How to Install the Firmware of Android TV Box by Yourself

Step 1

Download Tools.

Download the amlogic usb burning tool.

Amlogic USB
Rockchip USB

Once you download the 2 files, extract it to your desktop.

The “mac_ether.ini” file is used if you get a “key mac failed = 0” error when you try to flash your device. (Go to Step 11)

Step 2

Connect your Amlogic Android TV box to your PC.

Before installing the USB burning tool, make sure your Android TV box is connected to your PC and powered on with the power adaptor. The USB burning tool will install the drivers that your PC will need to have in order to communicate with the TV box.

Step 3

Install the Amlogic USB Burning Tool on your PC.

Installing the Amlogic USB Burning Tool is pretty straightforward on any Windows PC, click yes to all options.

Step 4

Install drivers for your Android TV box

Before the tool finishes installing it will open up the Driver Instillation wizard, your TV Box needs to be connected for the tool to know what drivers your TV Box needs. When this stage is complete you will have a new USB Burning tool icon on your desktop, now open it.

Step 5

Change the language on the Amlogic burning tool

Click the second icon on the top bar to reveal the option for changing the language.

Step 6

Put your device into recovery mode and connect to your PC

You will have to put your device in recovery mode, this will depend on each device since it is different in all TV Boxes. Some have small reset holes, and others have buttons on the bottom of the device. You must connect your Android TV Box to your PC when in recovery mode to update its firmware. If done correctly, you will have a connection success as seen in the image above.

Step 7

Import your firmware image

Locate your firmware .img file with the file tab on the top left hand side.

Step 8

Untick the “Overwrite key” box

It is important that you untick the “Overwrite key” box on the right hand side of the screen like in the image above.

Step 9

Click Start to update your firmware

Now your ready to flash your Android TV box. Click “Start” and the upgrade process will start.

Step 10

Click “Stop” when your Android TV box has finished updating

Step 11

Fix “key mac failed = 0” error

If for any reason you get a Key Mac failed error don’t worry. Copy the “mac_ether.ini”  file you downloaded with the tool in step 1 into the “license”  folder.

C:/ Program Files(X86)/Amlogic/USB_Burning_Tool/license/

If you can not see the license folder in C:/ Program Files(X86)/Amlogic/USB_Burning_Tool/,  you can add the license folder then place the mac_ether.ini inside.

All finished…!

      I’m not sure if it would help have you tried using ATVXPERIENCE. Just Google the ATV firmware may be available.

    Hi, I am looking for a ROM for my MXQ Pro 4k, there is a sticker attached to its board written ” mxqpro-6051-418p-nv5-0903-f1.img “. Do you have any compatible ROM for this device? Many thanks in advance.

    Hi: I have a MXQ PRO 4 K s905xq 2016.08.11 on my board inside the tv box. What is the safest software download for this box at this time. It is not functioning properly and the red light goes on without the blue light at all. My main function for this box at this time is streaming tv stuff. Can you direct me to the img firmware with a proper burning tool. Merry Christmas and stay safe. Tx

      This is all I can find on the box.
      Let me know something as no one else seems to want to give good guidance on how to setup/upgrade this box.
      Thanks to any that respond.

    Hi there, thank you for the detailed guide. What are your thoughts about using a VPN such as Ivacy with Android TV boxes. Is it a good idea?

    Hi, I have a MXQ Pro 4K (S905W). I flashed Magisk & it worked fine. Then I flashed a TWRP recovery & problem started from there on. It boots, MXQ appears on screen for a second then green screen. I installed amlogic drivers & tried AML burn tool but device is not recognised. Device manager detects it for a second & then shows unknown device. USB burning tool doesn’t work. NAND is the last option I guess, so any help about pins shorting or any other method to make it work is appreciated. Please help me with steps to get it to work. MXQ-S XR819 firmware (Android 7.1.2) mentioned on the board.
