Lots of times simply RESETTING your box back to FACTORY defaults will get you up and running again. When you do need up load Firmware, here are a few things to be careful of.
I know this is old but, I would not be looking if i did not have an old box. I would like to commend you on your ability to have told those of us that being smart and not doing stupid things is good in many cases. Thanks,
Yes, whenever the problem seem to move around it is usually the power supply. I had one with flickering video the other day, I tested the power supply and it was way off under load.
@@PeterC408 First thing i did was buy a 5A/ 5000 ma New supply. In 3 years never anymore power supply fail! Thank you for all your post! But the OEM power supply is a Fail/problem waiting to happen. Bet a lot of GOOD boxes are trashed over a bad wall supply. It's not always works or dead. I seen voltage swings and low MA output. If you add anything to the Box the supply is Maxed out. As with anything if you run at 90%+ of capacity it will not last long.
I wish I found this video before I bricked my box. I factory reset my device only for it to get stuck on the boot logo. Unknowingly I went and flashed a firmware to "fix" the issue. Great video - learnt a lot
I just did the same thing. 2 boxs stuck in loop. And i just moved in and wanted the 65 inch smart tv behind it will be getting put in my bedroom i guess.
Have a matricom 3 g box stuck on boot and a hvkla with supposedly 6 ram and this fancy rockchip 3133. It was the 1st to go. Lasted maybe 10 months. I think firestick is the way to go now
Great video sir! I just wanted to say It's far easier to utilize adb and fastboot commands via terminal in Linux or even cmd in windows to install updates. Adb sideload is drag and drop and most Android oems offer the updates that can be flashed through two commands
LOL. Think about it. how long would it take to explain ADB, what it is, where to get it, how to install it and how to use it. The explain Linux or Command line. Then say "easier" again. LOL
"i DON'T FEEL SO GOOD, MESS AROUND WITH MY SPINE" Hahaha that's so funny but it does make us understand.. just because it's not working how we wanted doesn't mean you can mess around changing everything love you videos..!!congrats
Thanks for the tips. I just tried to do a reset on a X99 Mini (stuck in splash screen) and it doesn't work - pressing reset does nothing - just a blank screen and this is a new box (only a couple o months old). Tried the same in my old box and it works - so, I know I'm doing it right. Is there any other trick to try to reset the X99 at hardware level? I'll open it for a look-see, but I suspect I got myself a new paper weight.
This video answered a few questions I had. I'm still looking for information on resetting a ZTE ZXV10 B760H. I haven't been able to find any button on the motheboard, but there are jumper pins. Don't know what to do.
Peter, This video of yours really saved the day for me! Following your instructions I managed to recover my son's android TV box. Thank you Sir! God Almighty bless you, man!
Peter Thank you, I tried updating my android box and bricked it. 2 minutes listening to your video I am up and running again, Not trying the update thing again
Hi Peter, I have two identical Android Box T95ZPlus and I've downloaded the TWRP image file for this model. When I boot in recovery mode with one of the boxes with the file on a SD card it brings me right into recovery mode where I can perform a BACKUP, RESTORE, WIPE, etc........ When I try to do this on the 2nd unit, it will not go into recovery mode at all, stops at the model's LOGO screen and just stays there. I remove the SD card with the Recovery.img file from this unit and now, holding the reset button and powering it up gets me to the Android Recovery mode but not the same as the first. This one brings me in to the Recovery where my choices are: Reboot System Now, Reboot to Bootloader, Apply Update from EXT, so on and so on. All I want to do is be able to do a backup of this second unit and restore it to the first T95ZPlus. It seems with the 2nd unit, I presently can't find a way to create a back-up of it. THANKS in advance for your help or anyone else that can shed some light on this.
I do not know of such a release nor do I expect one. Most Android boxes are designed for a particular OS release and never intend on upgrading... You get what you get. Nvidia and Amazon are a bit different... they released a marketplace where they hope to sell you things... like movies, games and channels. For that reason, they keep updating the OS to control the user experience and make their support lives easier. H96Pro+ is only hoping to sell you a new box when you want to get one... they have no incentive to keep you up to date.
Great video! Im curious,have you heard of sny firmware update for the h96 pro+? Was agreat box in its time, but havent found any official good update since late 2017!
Thank you Peter, this is a fantastic video... I have one question, although I was able to enter recovery mode the system will not allow me to push factory reset when pressing the enter button. What can I do?
my box stuck on the logo. resting it came up with (fail to mount cache I/o error) and doesn't reboot. now I have another working box (twin the broken one) can I download the firmware to an sd card from the working one and install it to the broken one?
I followed your solid instructions. Once reboot done after factory reset, now in never ending loop that cannot be interrupted by mouse, keyboard or remote. Any suggestions please?

Hi Peter,I have a H96 Max ulta hd box,I can not get the boot logo off the box,have tried to Reset.So I can not get the anything on my tv to try and reset.Basically I can't get to the state bit.Do you have a video where I can try and reset it by reseting the box with firmware.Thanks.

As we went from Android Jellybean (4.4) to KitKat(5.0) the requirements changed a lot. Jellybean was popular and long lived. When KitKat came out many of the boxes were left behind. I would just get an upgraded box, an Android TV and here's why ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_ONZkYWyhqM.html
Hey I have a buzz xpl3000 I did a hard rest now my server setting keep saying" please contact your provider to register this device" my subscription is active and my Mac address is the same. When I try to connect I get that same message. I even added a new server and it's the same thing
I have an issue with a MXQ PRO 4K box. I have the exact firmware that is meant for the chip, i burn it with an IMG maker to an SD card ... But the device never reads anything. Always gives a failed to load error when I click on Update from SD CARD..?
Alright, I know this isn't exactly an Android box, but it probably functions exactly the same. One of my phones is full of trojans (my brother was pretty dumb) and factory resets aren't enough to erase them because the system files got infected. Is reinstalling its firmware and switching to stock Android a good idea?
Hi, good day i have a s10 mini box, its wifi auto turn off, and when i try to restart it only stay in restart logo and didnt turn off at all, is it a software or hardware problem? Thnak you

Hi Peter, i just bought H96 plus pro S912 Amlogic 3/16gb. What happened is that i only installed the superuser snd when the box asked me to reboot i did snd after that it stuck in logo. I tried the wipe data and clear cache but wont help. I also tried the same firmware on SD but it wont read the file. The file is .img but aml is on the front. Much appreciate if you can help! Best regards
Hi Peter, do you have a link to a power supply that works with Tanix boxes? I have the first one you reviewed with Alice, and I really like it alot, but the power supply no longer works. Thanks
It is best just to look at the plug, voltage and current and get a match for that. You need to match the plug (fits) and polarity (99% center positive) and the voltage. The current (or amperage) can be over but needs to be enough. Usually for these boxes we are looking at 5V, 2A but 2.5A is fine ... it will only consume the current it needs. In the old days, we could go to RadioShack, but that is gone now. The plugs (usually barrel plugs) are measured in millimeters (usually between 2mm and 3.5mm). Try a new power supply but here is a reason you may just want to get an AndroidTV box ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_ONZkYWyhqM.html
In TV box to go to android recovery we have to press and hold rest button and insert power cable to TV box .....after 10 counts release reset button? We will get the recovery options on screen? Correct?

X96 Max I found the reset button in A/V port. Unplugged the power and pushed the rest button and held 10 seconds and plugged in the power. Held the reset 10 seconds after the power cord was installed and released. The logo came back on in the frozen state ??? Frustrating. What else can I try???

Does anyone know the size of power supply plug size? I have a few box's and and they all seem to be the same power supply plugs. Is it a 5.5mm/2.1mm are a 5.5mm/2.5mm. The original power supplies seem to be about the same and cheaply made. I would like to try a slightly better made one and hopefully it would last longer.

What do I do if I am stuck on the recovery screen. I have no idea how my Android tv box restarted on this recovery screen on its own, I did not touch any rest button or do anything differently. And after googling several links I have tried to do the factory reset but then I can’t get past this it does reset and then I can’t get out of this screen no other screen come up or I can’t get into any kind of other boot up screen. Please help. I am definitely not the most technical savvy so I’m hoping that it’s something I can try and repair myself that is not too complicated
