The Rock Chi Android tool is probably the most useful app for rock chi android boxes when it comes to flashing stop firmer or compatible ROS .

The app will list down what type of processor and wi-fi chip you have before we proceed .
It is important to note that this flashing method .

A full USB mail to mail cable .
I have fully tested this procedure on an MXQ PRO four K five G with RK 32288 processor with ESP 8089 wifi chip .
If you have the same chip set as mine , please proceed .
However , I will not be responsible for any damages done to your device in performing this procedure as all android boxes .
Even those with the same specifications contain various framer and electronic components that could affect the flashing process .
Please proceed at your own risk for those with android boxes that have rock chip processor but with different wifi chip , I have posted some helpful links below where you could possibly download a compatible firmware for your device .
Please note that I have not tested them personally .
So please read and study all the comments in those forums before flashing any firmware to your device .
All right , let's begin .
First , we have to download the rock driver assistant , the rock android tool and the Android box firmware .
I have provided the download link in the description below .
So go ahead and download these files once finished .
Simply extract these files using the built in windows file compression app or any third party file compression tools such as window or Winzip .
For this particular demo .
I will use window to extract each file to their own separate folder .
Once extracted , you can place them anywhere you want .
For my case , I will transfer these files in my C drive and place them in a folder which I will name as rock chip tools .
Next thing we will do is to install the rack driver assistant .
We need to install this first because our PC needs to have the driver for it to communicate properly to our device .
Let's open the driver assistant folder on a new tab .
Get inside the driver assistant folder and double click the driver install that access , click .
Yes , for the user account control window , click , install driver and wait for the installation to finish after the installation .
Click .
Ok ?

This will now be our main tool in flashing the directive firmware .
Ok .
Let's click the upgrade firmware tab , then click the firmware button .
A new window will appear which will ask for the firmware you want to flash .
Let's go to the folder where we have saved the firmware .
It is located in C drive under the rip tools folder which we have created a while back .
Get inside this folder and look for the IMG file , select it and click open .
Wait for the firmware to get recognized by the flashing tool .
Once recognized , you will now be able to see the details of the firmware notice at the bottom part that there is no device found yet .
Our rack Android box needs to be in flash mode first before it can be connected to your PC via the full USB mail to mail cable to set the device into flash mode first .
Make sure that the power supply cord is not connected to the Android box .
Then HDM I cord , MXQ PRO as for the full USB mail to mail cable , plug the other end of the cable to the USB port of your PC .
While the other end has a USB port , it's a AB Android box .
New , don't plug the USB cable yet .
This will be done later next , get your position screwdriver and insert it to the A V port .
Don't release the screwdriver yet and reset button , you can now plug the USB cable after one second , you can now release the precision screwdriver .
Going back to your PC .
You will now see at the status bar of the arcade DEV tool window that a loader device has been found .
This just means that your MXQ Pro has been successfully connected to your PC via flash mode .
We can now click the upgrade button .
The flashing process will now commence .
This will take time to finish .
So I will just fast forward this process .
You will see the status download filmer success .
Once the flashing process is completed , you can now close all the windows and disconnect the device from your PC , your device will undergo the initial boot .
After the flashing process , this will take a very long time .
So be really , really patient with it .
I will fast forward this part of the video until we reach the set up page on the set up page .
It will first ask you to set your preferred language , just use English and click next .
Then it will ask you for your preferred screen scaling .
If you think the display is too small for your screen , then feel free to adjust the setting to your lacking using your remote .
In my case , I am fine with the default value and I will just move on to the next set up page .
This time around it will ask you for your preferred wifi network .
This is now our main proof that the wifi driver is working well in this frame ware , just select your preferred network , then enter your network , password and click connect .
Now once successfully connected hit next , it will then show you an overview and a quick guide of the home screen .
Take time to read it and click next .
And finally , it will ask for your local time zone .
I will click .
No , since I do not live in London , I will select the correct time zone for my country .
And in my case , I will set it to Asia Manila time zone .
Well , that's it .
You now have a fresh look of your Android box .
Nothing home screen .
The MXQ pro .
The good thing about this film is that it already has a built in ram optimizer which you can click every time that a Baal and device .
