Yes, but you'll need to provide the vendor partition separately since twrp won't back it up :)

Ok the twrp backup is available on the freaktab thread, but unfortunately I am an eternal newb so you'll have to explain to the user robi217 how to get vendor partition. Sorry I can't be more helpful than that :-(

Hello! So it was me who made the TWRP backup. Unfortunately I can't make a backup of the vendor parttion since my TV box is bricked now, but I've got a firmware file from Alfawise. I'm downloading it now and try to flash it. If it is ok for you I'll upload the firmware file to Google Drive and send you the link :)

Here it is:

I can confirm it works since I've succesfully unbricked my TV box with that (after 4 days of messing with other firmwares).

But anyway, I don't think this box (Alfawise A9) is a standard S905 one, since it didn't work with any of the S905, S905X and S905W firmwares. S905 firmwares stopped at downloading DDR actually, and S905/S905W firmwares stopped at download U-Boot. So i don't know if this FW should work with any other box out there :/
