Hi,
I ordered a couple of these last week from the same supplier. I decided to flash with the Finless 1.7 mk808b rom.
This first one went well, booted into flash mode ok, although I had to use the hold button down while powering up method, Like the instructions said, when I entered flash mode the power led remained off. Erased nand and flashed rom with no issues. Worked a treat and I'm very pleased with it.
Unfortunately my assumption that the second one would be even easier as I'd already done one proved to be wrong.
I tried to enter flash mode but the led stayed on no matter what I did. It did however stay at the blank screen so I proceeded to erase the nand. This seemed to complete fine, but when I then went onto flash the rom, it seemed to go a lot faster than the previous one and resulted in a download IDB error?
I did a bit of research and after opening the 2 boxes up it appears the insides are different. The bricked box has a heatsink and has a couple of mediatec chips. Is this the V1 clone.
So guys, I need a bit of help unbricking this box. Is it definitely going into flash mode, even though the led stays on contrary to Finless's instructions?
