Cannot flash anything from maskrom mode (possibly broken emmc)

phkr

Hello,
I have tried to flash custom image to emmc (i used rkdeveloptool because there is not enough info about custom images on firefly wiki) but one of them was wrong and i had to enter maskrom mode using hardware method. After that i have following problem when trying to flash something (in both cases "rkdevelop db" step is already performed):
1) if i use

1. rkdeveloptool gpt parameter.txt

Copy the code

it returns success but then does not show partition table. Partition table is shown if i reset device after this step or write partition table with

1. rkdeveloptool prm parameter.txt

Copy the code

Anyway, if i flash any image after this step partition table is destroyed again
2) if i use upgrade_tool instead i can successfully flash parameter but when i flash any image after that i get the following error:

1. Compare data  failed in checking,exit download image!

Copy the code

Also, i used rs and rl commands to check data blocks defore and after writing image: parameter blocks are overriden. These commands also show some strange behaviour:

1. rl <any start block> 0x1

Copy the code

shows the same output for any start block.

So, could it be that i have broken emmc controller when entered maskrom mode? How could i then make device bootable?

Please try to download the latest firmware, and use the upgrade_tool bundled inside.

With the device in MaskRom mode, try to erase the flash first by:

  upgrade_tool ef  /path/to/firmware.img

Then upgrade the firmware:

  upgrade_tool uf  /path/to/firmware.img

With the dev ...

I have tried it, it hangs at the very beginning

Did it hang at the erasing flash stage, or upgrading firmware stage?

Would you post the full command log?
