Help Identifying t-r42 device

[skyking_comms]

This is getting confusing.. so are you saying there is no firmware that works apart from the stock which I'm already using?

I'm now finding my VPN doesnt connect. This device is getting worse...

[endera]

In movie i doesn't see a connected power supply. May be not enough power for device. While device is on, set power supply to it.

problem;
can not go recovery mode...

Isn't other stock firmware today, there is only one. I'm trying to get firmware from saller, but without success.

Тry erase nand with tool RKAndroidTool.exe (RKDevelopTool_v1.37) until device is powering.

I can't . immediately closes the device.

Also, you can try the new universal Wasser firmware 1.2.4.

I can't try this firmwares. Anybody, please, check this firmware on board and write about its.

Can you advise how we can change the remote control settings as mine does not work on wasser or lewey custom firmware.

You can try change file /system/usr/keylayout/rkxx-remotectl.kl to file from original firmware szy_rk3188_box_ap6210_131213_en.zip

Use RootExplorer application. You need have root. First, make copy of original file for any case.

Then, change to new file, set permition as on other files in this folder. Set owner to root. (via RootExplorer features). Then, reboot device.

unbricking

I can't . immediately closes the device.

Hey Endera, did you manage to unbrick?

I have same device and managed to brick it at least 3 times by flashing with different roms and mainly when trying linuxium.
I had same issues you had - the device always go off after 5 sec so.
I used the method with "rom masking mode" by making short circuit between 8 & 9 pins on NAND chip.
I got a lot of failures, but you need to keep trying. I used RKBatchToolv1.7 and RKDevelopToolv1.37.
Every time manage to unbrick it in different way - once with BatchTool , once with DevelopTool. Just after let say 3 times failures with one, switch to the other and so.

to unbrick:
1.Load RKBatchTool with your ROM.
2.Load RKDevelopTool with bootloader only from your any ROM v.1.24 is best I think. - once bootloader is OK you can boot device in bootloader mode and flash it.
3.Connect only OTG cable - power is not required.
4.Hold power button and hold it.
5.Short pins 8 and 9 with needle or pin until Batch tool display blue icon and/or DevelopTool display rom masking mode. Remove the needle and send flash command with either tool.
Sometimes even if you not use the needle it is in this mode - probably because the NAND is empty/corrupted - you don't need to make a short-circuit.

Last time after few hours endless attempts I unbricked it with BatchTool.

Thank you .. I succeeded(unbrick)
