https://marvel-it.icu/part-1-aio-guid...

HDMI 4K @ 60Hz, USB 3.0, Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11ac and H.265 capabilities are cheaper than ever with the rise of SoCs like Amlogic and RockChip. You can have your own Kodi/Netflix box with the existing LCD/LED/Plasma/ OLED TV.

[00:34] For who like branded devices at a low price, they are: Ki Plus, MX PLUS II, MXQ-4K, Sunvell T95, etc.

[01:10] Personally, I prefer Amlogic over RockChip because the boarder firmware sources, you can even have a custom ROM with is backed by a company:
http://atvxperience.com
"An aftermarket version of AndroidTV OS for Amlogic Devices!"


[01:21] "There’s no doubting that the Amlogic S912 chipset is the more powerful chip of the two, boasting 8 Cortex-A53 ARM cores in a big.LITTLE design. This features 4 cores running at 1.5Ghz with 4 lower power cores running at 1Ghz.
This dwarfs the Rockchip RK3328’s four Cortex-A53 ARM cores running at 1.5GHz, meaning that the Amlogic S912 tends to outperform Rockchip’s processor in CPU-based tasks" - gearopen.com

[02:08] "In some respects, RK3229 is better than S905 and has a better price, but don't keep your hopes up until someone actually tests these devices.
On paper, RK3229 has some impressive video decoding capabilities for a spectacular price, but the lack of faster connectivity (USB 3.0, Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11ac) might prove to be a troublesome" - minipcdb.com

The technical information should be ignored because, their chipset have almost featured that we need for daily basis: stream HD content, play heavy games, wireless cast, etc.
I have an MXQ-4K Pro box with 4 USB ports, 1 AV + 1 SDIF slots, 1 SD reader.
Although it does not have Bluetooth and Ethernet port, I stay happy with a strong Wifi signal, jobs cannot be done with this TV box can be filled with iPad and Android phone easily, though.

The fatal problem is I buy it from an unauthorized online store, so it ends up with a clone device from Chine, no support assistant, no firmware+tools website download, no update routines.
The ridiculous part is this device has two stickers, one indicates it is an Amlogic s905, one belongs to RockChip RK3229 :D
So I need to remove the warranty seal, look for the board's vendor ID: rk3229_7.1_box_MX4VB_SSV6051p_SpecTek

[03:25] "I need help bad... I plugged the power of my MXQ PRO 4k but when I plugged it back again it is going into recovery mode.
No matter what I do it keeps on coming back to the recovery mode. is there any way to fix this or is this a hardware issue?" - freaktab.com

[04:05] "When I try to factory reset the box, it boots with the initial setup screen as you'd expect. However when I restart the box, it returns to its pre-reset state, with all my apps and settings as they were before the reset. I have tried the following:
Full factory reset
Installing older firmware, deleting partition cache, then reinstalling the new firmware" - androidcentral.com

You should find these devices will brick soon in a couple of months, my symptoms are the TV box hang at logo boot, reset via the AV hole does nothing at all.


[04:33] [ Resetting via the Android TV Box Pin-Hole ]
First of all, almost Android TV Box has the default method to do Factory Reset by inserting a toothpick into AV hole during power on/connected AC power source the device.
However, with China clone devices, the problem is worse than that, the factory installs the firmware without the recovery partition image and even incompatible a ROM into the box.


[04:38] "Here are some of the most common reasons why people choose to reset Android TV Box.
When the Android Box refuses to boot up: Imagine confidently walking to start up your Android TV Box, only to notice that it doesn’t boot up. Oftentimes the only way to fix this is to start afresh with a complete factory reset.
Sluggish speed: Installing and using multiple apps and other files on your Android TV Box can significantly compromise your viewing experience" - websafetytips.com

With genuine devices, these a not so much problem, the main one is device become laggy when you install a lot of apps into it. So we can do Factory Reset online right from the Settings menu of the Android OS.

[05:22] [ Create a Bootable Recovery SD Card ]


Besides the old school AV hole method, we can create a backup disk on an SD card via Windows/Linux software.
