If someone can make an imgc file from Ugoos Linux single boot perhaps, we can try to run it from a micro-sd card and erase emmc perhaps to revive it.
Or I can try from a working device to make a backup, but someone must give instructions how to make a backup imgc file with HDDRawCopy.
Hi Mo123 & all others ,
i do not know how , but the Ugoos Linux .img , that i made with HDDRC , booted after 4-5 times of trying ,
even the Storage is like it must 12.7GB of 15.2GB free , but means that i now can use the Flashtool again

HI
Can you give instructions what Linux image you used, how to make it and how to get it booting?
Then I can try something later today and see if AndroidTool can flash normal firmware again perhaps.

Hi Mo123 ,
i took the stock Xubuntu File that can be downloaded from Ugoos , made a SDCard with HDDRC ,
pluged in the SD and then Power , first 3-4 Times only typical Linux Bootscreen poped up and
disapeared after seconds , twice this happend , while one boot try , after that only Blackscreen ,
but with the latest try , it booted within seconds .
Do you really believe that it now is possible to flash again ???
hope you get it , good luck , please report your results ,

This one?
And the ut3 image or the older Xubuntu one?
I just want to try exact one.
Maybe that's why I couldn't boot before because I didn't try multiple times or not flashed with HDDRawCopy.
I remember how I bricked my device.
I flashed Ugoos LibreELEC image that didn't work then unpacked it and flashed individual images.
I see if you load LE image it says for device id RK3202A not RK32 like all other firmwares.

Hi Mo123 ,
i took the Xubuntu 0.3.1 image , the Version before , i think i downloaded it from the
Downloadcenter on UgoosPage , shall try (in a few minutes) to flash my UT3 with a
Flashtool on PC , think i gone try the 307 , press thumbs ,
my Box bricked while using , pow , Blackscreen reboot , all okay , but later again once
My UT3 is in the same boat. Cannot write to eMMC. Bad chip, poor solder joint(s), whatever it is, won't take firmware. If I am not mistaken, the eMMC is not needed to run from a card. If eMMC is damaged, boot strategy looks elsewhere.
Other than a Linux from SD, my UT3 is out. My UT3+ had its HDMI port damaged by lightning strike, so it too is out. For the first time in years, I am Ugooless.

Wow, a ghost from the past. Haven't seen you around lately???
I have always been here, lurking in the shadows. :-)
But yeah, box wise I am a little short for new material. I will look into changing that.
I noticed ya didn't say ya missed me. LOL

Hi ,
not sure if the eMMC is damaged , if i make read Chip&Flash Test with AT the Storage
is always shown correct , today i made with AT2.61 , in LoaderMode , from UT3 & UT4
a Dev.Partion log , diffrence looks like this .
UT3
No LBA Size
02 trust not exist / Tool shows here "misc" row
04 0*0000e000 0*00008000 kernel
07 0*00036000 0*0001a000 backup
UT4
No LBA Size
02 0*00004000 0*00002000 trust
04 is here the "resource" row
07 is for "recovery"
first i thought the "letters" are bugs , but it looks like that is normal , because in UT4 are
letters too , but i am no Dev, to say that this rows look good , later i upload the Pictures ,
My UT3 boots straight to MASKROM mode. I grew tired of fooling with it, at least for now. Once it appeared to take a flash, tool said it was successful, no change in the UT3 after that flash.
As a challenge, I might put more time in to it, but for now, its job is too easily replaced for me to justify the time.
Same for the UT3+, I may attempt to repair the HDMI circuit one day.
My hope is a future 3399 will take the place of my affection for the UT3(+).
My hope is to get LibreELEC running on this device.
I already got it to boot to the logo but then it gets stuck.
But I will probably need some help from Ugoos or elsewhere to boot further.
There is already a LibreELEC image but it's ancient and full of bugs and not compatible with latest LE code or kernels.
The CPU is a lot more powerful than RK3328 or S905x, so 1080p Netflix, Amazon Prime Video might be possible.
It might breath some new life in these old RK3288 devices.

Hi ,
i had this too with MRM , but always if i used the KK Rom 2.2.0 and tried to flash ,
it always ended up the same , but after that the "LoaderMode" worked again , i
only use Boxes for Gaming & Surfing , dont have fast Internet , only with Simcard ,
so it could be still a good Box for me , but i think it will end in the TRASH because
a restore is not possible , a Wonder must happen , 1 Year brick is enough ,
i already have a X99/RK3399 but same here , we need more Rom support ,

Hi ,
are you still in contact with Ugoos ??? is this Company still alive ??? ,
the support here was & is still so bad , really dont know why we still
have the "Ugoos" Section , the few Threads can be moved to stock
RK Section & Ugoos can be deleted , Ugoos support is ike ZERO ,

I doubt I will dispose of my UT3 or UT3+ anytime soon, maybe hopeless, but I am an optimist. However I am a pragmatic optimist, so my hope is seriously limited for my UT3(+).
