          I will have to test 2.3 and see if lets you erase IDB on these 3288 ROMs.

              Hello all, I made a mistake when I tryed flashing a new rom to my EKB328, I checked and selected the loader file too (RK3288Loader_uboot_V2.15.bin) and flashed. Now is stuck at

              Test Device Start
              Test Device(100%)...

              I tryed reseting it and nothing. The AndroidTool finds LOADER Device, but when I try to flash it stops at Test Device(100%)...

              What can I do !?

                If you have your parameter, loader, etc. files, go to upgrade tab in android tool 2.3 and select erase flash. After that flash just your loader and parameter. Go to advanced tab and press read IDB or test device. If either complete successfully, you can proceed to flash your partitions as you normally would.

                  Hmm .. no luck. I opened AndroidTool 2.3, on the Upgrade tab i hit EraseFlash, and got a message: "Firmware is not loaded!", then I selected the single image firmware using the Firmware button and hit EraseFlash againg. the same thing:

                  Test Device Start
                  Test Device(100%)...

                  And it stop here ... I let it run for 15 minutes ... no changes if I remove the power from the box it says Test failed ...

                  When I put the power back on and hit the power button the AndroidTool automatically finds loader device, this means it boots automatically to bootloader..

                  Do you know anything else I can try !?

                    Have you tried flashing another loader? i've had this happen to me on RK3288 but I just can't remember what was the exact procedure I used.

                    you may eventually have to open the case and short into mask ROM mode.

                      I was hoping that I wouldn't have to open the case, because I can't find any screws I think I have to crack open it ...

                      Thanks a lot for all the tips you gave me. I will try with a diferent loader if that doesn't work I will open the case ...

                        I finally opened the case of EKB328. But I can't make it start in mask rom

                        I highlighted the 2 holes that i shorted. Do I need to do anything else to boot to mask rom ?

                          You just have to short the right pins (or holes) while connected. This is the first case I've seen an RK3288 stuck like this.

                          I wish I was more help. I got stuck about a month ago and can't remember for the life of me what sequence of steps got me out.

                            The holes that i highlighted in the picture are the only holes on the board, I tryed plugin in the power while i was conecting the 2 holes, tryed plugin in the power first the shorten the 2 holes, every way that I do it the AndroidTool finds loader device, no mask rom ... Anything i do it just hangs at Testing Start .. I tryed with the original firmware (one image file), selected the firmware and hit EraseFlash, it just hangs at same point !! I will contact ENY maybe they can point me in the right direction for booting into mask rom.

                            Thanks for all your tips !
