I Got into recovery tried to install and got a message about file verification and the rom wouldn't install. So I did some more reading couldn't really figure why it wouldn't install so tried to look for a stock Rom update for it and came across the updated Rom at geekbuying for the M8 "M8_K200A_ap6330_03282014A_0516" which apparently fixed the playstore issue. So I got into recovery again and the file starting flashing straight away automatically. I left it to finish and rebooted.
When it shut down all I had was a red led no blue led and unable to start it up or get back into recovery, totally nothing. So I had a good read around and managed to get some life back out of it by using the shorting the nand pins 17+18 method.
I've formated an SD card with the AMLogic Bootmaker tool using the u-boot file that comes with the tool and formated the 2Gb SD as FAT. What I get when I'm in recovery is errors and no matter what I select is the same message's "see the pic below". I've tried a few ROMs now, some boot to recovery some start to boot; ie the blue led starts up the screen starts to detect a signal then nothing.
I know there are just a few clones out there, mine is an M8 v1.1 I've taken some pics of it any one know if its genuine or not I've searched around seen a few different PCB's. it's pretty bricked though I'm getting so far but stuck here at this point. I've searched a lot over the net and tried most things, tried an 8Gb SD card, different file formats for the SD card, different ROMS, and different methods for shorting the pins. I'm getting into recovery any advise much appreciated.
