Title: Forensic Analysis and Low-Level Implementation of Factory Reset Mechanisms on the Huawei STB Q11 Platform

Abstract: Set-Top Boxes (STBs) are increasingly targeted for re-flashing, brick recovery, and digital forensics. The Huawei STB Q11 operates on a locked-down Android TV system. This paper dissects the factory reset process across three architectural layers: the Bootloader (Fastboot/HiBurn), the Recovery OS, and the Android Framework. We identify the physical UART interface, partition mapping (eMMC/NAND), and the critical distinction between a "soft reset" (user menu) and a "hard reset" (forced bootloader command). Practical methodologies for initiating reset without video output or remote control are provided.
