I think, I got confused by those messages.  Maybe the  message I was
getting:

 FAT-fs (sdb1): Volume was not properly unmounted. Some data may be
corrupt. Please run fsck.

was referring to another an earlier device :-/
I re-install a new firmware  on that android tv box and it installed OK
now.  And I was afraid that I bricked that TV "T95Z plus" device.  But
it works now.

When I mount standard usb the nodes are detected:

 ls -l /dev/sd*
brw-rw 1 root disk 8,  0 Dec 31 17:20 /dev/sda
brw-rw 1 root disk 8,  1 Dec 31 17:20 /dev/sda1

brw-rw 1 root disk 8, 16 Mar  2 22:46 /dev/sdb
brw-rw 1 root disk 8, 17 Mar  2 22:46 /dev/sdb1

But the TV Box (T95Z Plus) is not recognized and dmesg  is only showing:

Hum.  :-/

Your original dmesg output showed that the kernel detected sdb.

What does lsblk (?) show?

Does your system detect USB flash drives properly?  (USB Mass Storage)

On my other system I'm getting from "dmesg"

No, my system is not recognizing "sdb"

ls -l /dev/sd*
brw-rw 1 root disk 8, 0 Dec 31 17:20 /dev/sda
brw-rw 1 root disk 8, 1 Dec 31 17:20 /dev/sda1

I've try to connect that box to another system and same thing:

ls -l /dev/sd*

brw-rw 1 root disk 8, 1 Mar  2 22:31 /dev/sda1

I think that the "No such file or directory" is quite literally telling 
you that you don't have a /dev/sdb (device) file.


Please try "ls -l /dev/sd*"

I'm sort of guessing that you're missing the device nodes.  Without 
them, fsck and fdisk won't be able to work.

I've tried:

This doesn't work either:

Try 'fsck.vfat' instead. There is also 'fsck.fat' or 'fsck.exfat', at least on 
my installation.
