@jocknow that I booted librelec, can i export any logs to help you? or any other way?

@jock I already did that in previous post:

Hi, as I posted some time ago I can't boot multitool on this box using SD card. I just tested both LibreELEC-RK322x.arm-10.0-nightly-20230925-65bd849-rk322x.img and LibreELEC-RK322X.arm-11.0-nightly-20240218-d7324fb-rk322x.img and they both seem to work fine except that 10.0 doesnt support wifi chip. I wanted to try (again) to install to internal or install ARMBIAN using multitool but it doesnt boot at all (screen is blank, cant remember if I have to do something else) yet LibreElec images boot fine. Am I missing something? I thought that multitool boot was "fixed" on my device. What can I do to boot multitool on this box, or help to diagnose what is the problem so it gets fixed? Blue LED is on, Ethernet port shows activity, but box stays blank, no display.

@SteeMan It has been IMPOSSIBLE to reflash this box. The only thing I could do is to get it detected using Amlogic USB Burning Tool when making a short on nand (took multiple tries but got it sorted out), but it stops 30 seconds in with this error: [0x10105002]Romcode/Initialize DDR/Read initialize status/USB Control setup error Tried multiple versions of the tool (with newer and older drivers of woldcup bla bla), multiple firmwares like hugsun_s905_mxq_20160304.img (I think this is the original one), and MXQ_PRO_4K_p201_android_TV_by_cOOLio_V2.5_MEE.img (this is supposed to work with this box as its for p201 boards), and also tried to start the flashing process before connecting the device, all failed attempts, all end with same error. Armbian still works fine. Isnt there any way of reflashing this box from within Armbian itself? Want to use EmuELEC or Batocera, thats my only wish! EDIT: tried an old Win7 pc, worked at first try. God damn Win11.

Thanks Jock, sadly, it wont boot or show anything on screen. On the other hand, "LibreELEC-RK322x.arm-10.0-nightly-20230306-088ac81-rk322x.img.gz" seems to boot and work fine. Let me know if there is any other test to try.

@SteeManthanks for the answer! now, how can I restore original android if I can't put the box in recovery mode using toothpick method? Can I do it from Armbian? Is there any command to run to do it? I can't seem to put the box on any recovery mode so Amlogic USB Burning Tool can't detect it (I already used it and have experience using it on my S802 box). Device isnt shown on windows and I'm using a USB-A to USB-A cable that is proven to work with my other RK3229 box.

Hello! I recently started to play with this box and couldnt boot anything at all, as if reset button on AV port didnt work. So I downloaded terminal app for android and typed "reboot update" as suggested here https://forum.libreelec.tv/thread/4076-mxq-box-won-t-boot-into-sd-card-le-or-recovery/?postID=29844#post29844 (toothpick method doesnt work at all), and managed to enter recovery, so then I put ARMBIAN on SD and did "reboot update" from Android and booted Armbian. It worked fine... Until I wanted to try LibreELEC or EmuELEC and now the box doesnt boot Android (stuck at MXQ 4K Pro logo) and wont boot anything on SD as LibreELEC, EmuELEC, it only boots Armbian images. I can't even flash any IMG with Amlogic Burn Tool as device never enters flash/recovery mode with toothpick, so I think the only chance is to do something inside Armbian. I suspect recovery on this box is somewhat flawed, it seems to be "stuck" on "update mode", so all I can think is a TWRP compatible recovery flash from within Armbian, or any other recovery that works, so I can go back to Android or try EmuELEC. Device is OTT MXQ Pro 4K, AML S905 1GB ROM 8GB RAM, Realtek Wifi, GXBB P201, it uses "hugsun_s905_mxq_20160304.img" Android. Armbian works fine, nothing else boots.
