Half-bricked?

[spoid]

Hello, I can not find any thread that helps me with my problem. D:

I got the following mk808 device: https://imgur.com/lFrwAcW

I used this tutorial on my stock rom: http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.p...4-04-for-MK808

While it starts booting linux, it doesn't really work so I have kinda given up and just wanted to try Finless 2.1. However, I can not even enter recovery mode anymore. Looks like the firmware change replaced it with the linux-boot. If I don't press the LED button during startup, it will still boot into my working stock rom jellybean and works just fine. But I simply can't enter recovery. Reboot apps don't work either.

What is the simplest fix I can apply?

Thanks!

You don't have to enter recovery to flash a ROM. Just flash like normal

Have you tried all the Methods to enter flash mode?
From Finless Rom Readme:

To put the mk808 into flash mode the easy way:
1) Remove any SDcard you may have installed.
2) Connected the supplied USB cable from the device OTG port to your PC.
It will power up and windows may detect the device. DO not worry about that. We need it powered up.
3) In the ROM kit run the ROM FLash Tool.exe.
4) YOu should see at the bottom it says "Found RKAndroid Mass Storage USB"
If it does not say that go into settings and make sure that
a) USB storage is turned ON
b) Under developer options, USB debugging is turned off
5) Once it says "Found RKAndroid Mass Storage Usb" in the flash tool click the "Reboot to Flash Mode" button.
6) Wait up to at least 10 seconds. The unit should reboot and the screen for the mk808B will be black (no ouptut).
7) If the unit does not reboot to a blank screen, repeats steps above
Congrats! You are now in flash mode! To get out of it at any time just unplug the USB power to the mk808B.
It will boot back up normally out of flash mode.

If reboot to flash mode does not work, then use this alternate proceedure.
In my ROM kit is another folder called alternate_reboot_to_flash_tool
This is the RKBatch tool. Run this tool and the 1 box should be pink.
If it is not pink again make sure:
a) USB storage is turned ON
b) Under developer options, USB debugging is turned off
Once you have a pink box, Click the "switch" button at the bottom and this should put it into flash mode.
Close this RKBtach tool now.

Flash mode using the reset button:
If you do not ever see the flash tool say "Found RKAndroid MASS Storage USB"
Or reboot to flash mode does not work, then use this manual proceedure.
1) Have the USB cable unplugged.
2) Near the HDMI port are 2 holes in each corner. One is the blue LED hole.
The other in the corner is a reset button under the hole.
Use a paper clip or something to push the reset button in this hole.
I actually enlarged the hole so a paper clip would fit.
You will feel the button "click" when you are on it.
3) Hold this button down and while holding it, plug the USB cable from the PC to the OTG port on the mk808B.
4) YOu should here windows BONG it found a new device. The LED will not light!
5) You are now in ROM flash mode. Read below for installing drivers.
