Thanks looking forward to the Zidoo X1 IMG Mine is soft bricked, Red light and ZIDOO image on screen permanently
I used phoenix suite 1.10 after i upgraded from 1.08. It's ok, and it's recognize any device with allwinner.
I upgraded using IMG file 1.16. When i power on device, red light then blue. And no image? Tried to flash two times. What is your suggestion? Flash with older firmware ? Or how many minutes need to wait Any reset procedure ?
Hi: When you flash the device complete: 1: power on the device,the red light then blue; 2:the bootlogo display; 3:then the boot animation display.This step will a few minitue,because it will install all the apks in first boot time. 4:enter the launcher,then it will install the preinstall apk,eg kodi. 5:you can use it.
Need some help, want to flash back from 0.22 to 0.19 firmware, and got an error in flash process. Didn't select Format YES and after was dead... Can it bea repaired ? or had to find another box....thankyou
THANK YOU!!! I was able to bring my brother-in-law's zidoo x1 back to life it stayed in the logo for hours and never entered the system but following these steps of the tutorial I managed to make it work again (google translator)
