Hello, I wanted to flash a generic media box with Amlogic S912 chipset, and I was able to get TWRP installed, but unfortunately I forgot to make a backup of my official recovery. Now, I can't use the SDCard Burn tool or the USB Burning tool. If anyone could help me find a way to get the OG recovery back or flash the device using another method, that would be nice. Below I have listed some specs of the device:
Amlogic S912 CPU
2GB RAM/16GB Internal Storage
6.0.1 userdebug build rooted with Magisk (TWRP Installed)

Is your device not detected in burnning tool anymore, find NAND Chip Mask ROM Mode Short Location !?

Hi all,
I have a minix U1 that was wiped (no OS). TWRP is installed and I can boot to it (hold power for 6 seconds).
I am trying to install the stock Minix ROM FW013 (most recent) but when booting into TWRP the USB Burning Tool does not connect to the box. I have tried multiple version of the burning tool, currently have 2.0.8 installed.
Any idea how I can installed the stock IMG ROM?
Having a TWRP recovery installed does not always mean the recovery is working - are you certain it is the right version and that it works for your box?
And I fail to see what the recovery has to do with the burn tool - it should find the box if you use the correct connection and start procedure.
Plus - if the firmware is not for the burn tool but in fact to be used with the recovery then you should be able to flash it with TWRP directly.
I updated TWRP and ensured it was the right version for my unit
Connect procedure is open the burning tool>connect OTG cable>hold power button for 6 seconds from off state to enter TWRP
My laptop makes the USB connected nose but the burning tool doesn't display anything
Minix U1 fw install
Simple way is to start the usb Burn tool on your computer, load the FW image, then select start. Now ensure box is powered off, plug in usb cable to computer and box. Press and hold the power button and listen for the bling bing sound of the usb burn tool on windows, then release the power button, it will load the fw. Make sure you have no other usb dongles or scares in the device. Works for me every time.
Please refer to the manufacturer's official firmware guide to recover your device.

Can you tell me how did you installed twrp ?
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...

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)
Download

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

all i know is you have to use AML_USB_burn_tool, which I have no clue how to use. I actually found your post trying to figure out how to use it.
