You are not bricked.

I'm not really sure what's going on because before flashing your pc detect the device but after flashing mo123 rom not...

Maybe you should use the latest driver (4.1.1)

And after that try to bring it back via maskrom mode (also to connect to your PC)...
Here you can find which holes you have to bridge to bring your device into maskrom mode which I hope will also helps to connect it to your PC:

:
If you cant update by the above instructions,look at the following:

Open the Box,and use some metal to connect two holes,like this:


Plug in the PSU and OTG cable,then in the tool:

:
To un-brick the box the box, have to get into the "mask" mode, R89 made it easy by installing two teeny, tinny holes to short something that makes it work.
:
I then connected the micro usb connector into the R89, depressed the reset button (inside the AV hole) and connected the power. Eurka, flash tool said I was in "mask" mode (whatever that is). Anyway I also found out that all I had to do was click the 'resetDevice" button. Removed the jumper pulled the power plug and when I replaced the plug I was able to flash Finless's rom again.

Since he is at the flash screen, all he has to do is load the correct img file on the micro sd card, and while still connected to the TV get to the recovery menu. Once he is in the recovery menu he can install from the sd card. I know you can get him working again.

OH, handle with care !!!
I don't know with which version it works if you rename it because I know with newer versions at tronsmart you will also brick it using this way !!!

Inside the A/V hole, there is a micro switch (you can't see it) reset button. I use a round tooth pick with the tip cut off just to give a little more of a blunt end to insert into the A/V hole.

Box is still connected to the TV and at the splash screen

1. Remove power plug from box.
2. Insert tooth pic into A/V hole, gently push on the pick until you "feel" the click.
3. Connect the power plug while still depressing the reset button with the tooth pick.
4. The recovery screen will pop up. Remove the tooth pick.
The list will probably be cascading up and down, just wait about a minute until it settles down.
5. Select option to update from img file, using your remote.
6. The little green man will show up and start loading your new rom.

You should be back to the rom you are installing.

Hi fellows,

Here is the last situation

First, i entered to the maskrom mode and tried to reset device from the 3th tab "ResetDevice" then
reboot. But there was no response from the device and no boot animation

Then,
Entered to maskrom mode again. Loaded RK3288Loader_uboot_Apr212014_134842.bin to the device
i can get boot animation now, but still cannot acccess to the recovery menü via A/V hole swich

I stuck at this point. What i can do furthermore ?

[no_spam_for_me]

Why do you do it this complicated away?
MASK MODE -> flash all-in-on IMG (via rktools 2.3 at second tab with [Upgrade])...

But now you are also able to flash the all-in-on IMG via rktools 2.3 at second tab but first connect it via OTG to the PC and before power on you have to use the tooth-pick at the a/v (also during power on) till rktools 2.3 recognize it at 'loader mode'...

BTW: if you only flash the bootloader at/after MASK MODE no recovery exists, so you can't boot to recovery (also every other 'partition' doesn't exist)...

Ok i tried to flash 107k4.img file from the 2. Tab with upgrade command in maskrom mode.

Its giving a "prepare idb fail"

Any suggestion ?

How are you getting into the "mask" mode?

I by-pass two holes with paperclip as mentioned in the instruction, push the switch in the A/V mode, power-on my device and enter to the maskrom mode. Should i remove the paperclips before i try to load firmware img file ?

After you get into "mask" mode, and click on the "ResetDevice" button on your AndroidTool screen, remove the paperclip and remove the power plug. When you reconnect your box to the computer, it should now say device found and you can install the firmware.
