Which device, you need to hold reset button and connect the cable to the OTG port on the tv box.

Try all out, usually one of USB 2.0 ports.

...right now i have USB A to USB A cable. do i need to purchase any other cable for the device to get connected to the laptop ? ...

OK, but (should be USB 2.0 type) cable shorter as 1 meter and thick.

finally i was able to connect with USB 3.0 port. but the issue here is when i inserted the toothpick and connect the cable from usb 3.0 to laptop, i see that for few seconds devce is getting connected to HUB1-2
but after 2 or 3 seconds device is getting disconnected from the laptop
what should i do to fix it and keep the device having stable connection to the laptop ?

Please try the following sequence:
1. Leave the box without any power (no ac adapter attached for 5-10 minutes). Leave it also bare (nothing attached to it).
2. Connect one end of USB cable to the box (the other attached to nothing).
3. Start USB burning tool, load your rom and after that press "START".
4. Press the "reset" button of your box.
5. While still pressing the reset button attach the other end to your laptop's USB. Try both 2.0 and 3.0 ports (although I think usually it is 2.0).
Good luck.

Of course NOT. The box must be "bare" (without anything connected). If it starts burning you should leave it until it reaches 100% in the USB Burning Tool window and only then disconnect it.
If the burning is completed you can initialize it as usual.
Did you try different USB ports of your laptop???
Did you try both USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports of your box?
Do you have another PC to try (probably older with windows 7, although I don't think this is the problem).
Otherwise you may have to open your box to do the "short pin" method (which is a more demanding method and you have to know either what pins to connect or to find them by yourself).I think you never told us the exact model/maker of your box.

What do you mean "error while I clicked on Start"? You must first click "Start" and after a while connect the USB cable !!!!!
Do you have the correct firmware/rom for your box?
Why you are not specifying the maker/model of your box? Is it a secret?

[abhi2020]

Sorry but how many times do I have to tell you:
1. You load the .img file and you press "START" of USB burning tool. YOU DO NOT CONNECT THE BOX WITH THE CABLE YET. Nothing is connected to the Laptop USB port YET!!!!!
2. Only after that you can connect the USB cable to the Laptop's USB port!!!!! (and of course at the same time keep pressing the reset button of the box).

[abhi2020]

i did what you told me. i tried various methods. even i tried like what you mentioned
i have loaded the .img file, and press start on the usb burning tool. then i have connected the cable to my box, pressed reset button using toothpick and then connected the usb cable to my laptop
i am getting the same issue after 8%
