My retailer gave me the instructions below to reflash the stock firmware on my MXQ Pro 4K .
1).Open the zip file and copy the files to your SD card then insert the SD card into the TV Box
2).Plug HDMI cable then use a small stick press the upgrade button (which is in the AV port) and hold on.
3).Connect your device to the power supply.
4).When you see is upgrading then let your hands go.
Hello,
I have the version PRO+ and I have not reset button,
what if the box does not turn on?
Did you buy it online?
I bought mine through Aliexpress. I emailed the seller and asked where I could find the firmware because I'd deleted too many system apps and was having a lot of problems. She sent me a link to her Google Drive and the instructions posted above. The button in the bottom of the AV port amazed me. Try emailing your seller, include the words please and thank you a lot and see what happens.
yes i buy on GearBest, thank god they repay me without turning the box,
but the box I always at home and it's a shame for such a configuration to remain in the closet.
So the box lights up but nothing happens
is that it is possible to weld the reset boutton?
there's plenty of guides out there and YouTube videos
try here hxxp://blog.geekbuying.com/index.php/2016/03/21/mxq-4k-rk3229-smart-tv-box-firmware-update-2/#comment-2582465063
you will need a male to male USB cable to do this way
and as above use a tooth pick pushed into the av hole to get your device into flash mode as per guide
Google "mxq update YouTube"
to find video guides how to do this
latest firmware here

when I plug in my box via the mal usb to mal, the LED lights but on my computer peripheral manager detects nothing
you may need help of an extra hand or two to get your box into flash mode you need to unplug the power cable hold a tooth pick pushed down into the av hole (there's a hidden button in the bottom of that av hole) and then plug the power cable back into the box still holding the tooth pick in place then plug in the usb cable into the box make sure you use the rear usb port next to the HDMI port this should then allow flash mode if your still having trouble install the usb drivers first then try the flash mode setup /connection again

mxq pro 4k rk3229 android box
Does anyone know how to root the MxQ Pro 4k rk3229 android box? can some people please tell me how to do it! thank you! links to videos and firmwares would be great! thanks
What does that mean? My boxes say that I have that exact firmware. MXQ Pro 4K, Android v6.0.1. I have bricked boxes and want to try to flash the original firmware. I can't go back to the seller. Does someone have the firmware and could pass it along. It would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
hello guys please help me i want to flash firmware in my amlogic s905x smartbox there is no port to connect usb cable to flash only 2 usb port for connecting mouse pendrive please help me.

I have mxq pro 4k 64 bit,
I have downloaded a app from the paly store and then it crashed. Then I restarted it and now it's just the picture from the home screen and there are no apps. I watched some videos on YouTube how to restated but there is no restart button in the AV spot.How do I restarted now? Please help me!
In case anyone is still interested, I successfully flashed mine. It was a matter of finding the correct system. I can look back to find the files if anyone is interested but I do know it was a pain to finally get it working. Regards to reset button, check in the av port. There should be a button you can push with a toothpick or paperclip. Good luck guys.

So it's Android Tv time. :highfive:
It's a frankenfirmware, so there is not a clear base, i adapted it to X96 Max and GT1 Mini devices but it shoud run on many other device based on U211 motherboard so S905X2.
Probably if it's not clearly meant for your device you'll have to change the remote config file in vendor/etc., and you'll get some lack on functionality on led or accessory devices, you have just to test it, but be careful:
WARNING:
I'm not responsible and nor the forum that hosts my ROM is, of any damage or malfunction caused on your device, during the flash or the use of my ROM.
You'll take the responsibility of what you do.
My Roms cannot brick your device, but you can flashing it improperly. I'm not a chinese box help center i hope you'll understand what i mean
Apks included:
Opengapps Atv
App Drawer from LineageOs
Totalcommander
Magiskmanager
Aptoide ATV
Netflix
Kodi
VLC
AmazonPrime Video for atv though it doesn't work on level 3 devices
Then you know me is optimized, tweaked and tested, i personnaly use these firmwares.
Known Bugs:
- X96 Max 2/16: Youtube native app gives greenish video, it's a core problem of this device i hope manufacturer will solve this in short.
This is not a real bug but a lack of these low cost devices:
Amazon Prime doesn't start cause lacking of Level 1 Widevine certification.
Flash it with Amlogic Usb Burning Tools 2.1.6.8: load the fw, then, after the file check is completed click start, plug the usb male to male cable in the blu usb (3.0) and wait for completion.
XTMOD Android TV 4 Changelog:
- Updated many Android Tv apps;
- Updated Magisk root; (reboot once to activate it)
- Standard Topbar and Navbar are present but not visible swipe up swipe down (some users asked me for that);
- as the previous version double click on home button brings up recent app;
- Fixed some wrong fix :silly:;
- Fixed Ethernet Bug on X96 Max 3/4 Gb the 2gb has no bug;
- Probably fixed S-Pdif Bug;
- Many things i forgot to note in the process.
- it's pratically a whole new release, so some new bug it's possible
- on X96 Max 2Gb device fixed yt Video Bug on streaming and Wifi Bug.
Download Links:
X96 Max 4/32 & 4/64 V 4.0
X96 Max 2/16 V 4
Beelink GT1 Mini XTMOD ATV V.4.0
So it's ATV Android 9 time.
For a couple of week i'll be very busy in RL, so XTM_X96M4G_ATV9_V1_0 here it is. It's for X96Max 4Gb based on V311P firmware so flash according with your device. Then after a couple of week i'll release the same rom for X96Max 2G and X96Max V311R.
Enjoy
NOTE:
If you woul like to report bug, issue ot whatever, write clearly which device and do not ask for things that are not included in actual Amlogic sources, i can do something but i cannot create gold without lead
Enjoy! :good:

Flashing was correct. Rom loaded properly, yet during configuration I am not able to go to pairing mod by pressing Back and Home buttons of my remote for 6, 7, 8 or whatever seconds I wait. I tried different buttons configurations with same luck. I am able to escape from this screen to go trough google configuration and after introductions screens system is preparing my home screen and at the end returning to pairing mod screen when I should press those buttons I am stacked. My device is x96 max 4/64. Help :laugh:

You don't need to pair IR remote, the initial setup it's for other kind of remote, just press back then approve also google location services, probably it's disabled by you, normal behaviour in this case.

OK. That is probably it Yet, could you do something about those location services to be controlled by the user/admin not by the system? Just not to be mandatory to use this ROM. I just do not like something is not fully control by me :silly: Is Selinux in permissive mod in here as same as in normal XTMOD? What about other tweaks and tricks? Will you be preparing some changelog for it? Thank you Xanny, it looks very promising. I will test it with pleasure.

It's the official google setup, i can just try to avoid wrong user choice pre modding user data, they want you to approve locations so they will not reccommend you movies for the wrong region.
Yes the fw has permissive mode and is magisk rooted.

i tested every firmwares and i know they work properly. So something happened during flash if you own a X96Max 2/16 you should have downloaded this firmware: XTM_X96_2_16_ATV_1_0 .img
If the firmware is correct we have to check:
Amlogic burning tool 2.1.6.8
and the parameters used during flash:
leave them as the program propose without unthicking anything, then click start and connect your device.
If nothing helps honestly dunno cause the fw is working right now on my device

Hmm, it's strange that you have no signal, something happened, but it can not just happen flashing roms or my devices would have died many times. : D: D
[Update]
Solved the issue
1. Go to this link 4pda . ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=399304&st=600#Spoil-55136455-3
(Of course without spaces)
Or just search on google for "4pda forum" then in the forum search for mdz 22 ab
2. You will find a tread with someone holding a mi box in hand. Enter and read the instructions, translate it because it is in russian.
3. Download usb tool and rom
4. Open box back plastic cover, inside you will see a metal cover. Remove it carefully with a tweezer. Careful not to scratch the board.
5. Install usb tool with drivers, unzip rom. Open usb tool, load rom, insert usb male in box and the other male in pc.
6. This is the tricky part. Click start, shortcircut with the tweezers the test point and the metal frame and PLUG IT
7.If done correctly it should recognize and start download.
8. If it gives an error, repeat, uninstall usb drivers, reinstall, retry. Mine worked after 20 attempts. You need patience.
THANK YOU VLADIMIR UHLIR FOR THE INSTRUCTIONS!
Hello, sometime ago I did a pretty stupid thing with an usb stick and wrote on my mdz-22-ab firmware for mdz-19... something..
Long story short is bricked.. only a red light in the back of the box, no signal to hdmi.. nothing else
Can you, please, be so kind and tell me if it is any way to unbrick it?
Thank you so much for your patience!
It seems not a lot of people made stupid mistakes like me!

Hi, I had same problem like you. I fixed it using USB Burning Tool and flash image file from: 4pda forum (I'm not allowed to post link to external site)
You can find here mdz-22-ab image as well as instructions how to get your Mibox to "worldcup mode" (you have to disassemble device first), than you will be able to flash that image and bring your bricked Mibox back to the life. URL link for USB burning tool 2.1.7.3 is not valid, so I used version 2.1.7.0 which I found somewhere.
Hope it will help...
Thank you! You saved my device!

dear friend can i find it somewhere to img not to zip file to burn it with Amlogic_USB_Burning_Tool? thank you anyway
FOR MECOOL M8S PLUS DVB T2/T
use this image file M8S_PLUS_S2_S905X2-V2.20200103_AndroidPC.zip with Amlogic_USB_Burning_Tool_v3.1.0. when you unzip it, you'll see an .img file. this ROM is for satellite. don't worry about it.The only reason you're going to use it is to be able to downgrade the firmware. follow the instructions on how to use the amlogic usb tool. when it's over, turn on the device and you're going to see the right software without a TV because it's a satellite. make a factory reset.put on a USB this software: M8S_PLUS-ota-V2.20200714.101012.zip. and upgrade through the device it will be returned to the original software. you'll need a toothpick, a usb male to male cable, and a pc. it is important that the amlogic_USB_Burning Tool detects your device. follow the instructions on the lower right side of the program. uninstall all previous versions of amlogic usb burning tool. good luck

hi
in google live tv not fuction Cccam?
Hey guys, I have installed this but my WiFi is not working and Live Tv can't find any channels?? Any idea or some help, please???
And does anybody have any newer firmware than V2.-original but that works 100%. I see that this BETA is V9, so some version like V7 or V8. I have problem with DTV app it's stutter and frezze so I figure that newer firmware may resolve this issue.

I have attached 3 files which are for windows 10 x64. It's absolutely certain that they work perfectly. I also wrote that you need a USB cable and a toothpick. On the back of the M8S Plus there's a hole that says AV. You have to push the toothpick in, until you hear a click. This is the reset Button. Practice until you're familiar with it. Go to the control panel of the pc and remove any drivers have installed. Then re-install what I've attached. when the installation is finished you should have in the control panel these two.

Run Aml_Burn_Tool, and keep it open
Connect one end of the usb to the pc.
Put the toothpick in the AV hole and as soon as you hear click hold it down. Connect the other end of the usb to the M8s plus. Do not connect the power supply. Do not release the toothpick until Aml_Burn_Tool recognizes M8s plus. Follow the instructions of program.

I did it, problem was in using USB 3.0 ports, when i switched to USB 2.0 both on PC and M8S it worked perfectly. But I still have a problem with DTV app, when I watch Tv it's stutter and frezze. Is there an option to install some other app. That Live Tv on new firmware was working OK but everything else was not OK.

Reset M8S
Hi.
Yesterday I've recived my ordered Vontar. I was not a fan of the system so i changed it via sd card. I've done it a couple of times with different ones but it something strange happened. Now, when i turn on this device with a 'reset' button and a sd card in it, it won't show 'updating' screen. In fact, I can't even go to 'apply update from ext' - the 7z file won't show under this option. But, I can install TWRP from Slimbox therad and wipe all. Also i tried to 'install' img file via TWRP but in the end it show 'System not installed'. I checked all the comments in this section but i found no answers. I think that's the only place for me to receive help because i was searching the web for 5 hours and now i'm out of ideas. I'm using custom roms on my phone since 2015 but this tv boxes are new to me.
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

This usually indicate that either the bootloader is not compatible, The DTB dosnt have the right gpio pins assigned to the reset button making it non functional among other reasons, i Strongly advise against using an SD card to try new firmwares as you can end up in a situation like this where your box is semi broken with no way to get out of it, you should buy/obtain a USB A Male to USB A Male Cable & Use USB Burning Tool As This Is How to Recover From a Bad Flash & Not 100% Compatible Firmwares and even recover a "Bricked Box" that looks like it wont even power on (no LED or output to TV), Been Using This Method For Years And Havent Bricked A Box Beyond Repair Yet

Thanks for an advice. Yesterday i was very scared because of this situation. I thought that i wasted about 50$ but now i'm more chilled. Somewhere i've read that Vontar is basically the same as for example as HK1 but installing it's OS was not a great idea (I've done similar things on my Huawei G620s with the similar phone OS). I will try the USB method and reply the result. My ordered cable will be in a few days. Again, thanks for a reply. This thread could be useful if someone will have the same problem like me.

Like You said. Two minutes and Vontar is running a new OS without any problems. My SD card will come back to my car as a navigation. Thank You.
Hi.
I tried flashing a rom on a H96 Pro Plus 3+32GB box with an Amlogic S912, chip.
First couple of times when i tried flashing, it went up to 3-4% and gave out an error. Then i unchecked the erase flash and erase bootloader options and it went to 8% and then gave out an error once again.
After a couple of tries with the erase bootloader and erase flash options. It succeded flashing. But when i plugged in the box. There was no picture, there was just a blue light on the box.
The computer won't recognize the box after that, i've tried putting a rom on a SDcard, i've tried shorting some pins, not sure if they were the correct ones, but no luck. There is power going to the box, the blue light is on, but it won't turn on or display any signal.
Please help!
Thanks in advance!

Hi.
Trust me i've searched for a week without any success. Unfortunately the video didn't help me since my problem currently is that the box is getting power but there is no hdmi signal, nor the box is getting recognized by the pc after flashing the rom.
Thanks for trying to help.
then the only chance you have is the short method

Hi
I tried shorting pins, like in the tutorial but nothing happened. Not getting recognized still.
Hi
Ok, so i've fixed the tv box and it turns out i was doing something wrong. I didn't have power plugging it in. I was relying on the usb connection to give enough power to the box. I've done this to get back the box. Please if you don't know what you are doing, get someone that really knows. I'm not responsible for any damage that may happen. This is just what i've done to recover the box.
1. Hold the reset button on the box
2. Plug in USB in the pc and in the box
3. Wait 2 seconds and then plug in power.
4. Hold the 5th and 6th pin (i think). Please watch the video andmake sure that you know what you are doing, since 1 bad move could render the box totally unusable. Thanks. you should hold the pins for a couple of seconds and it should pop up
Also i wasn't able to install Aidenrom (while flashing it gives out an error) or Atvexperience (it cant get imported by usb burning tool)
I reinstalled the default rom. And i was using USB Burning Tool V 2.0.8
Thanks for your help.
