: Ensure a solid connection between the GND (Ground) pins of the adapter and the STB board. Communication often fails without a shared ground reference.
The device must be in a specific low-level boot state to accept commands over UART or USB. This state is often called BootROM mode, MaskROM mode, or download mode. Without it, the main bootloader (U-Boot) may still be running, preventing the flashing tool from establishing the correct communication protocol. : Ensure a solid connection between the GND
