3rd firmware for openbox x5 recovery

- - - Updated - - -

If the Open box is not powering on at all it may be fried.
Can you tell us if you see anything on the box's display when you are booting up?
If you are not you can try 2 methods.
1: Insert USB in the front or the back. Try both.
2: Press and hold the OK button until you see LOAD on the front of the box. Let go then. If this fails, Press and hold the middle button which is located right in the center of the directional buttons.
Please let us know here if this worked for you.

Look forward to hearing from you.

have tried all of these nothing working, red light flashing ,no responce when turned on with usb plugged in,

Got a Dead Openbox X5?
Here is what you need to fix it.
I have 2 zip folders here and if one does not help use the other.
Try First zip labeled Recover X5
If that fails use Second zip labeled Recover X5 2.

To recover your Box by USB.
Extract the zip to a FAT32 Formatted USB Drive.
Nothing else to be on this USB drive.
In the zip will be a folder called Recovery.
Do not change anything.

Insert the USB key into your Openbox X5.
Turn on the power and imediately press and hold the OK button until your Openbox X5 states Updating S/W on screen.
Once you let go just allow up to 10 minutes for full flash to complete. Your Openbox X5 will reboot and you will have completely fixed your Openbox.

Disclaimer.
Using these files, you do so at your own risk. I take no responsibility if you damage your box in any way.
