X9S HOW TO FLASH ZIDOO X9S UNIT

I've solved the issue. For those who facing the same issue:

1. Connect USB TTL adapter to your box UART port
2. Connect to COM port provided by your USB TTL adapter with putty or hyper terminal
3. Start your box, press and hold space button
4. After a prompt appears insert your pendrive and type "usb refresh" then type "goru"

After that, a flashing process starts if you have 4 additional files on your pendrive from the solution above in this thread.

 

hi, i`m new here
want to flash my X9S coz my remote did not work at all, first time i got this box, the remote did not work but the remote itself i think have no issue coz the led is blink when i touch any button
update it local with 1.4.12, still did not work, but somehow when i just used it suddenly the remote work just for 2-3days used
but now it wont work again, never do a flash to X9S before, but i read somewhere someone have the same problem too but after doing a flashing, the problem solved
so i want to know which firmware is very stable for me to use
thanks

edit:
have flashed it with v.1.4.12 then update local with v.1.4.16 and at last with v.1.5, locally too
poster wall is bad in scanning, got so many wrong poster especially for tv shows
back using ZDMC for the library poster, but too bad cannot hide movie that already seen
and its very uncomfortable for tv shows coz i see a lot of tv shows
and cannot resume too when use external player

 

Hi everybody.
Just tried to flash my X9S. While everything was going ok, all of the sudden a fatal error message appeared on the TV before the installation completed.
Now, the box just powers into "boot" and stays like that for hours. Any ideas?

 

Hi Zidoo Tech.
Could you please release the "install.img" file for version 1.5.0? Thanks.

 

In the meanwhile, you can flash an old FW version in "emergency recovery" way (somewhere there is a page/post explaining how), then you fan do a manual update to 1.5.0.

 

Hi,

I already tried. It doesn't respond at all.

The box just powers into "boot" and stays like that for hours. If I power it up while pressing the reset button in the back, the display reads "Up".

I followed all the steps mentioned here http://forum.zidoo.tv/index.php?threads/how-to-flash-zidoo-x9s-unit.2959/page-5#post-28733, but it didn't work. I even tried 4 different usb sticks.

I really don't know what else to do. I've contacted Zidoo Service, but no response yet.

 

That would be great

 

Can we also use this for a bricked/stucked at UP__, Zidoo X8? Which files do I need to download? Help please! I miss my X8.

 

my device also have nothing problem before i trying too flash it
just wanna have the experience to flash this box
i also got this box with the broken IR reciever, before that i was think it have some bug so i tried to flash it to fixed it, eventually it just a broken IR reciever

but when i flash it i dont bricked my box, i just follow the step by step instruction
use a 7Gb formated FAT32 flashdisc
put the stock rom "install-ZIDOO_X9S-v1.4.12-201708181828-USB" image in my flashdisk and plug it in usb port
push the reset button with needle then plug the power adapter, flash it successfully

after that i update it too locally with v.1.4.16 and at last with v.1.5.0

v.1.4.12 (MD5: 0A906B46340A1BF8FA6A79C3DA199491)
v.1.4.16 (MD5: 30765E28372AE2A718FC96591D0431EF)
v.1.5.0 (MD5: D98CE3C592E636E179B7A0F4CAADD547)

 

Yes, about 10 times, with 4 different usb sticks.

The box just powers into "boot". If I press the reset button in the back while powering it on, the display just reads Up.

I've contacted Zidoo Service several times, but unfortunately haven't heard back yet.

 

have you check the hash key (MD5) i gave it to you
i dont kbow this gonna help or not, i use the last usb2.0 port in the right side of this device
or maybe you can also try the usb3.0 port

 

You need the install.img file to flash it.

The MD5 is just the latest firmware. Can't flash it with that.

 

coz it is an android, maybe you still need to change the .zip file with update.zip
and boot with reset button too

 

I'm sorry,

I don't understand what you mean

 

sorry, what i mean is, in other device usually we have to change the filename to "update.zip"
so the system can recognize it and do the flash thing
for example, if you download the rom "OTA-ZIDOO_X9S-v2.0.5-201801221520.zip"
basicly we just paste the file in flashdisk and plug it in to the device and boot or already boot it before
and do the update with local option
but since your device is in bootloop status, so maybe you just can do the flash with hold the reset button and switch on the device
and the rom file in your flashdisk shoul be rename it to update.zip
give it a try, hope your device get normal again

or maybe you have the wrong install.img file
i got the v.1.4.12 from here

This process doesn't work downgrading from 2.0.10 unofficial firmware.

 

You use this methody above if something goes wrong and you use the below method to lower your firmware. https://www.zidoo.tv/Support/support_guide/guide_target/7WjcmduqUFZKKmVViAFMcQ==.html

 

Just managed with the official method ;-)

 

Yes

 

Thanks for sharing.
