If you’ve installed anything on your PC before, this will look very familiar. You can check the box that says “I understand the risk and want to run the app” to continue. I’m not sure if this is because of a recent Windows update, but I wanted to include it here, just to be complete. I’ve installed this tool many times and only received this warning on the very last installation while taking screenshots for this writeup. This may or may not happen to you, depending on your settings. The only minor hiccup I found was running across a “Windows protected your PC” message during the initial installation like the one below. Installing the Amlogic USB Burning Tool is pretty straightforward on any Windows PC.

USING USB IMAGE TOOL INSTALL

Install the Amlogic USB Burning Tool on your PC Lesson learned, so now it’s part of my routine. It turns out that all I had to do to fix the issue was keep the TV box connected and powered on during the installation process.

USING USB IMAGE TOOL DRIVERS

The upgrade process kept failing because the drivers were never installed. The reason I connect the TV box at this step is from personal experience with an old Tronsmart Vega S89. During the installation process, the program will install the drivers that your PC will need to have in order to communicate with the TV box.

USING USB IMAGE TOOL UPDATE

There’s an update feature in the application itself. If you don’t have the latest version, don’t worry. For this example, this is version v2.0.6.2, but that will certainly change as new versions are released. Once you’ve extracted the file, you’ll see a Setup.exe file which will contain the version number.

Here, I’ve set it up in my Downloads directory in Windows 10 and created a sub-directory called “Amlogic.” Once you download that file, extract it into a temporary directory. You will be making changes to system files on another device, so Windows wants to make sure you know what you’re doing, after all. The file will work in Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10, but it will need Administrator permissions in order to run.

Now that I’ve sufficiently scared you, let’s get started.

As is the case with any computer files, don’t go deleting things that you don’t absolutely know what they do.

If you choose to erase the MAC address, you could end up doing more harm than good.

Always use the “Normal Erase” configuration option – unless you really know what you’re doing.

They’ve tested it and made sure it works with that particular firmware upgrade.

If your manufacturer provides a version of the Amlogic USB Burning Tool with the firmware download, then you should use that.

This can “brick” the device and turn it into a really expensive paperweight.

Never disconnect the power to your TV box while upgrading the firmware.

Be sure you’ve got an Amlogic-based device first. Each chipset manufacturer will have their own way of doing things.

This process is specifically for Amlogic devices such as Cosycost android tv box.

There are a few things to think about when updating your firmware manually.
