Hello all
this time I'm really really stuck.
I have this box:

http://www.mario-sz.com/product/Priv...e-Q1-905W.html 8gb/1gb

The website shows that the unit is equipped with the S905w,but the actual chipset, under the heathsink, it's a S905X

The print on the PCB shows S905XQ4_V1.0 (Probably 4th quarter , since the date is 2017.11.23)

The units prior to the incorrect upgrade was running Android 7.x.x and on a P281 board

I tried several IMG using burning tools, but the flashing procedure, hangs at 7%

The unit will only go in recovery mode using an SD card with nhg47l/20180313

I'm not able to apply any update via EXT , either SD or USB.

I connected at TTL interface to the unit, so I'm able to use the internal software.

At this point I would like to simply restore the OS to anything more fancy than a black screen.

I need a file to reinstall the recovery mode and then the OS when the unit is booted from the SD CARD,

Please check https://pastebin.com/RC26DzXB for the output

Thank you in advance

I was able to get the unit back, using the original firmware, but I believe I'm not able to flash the unit with the atvxperience rom.
Any suggestion?

KE, I have a unit with exactly the same problem. I am glad I found your posts--I thought I was going crazy! Would you be able to share the IMG you received from the manufacturer? I want to bring my unit back from dead. Thank you in advance!

You will need to reboot to a linux build and backup your uboot and ddr partitions. That way, you can simply just port atvx by using your stock uboot and ddr.
