This is a simple tutorial on how to easily flash firmware on Probox2 EX Media Player with Amlogic S802-H CPU.

1. First, download the stock firmware from Probox2 website probox2.com or from here, here or here. (PROBOX2-EX-20140805 firmware version).

2. Download AMLogic USB Burning Tool v2.0.0.140306_Alpha. It's working also on Windows 8.1 64 bit (my PC OS), but you'll have to disable driver signature enforcement. Then you have to put Probox2 EX Media Player in flash mode. To do that, prepare a thin metal stick / paper clip, then press and hold the restore button (inside the AV port hole) and press Power button at the same time. After 3-5 seconds USB_Burning_Tool will detect the USB device. (with the DC and OTG USB cable  plugged in). Install AMLogic USB Burning Tool v2.0.0.140306_Alpha and the drivers.

3. Launch USB_Burning_Tool, change the language to English. Click 'File' and choose 'Import image', choose the .img file you just download. Click "Start" to start firmware upgrade, it should take around 3-4 mins and please do NOT power off / unplug PROBOX2 EX during firmware upgrade. After finished firmware upgrade, it will auto disconnected. Now you can unplug it and connect to TV again.
