You could attempt a few other cables, some are still able to make contact. You can also try trimming off 1mm of plastic around the connector of a spare cable to make the plug a little longer.
I can't comment on the sound when operating the reset button though, but I'm sure someone else can.

Wasn' there some procedure for flashing a softbricked unit?

not that i am aware of, will try the cable thing before sending this ?!!@#$## back to china.

I suggest you try the two methods of flashing I suggested just now, before starting to trim your cables. Hopefully its just a corrupted bootloader, and/or corrupted data in IDB (NAND flash). These are mainly issues that can be solved by the right routine in flashing.

Edit: Did you try, in RKAndroidTool included with the RileyROMs - to include the Loader with the flash? It seems to be de-selected by default. I suspect the bootloader might be whats corrupted in your case.
If this doesn't work, you can using RKAndroidTool for EraseIDB, then try flashing stock rom with RockShipBatchTool v1.7 and use the Restore button instead of upgrade.

what should be the address of the loader section because parameter is already taking 0000000000

and much appreciated for your help

well the second method didn't work stuck at 4 penguin for 5 minutes so far using the RockShipBatchTool. waiting for clarifications on the address in the loader for the first method.

by the way try the trim cable deal but not luck.

Good question. Hopefully @rrileypm can shine some light on that, he calculated the parameters if I'm not mistaken.

As long as the loader is first on the list, and it is checked, it should load and flash with no offset.

You might consider trying one of the other parameter files just in case as a test.

I'm currently traveling...so not much help, sorry.

You could try to flash a stock rom with the "restore" option while waiting for a reply ferom rrileypm

True that. A fellow tablet owner in need.... Anyways, now you have rrileys reply - just check it and go. And as he suggested, if it doesnt work out, you could try out one of the other parameters. If none of this work - try eraseIDB first, then restore.

Keep us posted, details pease. I'm off to bed :yawn

After you flash...how far are you getting.

You see the Pipo kernel boot logo?

Do you see a static slide of the boot animation?

Does it get to the boot animation?

How far does it get?

This will help me troubleshoot.

One more question..which recovery are you using? In the kit I uploaded today CWM was the default. Try renaming it and flash the stock recovery as recovery.img.

See if that works for you.

Are there any revisions of the M9? Could he be stockpiling firmware and/or adressing for the potentially wrong revision? *begging that flashing the loader works out*

It really sounds like a recovery issue. If he can still get the tablet in flash mode, he doesn't need to flash the loader.
