[AtomeX]

Hello
I'm new, thank's for all the good info here.

I have bricked yesterday my M8 PCB M8_V8 BCM4335 with the openelec 6 firmware, after a couple of search, the box is starting again, i have restored this firmware M8S_S812_2GB_26102015.zip with the sdboot card tool. But i have the M8S logo.

I want to put the good version of openelec, can somebody hellp me ?
Regards.

Is that board an M8 V8_8 with a date code of 20150923? Is so, could your please help me and another forum user and explain how you exactly unbricked, as we currently have a blue light when turning on but no access to USB burn tool or recovery. Please read http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-...-usb-burn-tool for more info. Thanks if you can help.

Hi Dc0de hi hope it will help you, I have use the Ploggy response from this post plus other thinks.

(THIS IS TO UNBRICK NOT UPDATE YOUR M8)
(USE AT YOUR OWN RISK)

Things your going to need:
M8S_S812_2GB_26102015.zip
Amlogic_SDcardMaker_BootcardMaker_burnBootCard_v1. 0.1.zip
A Blank SD Card

1.Download the Firmware from here: https://mega.nz/#!V08yhQ6C!e37b8y7F6...T1b5Ld2vwmTJa0
and SD Boot Maker from here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/mf...ard_v1.0.1.rar

2.Once Firmware and SD Card Maker has downloaded, extract each to a folder, insert your blank SD Card and run the SD Card Maker.

3.load your SD Card, check the "To Partion and Format" option and select U-Boot.bin file from the extracted M8S_S812_2GB_26102015.zip NOT FROM THE SD CARD MAKER FOLDER and click "MAKE"

4.Once the Card is Formatted and finished drag the 4 files from the M8S_S812_2GB_26102015.zip (Recovery.img, aml_autoscript, factory_update_param.aml and bcm4335-ota-20151013.zip) to your now formatted SD CARD.

5.Pop your SD Card into your M8 Box and hold in the Reset Button (in the AV port) and power up the Box with HDMI

My method / because i can't go to recovery
6. If all went well the blue light should come on with black screen wait until you see reboot black screen and release the switch (I never seen the recovery menu)

7. Leave your box like that for 10 minutes and power off and reboot without the card.

Good luke.
