Fixing Bricked s905x using UART

[P@radox]

Wel I bricked my minim8sII..
After looking for some time and reading a lot.. I got my minim8sII working again.

To do so you need 3 things:

1* an usb-ttl cable.. like the one here..

2* Putty found here..

3* Solder 3 pins on the UART connector on your s905x found here.. (Thanx to windziu)

This is what i did:

1.. Connect pl2303 to pc and find out what COM is needed for putty by using windows device manager..
2.. Set up putty for the correct com and Bitrate 115200 in my case it was COM4... I had this already set up, to fix a router...changing the usb port will change COM..
3.. Connect s905x board with PC by UART-Usb..
4.. Connect s905x board with PC by male to male USB and the power cable.
5.. Stop the autoboot by pressing enter or ctrl+c, I waited for the boot to finish typed "reboot" and pressed enter twice..
6.. Start the burning tool like you would when updating.
7 .. In putty type 'update" and press enter.

The burning tool should now see you your device and start updating..

The first boot will take some time I waited 20 minutes or so ..



Not claiming any credits.. just hope it helps people fixing there bricked devices..
