How to Reset your Android box using Android Recovery Mode

Here's how you can reset your Android box back to factory new in case its firmware goes a little funky and you've Bricked your box. My box got into a Restricted Profile Mode and I could not get it back out. This took care of it and put it back to Factory Settings.

Used the reset method on my Tanix TX9 box, it had a video issue (scrambled video) after Amlogic S912 logo screen. My method: TX9 Box connected to HDMI, held down reset button (reset hole near SPDIF), plugged in box, box booted, logo showed, held reset until logo hangs (about 15 seconds), stopped holding the reset button in, waited about 20-30 seconds "Recovery Mode" popped up. From there did a factory reset like your video. Awesome. Love your videos, always informative. Thank you, Peter.

It is refreshingly brave for someone to show the failures as well as the success. Well done.

Thanks for the continued tutorials and YouTube video uploads. They are always helpful. I've been a fan since about 30k subs and congrats on hitting 100k

I Liked the video because you showed that even though you had some idea, there were mistakes made but it didn't put you off .This technology is moving so fast no one knows it all

Excellent walkthrough for when you get defective boxes, and need to return!

Tnx Peter. Any idea how to reset boxes without reset button? I watched some guy pushing remote power button while starting boz, couldn't do the same with my Huawei Q11

Hi. On recovery mode the volume and power buttons are used because those are normally the only physical buttons on a phone when you go to recovery. Also, it is also a good idea to wipe cache as there might be old data there that might prevent the box from booting. On the mecool you can get to recovery by just holding the power button until it boots although the reset button gets you there also.

Your the best
I was ready to send it back and watched your video you saved the day

Wow Peter love this video. The only things I don't like about this box are the unstable wi fi connectivity on my box compared with many other different boxes I own and the darkness. I was excited to hear you say you were going to do another video to sort that out. I'm looking forward to getting my box picture better. Thanks.

If I reset my Buzz TV box, will I lose the apps that have been installed. Please answer. This is a big concern. I do not want to pay for a reprogramming. Look fwd to hearing your response. Thanks.

Hi we have a couple of different android boxes. Not sure which are the most up to date as I'm sure they are older models, and not sure how to install / program them, or which would be the best to use - we don't have a smart TV. These are the 3 that we have: MXIII 4K, Hi Media Q3 and ABox Pro 4K. Hopefully you can help with these. Note: Originally we had the ABox Pro 4K only using Netflix and the resolution was good; didn't try any other apps. However, just tried the Hi Media Q3 and was able to get to Youtube and Netflix but resolution not good. Also considering trying Amazon Prime. Not sure how all of this works? Suggestions?
