Tanix TX6 TV Box - Allwinner H6 4/32GB Dual WiFi BT4.1 or 5

[SoteR2110]

Works like a charm! Thank you!!

Another thing, i've been following the posts from this thread and still confused with the update-jumps from this to there and many versions of it...which updates need I go through from android 7 (22 Dec 2018) to the most stable running android 9 in your opinion? (I've read on your post on page 26 it is the 20190506 or 20190507)
I've read that i need to go to 201902xx then OTA, then another update again.

And if so, where (in what page of the thread) can I download those update links.

Thank you in advance!!

Hi again, sorry to keep bothering you, can you please kindly guide me how to do the TWRP backup from my TX6 android 7???
I've downloaded your zip file and put it on the root of my flash drive (not SDcard) and plug it in on USB 3.0 port (near antenna) while the device is unplugged, press the reset pinhole and plug the power in. It booted to Android Recovery sceen (The top options are "Reboot system now" and "Reboot to bootloader"), but there is no backup option (I believe this isnt how TWRP should looks like.
Please help, thanks..

1. Log in to the recovery
2. Click - Apply update from EXT
3. In the window that opens, see your file TWRP.zip - run it!
4. you are already in TWRP - select a language and drag your finger (mouse needed)
further understandable

You are now on Android 7, with the help of TWRP make backup.
Install the new software Android 9, do not like it, install the Android version 7 and restore the backup using the TWRP
Attention! TVRP only for android 7!

This is same from video and only to 46%,how do you mean remove chip ,remove and replace for new or remove and resoldering same chip again?

memory chip is not damaged - just reflash using memory programmer - need to solder

I picked up a TX6 off of Amazon seller called Pendoo. It had Pendoo branded software on it, so I flashed firmware from Tanix.
No usb A to A cable yet, so I used PhoenixCard and put the software on a microSD card.
No issues at all, no reset button needed. Simply inserted the card and turned it on.

Flashed 0228, then OTA updates 0325, 0401, 0418, 0508 were installed.

I also have one dead box, all methods have been tried ten times
The service center offered to remove the memory chip and reflash it.
The price of repair is almost equal to the cost of a new box - I refused

If you read carefully my first post, it says use "Phoenix USB Tool" - if you have to completely uninstall PhoenixSuite then do so and continue only with PhoenixUSB Tool (not Suite). The Tool is simple, open Tool, load firmware image, click start, then connect with USB-to-USB cable and at same time pressing reset button during cable connection. Firmware should start Burning a few seconds after connection, may have to hold reset button for 5 seconds then let go, or press reset and hold button a second time for connection to establish.

I've tried the usb tool many times, what the device sees, what starts to write, the sound of the connection, it up, side reset, back reset, I tried all the possibilities but unfortunately not.

Thanks. I've heard about this but was never able to actually find the file.

With the reset button next to the phoneixsuit tool I've installed the software repeatedly, no problem. After the last software installation, the tool is gone. After that, phoneixsuit does not install the software in any way. The software does not load with the SDcard method.
none of the sdcard, phoenixsuit and usb pro does not work, the device just works on and off with the android installed on the sdcard.

how many percent is flashed and what's the mistake?

installation does not start at all, it gives error after a few minutes.

You are using the correct Reset button? The button on the side, seen through the grill venting? Not the button on the rear, which is for for dual-booting Linux from SDcard/USB.

Because it is hard to hit straight-on the side button reset, button is squarely behind a vent slat, it does take a few pushes of the button at an angle to get it to reset and burn firmware. Best solution I can offer you to try is the windows PhoenixUSB Tool from Beelink for Allwinner devices, read back several pages I upload the link to the firmware Tool from Beelink and can also find it in Beelink GS1 topic on FreakTab. That USB Tool has never let me down, unlike the PhoenixSuite Tool which can be hit and miss.

Which TX6 is it for?

This is known only by the programmers from Tanix. Personally, I believe that these firmware are universal.
But the address of the update OTA they already have another, this is a separate chain of software
