aml_autoscript just created
factory_update_param.aml amended to add wipe_data
mx2update.zip it was lowercase and this matches the factory_update_param.aml
recovery.img which came packed with this download.
u-boot.bin which i copied from within the mx2update.zip from the bootloader.img
So it's insert card and toothpick for 7 - 10 seconds?!!

yep and wait for some time (lets say 30 seconds to minute). After that power off box and rename aml_autoscript to something else (otherwise it will trigger it again). Then continue with normal install using toothpick.
done that, same has happened a second time. Brief grey flash on screen shortly after toothpick removed then black screen.......................
Could this be the matricom image with the bug that causes the video output issue or did the flash fail?
Cheers
Ok, seems now it goes into recovery w/o aml_recovery which is good. Try 1.1.5 fw. I can't recall which matricom fw works on these boxes with new nand. Think it was 1.1.5 that works ok.
Anyway, I think you have lot of info here, so toy.... you cant brick bricked box I'm off to bed now (4:30am here), and not to spam topic here, you can add me to skype: stanislav.vlasic1 or hangout svlasic [at] gmail
Just one more update before i head off to sleep................
Tried 1.1.6 matricom. Grey flash, black screen. Changed aml_auto and flashed again. Same result. Rebooted box - straight back into stock android.
1.1.5 full - the mx2update.zip won't extract for me to extract the u-boot.bin
1.1.4b - same as above. Get errors when extracting the zip file.
finally tried flashing Amlinux v1.00 and same result as above. Grey flash and black screen - then rename aml_autoscript. Then nothing happens with toothpick after that and finally a reboot gets me back to android as if nothing happened!
Shorting nand pins 5 and 6 during power on for 2-3 seconds should trigger boot from 'special sdcard' or recovery sdcard.
Should... but don't ask me how, but BenniBenassi was able to brick one of his devices as "deap" that it also didn't work (but he was able to recognise "basic life" via UART)...
... I have a copy of the executable that creates the SD card, I can email it to you if you PM me your email address....
You can attach it here at the board (as ZIP) or searching for 'free upload' via google to find a free file hoster (e.g. http://www.file-upload.net/) and insert the link, so others also able to have a look at it...
...
But when it comes to mx2 boxes, lot of $hit is going on.... there are clones and clones of clones. Original factory (shiningworth) changed nand chip on these devices in one of their latest mx2 batches (now on market are just clones afaik) which is not working well with U-Boot supplied for MX boards by Amlogic (I'm talking about Android 4.2.2 branch), but it works just fine with KitKat sources (uboot, android and kernel).
With mx2 and previous m3 from same factory (aka G-Box midnight) is only mess. 2+ yrs of experience with that manufacturer (starting from m3).
THAT's why I'm asking two times for a picture of the PCB !!!
