Mxq S805 Firmware 51 Download Upd Link Site
Disclaimer: This article is for educational and informational purposes only. Downloading and flashing firmware may void your warranty, brick your device, or cause data loss. Ensure you have the correct board revision (e.g., PCB number) before proceeding. The author is not responsible for any damage to your hardware.
What You Need Before You Start
- A Windows PC (7, 10, or 11).
- A USB A-to-A (male-to-male) cable – this is a male USB cable on both ends (not the typical printer cable).
- A small flathead screwdriver or paperclip (to short the NAND pins if needed).
- The USB Burning Tool (version 2.0.8 or higher).
- The MXQ S805 Firmware 5.1 image file (see link below).
Common Issues with Firmware 51 Downloads
- Download Link is Dead: This is the most common problem. If a link from 2016 is dead, search for the exact filename in quotes using Google (e.g.,
"MXQ_S805_8188_20160804.img"). - The "Initialize DDR" Error: This means you flashed the wrong firmware version (e.g., you flashed a 87 version on a 51 board). You must re-download the correct "51" build.
- Box becomes "Unknown Device" in Windows: You didn't hold the reset button inside the AV port.
- WiFi still doesn't work: You downloaded a "51" build, but your actual board is an "SV6051P." You need a specific kernel for that.
Example Filename for "51"
A valid file name for your search is: MXQ_S805_8188ETV_4.4.2_20160804.img mxq s805 firmware 51 download link
Step 5: Flash the Firmware
- Once the tool shows “HUB3-1 – Connected,” click Start.
- Wait 2-4 minutes for the progress bar to reach 100%. You’ll see “Burn Successfully.”
- Click Stop, then unplug the USB cable.
- Power the box using its DC adapter. The first boot may take up to 5 minutes.
