The trick in getting the USB Burning Tool to pair with the box is to not plug the power adapter in at the beginning.  Just inserting the USB cable will provide power to the box to flash, once it starts flashing plug the power adapter in so it has enough constant power to complete the flash.

With some of the firmware you do not need to press the Power button while inserting the USB cable,  but pressing down on the Power button and then inserting the USB cable is good for all versions.

So this is how you should do it for the 495 series of boxes (ATV 495PRO, ATV 495PRO HDR, ATV 495X HDR and ATV 495MAX)

1. Open the USB Burning Tool and load up the firmware img file you want to flash

2.  Pressing down on the Power button insert the USB cable into your PC and it should  pair up, you can release the Power button once it does

3.  Press Start and it should start flashing

4.  Plug in the power adapter

5.  Flashing should take about 5-1/2 to 6-1/2 minutes depending on the firmware version you are flashing

6.  Once it shows "100% Successfully Burning" Press Stop and unplug the USB cable

7.  Next unplug the power adapter, wait 5 seconds and plug it back again to reboot the box

8. The box should reboot and start installing the new firmware,  do not unplug power adapter at this point and wait around 6 minutes before it finishes installing

Same thing happened to me. Did you manage to get your device working again?

If you have the plain ATV 495PRO then you can use the  AML version of the firmware to flash it back to Android 5.1 using the Amlogic USB Burning Tool on a Windows PC.

Just download the zip file and both the Amlogic USB Burning Tool and AML firmware for the ATV 495PRO is in there.

Can we also get an AML version of the firmware for the ATV 495PRO HDR and the 495X HDR as well ?

I have several 495PRO HDR  boxes that are bricked using the micro SD card version of the firmware.  This was like playing Russian Roulette flashed 10x ATV 495PRO HDR boxes, 8x were successful and 2x bricked !  Is this the kind of odd retailers and distributors of MyGica products have to put up with ?
