I got the driver to load fine by disabling Win 8.1 digital signature, that isn't the issue.

The PT 3.09 simply won't completely write the ROM to the card, it keeps crashing.

Yes it will you have to disable driver signature. Google it.

If you're having difficulties writing to the SD card, try another. There's nothing special about my 8gb Transcend HC and it works every time.

AW80 USB Driver Not Recognized by Windows 8.1

Unless I'm mistaken, no way the USB driver *INF file provided by Tronsmart for the AW80 is going to be recognized by Windows 8.1.

It just won't load the driver no matter what I try, even manually installing the INF.

So, the SD card method, although I haven't got it to work yet, seems like the only solution for me with Windows 8.1.

PhoenixCard puts files on a hidden partition - they're there, just not visible. Insert the SD card in your box and plug in the power cord. Wait at least 7 minutes before removing the card and rebooting.

Thanks. I see that the partition size does change after the burn so all must be ok. It still did not bring the Draco back from the dead so I have to investigate further.

For some reason I am not able to write the image to SD card. I have tried all the cards I have from class 4 to class 10 up to 94mb/s and all the cards are empty after the burn. I get all the success messages but when I check the cards they are empty. I have tried the sd card reader on my pc and the usb one but no luck. Also tried different roms. Am I missing something? My Draco went dead and I am not able to flash it with Phoenix USB method. Is there any other way to burn the image to SD card? What kind of cards are compatible with this method?

Hi guys,

Can I just ask what is the easiest/simplest way to flash a Tronsmart cx-919 android stick

This method is for AllWinner devices. Cx919 is Rockchip Rk3188 based. So this method will not work. For Rockchip devices, use linuxium scripts found in other threads.

Hi guys,

Can I just ask what is the easiest/simplest way to flash a Tronsmart cx-919 android stick.
I blindly followed instructions and used Bob's Finless, which worked although there appear to be some issues with video playback and it freezing after a short while requiring a restart to resolve the issue. I am thinking I may need to reflash to resolve this issue and want to know whether best method is via SD card or what I did previously?

Thanks

For me, the best method is SD card if that works.

No cable, no driver, nothing complicated

Bob,

My TELOS AW80 died after less than 24 hours, very disappointing!

All I did was power it down, and when I rebooted, nothing!

So, I can reflash now with Phoenix Tools 3.3.3 and your image, is that correct?

Just waiting for delivery of a USB 3.0 cable to reflash.

I tried to write the image to 64GB Ultra SD card, but PT 3.09 produces an error when I use the internal SD card reader of my Win 8.1 64 Dell desktop PC.

Thanks for everything you do!
