H96 MAX+ 4/64GB RK3328 Android 8.1 TV BOX pin unbrick (BRICKED)

[ionEyes]

For those that have bricked your H96 max, you can follow the procedure below and it should work.
I have used this twice now having bricked my device to the point of no boot. lol.

1. Launch the Factory Tool. Load your ROM. Select 'Restore'. Then click start. DO NOT touch it from here on in.
2. Hold down reset, short the pins on the board, plug into PC. This will enter mask mode.
3. When MaskMode is entered, the device will begin flashing, from Factory Tool above.
4. CRUCIAL - the device once finished flashing will 'Wait for MaskMode' again, to continue flashing.
5. You must unplug and complete STEP 2 above again to put it into MaskMode BEFORE the timeout in Factory Tool.
6. The device will then flash the entire ROM onto the device. Factory Tool reports this is happening.

Device UNBRICKED.

Good luck !

Hello,
I'm sorry for disturbing you guys, but I may have bricked my device and I haven't found a way to fix it.
I have been using this TV box for quite some time, I know it gets warm, so I put it in a place with good air flow on top of a netbook cooler.
One day the LCD panel on the front would display the word "boot" and get stuck like that. I clicked the reset button (behind the AV port I think), but that didn't help.
So I came across this thread, and thought to myself, maybe I should flash it?
Thing is, the software showed a message saying it was "successful" and disconnected my device.
When I plugged it, the red LED would stay on and nothing would come on screen.
Any help will be kindly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Anyone have the latest firmware for this device H96 MAX - H2 RK3328?
The latest firmware that I have is RK3328-BOX_7.1.2_20180620.2051_H96MAX.img. Need to update to higher android version, because cannot update latest youtube app with version 7.1.2.

Already tried to upgrade with firmware from RK3328 H96 MAX+ RK3328_DC_H96_Max+_HS2734C_9_20191031.2215.img, but failed, device always on boot mode and only showing H96max+ screen, so I revert back to 7.1.2

Short these 2 golden pads with a paperclip , then you connect usb cable to OTG port of box and wait for "Maskrom Device".

Use paperclip to bridge those 2 pins under emmc chip,

unplug device

bridge 2 pins

hold bridged

plug in usb and listen for windows sound

[wolfsstolz]

So it worked for me, you have to be very patient and try again and again to cause the short circuit, at some point it suddenly works. It's best to have the sound on so that you can hear when the device is connected to Windows again. Thank you very much.

I habe eine H96 MAX+ with 4GB look like the first side on the photos, thats the same Box

Hi mates!

I have a problem with my H96 Max.

I was tried to upgrade the firmware, but I don't know why my device failed when was updating.

Now, when I connect it to my laptop it is in Maskrom status on FactoryTool application.

If I go to windows devices I can find a rockusb devices detected.


With this scenario, I have tried to upgrade it now ,my H96 Max with FactoryTool or RKBatchTool or AndroidTool, and I have found the same error.

Process start with:

- Download Boot Start.

Then the step changes and when it is on "Wait for Maskrom Start", the application waits and fails.

After that, the device disappear from windows devices and the other application like FactoryTool does not recognize it.


Can anyone help me?


Thanks a lot!

Try Factory Tool 1.45E
