Neither one. Switch it off (long-power-click) - press and hold refresh button and connect via usb
without switching it on. Keep holding the refresh button some seconds after connecting via usb. It should be recognized by ROM_Dumper_Tool ("Found one loader device"). Rom and I guess loader tool too should be found
at the energy website.
Feel free to ask more but everything is explained in the
RK3026 E-Readers Kitchen thread.
I had this bootloop too ones or twice but flashing the system partition did the trick for me. As long as the boot partition is not destroyed, my devices has shown quite a resistance against bricking. Be careful though I don't know the content of the mentioned firmware file. Recovery options are depending on it (I guess it is a full image v. 1.0 with rkbatchtool included. If so, the steps are a little different but an instruction should be in the archive).
