@tshering:

Thanks a lot for you reply. You've save my day. It was short before returning the defective device to the seller. :-) I've successfully done a factory reset of the H2O with your autoscript.sh (the led blinking) from the external SD card slot. It works awesome. It was some kind of frustrating, yesterday to see the device in this "boot loop" and I don't have searched all the forum posts. With an autoscript.sh it should also be possible to start an other OS or applications?

I'm not sure, if the tapping method would work with the kernel of the Aura. I guess, that this was the problem with reset button, the FW image for the Aura and the Aura H2O aren't identically (but both are Mark5 device), so I can't reset it the regular ways. There is no light button at the H2O. I've had the "update" above working, but there was a strange battery drain, so I tried the factory reset several times and was to fast with the switch of the boot menu. Now, everything is fine.

Is there a description to apply all "needed" or interesting patches to the firmware of the H2O.

So again, thanks a lot for your fast help.

Best regards
