Help T8 K200 changed to EM8 Nexus 10? need to put back to proper firmware

[franky]

i did a firmware update to megatron firmware using the tooth pick method i must have downloaded the wrong firmware i guess now my t8 k200 has lost the clock and the unit reads nexus 10 em8 i have tried to flash it back to the right model etc. but when i insert the tooth pick and turn the unit on it only gos to the megatron logo and stays there note the unit work like this but i have lost a lot of functions someone please tell me they know how to bring my unit back....

update: I was able to unbrick my unit by first doing an update to a stock nexus em8 firmware and then doing a firmware update to a droidstick t8 k200 firmware so everything is back to normal and id like to add i didn't install the wrong megatron firmware it was a problem with the firmware itself so beware of this firmware and thank god for small miracles

In terms of the model the device reports back when queried, this was probably just a line in build.prop to convince the Play Store to allow more apps, see http://apcmag.com/how-to-fake-an-android-device.htm/ for some background. If you find a firmware in the future that you otherwise like, altering the file to a different model should be easy.

@franky Click his name, then the Start a Conversation link. You should be able to post links there. If that is also stopped, take the address and change http to h**p
So this is a live link: http://DroidBOXForums.com
Whereas h**p://DroidBOXForums.com can be sent/posted by anyone.

Hi Franky.
I made the same mistake I cannot get rid of Meagtron....only the picture happens when trying to flash.
I Cannot find old version firmware for the T8.
Do you have the firmware and please tell me how you installed as I cannot get the robot man to come up ...just the Meagatron symbol

PS...my internet will not connect....Much help needed my friend!

Cheers

peter-walkerYesterday at 3:55 AMdo you have the old version? I have same problem

@peter-walker , you sent your msg as a report on the forum thread itself, so I've cancelled the spam report and pasted it in here

Go Droidsticks website and download their T8 firmware. Flash to the box. That will sort it out. Your warranty will already be lost if you flashed megatron firmware on it. Megatron T8 firmware is a ported M8 version and does not work properly on the T8.

Thanks stana do you know if I'll get my clock back after I've flashed my T8

Yes. I have it loaded on my T8.

Hi stana I downloaded the droidsticks firmware and tried to flash my t8 but when it reboots it only gets as far as the mega-tron logo and then the T8 stops/locks up. I've tried the hard reset (using a toothpick to hold the reset button in) but still no joy. Do you think I've done something wrong
? Thanks Terry

Might be worth asking the firmware author here - http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player...82-megatron-rom-for-eny-em8-and-k200-t8-boxes

Did you go into the recovery menu and factory reset before trying to flash the new firmware. Can you get to the recovery menu.

Hi went to settings > backup & reset > turned off Backup my data and Automatic restore > reset phone > erase everything. My T8 reboots and then stops/hangs at the megatron logo screen. It's driving me nuts (
