Hi. Is this clear enough for you to see what you need? The broken box is on the left. Thanks again.

You don't need to extract the rom from nand from a box to the other just google for the type of ROM that you want for your x96 mini and flash it with the amlogic tool there are a few here on freaktab, if your box nand flash memory is OK flash will work no matter if it is a clone or the real thing, I had the same issue unfortunately my box has a corrupted nand and didn't work, how do you now the nand is toasted? The light keeps red and you get different results when flashing some times the box don't even show on the tool, good luck, another thing you can do is if your nand is toasted and you got a soldering station replace the chip, some kingstone USB drives use the same chip even if it is from a different manufacturer's, but it don't worth the trouble. Anyway good luck.

Its not clearly visible,need HQ Resolution pics, but what is see is that there is a difference between the two pics, i can see something printed on the rom/Nand Flash of the right pic, if its different then there is no chance of copying one Rom to Another.

When I run the "Wireless Update" it shows that there is a 900mb update available. Is it recommended to install this?

anyone?

has anyone ever ported an ATVx rom to the china clone version of these x96 minis?

Is this the info you mean? It's from the working box. There is no signal from the bricked one, but they were delivered at the same time so I assume everything is the same.

Hello head to freaktab.com there is at least 2 Android TV ROMs for this device if you don't know how there are instructions how to flash too, good luck...

open both the boxes and take a physical picture of both the boxes with your cell phone camera.

Hi again. Sorry for not being more clear. I have two boxes. What I'm wondering is if there is a way to copy the ROM from the working box (even if the box is fake) and load it onto the bricked box. I've read that you can brick a box trying to copy the ROM and would like to know if you have a preferred way of doing this so as to avoid bricking the good box while trying to copy its ROM.)

Upload H/W pics of Both the boxes then only i can say its possible to copy one rom onto another or not.

Thanks for those responses. If you have a working box that is identical to the bricked box, would you expect that copying the ROM from the one and flashing it to the other would work? If so, can you recommend a method?

tiku I have an X96 mini 4k Amlogic S905W 2GB 16GB. I bricked my box after supposedly successfully flashing a firmware from Atv experience. I have a solid red light. I've tried flashing a number of firmwares without success via sd card and Amlogic tool. The tool always shows a connection but I get that 1% with ]--[0x10103005]Romcode/Initialize DDR/Download buffer/Read item data failed error Jami mentioned in an earlier post. The vendor gave me a link to the (supposedly) stock firmware but I can't flash that either. When unzipped the file says mxq-4k-6051-nv2-1114. Of course, the ?mxq? makes me wonder if it?s even the correct firmware. I wrote to the company in China a week ago but no reply yet. Is the locked bootloader business you mention likely the reason I can?t flash it? I do have access to an identical box but the way people write instructions on copying a ROM are confusing to say the least, and one poster said you could easily brick the good box by trying. Would you advise trying to copy the ROM from the good box and flashing it to the brick? If so, can you recommend a good tutorial? Thanks in advance!
