AmLogic Bricked Boxes Recovery

There are many Tutorials/ Post available related to recovery of dead /Hard Bricked Amlogic devices regardless how they reached to this (well mostly are because of wrong software or interruption during Updates or some thing like that ) here is general step by step Tutorial to recover or at least a try to recover the dead Amlogic boxes ..please remember it’s a general not specific to any particular box so here are the steps

You need Amlogic USB burning Tool ( Any latest Version I use 2.1.7 & 2.1.6 both worked Fine )

1. Amlogic world cup device driver (This V2.1.6 & 2.1.7has the World Cup drivers embedded in the install package.)

2. I use Windows Xp SP3 PC as there almost no driver issues there

3. Now Open the box cover & look at the main board this is very important to see the main board version to find the exact factory image or flash file if you already have one or downloaded one it’s good but if don’t then try to find similar main board working firmware, board matching is the real trick here no matter who’s the manufacturer or what version is installed if hardware is same it will work.

4. After the Installation Open the Amlogic USB burning tool from start menu & load the image

5. As it’s hard bricked so it wouldn’t be shown or connect when ever you try to connect it by regular method . Now there is force method I have tried this for Main boards having Samsung KLMxGxJENB-B041 series emmc flashes & it works.

6. Now Look at the arrow printed on left in the bottom of emmc at main board of the box, there is pin 1 of emmc don’t do any thing here you have to use pins on the opposite or upper side in my case of emmc ( marked by white line) as shown in Picture start counting pins here now short the pins 8& 9 as shown in the picture on board some boards will connect shorting pin 5&6 & connect one male cable to Box & Other to PC you will see a pop up window showing world cup device installed ..The Amlogic Usb tool will show now the connected device leave the pin you shorted as it's done here

7. After you see device connected press the start button ..before that be assure in configuration bar there is “ Normal Erase “ selected

8. After Start the blue bar will start in status & it will finish in 3to 4 minutes hopefully your box is alive again here are the Picture attached of the process completion

9. Formatting

10. Completed
