Can't find where to download the specified files, read all the posts but no download links! Also my box is bricked, do you believe that with this dtb can run coreelec or armbian? Thanks

I have tested every possible solution, always getting the error : [0x10105002]Romcode/Initialize DDR/Read initialize status/USB Control setup error Any advice, anyone!!! Thanks

The error i am pretty sure that has to do with invalid firmware file, maybe wrong partition parameters. I tried all usb tool editions and also tried to win10, win7 and winxp! Always box is disconnecting when flashing begins at 2%. Any idea where can i find firmware files to try? Thank you Update: I removed the heatsink and the cpu is the S905L-B, maybe this helps for a firmware file. Update: I found theese firmwares https://github.com/ioannis-poulianitis/AmlogicS905LFirmwares

Will try, thanks. Any idea where can i find firmware files to try? I googled a lot but most links are dead.

Using amlogic USB_burning tool i tried to flash a firmware, unchecked the erase bootloader option and downloaded the firmware. After 100% the box was dead. Now i can connect to the usb tool using a jumper on nand pins but usb burning tool alwaays gives me that error message.

Any ideas why i keep getting the error while flashing? I am trying various firmware files. After the first one that flashed without bootloader option box is dead and i am starting the procedure with board jumper at nand pins I can here the box that connects and after a second i hear the disconnect sound [16:15:45 787][HUB4-1][Err]--[0x10105002]Romcode/Initialize DDR/Read initialize status/USB Control setup error

Will try that, thank you very much.

Based on this info can you tell what android firmware to use, can't find one for my box. The first screen comes after a factory reset and after rebooting boots to android. Also can you tell what type exactly of cpu it has and what img and dtb should i use for a bionic distribution. Thank you very much.

Yes i read that, didn't install coreelec, run it from SD card so all i did is a factory reset. The bin i remamed to ext was the s905 and now i will try all the dtb one by one. Thanks

Thanks for your answer, i have already read the how to, what can't figure out is what dtb to use. With coreelec the gxl_p125 works fine, is the dtb of coreelec compatible with armbian, if no what dtb should i try? Thanks

Hello to everyone, i have a China no name tv box with s905 cpu. I try to install armbian but no success, don't have any experience in amlogic procedure. Can anyone point me to the right img file and some instructions please. My box is named as mxq pro 4g but i know its a fake one. Thank you very much.

It is a china clone of mxq mk4 1gb/8gb with rk3328b cpu. Default config works fine, only selected led config to match, red led off, blue led on. Wifi doesn't work, i use it with ethernet. Can't have a log now because I restored the oem firmware but will update tomorrow. The error is: Error message: Gave up waiting for root file system device. Common problems - Boot args (cat proc/cnd.no) - Check rootdelay (did the system wait long enough?) - Missing modules (cat proc/modules: Is /dev) ALERT UUID-16bb1d19-3ee3-119r-Be32-9920fr7d190a does not exist. Dropping to a shell! (initramfs)

No, in order to be able to install armbian again in must flash the android firmware back, after this emmc appears again in multitool. The emmc doesn't disappear after every reboot, it is random. If i understood correctly the bootloader doesn't initiate the nand. From bash shell did an fdisk - l and blkid and no drives shown. Can't figure out what hangs.

It seems that after reboot cpu doesn't see the emmc. If i try to use multiboot utility to restore an image it does not see the emmc either. Don't know how to explain better. The boot process drops to bash shell with an alert msg device uid not found.
