Hi. I tried flashing this rom with sd card to my Docooler M9s pro s905x box. Upgrading screen came up but there was no progress. I tried with Mxq pro build, it was succesfully flashed but stuck on atvxperience boot logo. What should i do? Can i do anything with amlogic customization tool. If anyone can help me i will be very happy. My stock firmware link is here: https://mega.nz/#!6N4TwKAI!7Gt28mgv5...NgJ2i2a813ja5U

I cannot install this atvexperince rom in my box. Kindly assist.
My device:
https://www.docooler.com/p-v1880eu-16g.html
Desc: Docooler M9S-PRO Smart Android TV Box Android 6.0 Amlogic S905X Quad Core UHD 4K 2G / 16G Mini PC WiFi H.265 VP9 DLNA Miracast HD Media Player EU Plug
I have tried all atvexperince roms:
- atvXperience_s905x_v2E .rar (https://mega.nz/#!rNQFEAoR!Z92NUn2A0Ssx ... QK2lAKQB0I)
- S905X_atvXperience_2FF 1G+2G .rar (https://mega.nz/#!KUAyRKjJ!3hALO7dkuyFd ... 8q0HYiMbYs)
- atvXperience_S905X_V2H_FINAL.img (https://mega.nz/#F!4ooV2SwK!uTaJXehX7_u ... w?MgASXSwa)
I have prepared the sd card for above roms with burning tool. I then insert the SD Card and press the reset button with a toothpick and insert the power plug in this box. I can see that the box is trying to flash this image momentarily and then the screen becomes completely blank and it remains like that forever. The blue light in the box remains lit all the time.
What is working:
- It runs Stock rom “build_hx_s905x_Nougat_256x4_528m_20171030_1134_ZNT_2017110107”
- It runs armbian debian stretch from SD card. (image: Armbian_5.68_Aml-s9xxx_Debian_stretch_default_4.19.13_desktop_20190110.img). dtb used - meson-gxl-s905x-p212.dtb
I know this box has 1GB of ram and NOT 2GB as advertised.

I have tried my times to install different software versions on the site for the s905x box with no luck.
On this box the reset button is through the SPDIF port and the USB 4 is used to upgrade.
Using the USB method i get stopped everytime at 7 percent.
I have also read that although it is advertised as being a 2x16g box, it is really a 1x16g box. I have tried the 1g 2ff version at least 20 times and get stopped a 7 percent each and everytime.
Anyone have any ideas?

Let us know if you are able to install atvexperince in this box. I have a few of this and had never been able to install this rom and had the same experience as you had.
By saying that I did not try what " em3ka" is suggesting.

In recent bootloader versions, the HW-Partition handling (boot0 and boot1) has been changed, a fastboot support for eMMC and Nand added, etc., since apparently many gxl devices have problems with it. The first installation can therefore be up to 10min. take longer than usual. Have you waited enough? Please post the installation log.

UPDATE
Now I have not one, but two bricked boxes while trying to install the DDR version.
With the SD card installed and pushing the reset button, I applied power and saw the S905X symbol, then the Android Icon, then poof, blank screen and no lights, not a blue light or even a red light. Nothing, and the remote will not turn it on.
So now I have two paper weights.
Any ideas how to unbrick this device?
