Sometimes yes

My x96max 4/32 after a time of inactivity can not be started from ir remote or CEC remote. The single way to turn on is unplug/plug power . Same problem on original and moded ATV Rom .
Tried so far :
disable on original rom screen saver and no inactivity period , on moded rom i don t find the option
CEC disable One key play/One key power

I have a solution for you. According to the source https://source.android.com/devices/tv/hdmi-cec. I don't see the file
system/etc/permissions/android.hardware.hdmi.cec.xml so put 2 line in build.prop

ro.hdmi.device_type=4
persist.sys.hdmi.keep_awake=true

Restart your device

Problem solved. Now you can awake from CEC

I was having huge issues with the recognition of external USB HDD's, the box would only see 2 whatever I tried. I seem to have solved that problem by using an Orico USB 3 hub, my previous one was generic. Working flawlessly now, but only time will tell. Arrived this morning and I am delighted.

X96 Max Amlogic S905X2 / 2 GB - 16 GB
did not solve the problem, have suggestions firmware

Update (reviving my bricked X96 Max): I figured out the fix. I installed on a blank formatted micro SD card the extracted files from this zip file (containing 4 items for a TWRP recovery image and a boot up menu for the X96 Max):

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nJY...w?usp=drivesdk

and then I also copied onto the same micro SD card the OTA zip file from jiangsai0703 in post 53. (I kept it zipped, I didn't extract it). This is the OTA zip:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ULW...ew?usp=sharing

I then put the micro sd card into the X96. I then plugged in the power while pushing the AV recessed reset button for a minute. The TWRP then loaded, and then I used the install from zip file option to which I pointed it to the ota zip file located on the micro SD card. I swiped the slider to the right to flash the data. It installed perfectly. Rebooted and the X96 came back to life. Thank goodness.

My original question below:
Help! I have a X96 Max 4/64. It was working fine until I installed SuperSU (normal install). After it restarted, it seems to be bricked and I'm stuck at the X96 Max logo. I then did the toothpick in the AV hole trick to get to the Android menu. I then tried a wipe/factory reset. No luck, upon restart I'm still stuck at the boot screen. Please if someone would be so kind as to help guide me what I can do to unbrick it. Thanks.

Hi Venusflytrap,
I am in the same sad situation Can I do it with USB Flash disk as well?
Thank You!

Sipi89; I don't know if doing the flash using a USB stick would work as I didn't use that method. You can always try and see. Just make sure that your USB stick or microSD card is formatted using FAT32. Also, as the X96 Max has a couple of USB ports, if one doesn't recognize your USB stick when you boot up, then try the other USB port. )I say this because one is a USB 3 port the other is USB 2 and one of those ports may be setup to do USB boot ups.

Never mind, I have bought a micro SD card. The TWRP loaded but the update failed because Dtb check failed Error 7. Do you know something about that issue?
