    HELP! OTT TV Box S905 4K - missing recovery mode

    Hi all,
    Play Store in the original firmware did not work so I had to flashed it with another ROM.

    Now I cannot not get into the Recovery Mode using the tooth-pick method (>30 sec press). It went straight into the Android main menu. It looks like the box lost this function after I managed to flash it with the Geekbuying firmware for this MXQ Pro box. The box seems to be working OK with a few quirks but it lost the ability to get into the Recovery mode.

    Is there a way to restore the Recovery mode?

    The original ROM: "ro.build.description=p201-userdebug 5.1.1 MXQ-Pro 20160413 test-keys <=== need to download this ROM. Does anyone know where it is?
    Board version: MXQ_S905_V2_0_2015112

    I have not found an older or newer ROM that worked 100% with it. Does any know where I can get this ROM as it was overwritten?

    Thanks.

    You could try this, but maybe you'll brick it:

      If you open the Terminal Emulator for Android and enter "reboot recovery", what happens?

        This box has a clock. Mine does not have it!

          Sorry for the Noob question. How do I open the Terminal Emulator? Where is this option?

            No need to apologize, we all start somewhere.
            It is an app, see here.
            Don't hesitate to ask if you need assistance.

                Thanks for the link. The Reboot app worked

                How come the toothpick in the AV port did not get me to the recovery mode? How long do I need to hold the reset button down?

                  You changed the bootloader, you need a firmware that is for your device & flash it.
