XRS 4500 The system won't start

[Miguel Angel Perez Rodriguez]

About five years ago, I bought a BuzzTV XRS4500. After enjoying it for a while, I don't remember exactly if it was due to an update, but the original software stopped booting. Today, I tried pressing the reset button for 10-15 seconds, but nothing happened. I tried flashing "Armbian" via microSD to rule out the console working, and it seems to be functioning; it displays an image when booting from the microSD card, but the original operating system doesn't load. I thought it would be easy to reinstall the original firmware, but it's not possible; there's no BuzzTV database that indicates how. What can I do to revive my BuzzTV and enjoy its interface again?

Any help was appreciated, thanks

do a hard reset

I already tried that, but it's still the same. It turns on, but there's no image. It seems the bootloader is stuck. After pressing the reset button with a wooden stick for 15 seconds, the screen goes gray and still doesn't display an image. However, if I use any Linux image, such as "Armbian" or "Batocera," from the microSD card, it displays an image and works perfectly.

The bootloader seems to be broken; it's not displaying any image, not even the recovery screen appears. I can't perform the "update.zip" process. I don't know if I need an original Firmware.img file to try and revive it with the Amlogic Burning Tool. I've seen it revived that way, but only with the original firmware.

Are you holding the button down then plugging your buzz in?

I had a friend with similar to your experience with xrs4500 and I was able to fix for him using above file and steps. So If you are unable to fix with above posted file and steps then it’s time buy a new box.
