This is a great short video on the fundamentals of programming these Android TV boxes! A+

Brilliant video, 1st time I've had it explained in easy to understand language

Well explained tutorial Peter, clear, simple, and straight to the point. Thank you

Great instructional video in an easy to understand format. Thanks.

I know this is old but, I would not be looking if i did not have an old box. I would like to commend you on your ability to have told those of us that being smart and not doing stupid things is good in many cases. Thanks,

Peter, very good video on the power supply I have two H9 Pro+ boxes and have had to replace the power supply on both. Thank you for all you do us.

Yes, whenever the problem seem to move around it is usually the power supply. I had one with flickering video the other day, I tested the power supply and it was way off under load.

@@PeterC408 First thing i did was buy a 5A/ 5000 ma New supply. In 3 years never anymore power supply fail! Thank you for all your post! But the OEM power supply is a Fail/problem waiting to happen. Bet a lot of GOOD boxes are trashed over a bad wall supply. It's not always works or dead. I seen voltage swings and low MA output. If you add anything to the Box the supply is Maxed out. As with anything if you run at 90%+ of capacity it will not last long.

Peter you are the man👍

I wish I found this video before I bricked my box. I factory reset my device only for it to get stuck on the boot logo. Unknowingly I went and flashed a firmware to "fix" the issue. Great video - learnt a lot

Excellent video sir! Thank you for the referral from the other video too! This is very helpful.

Great video sir! I just wanted to say It's far easier to utilize adb and fastboot commands via terminal in Linux or even cmd in windows to install updates. Adb sideload is drag and drop and most Android oems offer the updates that can be flashed through two commands

Thanks for the tips. I just tried to do a reset on a X99 Mini (stuck in splash screen) and it doesn't work - pressing reset does nothing - just a blank screen and this is a new box (only a couple o months old). Tried the same in my old box and it works - so, I know I'm doing it right. Is there any other trick to try to reset the X99 at hardware level? I'll open it for a look-see, but I suspect I got myself a new paper weight.

Hey Peter can you explain what those other choice's on the list mean and if they would ever get used.

Anywayt you can do a video on upgrading the Mecool BB2 Pro to 7.1 if possible

Hello Peter, would you know how to upgrade the firmware of T9 to version 9 pie. I would really appreciate the walk through.

Hi Peter, I have two identical Android Box T95ZPlus and I've downloaded the TWRP image file for this model. When I boot in recovery mode with one of the boxes with the file on a SD card it brings me right into recovery mode where I can perform a BACKUP, RESTORE, WIPE, etc........ When I try to do this on the 2nd unit, it will not go into recovery mode at all, stops at the model's LOGO screen and just stays there. I remove the SD card with the Recovery.img file from this unit and now, holding the reset button and powering it up gets me to the Android Recovery mode but not the same as the first. This one brings me in to the Recovery where my choices are: Reboot System Now, Reboot to Bootloader, Apply Update from EXT, so on and so on. All I want to do is be able to do a backup of this second unit and restore it to the first T95ZPlus. It seems with the 2nd unit, I presently can't find a way to create a back-up of it. THANKS in advance for your help or anyone else that can shed some light on this.

@PeterC408

I do not know of such a release nor do I expect one. Most Android boxes are designed for a particular OS release and never intend on upgrading... You get what you get. Nvidia and Amazon are a bit different... they released a marketplace where they hope to sell you things... like movies, games and channels. For that reason, they keep updating the OS to control the user experience and make their support lives easier. H96Pro+ is only hoping to sell you a new box when you want to get one... they have no incentive to keep you up to date.

I followed your solid instructions. Once reboot done after factory reset, now in never ending loop that cannot be interrupted by mouse, keyboard or remote. Any suggestions please?

Peter I’ve got an old pine64 what can I do with it. Maybe something for the kids

Thanx, mate!

Alright, I know this isn't exactly an Android box, but it probably functions exactly the same. One of my phones is full of trojans (my brother was pretty dumb) and factory resets aren't enough to erase them because the system files got infected. Is reinstalling its firmware and switching to stock Android a good idea?

I am looking at purchasing a Sunvell T95Q Android box can I keep the same firmware I meant Android box permanently because I'm seeing a lot of people changing their firmware on Android boxes that's why I'm asking

X96 Max I found the reset button in A/V port. Unplugged the power and pushed the rest button and held 10 seconds and plugged in the power. Held the reset 10 seconds after the power cord was installed and released. The logo came back on in the frozen state ??? Frustrating. What else can I try???

In TV box to go to android recovery we have to press and hold rest button and insert power cable to TV box .....after 10 counts release reset button? We will get the recovery options on screen? Correct?

Thanks for the Info, I had Always wondered about this, as I have a Box that is Android 6.1 and I have been told that I can upgrade it to 7.1 or higher but it will cost me $$$$$. IMO I would think that these boxes "Should" be able to upgrade the OS like any PC/Laptop. I also have a Android Tablet, that I would think should be able to be Upgrade able as well. Know knowing this about the boxes, I will look harder/smarter into that too. once again Thanks for this info and a great Video as always.

In my experience you can usually get 1 upgrade on the cheap Chinese boxes and even then it's not coming from the manufacturer. It's possible your Android 6 box was being sold as Android 5 last year and they've already done the upgrade. Just like with phones there comes a cut-off point for upgrades.

What do I do if I am stuck on the recovery screen. I have no idea how my Android tv box restarted on this recovery screen on its own, I did not touch any rest button or do anything differently. And after googling several links I have tried to do the factory reset but then I can’t get past this it does reset and then I can’t get out of this screen no other screen come up or I can’t get into any kind of other boot up screen. Please help. I am definitely not the most technical savvy so I’m hoping that it’s something I can try and repair myself that is not too complicated

New to the channel Pete looking to gain some great knowledge

I did something wrong, I have tried to update firmware for my Mecool BB2 Pro TV Box to Android 7.1.1 that was installed on an SD card, failed massage while updating under android recovery , clicked on reboot system now then device toped working (only the blue power led on is on without showing anything on screen and tried to press the button but nothing happened )

Does anyone know the size of power supply plug size? I have a few box's and and they all seem to be the same power supply plugs. Is it a 5.5mm/2.1mm are a 5.5mm/2.5mm. The original power supplies seem to be about the same and cheaply made. I would like to try a slightly better made one and hopefully it would last longer.

Hi, I have a t95z plus. How can I reset the restriction profile!

I have the T95Z Plus Android 12.0 TV Box. Was booting to Home Screen like it should. Now boots to KODI. I attempted the reset as done here. My Android box will not power on while holding the reset button and power at the same time. My version does not have a power button so I use the remote controls on/off button.

My Docooler M9S-Pro keeps locking in the "Android is starting" Mode at "optimizing app" (Random app number) I tried updating firmware a bunch of times using the PC and USB cable. I cant get it to boot up past that screen. I tried the wipe user data steps you mentioned, but still get stuck in that screen. Any ideas? I cant find the original OS anywhere to flash it back either if anyone has the Docooler M9S-PRO 32gb Firmware please let me know... Thanks!

Afternoon/morning Peter, Great vid and thanks. My issue goes a bit deeper and wondering if you have any advice.. T95z plus No.1: we had two power cuts in quick succession and TV box is now stuck in perpetual 'boot'. Presents the animated logo, but nothing else. T95z plus No.2: purchased new TV box and low and behold, electric switched off (doing a bit of wiring in the house) and the new box was also stuck in 'boot' and some times, no display on the box at all. Just the blue light from inside. By dumb luck, T95z plus No.2 went into recovery mode after powering it off/on may times. I was able to factory reset and all is well. I decided to see if I could save T95z plus No.1, but I am stuck. I only today discovered the reset button in the AV port, but when I press and hold while powering on, the box doesn't boot at all and has no lights. Just a quick flicker of the hex-halo when the power is inserted. I have tried the new power cable and variations of when I press the reset button, but no change. Just stuck at 'boot'. Is it bricked beyond repair?. Thanks again and love from Ireland

Sorry for the long delay, we had a death in the family and time was lost. The T95z looks like it does support a new build of Android 12 but it is an older processor. How do you have so many of them? Try holding the button when applying power. Changing power supplies is a good idea. If it doesn't work, it could be just dead. There are so many great boxes. Make sure to get one that will keep updated: Roku, NVidia, Amazon. Those will work for years.
