Hello All,

I have a K3 that is stuck in a reboot loop (boy under tree appears, the progress bar moves about 25% and then it reboots). Before posting here is what I tried:

1. Live CD (Kubrick). It goes through all the steps without errors but does not solve the problem. So I tried it again. No luck.

2. I downloaded the ATK and tried to program the MMC/SD. Kernel is downloaded fine, but the rootfs image does not finish. I get the "Flash Program failed: connection error!" message.

3. Back to my linux machine, I tried the k3flasher

Code:


	Code:
	k3flasher$ sudo ./k3flasher mx35to2_mmc.bin program 0x00041000 kernel.bin 
k3flasher$ sudo ./k3flasher mx35to2_mmc.bin program 0x003c1000 rootfs.bin

Both commands complete without erros, but I still have no luck. Still stuck in the reboot loop.
My md5sum are:

Code:

k3flasher$ md5sum kernel.bin 
ec5a0a88f358636e958b10b70c8872f9  kernel.bin
k3flasher$ md5sum rootfs.bin 
3a4755179cb484ed0c0831e3ba2eb3af  rootfs.bin

Can anyone please help?

Many thanks,
KB
