Hope this isn't double posting as I've mentioned this in the Kubrick thread but this is more relevant to ATK!
Bricked KK. Tried Kubrick boot CD - all parameters correct. ManyXs - get the 'much too quick partition flash' error and KK still dead.
New battery - charged.
Tried ATK - all correct drivers installed when I re-installed ATK with KK connected (ie both Windriver AND MX35 under 'Jungo' in Device Manager - prev only Windriver installed). ATK then recognised KK but when attempting flashing kernel get the 'Failed to initial' message with both 3.4 and 3.02vs of kernel.bin - many X's. Followed instructions in Noobs guide to debrick wiki to the letter.
Q is I'm not clued up at all with Linux and installing progs/command lines in it etc - is there any point in trying K3Flasher via Linux boot iso (how to install libusbx?) as it's based on ATK and that is stuck in this error?
Seems terminal to me. If so thanks guys for your efforts in any case.
