yes, you can try the latest official release from Pipo with the new ui from here http://pan.baidu.com/s/1gdzcxJd or you can wait for Randy's version based on that new FW.

I bricked my pipo M7 PRO by trying the new one firmware. I tried to flash by rock batch tools 1.6 and fail. I used RR 2.5.2 before. Cant reset. Is it some chance to wake up it again please?

Kary75, maybe you can try this method without opening your tablet

I bricked mytablet (Pipi M6 pro 3g model) trying to flash kasty 4.2.2 jelly bean ROM in the tablet previously flashed with kasty 4.4.2 KitKat ROM. The result of this is well known: Tablet bricked.
Before opening the tablet, i decided to try keeshg method to unbrick and flash kasty 4.2.2 jelly bean ROM.
I did no release power button until the complete process finished, but the process was sucessful. My tablet is alive again.

Thank you so much keeshg

Only when pressing and holding powerbutton I heard the windowssound of connection and I saw the tablet in windows, but it disappeared when the powerbutton was released. So there was a little sign of live left.

With RKBatchtool 1.7 I could repair in an new manner I found without opening the tablet Pipo M6pro:

1 I connect tablet over usb.
2 I load the right rom-img file in RKBatchtool.
3 Hold the power button.
4 While holding press restore button in Batchtool.
5 Keep power pressed untill first part of flashing is done (button is green by now)
6 at first I released the power to soon and the contact over usb stopped, so did flashing and I had to start over.
7 Flashing completed and pipo rebooted again to normal. Succes.

I could repeat it. Perhaps the same procedure works for other tablets. I am curious.

I compared with the original one and I get the same MD5sum


Randy, it would be better to split the discussion from the post #124 to avoid confusion for people running KitKat beta and who would try the new Jelly Bean Firmware. There is always some problem to go back with this version. This problem doesn't appear with your ROM if users thick the loader.

There is no need to open tablet to get in maskrom mode, I've recoverd it from brick at least two times without opening.

[kary75]

Thx for your help. My tablet is back:-)

The problem is only that slot for sim and sd cards dont work. Cards dont hold in slots:-( i will try to open tablet again and try something

[rrileypm]

Is this new release still KK or JB? Can someone confirm. I'm at work and don't have my PC running yet.

JB

[rrileypm]

OK...so my next question is...do I invest time and effort on a new JB ROM? Or, stick with KitKat development?

Is it possible that gps will work with some new KitKat ROM? If yes, I would vote for continue in KitKat development and dont deal with JB. But without gps, KitKat is useless for me.

I cant unbrick my pipo M7pro with any method:
- With rockchip 1.7, new connect:


Holding power button all the time, the restore fails:



If release power button, the process finish, but fails:



Trying with flashtool 1.37



Opening the tablet, no clue for NAND chip. I run out of ideas
