I even changed the file name to Install.img but still it did not work. may be Iam doing wrong. Can you help me how do I downgrade to old stock ?
    File I downloaded from this site was detected immediately ---

    Thanks buddy,
    I think its the same recovery file provided by Zidoo official page, post this installation When I tried to force update 6.30.60 version device refused to accept it.

    Is it possible to get older recovery image? I really really need this file.
    The reason is stupid, out of the box this device and HDMI In actually outputting audio to my soundbar, I was getting DYS :X and Atmos flawlessly.
    That's why I wanna go back to birth of this device.

    Thanks a ton Buddy,
    Correct me if I am doing it wrong,
    1-I downloaded both files and put them together in a USB Fat32 drive,
    2- I plugged USB Drive into 3.0 Port of Z9X,
    3- I pressed Reset button with pin and at the same time I powered on Device.
    Still I only see a frozen logo Zidoo and nothing moves from here. Am I making any mistake here?
    In previous attempt ai changed large file name to Install.img still device did not detect it.

    What is correct method?
    I am sorry for bothering you again n again :(

    Zidoo Z9X, Z9S, X9S Emergency Flash Procedure
    ========================================
    1. Copy file to empty FAT32 USB stick. Do NOT unzip it

    2. Rename file to "install.img"

    3. Turn off player using switch on back

    4. Plug USB into USB 3.0 Port (a blue one)

    5. Press and hold reset button on back (X9S) or left (Z9S, Z9X) with something pointy while applying power

    Use the sha256 file to verify the file integrity. Please post images like mine of Windows Explorer with plugged in USB stick

    Attached 3 screenshot for your reference,
    I tried , Single large file in USB , didn't work.
    I tried both file with name change and unchanged, didn't work either.
    Is my file verify method correct ? I dragged both files in PowerShell windows.

    Since the file system is case-sensitive, please name the file install.img and delete the sha256 file

    checked and renamed properly , still screen stuck on Zidoo Logo, McBluna My humble Thanks to you for replying to my each message and providing me help. But Dont know why its not working from my end!
    The file which I had downloaded from Zidoo official was above 1.2 GB and file you shared with me is 700 MB. Could there be any extra things in recovery file? Can you try yourself whether file is correct?
    Changing USB drive I doubt will make any difference, last thing I can do is re-download file again.
    Thanks a ton again !!

    had the same issue, changing port solve the problem. However the 2 roms don't work anymore on the Z9X, screen is black after each completed installation. Works fine with v6.4.42 and v6.3.92
    Don't except 3D MVC with theses version however

    If anyone happen to have a recovery image before v6.1.05 I'll take it :)
