Zidoo Z9x brick?

It refers to the terminal you connect to the UART. You can use something like Hyper Terminal but PuTTY is easier to use.

 

HI,
I bought a used ZIDOO Z9X
I can't get into the settings menu anymore.
It asks me for the password but it doesn't recognize the one I enter,
it keeps giving me "incorrect password".
How do I reset it?
I tried with the procedure in post #13, paying attention to the procedure, but absolutely nothing happens.
IF I try to change the PW, it asks me for the old one (what a phenomenon! if you tell me it's incorrect...)
and so I find myself like a dog chasing its tail...turning on itself endlessly...
HELP HELP HELP
THANKS
Rudy

 

The only way I can think to fix this is to reflash, but if, as you say ,"absolutely nothing happens" when you do that, you're doing it wrong.

Presumably you used the correct firmware and didn't try to use the Z10 firmware shown in post 13.

How to flash Z9X

Hi,
can you tell me what the latest FW version is?

I get " v6.3.92 " SW updated? And the FW?

I ask because after the reset I did
they suggest I update the FW...

But how do you update the FW...directly on the ZIDOO Z9X
from the internet?
Or do I have to use a flat32 USB stick?

Thanks
Rudy

 

Hi,
I found this guide >>>https://www-zidoo-tv.translate.goog...g=.html?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=it&_x_tr_hl=it <<< and I downloaded the FW from >>> https://www.mcbluna.net/wp/zidoo-model-overview/zidoo-z9x-firmware-download/#v6.4.42 <<<. I wanted to know how safe it is to download the "version 6.4.68 beta" Official Download of 07/26/2024 and, above all, how much it would improve ZIDOO Z9X compared to 6.4.42 of 10/18/2022

Thanks
Rudy
