mk908 boot loop

[lekoy]

I recently recieved my tronsmart mk908, the v3 version. After 2 days the stick didn't boot anymore. It was stuck at the android logo. After a few reboots with the same result everytime I tried to reflash the official firmware. The result was the same. I tried to flash other available ROMs but the stick gets stuck at the "google tv" or "tronsmart" logo every time. I'm out of options.
So my quesion is, What can I do? Do you guys have an other solution? Other ROMs/firmware? Maybe something with the NAND?

Hello lekoy,

and welcome on freaktab.

Have you tried to erase IDB before flashing any ROM?

Thanks!

Yes I erase IDB before flashing. It tells me erase OK. In te log screen on the right it tells "lower format total (0), current (6)." That seems a bid strange to me. Shouldn't it be current (0)?

Same

I've got the exact same problem. It keeps rebooting, I've tried many diffrent roms, lower formant, IDB, etc. nothing works!?! Please help

Same issue here. V.3 hardware bootloops even with the tronsmart 08/02 stock firmware. I got it to boot when I loaded flashed the jjhkernel for v3 but it would reboot randomly when I would try running any apps.

Hi there unfortunate fellow V3 owner.

I tried every damn rom/kernel combo and what works are only two:

1. MK908-V3-android-4.2.2-jjhmod-v1.0 and

2. MK908-android.4.2.2.jjhmod.universal.v2.01

you can use kernel from MK908-android.4.2.2.jjhmod.universal.v2.01 rom in stock to make it work ( flash stock 0802_update and then just select kernel in jjhmod's v2.01 flasher).

this kernel will work with finless 1.5 and jjhmod 2.2 universal but has some resolution issues - screen too big for TV to display that cannot be fixed by scaling.

just wanna mention "THANX! Tronsmart..."

Still no solution with my V3 stick. I got a link to new firmware from geekbuying, but it doesn't work for me.

@Bolibo, I'll try the solutions you mentioned. I already tried a few ROM/kernel combinations, not sure if I tried this one before.

Seems to be working

This seems to be the most stable build for me at the moment. The Tronsmart ROMS keeps boot-looping, all custom roms the same; with the exception of a few. But they keep om restarting after 5 minutes.
I've installed a custom external WIFI-ANT, this seems to up the connection/reception. Also an using an other 5v/2a power supply. Stil not the best thing. Video frames streaming 720 over wifi keeps buffering/lagging now and then. So if there are any improved ROM's based on the 106j2107_4... I would be very interested.
