stratotak

OK..Its not bricked. Boot loads up an eventually it settles down but lighthome was just a white screen.I was able to use hot key for kodi and was able to bring up Kodi.Then go to programs<Android apps then do a reset storage.It rebooted and I was able to setup internet and bluetooth keyboard>BUt still lighthome is broken.I had to download another manager to get it to work.So it works  fine with Asus launcher but lighthome only shows a white screen.Anyone know how I can reinstall lighthome??Like I said I got it working like it should with Asus launcher..SoLighthome must be c0rrupted..

If you can go into update section and reset to factory default.

Try another firmware on SD card.
I had a similar problem when i wanted to return to stock firmware, and had to go thru a custom one, before the stock got accepted.
Also, syou can try with amlogic usb burning tool, but you need a male to male usb cable.

What about pressing the hole under the box (with the power plug unplugger) and while pressing the hole re-insert the power plug? That's should let you enter the recover mode and from there you should be able to factory reset

I have done all that.Hard  reset times 3. it will go through erasing and then after a bit it reboots like it should and I get the statup process.Where yo choose language,timezone,wifi.Afterthat you can see it trying to start Lighthome but cant.
I was thinking like some one said try another firmware.Maybe 1.6.JUst making sure I did it right first time I tried it.Just download  firmware for sd card.Move files to root of sdcard and do a hard reset?????

I think what i need to do is whatever firmware is on there.is damaged or corrupted.I dont have exact messages  from the fails.Im not going to go through trying to reset it just do get the error messages.I think what I need o do is erase the firmware and get that mess cleared out.Then install firmware .I dont know If that USB burning tool is what I need. to do???I dont even know If beelink releaded a new firmware tomorrow If that would work.I put firmware image on sdcard and tried to  upgrade the image.It said already have latest version..Something like that.
Like I said I think I think I need to erase the thing and get iand flash  firmware to it

Hi stratotak,

Have you managed to clear out the problem? I have exactly the same issue right now. Did you find any solution for that, and if you have how have you solved it?

Thanks
