        I can't remember if it also work at amlogic devices but maybe give it a try:


        If I remember correctly maybe also SPMC support a reboot to recovery at exit ???

          I know there only exist OTG via a jumper patch but there also exist adb via wifi:
          Code:
          adb reboot recovery
          I also know that a adb bin sometimes exist at the android, so you can also try this command at terminal at the device (maybe also without 'adb')...??? (never tried it)

            I tried every possible way but it didn't work. It's like there isn't a recovery installed on the box. I'm stuck

                Isn't it possible to boot the recovery.img via sd card?

                Maybe you should use one of the updates which contains a recovery.img and delete all other not need stuff (e.g. img/zip) at it...

                    No, sorry, but I think I often read about problems by flashing new rom via SD because of missing the recovery.img at that SD, so I thought, maybe it is possible to use one of these updates with an recovery.img at the SD BUT without the update-files (e.g in img/zip format)...
                    But I think you also need this script file ('xyz.aml' or something like this (I forget the name))...
                    And the idea/hope is, that the flashing process will crash because of missing content but will use the recovery.img at the SD so you are at that moment at the recovery... BUT only an idea???

                    I don't think that a "boot" SD will help, especially you need a fitting uboot which I think is missing for this device ???

                      I had same problem. Get a recovery.img from any M8 rom, then put it in your Sd and put also the rom which works on your box. The sd card should be empty before putting the files in.
