MXQ Pro + 4K S905 2GB/16GB Recovery



I had previously bricked my MXQ Pro + 4K S905 2GB/16GB with a bad flash. I bought this box from Everbuying (http://www.everbuying.net/product1164624.html). It would hang at the Bootscreen logo and the toothpick method had no response when attempting to boot into recovery mode while plugged into the TV.

I was finally able to recover the box!

Get a Male to Male, USB-A to USB-A cable to plug the box into your computer.

(I can't seem to find where exactly I found this particular version, I've spent hours over several days attempting to recover the box and have lost track of that particular tab)

Launch USB Burning tool 2.0.7
-Select the second drop down menu and select English
-Plug one end of the USB cable into your computer
-(Do not use the power cable for the box, It can boot and run off of just the USB cable) Use the toothpick method to press the reset button inside of the AV hole in the back and plug the other end of the USB cable into USB-4 on the MXQ box (This is the only port that allowed USB Burning Tool to recognize my box) It only took a couple seconds for USB Burning tool to recognize my box. You can then release the reset button.
-Select the File drop down menu and select "Import Image"
-Select "aml_upgrade_package0429.img"
-Click the "Start" button (I did not change any settings, the erase flash/normal erase and erase bootloader check boxes were already selected)
-After 5-6 seconds the timer stopped and I received an error message stating something about the bootloader (sorry I forget exactly what it said) Do NOT hit "STOP" or anything else!
-Unplug the MXQ box and Plug it back in while holding the reset button with a toothpick again. At this point the USB Burning Tool should automatically restart the install sequence and complete it without any errors. It took about three and a half minutes with my computer. When it was done I simply unplugged it from the computer and hooked it up to my TV.

I have the box hooked back up to my TV in what appears to be full working order.

I hope this helps people.
