Please write us more details (describe steps analytically) how you managed to burn test FW and unbrick the box. I'm trying all the time but can't even burn the FW (always stops at 2% with message '0x10105004 Romcode/Initialize DDR/Read initialize status/Error result'

Hi I installed your test version, then I successfully updated to the latest OTA . Everything is fine. I finally debricked my box. I added also the serial log. Thanks a lot superceleron and AndyMarty80

Post the error.... These boxes hard to totally brick possible yes.

You need to make sure driver and burn program installed correctly. Then download the correct firmware. Had some flashing device with firmware for completly different chipset. More you post better someone can help you. Photos of board also help. Wifi chip.... Ect ect.

[mirage47]

Sorry

but with TEST VERSION, you can't have message error at 2%.

A 4% process stop, Yon unplug usb cable and you re-plug the USB cable . The process continue a 100%

Good luck

Yes but when usb burning tool can't see the box anymore, it's dead. Right ?

YES...or no !!!

Re-install the driver in folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Amlogic\USB_Burning_Tool\WorldCup_Device.

Use the last version of soft V2.1.2

You must plug and unplug every time to see CONNECT

You plug USB cable
You switch on RESET
You plug power
You swith off reset

You can see CONNECT

Are you sure of your USB MALE to MALE ?

Do you earth the sound when you plug usb on your computer like to USB KEY ?

Bye

Success my friend! I tried the firmware in the link, the one named aml_7.1.2_s912_q9377-H96PROPLUS_LP_KDMC_mac-20171010(warning).rar in the H96 Pro+ Firmware (Hcygood) folder, and I succeeded to flash it (ignore the errors and disconnects, it will flash 100%). And I just booted it!.
I flashed with the 2.08 version of the burning tool. Let me know if you succeed too

superceleron Would it be possible to make your firmware compatible with LPDDR3 devices too please?

Thanks

Can't find the exact filename in the link you posted. Any advice for alternative source?

Hi these errors at 2 percent are usualy because of writting of wrong firmware (wrong driver for dd-ram). That test firmware made by celeron is only for h96 pro plus S32-V5(LPDDR3) box. First of all you need to know what box do you have. You can connect a serial cable if you want to see the logs from the box. If I were in your place, I would try all the firmwares from this link:

Maybe you have luck and find the correct one.
Here are the steps of writting with the burning tool:

You can find here how to connect the serial console (post 9):

Info about bootloader:

If you erased bootloader you can only unbrick with usb burning tool. If your bootloader is still intact you can use also Burn card maker to unbrick your box.

It is possible that a recent Windowa update wiped out the drivers and need to make sure box in connected with the burning tool and then run WorldCup_Device and reinstall the drivers.
