Hi!
Is it possible to do a complete backup/restore of the firmware for a RK3328 based A5X Max Android 9.0 TV Box using adb from a windows/linux computer? I just want to keep the original firmware somewhere safe in case I brick the box later.
--
do you know where I can find version 9.0? I have 8.1 and I can not find it anywhere

Sorry to hear that mate but looks like no root yet for your box or you can try this.
magiskmanager is another rooting tool like supersu.
did you put the usb cable into the usb by your power supply that's the flash usb port.

No luck with magiskmanager. Parsing error when trying to install. Got RKBatchTool to recognize the box tho. Guess I'll just wait to see if a rom becomes available

The rom you pm'd me only bricked my box...blue light for a brief moment, no input detected on screen....
None of those OG firmwares from the above post are working to restore it either...get android splash screen for a brief moment and then red light with no input detected. Any suggestions m8?
EDIT: The Dec 20th 2017 Nougat 7.1.2 rom has been accepted by the box and all seem to be working....better than nothing I guess

I am sorry mate to hear that mate but I never had a problem with it. I must havetried about 10 different ones and I always got back to my factory firmware. It doesn't brick it mate they just don't boot up that's all. With that oero rom the blue light is off and red is on if you left power off for 2 mins after first boot it should have booted up.

well I executed the .bat file while my device was connected and it had some type of problem /error. also my tablet never reboots.
with the other versions or files that I downloaded it would say error device not found.
when I connect my tablet to my computer, I have to tap enable sd storage in order to mount my tablet sd cards as removable media.

I found some more usb options after reading this article: http://www.random-host.com/blogs/enable-media-device-mtp-usb-mode-android-44-kitkat-and-50-lollipop
so my device has three usb options
1: media device (MTP)
2: Camera (PTP)
3: Mass Storage
I tried the TPSparkyRoot .bat file with all three and it always say error device not found or something like that.
Hmm, I will see if I can find someone that can jump in and help.

yes I did try a different USB port. when I do plug it into the port, it does this action for the first two options, it installs one driver called K7 and searches windows update and fails for another with the same name.
I hope that makes sense to you
Since I can not link anything outside of xda, try to Google mobo and vroot or Google "dragon touch k7 root" there are a couple different pages/links to look at. I haven't been able to find anything else that is helpful in xda

Before you start any actions to modify the phone, you should get it repaired by the vendor. Its not even a year since the model was released, so you should have still guarantee on it.

Bump! unlock your bootloader, then you will be able flashing roms via recovery. BUT its really risky if your phone has no working USB port as you cant flash the stock firware if something goes wrong.

In this case your phone probably is updated to the latest firmware, which removes all fastboot commands (I found this yesterday when I had the opportunity to use a patch from the last update). We had a discussion on the matter in the Info about OTA updates thread.

Is there a solution to root the 6039s version of the Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3 now?

Got myself in a bind. Bought a new Note 5 today to upgrade to 64GB. Forgot to OEM unlock, and the phone is bricked for the moment. The new image N920TUVU3DPG1 isn't available to download yet. Any suggestions, or does anyone know where the new image can be found yet? What a rookie mistake! Smart Switch in emergency recovery tries to flash N920TUVU2DPD1 and fails. Downgrading doesn't work either.

You have to make sure you have the correct firmware! You should be able to see which one is already on the phone while in recovery mode.

Hope u fixed ur problem, I'm still on Note 4, was waiting for u to fix the new firmware for us last month, and now we just got another one, so shocked Samsung is actually taking care of the Note 4 N910T,
My rom boots up, but can't see sim card, external storage, wifi doesn't connect and so forth, I guess they did something with the new MM that @dsixda kitchen doesn't work correctly somewhere anymore,
need to learn Ubuntu, not easy with no help,,, I made an external drive with 16.04 but need to java development and figure the rest out, not easy with 2 kids.. and wifey..
and u r also in FL, by the way thanks for the updater script for the past v5.1.1 roms we had...
Samsung keeps raising prices on these phones, ridiculous no reason the new Note 7 will be $849 cause they r only making egde style phones.
I'm glad they pushed me to my limits, first it was HTC, I had all the HTC phone till M7, for when they had the first tmobile dash windows phone.. haha..
don't know whats next, maybe crapple... no rush since the note 4 is still rocking good,
but the Note 7, water resistence is awesome is the only kool thing I guess.
Seems like I'm having the same problem frp lock and drk has anyone found a solution yet. I can't seem to find any way to fix this yet. Appreciate any help in advance
I could help with this issue, just let me know if you need my assistant I would have to remotely do this to accomplish this thanks..
Hello all,
I did a big mistake, I wanted to go back from DP 3 to Android 11 and once I was going to do the CMD steps, I downloaded the wrong Firmware for the Pixel 5
I didnt see that mistake until I started the steps and the phone turned off and did not turn on anymore.
I know I made a big mistake, but can I do to revert this? I try to restart the phone but nothing, not via power button for 10 or 20 or 30 sec.
Please help

Mine bricked about a month ago and Google suggested uBreakiFix. They tried to do a force flash on it but it didn't work. They ended up replacing the motherboard which fixed it, but now my proximity sensor is always on. I don't know if they can fix that or if it will require another motherboard.
I have same problem, but i can go to bootloader. The problem my phone is locked bootloader and i don't have recovery mode. And when i try to flash it because of locked bootloader i can't do anything. Is there any solution for unbrick locked bootloader?

I have the same issue like p_a_r_s_a7 with my Pixel 5.
Only fastboot mode: can't find valid operating system
After flashing the 'right' OTA image for Android 12 DP3 the device cannot be restored anymore.
The image was successfully flashed by 'adb sideload' as recommended.
Seems that a locked bootloader is not 100% save from 'flashed to death'

Android flash tool immediately detect the locked bootloader and stopped without flashing.
I've tried to check/uncheck every option but no luck. I've used Windows 10.
Did you used the common USB driver requested by Android flash tool ?
Anything else that could be special, eg Linux environment ( what distro, version .. )
Any detail could help..
