Hi,

I am new here and after many hours of frustration and searching and troubleshooting I decided to sign up and post here in hopes that someone could help me.

I have a Nexbox A95X S905X 2G/16G. I spent a few hours trying to install Oreo by following this guide. My the USB burn tool (V2.1.2) would not see my device, no matter what I tried. I reinstalled the driver, I hit start and then plugged in the USB cable, both while holding the reset button and not. I tried every variation I could think of to no avail.

I then tried to install via the SD card, that failed almost immediately. I then installed an older version of the USB burn tool (V2.0.5.15 build 7) and it finally saw my A95X! It however failed to burn the image at 2%, I did some reading and unselected the Erase Flash and Erase Bootloader options and it kept failing.

For the sake of it I reinstalled the newer version of the USB burn tool (V2.1.2) and it saw my A95X and wrote the image without and issues.

Upon completion I plugged a display into the A95X and applied power. It showed "Android O by Levy" twice and then the loading screen with the four pictures circling and bouncing around. It stayed stuck on this screen for a long while, so I did some more reading, found the advice to unplug and replug power, which I did, and it still gets stuck on the loading screen, no matter how many times I cycle power.

I then tried to restart the A95X buy holding the reset button when applying power and where it used to go to a boot menu in the past, it now just shows the "Android O by Levy" and then loads indefinitely. I tried to create a bootable SD card and where that worked in the past it now still just shows the "Android O by Levy" and stops on the loading screen.

I am at a loss. I cannot get the tv box to do anything now and would truly appreciate any assistance available.

Thanks in advance,

-Bob

Android 9.0 is unstable.

The latest version of the USB Burning Tool is 2.1.6.8. You can find it here: https://beelink-my.sharepoint.com/:f...xF0iA?e=OoUWKE

Hello I had the same problem once I did File _Import image_ Start and then I plugged my box by putting the little rod in the hole. (Sorry for my English)
Tell me if it works

Try different ports... Maybe a better a-a cable. Once you get burn tool to see the device you're close.

May also be worth trying different versions of the tool, I have found I have had to do this in the past as a version of the tool would not connect to all my boxes.

Manage to connect, but failed to burn..

where can i find ROM for mini m8s 1 ?

[Jeffers]

8.1 SDK you can get only from amlogic. Amlogic or anyone who get the source from them should upload the SDK to github or anywhere else. For now there is no way for a cammon user to get the SDK.

Thanks for response, unfortunately I don't have access to 8.1.

What about working WiFi on bad batch Mecool M8S Pro+, is that dependent on 8.1?

No 8.1 sources avilible so no update.
Still waiting.

Where would one find 8.1 sources to provide you have a copy?

Are more WiFi options dependent on 8.1 sources, I have bad batch Mecool M8S Pro+?

Hi Guys

Plugged in male to male between Mini M8S II and laptop, run the burn tool, but unable to detect the box. I even tried the toothpick b4 connecting to USB without success.

Am I missing something or steps here?

Previously on other Z69 Mini I didn't had any problem

Pls adv

Thanks

Try different version of the burn tool.
