Hi, anybody can help? I have the same problem here. I got a T9 TV box RK3318 4g/32Gb. It is in bootloop now. Do u have any link to download the RK3318 rockchip firmware? Tks.

[@ignaciogrant2226]

you prolly dont care but does someone know of a method to log back into an instagram account? I somehow lost the account password. I love any tips you can offer me

[@ignaciogrant2226]

@Warren Ricardo thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@ignaciogrant2226]

@Warren Ricardo It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thanks so much you saved my account :D

[@marcj4586]

Used the reset method on my Tanix TX9 box, it had a video issue (scrambled video) after Amlogic S912 logo screen. My method: TX9 Box connected to HDMI, held down reset button (reset hole near SPDIF), plugged in box, box booted, logo showed, held reset until logo hangs (about 15 seconds), stopped holding the reset button in, waited about 20-30 seconds "Recovery Mode" popped up. From there did a factory reset like your video. Awesome. Love your videos, always informative. Thank you, Peter.

[@PeterC408]

Great! Glad that you got it to work.

[@ged22n53]

It is refreshingly brave for someone to show the failures as well as the success. Well done.

Hi Peter I was trying to update the firmware on My MXIII 4k and when in recovery mode its stuck on no command and no matter what selection I make there in no response. Can you help please.

[@bullshitdepartment]

Please help. Mine is also in no command

[@ericjr5642]

Excellent walkthrough for when you get defective boxes, and need to return!

[@FoggySwe]

2:12 using volume up & down makes sense since it’s a mobile phone OS

[@PeterC408]

Good point... that is probably where this whole thing came from. :)

[@vanessaajuonuma4550]

what if I dont have the actual remote I have tried everything to bring it to factory but nothing

[@Sepulkrum]

Hi. On recovery mode the volume and power buttons are used because those are normally the only physical buttons on a phone when you go to recovery. Also, it is also a good idea to wipe cache as there might be old data there that might prevent the box from booting. On the mecool you can get to recovery by just holding the power button until it boots although the reset button gets you there also.

[@johngreen2015]

Hello Peter, I have the device you are taking about and is in that very mode you are talking about. I have tried the wipe cache/factory reset/ and mount system options with a power reboot and no success! Can I reload the firmware via SD card and bypass this issue all together or must I resolve this first?

[@charleschapman2428]

I do this with my android tablet, Power down completely, then hold the "power button" and the "volume down button" until you get into recovery mode. On my tablet I highlight, by using the volume up-down to select the wipe cache partition and select it using the power button. The first time I did it, it takes some time, after that, I do it once and a while just to clean it out. The tablet will reboot when it's done. I don't have a TV box, but I would try the wipe cache partition, just to clean out the junk cache; its the same as cleaning out the cache files in your Kodi addons.

[@SamPipitone]

Hi Peter, I have just ordered and received the android box s-10 it is in a loop restart. I have tried the factory reset and no help is this box over or is there a new trick to add firmware or something? also if this box does return to working the kodi app is not visable ? its in there but in order to use it I have to reinstall kodi every time .

Great video Peter. Keep it coming. Learn a lot.

my android device is stuck on tryin to flash a different build everytime i load to android recovery menu it just starts burning the build again (in fact it loads to recovery mode on its own) how do i make is stop so i can use the menu again ?

[@TheTubeMeister]

+peter carcione i upgraded my android pro box with the h96 pro plus 7.1 firmware. Now my box wont boot up. ive tried reverting back to 6.0 and i get a green screen. Ive also tried to factory reset in the setting you show here. I need some help. Id appreciate it.

[@dorion9111]

You need to ensure you WIPE CACHE and DELVIK CACHE after a factory reset then reboot and wait 10 mins.. Also on A LOT of these boxes the RESET switch is in the AUDIO OUT JACK (Headphone Jack or on some A/V jack)

[@lookovka]

Simple, clear and precise explanation. Thanks

[@adeebahasan8429]

Hi Peter I have that same h96 pro plus recently bought it after watching your video, but in order to install a 3rd party SU, my device is stuck in the boot loop, where the MBOX logo shows continously, the reset button is not working for me either, plz suggest me what to do???

[@elmerprestidge7481]

I have an OMG DX4 android system that is stuck in the video addon page when I hit thr kodi tile . I can not get it to leave this page. Will using your reset method work for my unit also?

[@judithanncrighton5702]

Wow Peter love this video. The only things I don't like about this box are the unstable wi fi connectivity on my box compared with many other different boxes I own and the darkness. I was excited to hear you say you were going to do another video to sort that out. I'm looking forward to getting my box picture better. Thanks.

[@stephendevereux1542]

Hi Peter I have a Mxiii box, did the factory reset thing but stuck in a screen with Android bot just twirling . Been like that for hours. Tried resetting a few times but keeps coming back to the same screen, by passing the option recreen to reset to factory settings, any help much appreciated.

[@se7en5269]

Thanks for the continued tutorials and KZbin video uploads. They are always helpful. I've been a fan since about 30k subs and congrats on hitting 100k

Thanks. Still having fun with it.

[@TheTubeMeister]

+Peter carcione, I need help! my h96 pro plus freezes at random times. sometimes freezes at the logo screen or sometimes freezes while I'm watching a movie. I've updated the firmware and also did a hard reset but it's still doing the same thing. any ideas why this is happening?

[@PeterC408]

Does it seem to be thermal related? Like does it get hot. See if adding a heat sink changes anything. That is odd. Mine works pretty well

[@dangrus949494]

Peter thanks for the video. I have tried doing the reset but I can not even get the little android man to come up. TV just keeps saying no signal. I have the same box as in this video. I have tried on two different tv's with two different hdmi cables thinking it might be the cable. Have you run into this before? Thanks

[@PeterC408]

Do you have a 720P set or a 1080P set? Try a 1080P set and see if it comes up.... plug it into your computer monitor, just to be sure.

[@johnnymarcelin2796]

Thanks Mr Peter but I have an Verizon android box what has the same problem it doesn’t let me use the remote control to go up and down so I’d like to have your thoughts about that 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@sshortd]

What do you suggest if this still does not get it going. My box has the MBOX logo like you have in this video. I updated an app, it rebooted, and now it will not boot, I did a factory reset from recovery mode, i mounted, and reset like 5 times still nothing. Any suggestions? I have only seen one other video that show to wait for like 30 minutes while it loads other things. I am doing that now to see if that will do anything at all.

Sometimes you get a chance to recover them from a bad state but sometimes you do not.

[@ireneyo2699]

Hi we have a couple of different android boxes. Not sure which are the most up to date as I'm sure they are older models, and not sure how to install / program them, or which would be the best to use - we don't have a smart TV. These are the 3 that we have: MXIII 4K, Hi Media Q3 and ABox Pro 4K. Hopefully you can help with these. Note: Originally we had the ABox Pro 4K only using Netflix and the resolution was good; didn't try any other apps. However, just tried the Hi Media Q3 and was able to get to KZbin and Netflix but resolution not good. Also considering trying Amazon Prime. Not sure how all of this works? Suggestions?

[@PeterC408]

Netflix decided to remove support for many android boxes. If you want NetFlix, you need to go with: Nvidia, Amazon, Apple, Roku as preferred partners. Nvidia is my favorite but Amazon is the least expensive. Then you will have a good experience.

[@PeterC408]

Interesting... it could be a driver. Have you changed anything major, like re-flashed your firmware?

[@PeterC408]

Try a standard keyboard, just to put the driver thing to bed... if not, try a reset but that would be a last option.

[@Vulcan5911]

I had that happen with my Beelink GT1 Ultimate box. I got stuck in restricted mode for 4 days and couldn't figure a way to get out. I finally found a thread online where a bunch of people ran into the same problem with different boxes and someone posted a little video on how to fix it with a factory reset. First thing I had to do was pull the power source out of the box. Then taking a paperclip I had to push in and hold the reset button down. While still holding the reset button down I plugged the power source back into the back of the box and waiting for the little android dude to pop up on the screen with all the options. You can't just hold the reset button in when stuck in the restricted profile because it won't do anything. You have to unplug the power source, then hold the rest button in while plugging the power source back in and waiting for the Android guy to pop up. I had to do this a couple times to get it right but it worked.

[@Iamfreed1]

Christopher Steward I have the Beelink Gt1 Ultimate and am having the same problem. Thank goodness I found this because the customer service didn't seem to understand what I was talking about. Lol! I will try this once I get home!

[@Vulcan5911]

Kenneth Freed; lol I thought I was going to have to buy another one until I found this video. I was searching online for almost a week the day after i got it delivered. Nobody had answers. It was frustrating.

[@TomGeek1980]

How do you know if you're in "restricted mode" or not?

[@anna-kaygreen5957]

Chris it's not working for me tho

[@mycolbartlett764]

Yes, unplug the box power only, (*leaving the TV ON), and plug it back in while holding the paper clip IN on the reset button inside that tiny little hole usually found right next to the power in port on the back. >>> THEN, Once the info comes up on the TV Screen, you need to CAREFULLY READ it and follow the prompts. BE PATIENT DOING THAT AND LET THE TECH DO IT'S THING FOR YOU. Nobody mentioned that little detail. LOL :) > It might take a couple of tries too. It works though.

Great help!! This factory reset helped recover my Leelbox 8.1 TVBox MXQ Pro 4k, after I tried to do wireless update but power went off... Great work, Peter! Keep it up!!

[@ryachyna1588]

Thank you so much. I thought I bricked my box, followed your instructions and it worked great.

[@kattz753]

Thanks. I have a couple of cheap boxes and I wanted to try some alternative firmware. I did get into recovery mode but I couldn't figure out how to use volume up/down and power. I never thought to use the remote and I just left it for another day. Freaktab has a great community if you need firmware, tools or help. They are a bit more friendly for noobs than XDA.

[@KD-bz9qt]

Hey Peter, I'm having an issue maybe you can help with. My CS918 box will not keep the time, I have to go into settings each time turn box on and set time. I tried turning on location and it's not turning on. Even tried using Google maps to turn on location and still won't turn on location. When in settings under date & time when I do automatic date & time for my state it's always off by an hour or two. Wondering if you have any suggestions as to how to get correct day & time set. Thanks for sharing your bids, I've learned a lot from your vids. Keep sharing your knowledge with us newbies.

[@OutlawCaliber13]

Okay, so I have the MXQ Pro 4k. Just got it. Watched two movies, and now it won't go past the title page. So I went into the menu using the button inside the AV port. I did a factory reset, which worked, but still wouldn't load. Watched your video, and tried mounting the system. It said it failed, and "invalid argument." So, do I need to get firmware onto a USB, or did I just get luck of the draw with a pos that is now bricked?

[@PeterC408]

The title pages of a movie? Or the title page of the device booting? If it is the device, you may just have to give it more time. I have reset boxes before and they take a long time to recover. Give it a solid network connection (wired is best because it was reset) and give it several minutes to see if it can come back. If it is a movie title page, all is probably okay... just pick a different movie.

Just wondered if you had any further advice or suggestions for me. i would appreciate any advice you would have regarding this issue.

[@PeterC408]

Here is how I got mine going again kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGavZZuspdiEpK8 but it seems that this might be a salvage operation if it doesn't do anything at all. Have you tried a 1080P TV? Sometimes they are trying to output at 1080 and a 720 or 480P TV can not display it.

Peter, I have a H96 Ultra box I keep trying to get it to boot as per the video I watched. I've tried every step as you mentioned and I can't get the box to even boot at all. Just the power light is blue the whole time I hold in the pin. whether it's for 1 min or 10. nothing shows on the screen period. Tried as instructed but nothing works. I have just a blank screen that says No Signal. The only thing the box does is turn on and off. blue for on red for off. Is there something else that I could try. If so could you leave me a message. Thanks.

[@timezonewall]

Unfortunately most people don't realize not all boxes have a reset button. 95%+ do, but not all. I like you have one without a reset button, I opened the case even, it just isn't there. My understanding is you have to short out pins during power up on the NAND, and which pins varies depending on what NAND was used for your particular model.

[@RGSABloke]

That is indeed a good box but here is one that is worth taking a look at kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6nTmHSQd8aao6c It is an android TV and people are saying that it is even cheaper at Walmart. It is not the full google play store but much less restrictive than the Amazon PlayStore.

Hi Peter, I was wondering if I do a factory reset, will I have to uninstall all of the APPs that I have installed from the Google Play Store prior to the factory reset? The reason I ask is that I'm wondering if I had things installed, then wipe everything from the box, if I go to the Google Play Store it will think I still have the APPs installed and will be asking me to UnInstall them. Do you happen to know if this will happen if I don't uninstall everything prior to the factory reset? Thank you for your help! Sincerely, Kevin.

[@PeterC408]

Resets happen and google knows this. Once you do a factory reset, all will be gone including your account information.... factory reset means like it came from the factory... Once you sign in, Google will know all the things that you have purchased but you will have to redownload them. Does that help?

[@KSlatt0327]

Yes. Thank you! So, even any FREE APPs that you have downloaded will show up on Google Play Store as NOT installed after the reset (allowing you to just download them again and reinstall them FRESH)? I just want to be sure that I don't have a problem if I didn't uninstall everything (even the FREE APPs), prior to the Factory Reset.

I have a used V9 a friend gave me and I am stuck in ‘To start Android, enter your pin.’ I have tried pressing and holding the reset button for so long my hands ache. Unplugged and held button and plugged in continuing to hold. It boots normally and puts me on PIN screen.

Hi Peter. I received an android box for free from Verizon. It’s the Verizon stream tv box. It comes with its own interface and launcher which is really annoying so I downloaded tv launcher but Verizon has changed the settings of the box and I am not allowed to use the tv launcher as default or download Google tv launcher. My question is, do you think if I do this “toothpick hard reset” if I can get the box back to its original android stock settings/stock launcher(before Verizon put its own stuff in there)?The box only has power, hdmi and Ethernet ports. Maybe this could be a topic for a video since Verizon is giving away for free these boxes for people who sign up for gigabit speeds or 5G?;)Thank you. Any feedback highly appreciated!

Are we stuck with older outdated versions or ... can we update any android TV box 6.0 to oreo 8.1?

[@PeterC408]

No one is running Oreo yet. They just released the name a few days ago.

[@mycolbartlett764]

Ok What about an update for 6.0 to the next level up? 7.1 now is it? YES ... I have that in a newer box but have an older one also that still works great. Do I even need to update firmware to 7.1?

[@kishorekoli]

hi. Peter I have an question on updating firmware. I have an mxq android 4.4.2 quad player-xbmc. and I have an mx android 4.2.2. any suggestions for me. by the way, thanks for your videos. It really helps me and that's why I'm asking this question

[@PeterC408]

Firmware is specialized software that acts like a translator your hardware to the Operating System, in fact it usually comes tied to the Operating System (we think of getting new FW, as getting an upgraded OS). Because all hardware is different (Processors, RAM, Ports, Features) all firmware is different. Some providers are really good about updating their firmware (Nvidia comes to mind) and some will only release updated firmware if there is a major bug. Think about it.. It is dangerous to update your customers firmware... what is the risk and benefit for the company? There may or may not be new firmware for your box. I would check the manufacturers website and look in the support section for a new posting... you might get lucky... but most likely the manufacturer is hoping that you will buy a new box go get new OS support.

Thanks for answering my question

Sometimes this can bring your box back from the dead... other times it just confirms that it has passed.
