If I remember right this Device need an HDMI Device connected to Boot Up.

ok, and the power adapter?

whatever i do, i just cant keep the button pressed while connecting the OTG cable at the same time!

[neomode]

You must press the Reset Button Hold it and connect the micro USB data cable with the otg port.
When Windows detects the Device release the reset button.

[neomode]

Yes there is one more option.
Power up the Device with the USB Cable connected to OTG Port.

Install "Terminal Emulator" from Play Store and type the following:

su
reboot bootloader

I tried 2 cables,
maybe im doing something wrong.

Device is ON, and plugged to the TV through HDMI and to the Power Adapter,
Now i got an OTG cable connected to the OTG port of the Device and it's other head is disconnected,
Im pressing the reset button with a paperclip, waiting 3-5 seconds, and WHILE still pressing, connecting the Disconnected head of the OTG cable to a laptop, KEEP pressing and waiting, nothing happens.

Is this correct?

[neomode]

Yes there is a Failure, you don't have to use the PSU !

Unplug all Cable except HDMI Cable, then press the Reset Button hold it
and only connect the USB from your Computer to the OTG Port.

Then it must Work.

Tried exactly that about 8 times now, its not working.
I see a red light, then 4 penguins on the screen, then the R-BOX logo for a minute, then my launcher.
Either the flash button\component is broken, or something else must be done...

Any tips?
Or the ADB instructions with more depth?

thanks alot and sorry for the inconvenience...

EDIT:
Maybe rooting it first (if possible without flash mode), then using the 2nd method is an option?

[neomode]

OK sorry when I ask you once more, you are sure you press the Reset Button and Hold it and then connect the OTG Port.

I tried again, with the case opened this time, the chip just hangs in the air.
The reset button is Really hard to press on as it is very crooked downwards,
I made the PC recognize it.

Thanks alot, i will continue the flashing process.

[neomode]

! Yes you have it great !

[ElHartoshke]

You are a great person for sticking with me through all this i really appriciate it.

how do I flash the kernel once the rom is installed and booted?

EDIT:
Rom has finished!
I have a kernel image from sam321, how do i install it?

[neomode]

Ok the next Fight ;-)

When the Flash is OK, then Download the Fixed Kernel and Copy it in the Rom Download Directory.
This is the Directory ./Rockdev/Image.
After this Rerun the Flash Tool uncheck all except Kernel, get your Device in Flash Mode and you will Flash only the Kernel.

Thank you so much for the help! I have flashed the Rom and the Kernel, and will test them tommorow.
You are a saint! :P
