Hello guys, recently my box (it's labelled as OTT A95X Pro, has an S905W, 2gigs of RAM and 16gb flash memory) died probably because I plugged it out of power while it was updating (didn't do it on purpose) and it seems that I have a corrupt bootloader. I can only see a red light now with the blue light never coming to life. I have tried a lot of ways to recover from this but I always get to a dead end. These are the following things I've tried:
- Used USB Burner Tool from AMLogic, my computer recognized the box straight away but I always can't get pass 2% when burning an image. Have tried over 15 different images for S905w and over 5 different versions of the tool with no success. Also tried changing the cable and even connected the box straight to the PC's motherboard USB header. Have also tried to burn in Windows 10, 7 and XP, unfortunately with the same results.
- Used AMLogic SD Card Burner, created the bootable SD card and actually the box managed to recognize it (blue light was on), but always after the updating screen I was getting an android logo with a cross next to it and was stuck there, like the image wasn't correct or something.
- Decided not to flash a firmware at all and run LibreELEC (and CoreELEC) straight from an SD card. Downloaded the specific version for s905w, tried a lot of different devices trees (dtb files) but the box didn't even boot.
Before powering the box I was pressing the reset button for the recovery on the AV port. The only thing I haven't tried is short pinning but correct me if I'm wrong I think this is done only when your PC doesn't recognize the box, so I don't know if it will be any useful at all. Also I don't have a UART-USB converter, so I cannot connect to serial for terminal. Is there a way to recover from this? I'm in desperate need of help! Thanks for your time.
