I was looking for hours and you made it clear how can i connect it and get it recognized by usb. Thank you!
Normally you would see a hardware hacker ripping one of these things open, looking for a uart, getting a serial terminal hooked up, reverse engineering the whole box then cross-compiling a Linux system for it. This old man simplified the process for himself without having any idea what he avoided. You sir found a USB port that also serves as a debugger and just used that to flash your firmware images.
Blessings Ron I tinker but not done a box yet the buzz it gives is Price less👍👏
do you have a stroke?
Great thanks for making it so simple
Glad it helped.
!!Congratulations!!
You have applied the KISS method (keep it simple and stupid).
I have seen many complex tutorials and in the end they have not served me at all.
Thanks for your contribution!
Thank you for the kind comment.......... Stay safe.
Thank you....this video is very helpful
Thank you, glad it helped.
Thank you very much i was struggling to do that
Thanks, You did a grat job helped me a lot.
Thank, You.
Thank you for the quick instructions, I can confirm that it works on YOKA tb kb2 pro Amlogic S912 3gbram and 32gbrom version as well:) Bluetooth is working like a charm:)
Glad those instructions helped.....
Great video. Do you know of a image to install Open Media Vault or Xpenonolgy for these boxes? Or a way it could be accomplished? Possibly make a video for it?
I am not sure about OMV or Xpenonolgy for these boxes, but you may find some information about them on the Armbian site. OMV comes pre-installed on my Zido X9S.
Firmware upgrade to 8.0 android tv box
Yes, I already installed Oreo (8.0) on this box.

Hi I am not able to do factory reset as the volume button is not behaving as expected.
Pressing any key just reboots the system.
What to do??
Hi Ronnie is it possible to run the O/S linux or windows alongside the integral android system
i see that on say ebay they offer a dual system box for sale they are all priced at over £100? $130?
You can run Android on the box, and either LibreELEC or Linux from a microSD card and dual boot that way. No Windows though. The beta version of LibreELEC 9, does give you Netflix in 720P with Dolby Digital Plus.
Will this work on any Android Tv Box ???
Hello
I have M8S amlogic s812 box, it diesnt send the video signal to the tv. I tried with amlogic burning tool but cannot connect to pc (i have done flashing fw already so that is not an issue) and I also tried flashing firmware via sd card but cannot enter recovery mode, even waiting 60 seconds didnt help.
Is there a solution for fixing my box ?
Kind regards,
Mensur
Thank you sir.
i download the 7.1 for h96 plus both files say currupt when i try
can i do the same with yupp scope?please i want to change its os to a better android version and get my favourite apps installed on it
Will this work with some of the ARM based Linux distros?
Richard Holbert yes, if it is an Amlogic device.
Also if you don't have the USB to USB is it possible to use the SD card as a secondary option just in case you don't want to make one
Yes, using the SD card method may work.....Magendanz shows the SD card method on all of his mods...... so take a look at that download for the bootcard maker......

Is there any flash for TeleBox HD601P?

Interesting topic , had an old android box 4.4.2 Amlogic s802 but it kinda would only let me update to 4.4.2 . Due to that is how it was made .would this amlogic method of sorts ,be usable to put more updated android version or would I be limited.
Thanks
I doubt if there's an updated version of Android for your box.
Ronnie Bailey : I suspected that . iOnly found 1 thread of a person who put mx3 s802 firmware
On it but it was very complicated to say the least
I'd like to install the "Android TV" OS on my Sammix r95 TV box but I'm not sure if it is compatible with the BX905X_V1.0 motherboard. It has the Amlogic s905x chipset but despite my best research efforts I cannot find an image that will work on it (the specific brand and board). Do you know where I can find an image that supports wifi, a remote control, bluetooth, etc. that will work? If not, can you point me in the right direction? Thanks!
I am not sure about an Android TV rom for your box you will have to search on Freaktab. However, Gearbest just posted a coupon to get the Mecool M8S Pro L with Bluetooth Voice remote for $69.69 USD. I have one and it is awesome, it has the Android TV OS out of the box.
freaktab.com/forum/advertisers-and-vendor-support-area/gearbest-com/714603-mecool-m8s-pro-l-smart-bluetooth-voice-control-tv-box-3-32g-gearbest-69-99
So, I installed Android TV OS on my Sammix box and after what seemed a very long and panicky boot process the home screen appeared. I am right now testing things out on it to be sure it works properly. So far, so good! Thank you so much for this tutorial. Keep up the great work!
That is excellent, which firmware did you use???
You offered more detailed information about how to get the Burning sd tool.
but I couldn't download it with out turning of my antivirus protection.
It is safe, maybe a false identification from your antivirus app.
you didnt use an SD card? were you able to install the firmware just by connecting the box to your computer with a USB cable?
With the burning tool, you do not need to use an SD card... The firmware transfers from your computer to your device via the USB cable.
It's not a virus some programs use things which are commonly found in viruses (like cracked games will have programs meant to bypass the copyright/anti-cheat (in some cases) protection. However these types of programs can be used to bypass anti-viruses and it most likely noticed that and flagged it as malicious. If you ever download a program and your not sure go to Virustotal and upload the program something like 68? anti-virus engines including all of the most widely known and used AV's. If the program is malicious the site will most certainly tell you but you can't be certain it's not a false positive either (unless a large group of engines detect it).
Generally if Kaspersky, Bitdefender, Norton, Emisoft feel it's safe than it is
They also use a lot of machine learning/artificial detection engines as well which offer a lot. I can't speak for all of them but I do know Sopho's Machine Learning engine has get to miss a threat in all of it's testing, it has false flagged a few times but it's not missed a single one even malware written on the spot (zero day) to test it for laughs. I guess my point here is that it's not malware and if you feel you have a false positive than submit the file to VirusTotal for a near real time (minus the min or so it takes for all them to scan it) answer.
-------------
Totally missed my point in all of this, this program is more effective some boxes will not let you write to internal memory via SD card so you must keep what ever SD card you used in the device. As long as that SD card is attached (in cases like this example) it will work fine and store changes on the SD card however if you remove that SC card it will revert back to a black post format slate. This program solves the problem and it's extremely useful in cases like this (where my first box had this issue).
its so simple and best!!! thank you so much
Thank you! :)
Sir, can i chamge my box version into ols version..
Thanks bro your so clever ✅
Thank you for the kind comment
How did you make a two-sided male usb cable. Can you provide the connection diagram?
See if u can order in amazon or aliexpress
Seach for usb a/a
get two old chargers or any usb cable that has data transfer capable. cut them open, and strip the wires back. twist the wires together so Red twists to red etc... and tape everything up.

Not sure
This is interesting. Yet I have been trying to change my software on the MyGica atv 1920. The memory does not want to load. Just stops the whole time. Any suggestions?
That was a fantastic box in it's day. You have to find a ROM that will run on your device, and I am not sure where to find one.
well done thank you bro.
my tv box is S-TX8 mini and the cpu is amlogic 4 core but i cant find the suitable rom for it
Does the software know what drive to install to? I’d hate to see it install on another drive by accident (E instead of F)
Yes, it pretty much knows which external drive to use, BUT, you should always verify.
Thank you sir
You are very welcome.
it wouldn't work because that Remix OS a95x that you installed is for S905X. So this method would work if I have the S905X version right?
Yes, it works on the Amlogic S905x.

Hello
I have V88 mini Scishion android box. Something happened to it, it's just stuck on screen and asking to flash from micro sd...
Where can I get fw for this box?
Thanks
Your box is a Rockchip SoC, so this firmware will not work with your device. Look on Freaktab, they may have a firmware for you.
Hi thanks for a great video. I can't seem to find the reset hole in my tv box. I also tried the av hole and no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Which device do you have?? Most of the boxes have a reset hole somewhere, but a few do not have one. There are other methods to swap firmware's also.
I think this answer comes quite late, but in your case usually it is hidden in side of the the AV port (just put the toothpick inside and you will know.
I have an old Megassi C96X android box, and I can not seem to find the firmware to install android tv, do you know where I can find the file to get it to successfully work. Any help would be appreciated
You may be able to find an answer for your device on Freaktab. Do a search on that website.

You can try AtvXperience V4 lastest rom for S905x chipset. I am currently using V2h for S912 chipset and it is working very good
If my box has Android 6.1 and rom is 7.1 or 8.1 android, can I install it like this?
If the ROM is made for your specific device, then YES..... If it is the wrong firmware, it won't install.
Hello Ronnie
I have a s912 amlogic Beelink GT1 Ultimate , wich version of ubuntu dou you recommend . It,s for kodi plex and ipvanish as a media playing , sorry for my english ( i come from the netherlands )
Start here on this link, and Bables150 can help you.

Thnx Ronnie (y)
which chip box is the best for stable flashing work and copability? Price and performance. Which you recommended to use please
That is a tough question...... It depends on what OS you want to use, Android, Linux or LibreELEC/CoreELEC. Right now, boxes based on the Amlogic SoC are the best boxes for modding.......
I have a lot of different boxes running different OS's. The most powerful box that is the most supported is the Odroid N2, but I do not have one. I have the Beelink GT King and King Pro, both of which are using the newest Amlogic S922X. There is a Linux and CoreELEC port for the King and King Pro.
@@clarkss12 thanks a lot! It just helped. Use for play store apps youtube and kodi no diffrent which system operation. Only was usefull like android bar menu but more stable than. I used two cheap rockchip tv sticks but both crashed during flash same behavior. It just not made for exchange operations. It just read what fabric gave. So i search no super high performance but exchangable.
What do you think bout rapsberry pi 3?
Would be fast enough for base 3d gaming and kodi??
Whould rp3 strong enogh to stram 1080p video with kodi no lags (any)??
Cost low and possibility huge!! Not crash during flash suppose.
Don't even know what libreelec is just heard word. :)

My power goes on but it cuts out?
I have a itv4A xt s905 inside of it, do you know if it would work at all? Sorry looking online and hard to find
That is a really old device, not sure you can find firmware for it.
Please let me know if this work on my probox2 air ?
Your box is an Amlogic S905, so this burning method will work, but you have to have the correct firmware.
How can I make it work with a Tivo stream 4k?? It doesn't really have a reset button like your box. :/
No, the Tivo stream has a locked bootloader, so it can not run another OS.
Random but did any else feel like it was Steve Austin talking 🤣🤣🤣

If you want to use your box as a media player, the best solution is to install LibreELEC onto your box. It runs from a microSD card and does NOT change your Android OS. Somewhere in my videos, you will find how to do this.

Hello, I have H96 Pro+.
You have made your own USB Male A-A Cord. Can you please guide, what are the cable connections you have used ?
Connecting same wires together ? Like Pin1 to Pin1, Pin2 to Pin2, Pin3 to Pin3 and Pin4 to Pin4.Or some other Configuration ?
Basically my PC doesnot detects the Box at all.
You are correct on how to make your own male to male cord. I found a couple of "heavy" USB cables and cut the ends off and stripped the colored wires. Then I twisted the colored wires together, black to black, etc as you said. Some of my spare USB cables have a very thin cable, I didn't use those cables.
Also, on one of my S905x boxes, my computer will not detect it being connected using the USB ports on my computer. I have to use my powered USB hub, and then it detects it. Most importantly, you HAVE to connect to the correct USB port on your box, it has to be the OTG port.
Can you use the usb port to install the OS
Yes.

Is that possible on M8S Plus Amlogic S905 2gb/16gb?
The procedure is the same for your box. You just have to get a firmware that matches your hardware.
No matter what I do, the box does not get recognized in Windows. I plug it in, Windows does the tone and it shows up in device manager as "Unknown Device" for a few seconds and then Windows immediately disconnects it. Please help.
If you get sound when you plug in your box then that is the biggest issue.
If that's the case then either the firmware you're trying to install is wrong or else you need to try a different burning tool.

No, the ROM has to match your box's hardware......
Ronnie Bailey hello, if the spects and hardware are the same on multiple boxes can the firmware work on either one?
It is possible, IF the eMMC is comparable. In all probability, the firmware will work on multiple boxes, but the WiFi and remote may not work.
If i use other model of firmware to install in my box, is it possible ?
That is a tough question to answer. You may get another firmware to work, but your Wi-Fi and ethernet and Bluetooth may not work. It could also brick your box.
