I would really like to find out what is really broken. It also seems odd that the Flash Tool and burn cards don’t seem to do anything, like not even start to do anything, as I have read that Amlogic boxes are almost “unbrickable” because you can “always” flash them in these ways. As in: the bootloader seems to be “ok”, I don’t want to touch it, I just want to write something to the remaining part of the eMMC that is just not doing anything atm. It seems to me, that having a running system should open up some way to flash it “by software”. I have read about shorting the pins, but it seems excessive, considering that it does work from SD. I have downloaded a 6.0 and a 7.? FW that should be made specifically for my box, but as I wrote above: no (easy, described all over the internet) way to flash it. Do your research.Ĭlarification: it happily boots CE from mSD, this is why I’m weary to do anything that might actually brick it. If you’re having no joy getting the USB Burning tool to find the your box, you may have to Short Pins on the flash or nearby components to get the box to wake into a restore-ready state for the software. I’ve personally used a Tanix TX7 firmware (google: HQYG-TX7-nikodi-20180104 ) because it has installed on the numerous S905x boxes I’ve had over the years.

I seem to recall people in the forum here referring to an A95x S905x Android 7 rom that installs quite happily to many S905x boxes: mentioned here. If your box is already bricked, you don’t really have anything to lose, but if it still functions in some way, I would think very carefully before proceeding. Installing Android 7 firmware with the AML USB Burning Tool (for the boot loader) might be a step towards a solution to your overall problem, but on the same hand, experimenting in this way might brick your box entirely if you’re unable to find a working ROM for your box.

I only discovered the segmentation fault issue while trying to restore my tar.gz compressed setup from the command line. Both of my boxes would boot the NG builds from mSD and sort-of run with the original Android 6 boot loader installed, but were plagued by segmentation faults that would essentially crash the box at random intervals. What version of Android was on the box originally? The reason I ask is that the two S905x boxes (An X96 2/16 and A95x 1/8 clone) that I’ve installed NG builds to the eMMC both required an Android 7 firmware for (from what the devs surmised) the Android 7 boot loader.

Just to clarify does it still boot to CE from mSD and won’t boot anything from the eMMC, or is it totally bricked after trying to install to the eMMC? Hopefully this can help you towards your own solution. I’ll be honest I don’t necessarily have a solution, so much as experience from what I had to do to get NG builds on my S905x devices running nicely from eMMC and uSD. So if (and only if) somebody is interested: do you have any further ideas? That was there before using CEEMMC and now it’s not, regardless of whether I boot to CE from SD or to the black screen doing anything else. One thing that definitively changed is the loss of the “Nexbox” bootlogo. LE did still work from eMMC, as I booted it once before using CEEMMC. I have never seen the lying Android, because I just never went there. I do not know, whether any of the above methods worked before using CEEMMC, I had never tried a burn card, Amlogic burn tool or TWRP before. CEEMMC (-x) did seem to work, didn’t complain. I did read, that I should reinstall the original FW first, but I thought: why should I? I don’t even want it. I decided to put it on the eMMC, because the LE installation there had not been used forever. So I put one on an SD-Card, rebooted with the reset button pressed, and it worked. I don’t even remember if that went completely smoothly back then, but I think it did. use CEEMMC again: doesn’t work, as the expected partitions don’t existīefore using CE (before there was CE) I used LE (kzaq’s builds).SD Card with TWRP and DTB from original Firmware: black screen.USB A-A Cable: PowerLED turns on (blue) but Computer doesn’t see a device (neither in Amlogic Burn Tool nor in device manager), even if I additionally connect power then - black screen.

burncards (Amlogic Burn Card Maker): black screen.what I tried (everything while pressing the reset button and without):.Just a Black Screen, when no or any other SD-Card than one containing CE is inserted. There is no Boot Logo and no lying Android. Nothing else works, and I can’t seem to find a way to do anything with the eMMC. I use a “Nexbox A95x” with a S905X Chip, 2 GB Ram and 8 GB eMMC.ĬoreElec works. I do not expect support at all, but if somebody wants to offer thoughts or ideas, I would be grateful. I fully know that ceemmc is unsupported for my device.
