hanke started following Has MyGica died?

I think you will find BuzzTv located in Mississauga are the same distributor as the previous MyGica products. Apparently they have a store front so if you live in the area you could check it out. I don't have their product so I cannot tell you their stability or user programming options. They have a phone number so you could call and ask them where ever you are located. https://www.facebook.com/BuzzTVGlobal/ https://buzztv.com/site/ 7331 Bramalea Rd, unit #1 Mississauga, ON https://buzztvglobal.com/en-ca

- While holding The power button, hookup the power cord at the back. - hold the power button for next 15 seconds and you will see a recovery screen. then let go of the power button. - Using your remote scroll and select Factory reset / Yes /

I think the amazon firestick has made it much cheaper to use than any box. Firestick can be loaded with kodi and works fine.

My MyGica remote model KR301 no longer pairs with my TV Box ATV1900AC

Do you know for sure the USB ports are working? I had a unit and the dried up brown blob on the circuit board eventually prevented the ports to work properly. I cleaned it up, but basically only 1 out of the 4 ended up working. Good luck... -
ATV495X HDR android 6.0 tv Box I am trying to upgrade my system but it does not matter what I do it will not upgrade. I have had it for a few years and it never would let me upgrade. I figured by now there has to be one available. I downloaded the lates

I am not sure since . Look in the Downloads section (top of forums) to see what model matches your unit and perhaps Google search to see exactly what you can use, but my point is that you need to use the SD card process. Good luck. -

Follow the instructions that comes with the firmware. You can only upgrade via SD card as the instructions state. https://mygicasupport.com/index.php?/files/category/15-atv-495x/ -
It seems you got into the recovery menu, so I guess your reset function is working, Try another SDcard and follow the instructions. It should be able to reload the firmware. SDcard needs to be FAT32 formatted, which I am sure you did. Not sure how many times you tried it, but make sure you watch the screen and the device. What happened at 40%? Maybe your power adapter is weak and your box shut down at the 40%. Good luck.

Congratulations on getting it working! Now you just need to re-soldier the switch on the main board so in future you can use it like it should work. That is pretty easy, with a pencil soldiering iron, heat it up and add some more soldier to the joint and you good as new. Glad I could help you out.

I am not really sure to be on honest with you. I do believe the latest firmware allowed standby mode to work properIy. I thought the front button was an on/off. Get you ohm meter out and see if the button works when you open it up. This project may become a bit technical. I dont have a atv1900pro but my 2 other family members do and the unit seems to work fine for them, but like anything electronic it can fail almost anytime. These units are now pretty old and dont think mygica has even been on the forums here for well over a year or more. I think what has happened and killed mygica is the cloned boxes...that seem to sell for $50.00 and have the most current android version on them. Anyhow good luck with your project and hope it works out for the best.

The solder joint on the main board may not be that noticeable...basically a hair line crack in the soldier itself, you may have to look with a magnifying glass, sometimes it is not that easily noticeable sometimes.
-
Hopefully its bad on the board! Soldering it will make it useful again. Just look on Google to see how you open it up. I have done it to repair the globs on the usb ports. Hope its bad on the board..then at least you will be able to enter recovery mode.
-
I am sure your are doing this, but are you holding the reset button in for at least 15 seconds when applying the power before releasing the reset button? If you are, maybe the reset button has lost its connectivity on the main board inside and might be worth a try to open the box up and look at the circuit board where the reset button is soldered to the main board. The solder could have cracked (cold soldered joint). If it is you will need to solder it back on to the circuit board for connectivity. Since your always going to the Lollipop screen this could be the cause since the box is not recognizing a reset.

The ATV1900 also has those 2 additional files, perhaps download the ATV1900 file, and add those two files to your sdcard, the dd.exe and the uboot_mx.exe. Although the ATV1900pro does not have those 2 files as seen in the pic below. You have nothing to lose to add those (2 exe files), maybe that will allow it to load and install as it should. Good luck really cant help you with much more sorry.

Dont know what to tell you. The pic I attached is basically the files that are what you should have on the SD card which are basically from the zip file you downloaded. I trust you are not using a large sd card, think i used 16gb, if you using a large sdcard the box may not read it properly. I still think if you are going right to the lollipop screen your card is not being read and wont load the recovery ability. The pic is from the zip file of the download for - 1900 PRO JAN 30 2017 March 24 17.

Install ES file explorer and then you should be able to look at the files your downloaded and also should be able to install them from the ES file explorer after they are downloaded. The iptv app may not be compatible with your android version since most of them are using a much higher android version these days since mygica are using very old versions.
