Beelink GT1 bricked, please help

Jhonnie

This are the steps I'm doing:

0º Everything is disconected from the computer and also from the GT1
1º Start USB Burning Tool v2.0.8, set language to English.
2º Load the .img file, that on my case is "GT1_311M0.img" since I have the GT1 Ultimate Board q201_9377.
3º Go to File->Import Image and select the "GT1_311M0.img" to load. I get the Image check popup box.
4º I have the configuration on the USB Burning Tool set to: Erase Flash "X" - Force erase all, all the other check boxes are unpicked.
5º I press the start button on the USB Burning Tool software.
6º I plug the USB Cable A to A, on the side USB port from the GT1 Ultimate, and the LED comes ON.
7º I connect the power cord to the wall plug and to the GT1 Ultimate.
8º I plug the USB Cable A to A, to the USB 3.0 from the computer.

It is supposed to ear the windows sound but nothing happens.

I have tested many variations that I can remenber:
- Pressing and hold the reset button on the bottom of GT1 Ultimate with a paper clip before plug the power and USB.
- Withou pressing any button.
- Pressing and hold the reset button on the bottom of GT1 Ultimate with a paper clip after plug the power and USB.
- I have also tested around 6 versions of USB Burning Tool
- I also have tested all the list above but press the start button on the USB Burning Tool only at the end after everything pluged.

I did get once the GT1 Ultimate, recognized by the windows and USB Burning Tool, but when flashing I did get one error, after unplug and didn't get the windows to recognise the GT1 Ultimate any more.

Any ideas?

Yes, you should wait on hitting Start in the USB Burning Tool until after you've successfully connected the box in recovery mode and get the "Connect success" message.  And to get in recovery mode, you'll definitely need to hold in the reset button with a paper clip as you connect the USB cable.  It should only take a few seconds.

If you're still not connecting, it's possible you've got a bad bootloader and need to reset the NAND.  See above instructions on shorting pins, but the procedure resurrected another Amlogic box for me just this week.

Jhonnie

Yes I have 100% sure that is a bad bootloader.

Can anyone send me message with the picture for GT1 Ultimate with the PINs to short?

I don't find it on the posts above.

It stopped working again, but pc recognizes box. Now when I want to flash firmware with Usb Burning tool, it shows me after 2% of burning this error:
[0x10105002]Romcode/Initialize DDR/Read initialize status/USB Control setup error
I tried 4 different firmwares, and the same happens every time. Can anyone suggest something? I can copy whole error if it can help determine the problem.

That was the exact same  error it gave me when I tried to flash the wrong firmware. Like yours, mine also stopped at 2% and returned me with that error...
Make sure that your firmware is correct! Go to freaktab dot com website and download the correct firmware. Also try to change different versions of the burning tool...
The procedure that worked for me was:
1) Connect the phone
2) Open the burning tool
3) connect the power cord

It didn't work the first 3 times. But in the end it worked. What really "opened" the phone for me was installing the android box tv rom for  AP6255 WiFi chipset. It is called Alfawise S92 TVStock Nexus ROM (Android TV) and it is on Freaktab dot com.
You also have to install the patch for the  AP6255 in order to make wifi work along with that ROM. If you manage to install this rom there is nothing working with your box.

I meant "Wrong" not working...sorry for the mistyped word...

Chomee

Thank you Frank for quick answer! Actually firmware that I am trying to flash is GT1_109M0_AP6255, and was the one which I successfully burnt when I had previous problem. After I burnt it box was working great about a week, and then yesterday just stopped responding. I tried Alfawise S92 Nano Nexus ROM, it also stopped at 2%, now I am downloading Stock variant and we'll see if I'll be more lucky with that one.
