Hello Joe, On the A3, one thing I have learnt to do during backup, is to do it in stages. I first back up the system files. When done, I backup all apps except the ones that are very large, like Kodi, as such apps may take a long time. I have had many instances of the backup failing when I try to do it all in one go. Also, each time I select a single system file or app, I check that the corresponding size shows up adding to the total. this is to verify that the file was selected and loaded properly. The process has always worked for me and may prove of help with your A3 recovery.

Thanks. I'll hook it back up and give it a try when I get a few minutes. I've backed up in the past but never had this problem.

Had a real head-scratcher today. The A3 got stuck on boot, as usual. Pulled the plug, let it sit for a while, and on powering up it came up to the initial install screen, as is usual lately. Then I went to the backup utility to restore my settings, only to be greeted with a "No Space" message! I tried deselecting apps so the only thing to restore was the system settings, and still "No Space". Rebooted it again (surprisingly, it started on the first try this time) and it came up with everything normal, as if it had never crashed at all! Nothing needed to be reloaded, all my apps, channels, and settings were there!

What. The. Hell.

There's some very weird stuff going on with Android on this box!
 
That is strange. Never saw that one before.

Isn't there a way to upgrade to another version of Android?

I checked only one item on the list to backup. A3 went immediately back to the previous Backup/Restore screen, same as before. Tried with another backup file. Ditto. Tried another backup file. Same result. Also tried checking several items on the list. This is what started the whole mess to begin with. Don't know where to go from here. Right now the A3 is a boat anchor. Sad. I really liked the A3.

Less than 2 months after the last Recovery, the A3 is back at it again. It seems to me it does matter what Version is installed the issue will still arise. I'm upgrading to Ver.78 This is really sad!!
 
I wish I knew the steps or have a tutorial on how upgrade to Android kit-kat! It might take care of these nagging issues. Any suggestions?

Meant to write it "doesn't" matter what version is installed.
 
I have had no different issues with .78.
 
Hello All
I have a Amiko-A3 receiver, is been sitting in the closet for about a year,it was working fine before I put aside, I set it up yesterday, it took many boot-ups to fire it up, but now the only screen it displays is the Mains screen, standby/reboot, it acts like it lost all the information, any ideas on how to get it up and running? please let me know.

Hello Brian
Here are the pictures, and what the receiver does:
1- Disconnect from power and reconnect.
2 - logo Screen comes on, screen goes black and comes on with logo and 3 horizontal bars on the middle lower part of the screen looks dashes, screen goes black again and never comes back on.
3 - If I press on the power button on the RC, the Standby/reboot screen comes on but that is all it does, I can put the receiver on standby and the screen goes black .
The display on the receiver always on BOOT.
