    Z68 bricked

    After few hours of use and without change the stock firmware, suddenly, the box shut down and the led went to red. After that it doesn't boot and I can't put in bootloader mode to install an another rom.

    Anyone knows how can I recover the TV box?

    Couple of things (and please excuse the questions, I can see you are not a novice):
    • When you ONLY have the OTG and PC connected (no other cables) - do you get anything in your PC's Device manager? (Example: unknown Device, Android device,...)
    • When you boot with ONLY the OTG cable and PC connected holding the RESET BUTTON in Do you see any changes in your PC's Device Manager?
    • When you push a pin/stick into the reset hole, do you hear/feel a click?
    • Have you tried switching the unit off for a while/till cool and tried again?
    Other than that, return the unit...

    ps - I have taken my unit through some heavy experimental and find no problems, but then, when I ordered, I FORCED Geekbuying to test the unit extensively before shipping, which they did. (It took almost a month before they shipped becuase they had problems, which they never told me about...)
    kind regards

      Thank you for the rapid answer.

      The first two questions I can´t answer. I remmeber that I saw some messages but I'll test and then share the results.

      - 3rd question -> YES
      - 4rd question -> YES, with the same result

      Thank you again

        If you do see some messages (1/2) you could be in luck and recovery is possible. I hope for your sake you did because then it is not bricked, just needs to be re-flashed.

        As a PS: The Rockchip devices is basically brick-free. If you have a look through all the forums you can get on the RK chips, you will see no real bricked devices, rather devices that needs to be re-flashed, which is good news to all RK users...

          I hope you're right but I think it is a AC problem.

          When I tried to install a rom I saw an error message. I'll take some pic to share it

          I've updated another RK3368 like Ugoos UT4 without problem, so I think it is not a PC problem (drivers, software)

              cyber7 I've tried to plugin USB cable and when I've plugged USB the led was blue and Windows sounds heard. I had forgotten in a drawer several days ago.

              I've plug and unplug from USB, and in the third time red led appeared and no more recognized by Windows. This confirms that it is a hardware problem, isn't it?

                  Thank you, but it is not a firmware update problem. The brick came suddenly without update the TV Box.

                  And now I can't flash it neither power on.

                  Be careful with this box. It can be bad luck or not....

                          Hi gefattern, thanks for your feedback. The device is detected in Maskmode, I have the ROM, but in the moment I try to Restore it says "Prepare IDB Fail". And the light is still blue. Nothing happen even with the remote control. Impossible to enter in recovery mode. I'm using the 4.4 Drivers, 2.35 Android Tool, and RKBatchtool 1.8, do you need some screenshots? Thanks

                            Hi mauriale ,

                            so if you connect it it says MaskromMode not LoaderMode in AT Tool , how do you connect the Box , with shorten pins or normal ,

                            please "eraseFlash" with AT Tool before restore , wait till ready , press upgrade .

                            How to connect a RK Device if Drivers and Rom is ready , press Recovery (hold) , connect OTG to PC , connect Power , if connected

                            in LoaderMode leave Rec. Button .
