Q10 Pro Bootup fail after flashing firmware.

[k-mad]

So I checked my old laptop and found a file called update.zip from 2016 and tried it with that and I'm up and running!!!

 Somehow it's restored to this version -> ANDROID 7 HMD-2.0.0 2016-11-17.184554

Trying to update it from there now.

I've tried to update from ANDROID 7 HMD-2.0.0 2016-11-17.184554 via rear pin push as well as flashing with the recovery files on usb to the following firmware with no luck at all. the first Android logo comes up and then I get the red exclamation mark again.

HMD-2.0.0 2016-11-17.181855
HMD-2.0.3 2017-04-12.095905

Any suggestions? Seems stuck on that base firmware.

From 2.0.0 I would try 2.0.1 first. No need to short any pins. Just 2.0.1 update.zip on the USB pen.

[k-mad]

Nope, that's not working.

This is Just 2.0.1 update.zip on the USB pen.

Starting to sound like the wrong pins were shorted and something has been damaged !

[k-mad]

I can guarantee I only shorted the correct pins.

This machine has been buggy from day one. I lost use of the internal drive I'd bought in the first 6months but didn't want to be without it waiting for a repair.

Thanks for the help and suggestions.

I'm up an running Kodi 17 on ANDROID 7 HMD-2.0.0 2016-11-17.184554

I can't update past it no matter what I try so I've put it all back together and will stick with this until I buy a replacement.

Have you tried to upgrade via settings - > upgrade?

[k-mad]

Yep, regular upgrade via setting results in 'error' as well.
