Firmware for "S1" clone of A10 MK802.

[mechaone]

Hi all. Im thinking of buying an A10 based mk802 clone from a local second hand shop purely as a backup device so my kids don't experience video down time while I mess with my MK802iv. Before I purchase it I would like to know I can wipe it with a fresh FW install. Smooth video playback is essential, and my only hard requirement of the stick. Problem is that I can't identify the manufacturer, nor locate suitable firmware. I'm fairly certain it hosts 1gig of ram and a 4gig NAND.
If anyone can assist me I would appreciate it.

Well, I bought the stick and a clone of the Measy RC11 air mouse/kb for $20cad. Air mouse gives sketchy response to movement, but I now see why theyre so popular.
The stick is of unknown branding as well. Turns out it's an A10S variant of the MK802+. 1gb Hynix ram, 4gb Hynix NAND, A10S SOC and a Realtek RTL8188CTV net chipset.
I can only find conflicting info about which firmware versions are or arent compatible. Not sure if I should employ Uberoid or a stock Riko rom.
Any leads or hints would be grand. Thanks, guys.

Yuck. Guy at the shop I bought the stick from tried to flash it with something incorrect. Have spent the last week trying all I could to boot or reflash it. Cant get my XP box to recognize it at all. Livesuit and Phoenixcard have proven useless for flash. The closest I came to the pc finding the stick was while fiddling with drivers and attempting to short nand pins. Even then it gave an odd entry in Device Manager, which I neglected to write down when I saw it. Thinking I had found a fix I restarted my pc. Havent had any luck since..
Does anyone know what nand pins to short to prompt FEL mode on an MK802?
I will post pics of the stick pcb later tonight.
Thanks all.

(Edit: Finally stumbled upon the obvious. It's a Joinwin PC-JW02.)

Here are pics of the stick in question. Hope someone can help...:

Pressing reset button down before you plug the power could surely also turn the beast to FEL mode
if not ask me, i'll give you more solution

Good Luck
