Can anyone help, desperately need a bootable SD card / ROM image for Chinese 2.20.07 rom please, to help recover XDA2 stuck in boot loader mode. Tried all other methods but it bombs out, and hope this will work as a last resort.
Any help or advice appreciated.

Hey
Your title post is very unclear.
Anyway you might want to try removing your battery for more than a half an hour.
Charge it using the cradle battery charger while you are at it.
Pop it back in and see what happens.
The unit is stuck in 'Serial/USB' Boot Loader mode ONLY.
When you try to do a re-flash using ANY version of the Flasher prog, and ANY rom, before you even get to the stage where it tells you on screen then version in phone, and to be upgraded etc, phone screen goes off completely and the program reports an fatetl error, do you wish to send to microsoft etc.
I thought I could try using the SD card with image on etc, simular to method described in another thread, but the image uploaded on the site is for only Tmoble devices etc.
This roms fails with Select=1 not allowed etc.
So I thought if someone has the same image but configered with the Chinese ID etc, it will override this error, hence this post.
I have tried all other methods, including removing battery etc, which all fail.

Looks to me like the problem is on your PC.
1.- If you have an old USB port/computer I strongly reccomend you to try another PC. My USB 2.0 PC failed miserably with many apps until I installed a cheap brand new internal USB card. ALL problems gone! (Original was a SYS chip on board, very bad...)
2.- Try a DIRECT USB port. DO NOT go through any kind of USB HUB.
3. Check other USB ports.
4.- Finally reboot and/or try any other method is those ones fail.
Our XDAII are sturdy devices, though they may fail.
Good luck!

Hello at all......
I came from Germany, so sorry for my bad english.......
From a Friend, i get an Lenovo A660 Android Phone, this Phone died during an update he made......
Only shows the lying Android with the sign.
I can boot it with luck, but then the Homescreen is lost, i only can make preferences.
I load the custom rom from cybermouse, get into the recoverymode and get a failure message ''not signed''
Then i can find the original rom, but i get the message about boot failure, sometimes i can install from sd card, but nothing happens.
i sit here on osx.........any ideas for an Apple boy, to solve this problem, and recover that phone ?????
Hi, I don't know if this is still up to date, ... anyway:
Theres a step by step instruction in cybermaus thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1874403
"Instructions:
By default, the ROM will not overwrite USERDATA or FAT. If you want a clean slate, first extract empty.userdata.rar and/or empty.fat.rar
- Read bgcngm flash tutorial.
- Read it again
- Start Flash Tool (v3.1222, in my Dev-Host)
- Load scatter file
- Take out USB cable and replace battery
- Press the download button in the flash tool
- Connect the USB cable
- Wait for the flashing to complete"
The most important thing is: http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com/2012/05/mt6575-flashing-tutorial.html
You have to flash your phone first before you can install a custom rom!
(I don't know how to do it on osx... I've done it on Win with my Lenovo A660 and it worked!)

Thanks in advance!
Best regards, Stoio.
Im sorry for my English but im from Bulgaria.
Unbrick amlogic tablets
Hello stoio
I have almost the same Tablet. It's a Prestigio PMP5580C, for me it is labeld as Intenso Tab 814, but they are completely the same. I have tried to find the u-boot.bin in the stock firmware, but I didn't sucess yet. I've downloaded several tools which allows me to make my 16 GB MicroSD card recognized as a 512 MB SD card, there I have to put the files on it to unbrick my tablet, it's amlogic (like my username) (someone told me that this is the chipset). It has a TOSHIBA TC58TEG6DCJTA00 NAND flash chip of 8 GB capazity. I also need help by getting my tablet unbricked.
In the future Inwant to learn with this amlogic based tablet how to create custom ROM's, recoveries and custom boot splash screens.
Thanks for any help, I reall appreciate your help,
Please note that I'm from Germany and my English is not good as it should used to be, but I have a dictionary (as a normal book) where I can get good communication with you. I like the idea of using english only.
Every Image (.img) were made with the dd command, I need to look inside in the images and open the content, I used a hex editor and tried to strip off the 2k of data, but I can't success. I'm using this tutorial:
I'm using this hex editor under linux: Okteta
I don't know how to delete the 2k of data. I need to know what content the partitions have to unbrick my amlogic based tablet, cause I'm seeing still the white android robot, and the charging battery or charged plugin picture, but this tablet doesn't have a bootloader or recovery so I'm out of ideas, the only way for me is to use a microsd card like an live cd to automatically let this tablet flash stock firmware, but where is it? Please help me out, I meight be wrong, it's possible that different repairing ways exist, too.

Step 1 Download & Extract the bundle for your device
You will be getting either a zip or 7z file, personally I would use 7zip to extract these files, you should get a recovery.img and also a folder called TWRP. If you have these two things move on to step 2
Step 2 - Locations
Both SD Card and USB being formatted Fat32 - Some boxes except most s905 you can use the SD card for both TWRP folder and recovery.img, Regardless I use SD only for recovery.img, so drag and drop the recovery.img onto the Fat32 SD Card and Drag and drop the TWRP folder onto the Fat32 USB drive. Done
Step 3 - Formatting before installing.
Connect everything but the power - Connect a real USB mouse/Airmouse to the box due to the regular remote will not work, connect the USB drive and connect the SD Card, Everything but power. Some boxes have a reset button on the side and some the reset button is inside the AV jack, you will feel it, If in the AV jack simply use a toothpick or use a Q Tip with the cotton end removed and slide it in the AV jack and you will feel the button.
HOLD THIS BUTTON AND DO NOT LET GO - At the same time plug it in and keep holding, boxes with physical power button press this now. You will be presented with a blue screen, you will get a read only scren most likely, slide to proceed.
First thing first I always recommend backing up partitions incase something is to go wrong. There are tons of cloned boxes its hard to cover them all. I personally would go to backup. Locate where it says storage, and change from internal to usb otg for USB drive or external sd for your SD Card. Backup all your partitions.
When done, go back. Press the little house button on the screen or the back button until back at the TWRP menu, go to restore, Make sure usb otg or external sd is chosen, wherever you put the TWRP folder, If you are using a box not from me PM me the model and I will confirm what to restore, for example, M8, M8S BCM and AP models, MX3, M10, You can restore all, S912 boxes some are different so PM me to be safe. After I tell you what to restore do so. Let it do its thing. Once done, reboot and enjoy. If it fails by any means. Do not reboot, just go back and choose wipe, format data, type yes press enter. Once done just go back and restore data JUST BY ITSELF so untick everything but data, once finished restore all the other partitions. All done
Enjoy the build - When you first boot my firmware let it sit after it boots for a good minute or two. It will auto load my custom firmware patches and more.
If you are using M8, M8S, M10, MXq you need to follow below -
When you start the TV box. Let it sit a few minutes and first things first. In Android applications click on No Frills CPU - the accelerometer and when it opens click apply and than exit. It is super important with my custom rom to unlock the other 2 CPU Cores and the other 4 GPU Threads. If this does not make sense just go into my apps and look for no frills, same app as on the desktop you will just see the name instead.
NOT EVERY FIRMWARE HAS NO FRILLS - IF NOT DO NOT WORRY ABOUT IT.
i do not own the firmware
credits go to ghostware.
Congrats!
Just a clarification, which ROM are you using as "skeleton", and what ROM did you take the /system partition from?

if you have the recovery.img file on the root of the sd card, toothpick method should take you to TWRP where you can then flash the zip. did you give it some time (with the reset button pressed in)? it can take approx 10 seconds sometimes.

Either your download is corrupt, or you are not using TWRP to perform the update.
Has anyone been having random freezing and reboots?

I also had that problem even though I flashed the square remote zip after the lollipop update. I might have flashed the M8N remote though to be honest and I don't have the box anymore to test more remote patches.
You can try the M8S remote zip from the link below and report back if it worked for you.

I had the exact same problem when trying to upgrade to something M8S+ based. Worked perfectly the first time, but I could not start it up after a cold boot. Have you tried my original approach instead using the Team DevDigitel ROM?

And what happens if you first go back to your stock Kitkat 4.4 ROM (with USB burning tool), and then try with my original approach (with SD card)?

Help needed M8S ap6360 v1.3 20150921
Can someone make a TRWP backup from this rom ? specially the boot file
Also want to know where to download the M8s+ rom what daniel uses in this treat
Thanks
Hi d4nielr,
Wanted to thank you for the excellent work in compiling this ROM to support m8s app6330.
After trying out various ROMs and in the process bricking my device several times and un-bricking it using the burning tool, I finally came across your forum.
Thanks for the wonderful rom and the installation was a breeze and smooth sailing throughout.
Btw, for the installation I can only use the other most USB port. If I insert the sd card into the inner most usb port, it will take me to the bootloader.
So, for the TEAMWIN logo to appears, I need to put the sd card into the outer most usb port which is located at the back of my m8s unit.
cheers.......
Update.....
Unfortunately, after a cold boot, it doesn't work any longer. Back to kitkat using usb burning tool.
