    So happy this video was here. Fired up the box and no clock no signal. Did the reset, back in business. 1st time I tried it it got stuck on the boot screen and then I just turned it off and turned it back on and booted up just fine everything was good. Thank you!

    Am grateful for this video and it gave me hope, but my trouble is a bit different and there may not be a fix for it?? Mine is "stuck" on the Try again/Factory Reset page and I can't get it to change at all and have tried both the remote control and the bluetooth mouse. It just won't budge Neither the remote nor the mouse want to communicate with the android box.

    I have the T95Z Plus Android 12.0 TV Box. Was booting to Home Screen like it should. Now boots to KODI. Do I attempted the reset as done here. My Android box will not power on while holding the reset button and power at the same time. My version does not have a power button so I use the remote controls on/off button.

    • @thestreamingadvisor

      Did you try deleting kodi? Is Kodi essential to your setup? You probably clicked an option somewhere in settings. In general kodi makes a good starting point for an Android box.

That took me to the screen that showed all the applications. Soooooo I accessed the Google Play Store and deleted all the applications I installed including the pre installed KODI ceot for one other.
      Rebooted device. Device booted up perfectly. So we are good. I did reinstall KODI just for giggles and wiggles. I reinstalled that after I rebooted the device.

      Yes there is a difference. The big one is that it is needed to flash new firmware, which a lot of folks who get Android boxes like to do. Factory resets just set the box up the way it came out of the packaging.

      See if the settings are on auto. If so uncheck the box. I've had that problem. I'm guessing your google play store wont work because of the date problem.
