Untick "erase flash" on UBT or Burn Card Maker.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] khamim:
What is the difference between erase flash and erase bootloader?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] thyaguster:
Erase flash has to do with if it formats internal storage/data. If you're installing a ROM for the first time I would advise you to erase to get a clean installation. If you're just updating a ROM, you can untick it and keep all data/configs.

Erase bootloader means, well, exactly that - it erases the bootloader.

I'm not the best person to explain it further, but unless you really need to erase it I wouldn't mess with it.

I've been flashing my box without erase bootloader, as instructed on 4pda, without any issues.

Good Morning! I have an A95X F3 RGB ... With this custom rom, could I install magisk or at least have a custom recovery? (Installed, not bootable)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] luciferyelow:
I think it should work. What do you mean by the root setting doesn't work? Does it not let you root during the set up? Is there an error message? I previously installed slimbox v10.2 ATV rom on this device and there isn't any problem. By the way, can you check whether the slimbox v10.5 rom is still based on the u211 stock firmware build from 20200426?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tombraga:
setup worked fine, but then after setup i tried to install root in the settings, no error message, but did not change to rooted.

I did this with my other boxes HK1 and X96 max+ and had no problems, worked fine.

concerning the rom, yes in the build there shows U211 from 20200426.

i have simbox-pie-ver 10.5.1 (i flasched the patch-file).

by the way, even after flashing the patch file, i gives error concerning bluetooth (has to be closed...) after booting the box.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tombraga:
I think a very good idea!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] luciferyelow:
Perhaps try old versions like v10.2? if it still doesn’t work well, you can burn it back to the Newton firmware.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tombraga:

Perhaps this rom works?

Could you elaborate on how to extract the boot.img file? Thank you!

UPDATE: I found the boot file using X-plore. Thanks for sharing this method.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Bertonumber1:
You should always take a note of the kernel/build number of your factory shipped firmware. Incase anything goes wrong...... So in future be sure to do this........

You get back to original same way you got to slim rom, Google is your friend
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Rainey222:
In the past when I recommended the slimbox firmware to people and gave them a link to page one of this thread they would look under the download links and see screenshots of the different versions, instructions on how to install it and links to the tools needed like USB burning tool to do it.

Now with the links pointing to the Russian site it's not even clear what this firmware is or where to get the tools to do the job. when they click on video instructions they're even more confused cuz everything's in Russian and it's only showing you how to change a few settings.

I understand that you now have to point them over there to download the firmware files.

But couldn't you still leave the screenshots and the instructions to install the firmware file along with links to the tools used here at this site so when a new person is recommended to come here for slimbox project in English it isn't so confusing what he has to do.

Maybe at least provide links to the slimbox ru site to the different sections, like firmware, manuals, useful tools.

Or explain to use Chrome and translate to English and select the three bars to the right of the home button for the different sections of that website.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Bertonumber1:
You have a point, kind of.

With the current state of development for these cheap Chinese clone boxes there just isn't too many developers willing to put the work in and source, build or port different firmwares from these boxes. 4PDA has always had a healthy interest in these boxes as it's forums are more exclusive for Android TV devices especially cheap entry level boxes which are often difficult to obtain normal stock firmware let alone customised roms.

You have freaktab for one and xda where slim house have made the attempt to share it with other non native countries, they could've just kept it on 4pda.

IMO if you are willing to source firmware for your box especially if you are given links and not expected to pay anything but make a donation if you're happy to, then you have to meet the developers half way.

I'm sure most of the developers time is spent either with family and friends and spare time is spent... well... developing.

Therefore we simply cannot expect or portray an entitlement for them to spend even more time translating their work to our language.

If you look on the slim house telegram channel (use the bot) type in your device or select it or even type in any rom for any device in Google (like you said) and add 4pda to the end of the search.

Simply hit translate or use itools or whatever. An extra couple of minutes isn't going to cause too much hassle.

Dear @tombraga,

it is possible to unbrick your device.

Just follow the guide in this video:
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tombraga:
@minax007 unbelievable, i did it, as in the yt video, thank you very much. i cannot believe it really.

I will try now with TWRP restore my last backup.

But i am in doubt, if the slimbox will really dont work on it, but i am afraid i brick it again...

could you install slimbox on your H96+ Alfawise? mine is 3 GB / 32 GB and not 2/16 as mentioned in the slimbox firmware...??
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tombraga:
do you think @minax007 this slimbox rom works on the alfawise of the Youtube clip? i already tried it and bricked it, but perhaps the flashing process with sd card did not finish well? what do you mean?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] minax007:
Dear @tombraga,

I can't answer you, because I do not have a H96pro+ :)

I am a Muslim and my intention was to serve Allah by finding a solution for you to avoid waste in this world.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Bertonumber1:
All religious postings aside Allah won't help in saving a box from brick, it requires UBT and maybe a short of two points if you're really stuck (hard brick).

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tombraga:
But i could solve my box with the help of YT clip, indicated by @minax007

I followed exactly the clip and it worked at the first time.

My box was already in the garbage can and now it is working fine again.

But perhaps you have an idea concerning my my post last page?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Bertonumber1:
If it works it works, good. The short method is really a last resort tbh.

i want try otg wire method. but dont know what kind of wire it. can somebody explain this also or post pic of it so i can buy it.thanks
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
You need a USB-A/USB-A cable. You can even make it yourself if you have 2 spare cables (i.e. from old smartphones etc). You cut 2 of them, keep the USB-A part of them and then just connect the 4 smaller cables color to color. Insulate the connections with electrical tape. Better make it no longer than 15-20 cm.

Just note that the cables need to have 4 smaller cables inside (2 for power-2 for data), therefore if they have only 2 (for power) they are not suitable.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] marlinzukz2:
Thanks for the info.

I was thinking of rooting with magisk too.

So I followed this information and tried it.

Unfortunately, I could not install magisk without any change.

TV-BOX:X96 Max Plus2（４GB/32GB)

Stock ROM:X96Max_Plus_Q2_20201209-1446

Magisk:ver807/21.4

Is there anyone who was able to install it using the method described?

Please share pached-boot.img (for the above ROM).
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] minax007:
Dear @marlinzukz2

Were you able to extract the boot.img to the sd-card?

The boot partition could be different on your device.

Therefore you need to identify the boot device first.

Typically it is done by the following command (this is just an example*):

cat /proc/mtd

Or you try this: cat /proc/partitions

Or you check this path for the partitions: /dev/block/platform/*/by-name

* Please consider that the path could be different for different devices.

The best way to find out where the partitions are described is by checking it via root explorer.

The output should look like this:

dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00400000 00004000 "misc"
mtd1: 00800000 00004000 "kernel"
mtd2: 01000000 00004000 "boot" --> could also be named "bootloader"
mtd3: 01000000 00004000 "recovery"
mtd4: 18000000 00004000 "backup"
mtd5: 08000000 00004000 "cache"
mtd6: 40000000 00004000 "userdata"
mtd7: 00400000 00004000 "kpanic"
mtd8: 20000000 00004000 "system"
mtd9: 6ac00000 00004000 "user"

In the example above you see that the boot.img is in mtd2.

Change to the path which you have identified before in the root explorer.

cd /path/you/have/identified/

To extract the boot.img you can then type the following command:

cat mtd2 > /sdcard/boot.img

The name on the sd-card (here boot.img) is freely chooseable.

But also here you need to address the correct path to the "sdcard", which you need to identify before.

Hi guys.

I bought a X96 Air and i want to flash the SlimBox rom with the burning tool.

But i am a bit confused because AIDA64 said that my modell ist the X96Air_100 but when i am on the download page there are only P1,P2,P3,P4 and V2 Versions.

Can anybody help?

Thanks for your quick reply.

I tried to get a path of boot.img by your guide.

But I could not get it.

And root explorer can not work on my TV-BOX(unrooted).
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] minax007:
Dear @marlinzukz2

In SlimBox you can easily root with Superuser through the menu.

Then you can install a root explorer and check for the path.

Or you check for the path directly in TWRP.

if there was some internal hotwire mod i would try it... i saw one that used the usb slot but i need mine.

i think for most people concerned about thermals scrapping off the tape and using any leftover computer thermal paste would do the trick i just had lots of left over parts from other cooling mods... it's not the most cost effective though and was hoping for the temps to be lower.

i was also tempted to buy one massive heatsink like these (https://www.ebay.com/itm/1pc-60-60-...-for-LED-and-Power-IC-Transistor/262605021864) but i am happy enough for now as it's only used for video and setting the cpu to interactive 1ghz-1.9ghz has it hovering between 50-57c and is responsive enough.

maybe i'll try that mod for when the new boxes come out with the S908X

I was pretty careful but still when I replaced it and connected my box to the TV, there were artifacts in the picture similar to analogue static. The box went to the trash.

Before this i made TWRP backup of my data and now i got very fast my original configuration with root device...:)(y)

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Beerle:
Unfortunatley it seems to be the wrong firmware. I flashed the slimbox x96 air P4 Version on my x96air_100 but nownothing is working. The display in front dosn't work and the box doesn't boot. Alsowhen i try to connect the box to the PC nothing happen.

Is the box now dead or is it just bricked?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] nareshkumar1985:
@SlimHouse Just checking, whenever I turn off the box and TV using HDMI CEC I see a green screen for a moment before the TV screen is turned off. Is that a known behaviour or something is I need to do about it. Please help.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] minax007:
Dear @Beerle

Bad news: Your X96 air is most probably dead.

Good news: It can be unbricked! You just need to make a short (German: Kurzschluß) between two pins of the NAND chip during plugging in the USB connector while having "Amlogic USB burning tool" running on your PC.

Bad news: For this box it is really hard to make a short. The pins cannot be reached without scratching off the PCB cover. You need to be very careful when doing this, so that you do not damage the conductor.

Good news: There is a video explaining it:

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tombraga:
@raruba Could you explain me a bit more detailed, how to proceed this, which are the steps exactly? Thanks a lot.

I don´t know the vendor issues...

the first i should do is to burn this X88 king rom with sd card with the confiuration on the picture, yes?

after flashing this rom, reboot normally to system?

and then second step (you said: put it with the vortex 6.0 BeeLink GT King vendor), how i do this?

Further informations:

Actually i use a custom rom from Freaktab_Sasvlad (GTKing_VolksWare_by_Sasvlad_v.2.0_906P0_B922_English) and i have fix installed the TWRP 3.3.1.0

With this TWRP i made already following Backups to my sd card:

- complete nando (Boot-System-Data)

- data backup (only data)

- vendor backup

- vendor image backup
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] minax007:
Dear @Beerle

you can flash any firmware for your tv box. Also the stock rom via this method.

But you should try Slimbox Rom. It is much better than any stock rom I know.

Once you have learned how to unbrick your device then you can unbrick whenever something goes wrong.
