HUB3-1 2018-06-21 18:32:38 169 [0X30403003] UBOOT/Partition_aml_dtb/Download buffer/Data transfer error

Does anyone know what this means ? Have I in fact bricked the box beyond recovery?

Many thanks...

Try with another cable! Give additional power from the power unit. .

It won't work it's a different built, you can use a marshmallow kernel on nougat but it wont boot if you do the other way ronund, there is a s912 q201 7.1.1 rom with the same kernel, but updated for nougat, have a look in chanagadget review website, can't help any further coz I nolonger have that prototype board, but that was the last version of Android that I know of running with a 2ghz kernel, but I thought you wanted to stay on marshmalow anyways, that IMG on China gadgests review website it's not rooted, if you use it and decide to root, make sure to remove all root related binaries from it coz if you flash SuperSU to get root it will brick due to mixed root binaries...

What rom is there with the s912 running at 2ghz? If i take that kernel and put it in android 6.0.1?

Thanks for the response. I have already tried and it didn't make any difference. Also the reset button seems to be unresponsive. This box may be dead !

The ROM that I share with mark-1978 is marshmallow it is possible to boot depends on the board, check if
-s912 CPU -ddr3 ram
-emmc chip size don't matter but brand does (that one is Samsung's) different brands may be a bit laggy
Tese are kernel related
This next ones are ROM (system/etc/) fixable wifi may be in kernel too
-wifi chipset(Bluetooth it's in the same chip)
-Remote configuration may be different too

If you are in 6.0.1 there is a good chance that it work...

hoo, It is you, uoppsss....

After purchasing a few of these boxes all had flashed fine on the standard SC 7A rom. The third box I tried failed and then wouldn't even respond to anything. To cut a long story short the third box was a Blue LPDDR3 model CZ-S32-V5. I had flashed it with the wrong rom effectively bricking the box. After some bios pin shorting the box was finally responding in USB burning tool. I then opted for the correct rom which failed. I also tried SC's test rom for LP V5 models and it still failed.

The box gets to 8% after formatting and partitioning in USB burning tool then stops displaying the following message.

Did you try with that blue PCB version in 1st post? If your box shows the audio optical ligth it's not bricked it only has wrong firmware, I suggest to begin find a stock ROM for it just in case, my last resort for firmware is chinagadget review website, also check Wich board it is some of this boxes now come with q201 not q9377 boards if it is q201 try mecool m8s pro l firmware, but you may find some wifi network issues...

No it is not dead it has the wrong bootloader in it so it's trying to find the right firmware on the sdcard tray, the only way to recover from that is with the sdburning card method, find the correct firmware for your box, use the sdcard burn method, make the card and insert it to the tray, give power to the box, if you do everything right you don't even.need to press reset the box will start flashing becouse it is already looking for firmware in that tray, it's a security thing on this Chinese devices that I only learned after trowing 2 of them to the thrash bin (stupid me hehehe) mNiwbi know, this duvices are hard to kill, unless is something with the electronics there always a way to bring them to life, on the s912 chipset you can short pins too for last resorce (I don't recommend shorting pins unless you try everything else and you know for sure that you are flashing the correct firmware) Good luck...

Thanks for the advice. SD card method seems non responsive box just stays on the Power blue led and doesn't even flash if reset is pushed. The red audio out led however is on.

I've tried Superceleron's blue version as the board is definitely a 3+32/ 9377 CZ-S32-V5. It also shows S32-V5 LPDDR3. Manufacture date 29-08-2017. I believe the original firmware was dated 10-10-17 which I have also downloaded the LP version from links on Freaktab however this also failed again at 8%.
Again the error message in USB burning tool was: HUB3-1 2018-06-21 18:32:38 169 [0X30403003] UBOOT/Partition_aml_dtb/Download buffer/Data transfer error

USB burning tool appears to partition and format then fails on the upload of the file to device memory. This I think is causing the download buffer data transfer error.

[lyubodelev]

How long is your cable? Shorten it - 50cm.

[lyubodelev]

And keep the reset button pressed! Release it, after the process comes to 8%.

I had once a problem with my box not flashing firmware that was becouse somehiw I had a bad download file, sdcard method always works good for me, also check the versions of the USB burning tool sometimes on some devices it is relevant what version you use unfortunately in your case I don't know the USB version required but make sure you got a good download and the version of the USB tool is the right one also you can use this burn card maker tool

Insert a fat 32 formated sdcard and use the normal erase option

For the USB burning tool the one I use is this

https://mega.nz/#!6N4RDLjb!c2XRwu8gLvC5LaitJP5lQe0IYsykM-chLJZ17muv4S4

Some times you get error flashing becouse you need a Mac key use this one

I hope this helps you but don't give up your box is not dead it has the wrong firmware in it

If you need additional power to the box the way to do is
1-press and hold reset button
2- plug USB cord still holding the reset button
3- plug the power cord hold still the reset button untill you see that the device restarted ( during the detection on the ram the device will restart a write bootloader then will soft reboot again and write firmware if you pay attention you can see it happening

Hello mate just a quick question are you in the 2gb or 3 GB ram version and how much ram you get in total used and free after boot, I believe my ram is faulty? Thanks

Z69 plus 3/64. Free ram ~ 1,9 GB.

I am on a H96Pro 2/32 the ram should be 1.8+ I got total 1.750 so something is not good

Here is the situation on my other 2 GB box (Mecool M8S pro 2/16) on Ugoos AM3 2,06. Just 1,750.

Here is the situation on my other 2 GB box (Mecool M8S pro 2/16) on Ugoos AM3 2,06. Just 1,750.

Why is that? Is it the ugoos kernel responsible for poor memory performance? Ricky has a kernel for s912 devices but it doesn't run run on my board he was building a version of his kernel compatible with these devices the mecool is q201 type right? But I got that Same rusult on a q9377 is your z69 plus q20x becouse it shows a different result, and are you running superceleron''s kernel or are you on stock? Thanks for sharing the info...
