    T428 not booting - help please.

    Some time ago I setup and installed Finless 1.5a to the T428 basically without issue.
    Just came across the 2.0 version and thought I'd go for the update.
    Well - didn't get too far - Got the device and drivers on Win7 to work BUT...
    When I use RKtool - can not see - tried to reset with button pressed and not pressed several times and finally decided to connect back up and make sure of some of the settings (USB or Dev etc). That's where it fails now.
    I get the 4 little linux penguins boot screen for 1/2 sec and quickly to the pretty TronSmart Finless boot screen - seems to switch from 720 to 1080 blink - see the icons a-flashing but that is as far as it goes. Left it for 10 minutes - still will not boot.
    Powered down - traded cables and tried a different computer - still can not get RKTool to see it, even tried the 1.7 version.
    Could I have bricked the unit by power up/down 20 times...
    I really would like to flash the unit to 2.0.
    Ideas - suggestions?

    RESOLVED!

    FYI - Got it to go - and Wow on the 2.0 version.
    Anyway, kept trying and traded cables again. Windows decided to load drivers again, all of a sudden like and then it found the device.
    Hope this helps someone - Follow directions precicely and let windows install drivers when you press the button and plug in at the same time. This action may take several trys, 3 sec button is the key.

    --- Thanks to all that read my posting ---
