Really hoping someone technically minded can help me out please?
I appear to have the MX2 box from hell and despite trying every combination of Roms and every recovery method - my box can not be successfully flashed other than with a manufacturer supplied Rom image (Which is a rubbish 1.1.4 version full of bugs). I have managed to get Matricom 1.1.5 but it had issues with data partition. The pre 1.1.5 patch is impossible as the upgrade app isn't in my version of Android. I can flash Linux using OTA method but it only boots once directly following the flash then hangs on the first boot screen on subsequent attempts. The box will never enter the Android recovery manu unless a pre-prepared SD card with a boot.bin hidden in an extra partition exists.
I seem to have 10 MTD partitions which looks odd as most others have 9 from what I can see. Any ideas if one of these partitions is causing the behaviour I am experiencing?
dev: size erasesize name
MTD0: 00800000 00200000 “logo”
MTD1: 00800000 00200000 “aml_logo”
MTD2: 00800000 00200000 “recovery”
MTD3: 00800000 00200000 “boot”
MTD4: 40000000 00200000 “system”
MTD5: 20000000 00200000 “cache”
MTD6: 10000000 00200000 “backup”
MTD7: 18c800000 00200000 “data”
MTD8: 00060000 00001000 “bootloader”
MTD9: 00008000 00001000 “ubootenv”.
Further to this, this is the aml_autoscript that has to be on the SD card to flash the device with the toothpick method.
'VÇ_DSà)`°9˛/amlogic auto scriptXif mmcinfo
then
if fatexist mmc 0:1 u-boot.bin
then fatload mmc 0:1 82000000 u-boot.bin
echo @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ erase spiflash : need about one minute @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
sf probe 2
sf erase 0 600000
sf write 82000000 0 60000
echo @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ erase nandflash @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
nand erase 0
reset
fi
fi
This script points the device to look for the uboot.bin in the special partition created by the SD card maker tool provided by the manufacturer. This is the only way to factory reset this device - nothing else works - I have tried everything.
Would anyone be clued up enough to suggest any amendments to this script to allow me more freedom in flashing rome.
Ultimately, I would like to flash the latest Matricom images with OTA updates or a Linux build with 13.1 gotham but as things stand this appears impossible.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Chris
