These are the 2 errors to be expected.

I suspect you might have a different version of the board, these versions I made and tested them with are only booting when button is pressed.

Also, after removing the power cord, did you also remove the sd card? If you didn't then no wonder it does the automated script again.

There should be a progress indicator !!! It gives screen info via HDMI during installation.

As I specifically warned, do not install anything manually. Follow my instructions or prepare to follow the consecuences. The manual installation does not work and may cause permanent damage to your box.

Try the way I described - it is by far the only easy way to recover a dead box (there are similar methods, but they follow the same prcedure, but in a more complicated way.

If it does not work, out of luck .......

---------- Post added at 01:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 AM ----------

Linux uses different partitions, it may have altered the partiton table.

You will need to hack your box by UART method ..... if you know how ...

Sometimes even UART does not help.

The process takes about 15-20 minutes. BE PATIENT. If you pull the plug too many times during the install, you may end up with an expensive paperweight.

I've tried on 2 different computers, but I could not get HDDRawCopy1.02Portable to work. It says the task progress completes at 100%, 10.3 MB/s and Current sector: 1,163,064, but the message window says that it aborts, citing:

Cannot write to target, aborting...

Average speed 10.3 MB/s

Not working

No joy for me, the process took so little time it's like it didnt even try, it finished in less than 2 minutes and I pulled the power cord and USB then reconnected the power and I just get booted into recovery now...
[General Questions and Answers] jizar:
Got it

I had a problem. I followed the instructions to the nail. and when I booted my box all i got was the Green Dude resetting every 5secs.

But I found the problem, It seems that if you use a 8Gb or higher SD card (or MiniSD with adapter in my case) the system format it as a ExFat.

I tried with a 16Gb SD first and got Android Green guy loop. then i Tried a 8Gb SD. and same thing happened.

Finally I Stole a 4Gb SD from my son's Wii and it worked Flawless.

If anyone had the same problem as I. Try this, it may solve your problem.

I love you!!!!!!!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!! I rewrote the file you gave us to a 16GB Kingston Class 4 HC Micro SD and put that in an SD adapter it worked flawlessly like you said! :)

I do have a question though, why dose it only seem to work on SD cards? It seems bazar to me, they all do the same thing, I mean sure they have different I/O speeds but why would that affect it?

[General Questions and Answers] Hellgamer:
I had a similar problem, no recovery mode and fixed it when I found this at multi-tv

Get Sdcard.exe, uboot.bin and an image with the usual 3 files in it and extract the contents to your desktop.

Now you need an old windows xp pc or laptop and a sdcard of 4gb or greater

Start Sdtool and choose the uboot.bin and sdcard then press make sdcard

If the card is completed and it un-mounts remove and re-insert it, if it does not un-mount do a safe removal then re-insert it.

Now open the card and put uboot.bin, recovery.img, factory_update_parameter.aml and the image g18ref-ota-20140624.zip onto the root of the card (MUST BE IN ROOT NOT IN A FOLDER)

Ok now safely eject the card and power off your mbox / mx2 etc and pop in the sdcard.

Now power the box up it should boot from the sdcard, flash a new loader and update with the new rom

A few minutes later you have a working box with new firmware and xbmc already installed, and it's ROOTED.

Using USB to upgrade after Successful Recovery

Hi Benni,

I followed your method using 1.1.5+ and it installed fine and the old Matricom Android version was running. However, I was hoping once this was working to install the OpenElec firmware from a USB stick as I had done previously.

But when I go back the to system recovery menu, and goto 'apply an update from EXT' and then update from udisk - no files show up. I've tried on a different box (which has the OpenElec firmware on it) and the same USB does work.

I can see that the sd card is still showing all it's zip files when attempting to apply an update - does it have to be placed on the sd card after updating to 1.1.5+?

Thanks,

GJ

mistake
[General Questions and Answers] Curtmania:
I have this device with a "HD18 V2.21" motherboard and a "A12 v1.1" daughterboard, and the procedure fails for me as well..

It was purchased from DX (SKU# 164039) - Description = "Android 4.0 Google TV Player w/ Wi-Fi / 1GB RAM / 4GB ROM - Black" -- Does not seem to exist at DX anymore

I made some UART logs of the process.. Is it NAND size maybe causing the problem? Much of the weirdness seems related to nand.

I did these steps:

1) - Make sure MX device is powered off and power cable removed.

2) - Insert SD card you just created.

3) - Insert a match or a toothpick to reset hole - you will feel a click. (it is the AV hole in the back)

4) - Power on the MX box by inserting power cable, while holding the match in the reset hole.

5) - It will boot to recovery and start installing ROM.

6) - After finishing it will give 2 errors - these do not matter.

The log from this bootup with sd & match is here:

(XDA's noob filter wont let me post links to the log, so I'll just paste the pastebin post id - add it to the back of their URL after a slash)

PASTEBIN: mKPpab5T

At that point in the process I see the dead droid and the two errors on my HDMI display

7) - Remove power cable and insert it again, the device will boot as MATRICOM MIDNIGHT G-BOX MX2

The Log of this failing is here: (HDMI display stays black, but does get a signal)

PASTEBIN: YuBF0gvU

Anyone have a suggestion how to make this a Matricom device?

Hello,

I have a SGS3, model number GT-I9300, Baseband version I9300XXELLA, once i got my phone i directly rooted it using CF-ROOT, and because of that the flash counter was triggered, then after i updated my phone using Kies as i was no longer able to update using OTA because its statues became "modified" i had to re-root again, this triggered the flash counter one more time.

now i need to send my phone to samsung due to hardware malfunction, so i tried using TriangleAway, then i un-rooted the phone using supersu, but after i restarted the phone its status in Settings>about device>status>Device status> is "modified", and i noticed that when i use check for updates it stays checking forever (a whole night) and never finish, and when i go to download mode it says the following:

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9300

CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No

CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official

SYSTEM STATUS: Custom

i was advised to reflash my phone with an official ROM and that i did using "Samsung-Updates.com-GT-I9300-BTU-I9300XXELLA-1356163678" ROM and ODIN 1.85, but yet its the same wither in the device status, checking update takes for ever, and information in the Download Mode!

Can someone please tell me how to reset everything back to its original state wiping all the data on the phone, in detailed steps please!

what i want is to have my phone back as it was saying "normal" in the device status, and official in the SYSTEM STATUS, even if this means downgrading it to an older android version like ICS.

By the way my phone was bought from samsung italy, not attached to any service provider.
