    V.2.2 ..same horrible non-heatsink like mine. Alfawise..3/32 RAM/ROM...err...no.. 3/16?

    Flash SCV4 green first then TWRP/OTA SCV7a. (I'm back to SCV1((Android 6, 32 bit)) with this board.)

          Scv1 is still available buried several pages into the Alfawise forum. I posted it somewhere....try searching for SCV1....or I'll try to dig up that old post later.

          ?? USB Burn Tool/computer still sees your China Box?...I'm no fan of the SD card method(I killed one box)

          If you have the proper 2.2 version firmware ...try holding reset button and plugging in power at the same time(desperate times)..it can help some tricky Burns...but search for a bit more info, you don't want a "hard brick"

            Thank you. Yes, the box is recognized by my PC and my Notebook. I tried with two several USB cables. But it always breaks after 2% or 4%. Do you think that the reason could be the boot, that I probably erased?

              It is possible...but that has less to do with re-flashing and more to do with software that thinks you are now inserting the wrong firmware.
              If you go Android 6 you will have to erase boot loader again(Android 6 vs 7 very different).



              If this fails, I would suggest "shorting" the NAND chip and trying USB Flash Tool (Ver: 2.05.07?). Choose proper Android 7 factory firmware for your 2/16 and if successful boot up...consider SCV4 then OTA SCV7a.

                Hi ReaperMan,

                I apreciate your support. Many thanks for this. I have allready found this Version


                and I got this run !!!. Thank you for your suggestion with SCV1. I installed this via USB. My now my question is:

                Which Version of SCV4 and how can I now install it? Also via USB? With erasing bootloader?

                  I'd suggest enjoying your China Box for several days before risk of flashing again.

                  Flash with burn tool SCV4 Green(Android 7). (Yes...remember to Erase Boot Loader ...Now Android 6 going to Android 7)

                  Then TWRP/OTA SCV7a.

                    Good idea. But now I have following problem: the Device is rooted and I can't start Horizon GO application. I tried to instal magiks hide root apk but I can't. The installation stops with logo screen. Are there any alternative possibilieties to hide root for example with Xposed Framework. Any suggestions?

                    Greetings!

                      SCV1 has been already rooted with SuperSU. Maybe remove SuperSu without removing root...probably brick or unroot your device.
                      Superceleron would have better input obviously.

                      Search: forum.xda-developers.com. Chainfire's Supersu. He had a mini flash img to hide SuperSu root?

                      And take a peak here but you may be "digging your own hole" as it were.
