If you have got a suitable installation image for your box and you have a USB A to A cable then you can use '''aml-flash-tool''' to reflash your TV box under Linux.


'''WARNING''' You must back up everything stored on your TV box before flashing an image because all data stored on the eMMC will be  wiped. You must also be careful to only flash images built for your box or else you can brick your box, which means it won't boot and in some cases you won't be able to enable multi-boot mode either.
