sticker on the bottom or on the box it came in

ahh, you may need to figure out "Mask Rom Mode" to force your device to be detected by burn tool, assuming you have already tried different usb port on pc, reinstalling burn tool & Also tryed adding power at same time connecting the usb cable
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.
Hi All,

Thank you @Eliminater74 for providing your help, unfortunately my device is X2 & board is different that your pic. Pls check my box pics & suggest pin location.
can anyone help me on this??
Hi Amit @amitsan,
I have the Hk1 Play 4/64GB Box but the board is almost the same as yours. I too bricked my box and was searching online for help for a long time but finally found the Pins by trial and error. Attaching the image with location for support.
Please do note that it doesn't work immediately. You'll need to short it like 10 20 times and then it'll show up in USB Burning Tool. Use a tweezer instead of a flat head screwdriver as you'll need to touch both the points simultaneously. Try to touch them from different locations and angles, it'll work for sure as I'm still using this method and points to flash and test new ROMs.
You'll need to press the reset button inside of AV port and insert the USB cable along with shorting the Pins all at once. It's a ninja task but it's doable. Try again and again, at first it'll seem it's not working but your PC will surely detect the box and you can then flash any firmware you want.
If you want the full official Hk1 Play firmware, below is the link. I guess it should work as it looks to be the same same box with different branding.
You can also search on Google for Minixfreak Spartan OS ROM for H96 Max X2

Thank you @markshane for you kind support.
I fixed my device by amlogic burn card maker trick. That's quick & easy to do.
But thank you for helping me & others in showing the pins location.
Hi @amitsan how did you flash using card maker? Could you please give instructions as I tried before but wasn't able to succeed. Will have use as doesn't require opening the box and playing with the pins.

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
Hi all,
Model : Wechip V8
Cpu : Amlogic S905W
Ram : 2GB Rom : 16GB
They have installed a different version on this device. The remote does not control, does not find wifi, does not connect to ethernet. I couldn't find original software. I found some stuff but I couldn't install it.
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.
