H96 Max S905X3 not accepting rom flash [0x32030201]Uboot/Get result/DiskInitial error

[gladiat]

I have bought few months ago H96 Max tat worked normally until it suddenly stopped few days ago.
Only the red light is visible when plugged to the power.

I tried flashing it with the rom from the H96 website, then from the xda-developpers project but the TV Box is not accepting any rom flash
Using the USB burning tool the flashing process stops at 7% with [0x32030201]Uboot/Get result/DiskInitial error
I did some googling and found that this error is typically dsiplayed when the rom doesn't feet the box or the pysical ram.

Am I having a fake H96Max box?
Did anybody with the same problem succeeded to find the right rom?

Thanks in advance

I opened the box and took a photo of the mother board.
If somebody has the same please share the name of the Rom you are having.

I can not see the image you uploaded. So choose the color of you board and do the procedure. You can even try my custom rom (I have both versions for GREEN+BLUE board and one only for the BLUE board that also has wifi chip IT6334). https://forum.freaktab.com/forum/tv-...5x3#post812507

OK. I saw that you have a Blue Board. So you have to remove the 3 screws and see the other side of your board, if you have an IT6334 wifi chip or not.

Hello and thanks for your reply,
I have a blue board, it should be a 6330 as it is shown in the photo I posted S905X3+4+32+6330

Did you connect the 2 pins while trying to flash the rom? (short pins method)?

Yes I did.
One question regarding the bridge, shall it be done for seconds only before and while connecting the usb cable? or shall I keep it connected till the burn is 100%

Yes I did.
One question regarding the bridge, shall it be done for seconds only before and while connecting the usb cable? or shall I keep it connected till the burn is 100%

Only a few seconds after you connect the cable. Let me repeat the exact steps just to be sure:
1. Open USB Burning Tool and load your ".img" file. Press "START".
2. Connect one end of your USB-A/USB-A cable to your PC/Laptop.
3. Short the 2 pins (i.e you can use an opened paper clip for this).
4. While you keep shorting the 2 pins connect the other end of your USB cable. Wait for 3-7 seconds until burning starts and then stop shorting the pins.
5. When burning finishes (100%) just disconnect your box.

*** Note: The continuous shorting of the pins is a "trick" you may use to pass a critical point (i.e. the 7%) or even at the whole burning process. Personally I don't think it is needed for H96 max X3, but if you want you can try it (if all other tries fail to burn the firmware).

Actually I tried both methods (shorten the 2 golden points for few seconds, and along the burning process).
But still the same error at 7%.
I don't know if there is a way to have more verbose messages in order to know what is causing the error,
A hardware issue?

Although I don't think this is your problem here (taking into account the error message you get) can you tell me how long is your USB-A/USB-A cable?

[ath156]

Also what is the version of USB Burning Tool you are using?

[gladiat]

Hello, my usb cable is 6-ft long
The usb burning tool version is v2.2.0 (I think it is the latest)
I have tried earlier 2.1.7 with exactly the same error

Lately I changed the laptop, both are running windows 10 with the same result
