Never sync or update the firmware without at least 1/2 charged.

Try performing a manual factory reset when the device doesn't boot to the "dancing squares".
Edit: after I reread your post I see you already tried this method, so the only thing left is to write a image on the SD card, ask a image from davidfor from here. Last edited by oren64; 05-28-2017 at 05:10 AM. |

I have downloaded a img file from davidfor and flashed a 32gb microSD card and replaced the onboard one, the pressed the power button and it came back to life, so a big thank you to Davidfor.

Glad you solved your problem! Do you have any advice on opening the device? I've tried more than once, I wanted to upgrade the internal SD... Used a pointed thing to get in between the bezel and the device, I seem to have gotten through all of the glue but I can't manage to get the bezel off, for some reason.

I used the plastic tool out of a mobile phone repair kit and slowly levered the top off whilst moving it around to break the glue.

The device won't update if there isn't at least 20% power even if you side load it. Which should be more than enough to see the device through the update process
