T95Z S912 stuck on frozen Poison boot screen

I have recently updated the firmware on My T95Z plus. It was on 7.1.2 so I followed the guide (at the start of this Thread) and installed using a SD card with TWRP and Poison 4.3 zip - the install went fine with no errors. The box rebooted and got to the Poison boot screen (not animated) and is stuck there. I have tried fresh downloads of the TWRP and Poison files. I have used TWRP to wipe before installing 4.3 again.

I did try the USB burning tool method - but my computer just cant seer the box as a USB device.

I dont think the unit is Bricked as i can still get into the boot menu and time/ clock etc still works.

Can any one offer any help? I have tried several posts for support on here but seem to get lost in the various similar suggested solutions.

Cheers in advance!!

You're not the first one with that symptoms but there are several things that can cause that. I had that issue too (or at least similar enough). There's a chance it's the same with your box. Read my post and several others after https://xdaforums.com/android-stick...ic/t95z-plus-poison-rom-t3751720/post79229375

It's interesting that stock OS had fewer locks than Poison, but maybe it's the difference in cpu governor in kernel or there's some power hungrier app in startup of Poison or something like that. I ended up modifying old tablet power supply of 5V 2.4A for the box and all the issues stopped completely. I don't have the box anymore but hope this helps

P.S. Power supply must be plugged in when attaching to PC, ignore the tutorials stating otherwise. PC Usb doesn't have enough juice to power up that box and thus to recognize it

Links not working

UPDATE:

version 4.3 download available here:

androidfilehost.com/?fid=1899786940962591516

HI ALL,

my t95z plus is really annoying me, it freezes, apps wont run etc so going to update the ROM.

the POISON ROM looks great, and hopefully a lot more stable then the stock ROM which has never worked properly.

has anyone got a version i can download from somewhere ? - the links here are mostly expired now.

thank you.

MP

Download links are not working, i have only been able to get the 2/16 download for the non T95z+ download

flash the Custom Recovery (TWRP) for S912 devices below.

2gb Ram S912 TWRP can be downloaded from here: LINK WORKS, BUT only 14Mb file size, stock ROM is 1.4Gb ?

Here is the T95Z 7.1.2 Modified Stock Firmware with TWRP pre-installed for 2/16 - Download here - The file you are trying to download is no longer available.

DOWNLOAD V4.3 - STABLE - The file you are trying to download is no longer available.

DOWNLOAD V4.1 - STABLE - The file you are trying to download is no longer available.

I cant find any other downloads for the poison ROM.

thanks again.

I have found a version of poison 4.3 ROM and attempted to install

thanks to JohnieBraaf and 09mysh for your replies.

however the install failed with errors

footer is wrong

signature verification failed

error 21 - [see below]

so im looking for the stable version with TWRP for the 2/16 T95z plus

the factory reset version of stock 7.1.2 is so unstable now, its driving me nuts.

all help appreciated.

I'm also using power adapters with a higher amperage as the factory ones were always were causing troubles (same situation with two completely different Chinese boxes). I'm using 5 Volts 3 Amps adapter from an old router with t95z.

Samsung/ apple fast chargers can be used for powering tv boxes if you know what you're doing.

Hi

I have a problèm with my thl Super Box

Can you help

Thnks
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Vortell:
You need to find out which chip is on the box. The best place for help with this kind of issue is over at freaktab. They even have a Android 9.0 build for s912 for some. More are supposed to come though drivers have to be switched out. The problem is without original firmware you might have to open up the box to find what chip set it is. I would direct you there for the most help possible.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Vortell:
Are those your actual box because there manufacturer can and they do change cops on them mid production. As I stated I would go to freak tab s912 section and try one of those rooms it one around for drivers and how to install them. I don't know nearly as much as them. Register an account and head over there.

Remote learn function?

Does anyone know if its possible to learn tv remote control commands using the included remote (my devices remote has the tv section on top and i'm hoping it can learn tv power and volume buttons)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] wodgey:
From what you've stated, I would say "yes"

On my remote, I need to press+hold power (in the TV section) until the led lights (or blinks) continuously then press the button to want to program.

Then point the remote that you want to clone at your included remote and press the button you want copied. Repeat this "button you want to program - button you want to copy" process until you're happy

I think it's then press "ok" to finish programming.

Hope that works

Hi folks,

I have a Zoomtak Uplus, S912, 2gb/16 gb, with sata disk, 4k hdmi, aluminium box running 6.0.1.

It appears that the box should be running 7.1.2 as a prerequisite before I can try this rom.

Please tell me how to upgrade this Uplus to 7.1.2. Can't find any firmware on manufacturer's website.

Found a zip on freaktab but no instructions on how to flash this zip.

Please help.

Thanks in advance.

hey yall been searching and searching on info them came upon this thread.

I have a nexbox A1 2g 16 and it has a red led wont turn on so hoping i can flash firmware to get it going.

Can someone help me out with this. What file do i need? I already have the burning tool.

Ive been reading pages and pages on here but so confused lol
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] seventhworl:
Looks like you have spammed the thread while looking for help... :rolleyes:

You havent provided much info so it will be hard to help but if it has red led and wont turn its likely bricked.

What caused it to have red led? Did you try to flash something on it?

I have previously bricked my T95Z - the way I solved it is by shorten the pins on the board in specific way (google around to find the way to do it for your box) and then flashed stock firmware (again something you have to find) on it using USB burning tool.

Once you have that sorted your box should work with STOCK image.

Then you will be able to download and install TWRP as described in First post (2gb Ram S912 TWRP can be downloaded from here: https://mega.nz/#!H4lVUQDA!yAMQ0nVD87HDGV0SBbLAgKtjXFEBGVDdWanhpyDbHSc )

Finally yo can load Poison ROM zip on sdcard or UBS stick, boot the box into recovery and flash the ROM.

one question before i flash this rom

i see no brand on my box.it is t95z plus with firmeware 7.1.2. I want to backup first I have downloaded twrp zip file can i simply put on sd card and flash it. Thanks for any help
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] wodgey:
Google "amlogic sd card burning tool" and use that. Instructions are easy to find.

Then pull power from your box and hold in the reset button whilst plugging the power back in (again, google on where to find it. It is often hidden behind the a\v port and can be accessed with a tooth pick)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] rexamillion59:
thank you

one more question after installing twrp do i still need burn tool to flash posin rom
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] wodgey:
It depends on the type of tile you have. If you have a .zip file, you still need twrp.

If you have a full .img file then likely sd card tool which will probably remove twrp

I know 2 options:

Option 1: Try and error. Flash one stock version (lp or normal) and you see what happens (that's what I did in the first run). If the result isn't a successfull flash process and a working box it was the wrong one and your flash the other.

Option2: open the box check out the chip.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] luca_brasi:
Poison rom should work with both variants. Did you try to reflash poison via TWRP (started from sd card)?

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] luca_brasi:
If your box does not show up on PC any more you can only unbrick it by resetting the NAND. Find out which chip is mounted and look for the two pins you have to shortcut to reset. After the the reset box will show up on PC in the Amogic flashtool.

For my box it looks like this:

Guys, can anybody help me out in choosing and if it is possible for my SCISHION V99 Magic S912 (3Gb-32Gb) be using those firmwares...mine got android 6 in it, since I bought through AliE...somehow, mine working pretty sluggish especially with Kodi and I have another box with S905 chip in it and that is working fine & smooth compare to this box.

Oh another thing is, I always install either Top TV Launcher 2 or SquareHome Launcher (those are my favourites & very customizable also, android tv efficient when using remote or mouse). Is there probability that there is a compatibilty issue with factory installed launcher? Although, from my trial & error effort of trying many different launchers, I have found that those 2 probably the best launcher to have in the TV Box.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] luca_brasi:
1: Put "Twrp.img" to sd card

2: rename it "recovery.img"

3: Put "poison.zip" to sd card

4: turn your box off

5: insert sd card

6: take a toothpic and push the button inside the AV connector

7: plug in power while holding the button

=>box boots to TWRP and you can install .zip-files

Usally see issues if not using the same TWRP Version as backup was made on & this can also happen if you try to restore a backup over a diffrent rom than the backup was made on, this is almost always the case when restoring a backup of a diffent android version (say android 9 and restoring android 7 rom) so install the rom the backup was made on amd failing that roms that are the same android version :)

S912 is a complex beast, there can be several reasons for a failed install, you could try my s912 roms (android 9) there are versions for ddr3 & ddr4, LPDDR3 and Slow EMMC versions you could try those, also USB burn tool is install method I reccomend as SD Card install method can fail alot and with no info on what stage it failed at & USBBurm Tool Can Unbrick your box from a bad flash
