How to restore Beelink GT-King - 2 way, fast

 

You will need any microSD (TF) memory card with a size of 2 GB or more. You need to download an application for Windows from the Internet - Burn Card Maker. You can download hence. Firmware for Beelink - hence. And then everything is simple:

• The Burn Card Maker program starts.
• In the upper left menu (it is in Chinese), you need to select the 2nd item from the top (there are 3 of them).
• Check the box next to English Version, restart the program.
• Insert the memory card into the card reader and connect to the PC.
• In the "To Partition and Format" menu, check the box (Yes).
• In the "Choose Disk" menu, select a memory card.
• In the lower field, click the "Open" button and specify the path to the firmware file (IMG extension).
• Press the "Make" button.
• At the end of formatting (FAT32), confirm the operation - the firmware image will be written to the memory card.

Having finished the manipulations on the computer, the flash card is installed in the slot of the Beelink GT-King set-top box. Be sure to make sure that it fits into the connector, as the Chinese made a deep groove. Probably so that the memory card does not stick out. You can push it with a paperclip or fingernail. Do not be afraid, it will not get stuck there - there is a wringing mechanism.

Then we perform the following operations with the prefix:

 

• We take it in hand (the memory card is already inserted), the rest of the cables are disconnected.
• Connect the HDMI cable, turn on the TV - it says "no signal".
• Below, near the label with the serial number, there is a hole for the Reset button. We insert a paper clip or a toothpick there, clamp it.
• The power cable is connected to the set-top box.
• When the splash screen appears (gray skull on a gray background), wait 2 seconds and release Reset.
• The firmware process starts. We wait for the end and get a working interface.

 

It is important here, when the power is connected and the splash screen appears, to catch the moment when to release Reset. It might not work the first time. You can overdo the button or release it too early. Everyone has it differently - 2-3-4 seconds. We have to seize the moment. At 5-10 attempts, it will definitely work. Or maybe the first time.

Firmware TV-Box with USB - an alternative

 

By analogy with a memory card, it is possible to restore the set-top box using a USB flash drive. You need to insert it into the USB 2.0 connector. Due to strange circumstances, not all flash drives TV-Box picks up. Any memory cards. In order not to waste time, it is better to immediately take a MicroSD memory card.

 

And one more thing - the method of flashing from memory cards is suitable not only for Beelink GT-King. Almost any gadget of the Chinese brand Beelink lends itself to such recovery methods. And yet, you can flash set-top boxes on AMLogic from other manufacturers in this way. The main thing is to find the Reset button. Some manufacturers hide them, sometimes in the AV connector, sometimes under USB.
