The following Flashing Process is about ZIDOO X9S, attaching ZIDOO X9S TV BOX:

First, do some preparation:

① A ZIDOO X9 TV BOX, one HDMI cable, A TV set (You kept surely, do not say any more);

② a quite fine needle, you can use other finer tools instead of it, such as toothpick, etc. ( In order to hold down the Reset button );

③U disk, ensuring that it is as below the format of FAT32;

④A Needle, which can access to reset button



At the beginning, y
you need to download the ROM(http://www.mediafire.com/file/fye1lykeqm9hadd/install-ZIDOO_X9S-v1.4.12-201708181828-USB.img) and rename to "install.img";
then copied to the Root Directory of the Udisk you’re ready, not other files.

Then, insert U disk into one of USB2.0 port, as shown below red line mark.





Flash your box now: First,press the reset button then turn on the power by the same time,



while you have connect to TV, the TV will show the schedule,

proved that you are flashing now,(If not shown or have a green screen, is a normal phenomenon, don't power off either,just wait for 10 minute until the vfd shows "hello")



this flash process about two minutes ) , after finishing flashing will showed you install completed,



then it will enter the system automatically(It will be a little longer for the first

time, about 2 minutes),

is there a difference of "your root" and the "lony root"?
sorry for this non correct technical question.
i am asking because the "lony root" had some problems what i read here in this forum

 

WHAT ROOT ? this is a guide on how to flash the box

 

Read the Thread before you posting And there is no lonys root and this root have not a problem, do you understand.

For you and your brain, this here is a Safe Mode Flash with an full image, specialist!

 

Root directory of the U disk. Again grummel show his stupidity¡

 

i feel bad for her now...

 

funny guys
on another thread for rooting the device there had been a link to this one here to download and flash a prerooted flashimage
now this message and the link is gone
funny for this
i did one fault not to reply on the original posting
now my posting is naturally totally wrong here
i can understand

 

The procedure described here is the emergency method (PIN-procedure) when the system has become unstable. It will factory reset all data and settings.

For a normal upgrade follow the standard menu upgrade described with FW 1.2.4 today.

Most if not all Android based media players offer both methods to be used as preferred/needed.

 

hi and very sorry to butt in but do i wait for the update to come out then do the OTA method sorry again for button in but im very new and only received my x9s a week ago but any help very much appreciated

 

http://www.zidoo.tv/Support/guide/g...e_faq/CN6lY0XMyIg=/faq_page/9nCdOWqz+dw=.html , you will use this guide. once the archive is posted

 

hi and really appreciate your reply but that link you sent me to only tells me how to do the update which im very grateful for but where do i get the update to put on a usb stick please and thank you

 

it will be posted soon here: http://forum.zidoo.tv/index.php?threads/new-firmware-v1-2-4-for-zidoo-x9s-coming-soon.2978/ . it is not out yet

 

i can not thank you enough very much appreciated

 

i would like to know have you got to unrar the zip file or leave it as it is please any nelp much appreciated

 

You may simply move the entire archive as-is straight to the usb drive.

I do recommend doing an extra MD5 checksum test just to validate the archive is 100% correct.
That way you are very sure you got a valid copy. But it should work just fine without doing this.

 

all sorted thank you and much appreciated

 

Hi all, I've tried to flash the box by following this instruction but it ignores everything and boots to UI. USB Flash drive is definitely FAT32 formated and inserted into USB2 port(tried both ports), file name is correct, install.img is the only file on the disk.

 

Where have you downloaded IMG file?
Which is the original filename (before the rename)?

 

When and where can we have the .img version? Need to flash the box when necessary. I don't think it difficult to build.

 

I've downloaded the archive v1.2.3_img.zip from the first post and extracted the install.img file
