MXQ-4K flashed brick

#1

I quote:

You can always flash the rock, it never bricks unless some hardware damage occurs.

My MXQ-4K was looks fine, until I was tried to upgrade. I have Fedora Linux, and I like Linux. With RkFlashKit I was recognize the rk-3228 chip on MXQ-4K board, and several times flashed firmware by partitions via RkFlashKit - unsuccessful. Then,

./upgrade_tool uf /opt/update_7.1.2_rk3328_public_8189etv_20170616.img

Wait For Loader Fail - and at this point I got the brick.

The board doesn’t recognized in lsusb list with factory reset pressed, the red led on board is lighted.

You have a rk322x device probably still with nand storage, so don’t flash rk3328 firmwares or bootloaders since that will brick your device.

mo123, already bricked once! :slight_smile:
Now try to load firmware,

I have restored with command
./upgrade_tool uf /opt/mxq-4k_1G8G_rtl8189_20171113_r1.img
However, the screen is showing only MXQ-4K logo :frowning:

RkFlashkit show more - looks like itsa rk3228 nor rk322x device!
