UNBRICK RADXA
Is it bricked? When writing update.img to nand RKBatchTool failes with following message: "Prepare IDB Fail" (or similar error messages like "IDB download failed" when writing to nand with other tools) Radxa is bricked. To recover it:
- Turn off Power.
- Connect pin 8 and 9 on the nand INSERT_PIC_LINK_HERE with a needle and plug OTG USB cable in the PC.
- After Plugin remove needle connection. In RKBatchTool the square should now show up blue (if it isn't blue, retry).
- Click the restore button and upload an update.img
Hints
Its useful to use a magnifying glass or (smartphone-)camera zoom to get the right pins. Always start counting pins on the edge of the chip where the small circle is molded in or printed on.
