These are the ones I tried yesterday but nothing

[kevinho040]

What's the success percentage of this method btw?

60% I'd say.
UART flashing is 100%

Can you explain me how to flash it over UART? I bought the UART adapter.

You probably are just not shorting the Pins correctly...

Guide:
1) turn PC on
2) open Amlogic USB Burning Tool version 2.1.7.0 or newer
3) pick and load stock Firmware to be installed with Tool
4) click START inside Tool with Erase Flash and Erase Bootloader both checked
5) attach one side of USBa cable to PC's USB 2.0 port, use rear port if using a tower pc
6) attach other side of USBa cable to X96 device USB-OTG port
7) with small wire or small metal Tool create short between circled Pins, short should be held for only 1 second and released and the PC will beep and start installing firmware.

Are you doing those steps I mentioned above, if not try again following Guide exactly.

As for UART, if you are not familiar with Putty software and sending files over networks. It can be confusing to a Noob, so for easiest method try and try again with Pin-Shorting to get PC to recognize your device.

So I manage to pull off the short method 3x after a lot of tries, 1 time the usb burning tool froze, 2 times I got this error and my box stuck at 3% all the time.

Any help?

Possible "Low-power" error and you need to plug DC barrel cable into device after PC recognizes it and device is shown inside USB Burning Tool.

Thanks! I still got no sound that’s how my problem started.(over hdmi and optical) but it’s alive again!

You know any good custom firmware for this box?

Try Xanytech from FreakTab forum, I believe he made a good firmware for X96 Max.

Maybe you need to use different hdmi cables or change settings inside the TV for sound.

Xanytech

I tried stock android 8.1, stock android 9.0, custom firmware from freaktab but nothing. It’s hardware failure.

In hdmi and optical 0 sound. When I connect to my Bluetooth soundbar I got sound....
