Zoomtak M8 unbrick method Now with DOWNLOAD

[LawlessPPC]

Ive finally managed to unbrick a Zoomtak M8 after many days details to follow shortly........... but trust me it works. it involves making an sd card with amlogic boot card maker. I will upload all files needed as zoomtak will not give the necessary files to unbrick. Ive been in talks with the for the past few days and because im not a main dealer they wont help due to protecting their software which is just their version of u-boot.bin. Just to let you know the box ive been working on would only display a black screen (it was giving hdmi signal but just a black picture this obviously is not the same as no hdmi signal but may work for any in this situation). I would say if your cpu gets warm when switched on then its should be salvageable. Anyone interested please post. I also have V3.4.1.rom


Heres a download link https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzG...ew?usp=sharing

I have an M8 here that had twrp recovery on it with factory image and was trying to restore the megatron image from another m8 (backup) from twrp, it got to 70% and failed the box rebooted fine to original software but would not show the Apps just a blank screen, I booted to twrp recovery and tried again this time when the box rebooted it had steady red light.
No matter what I do I just get steady red light as soon as I power on and nothing on screen.
Is their any way to recover this?
Thanx.

Right the best I can do is post an sdcard image I'll start uploading now

[LawlessPPC]

Its 4.26GB and needs win32diskimager to write to an 8GB sdcard

[LawlessPPC]

Then push in reset button with sdcard in slot as you power up keep reset button pressed for ten seconds if all goes well you should see a bot with a progress bar leave alone till you get to an android home screen
