Likebook Mars Not Starting
Hello ,I have just bought the Likebook Mars, and it doesn't start. Tried charging it via the USB cable on the computer/ Wall adapter. No effect.
Is there a charging indication when charging the Device? Subsequent tried to enter the recovery mode, it does not do so. The device screen does not flash. Is my device broken? Any assistance in the above matter is really appriciated. Further, I have paid imported it into My country and do not know if it will be practical to send it back. Thank you very much. Good day. |

There is no charge LED. Only the GUI indication on the homescreen. It does do nothing without a sufficiently long holding of power button. Then a few seconds after release it starts to boot.
Some cables or PSUs or Computer ports may not work. I've had two dodgy cables, one worked on a Kobo and the other worked on a Kindle, but not vice versa! I've one PSU that's mysteriously detected as a computer host. I have the Mars. |

This looks like a more updated thread, so I'm reposting here, hopefully to get some help.
My Mars was stuck at starting up and no amount of wait could get it past that stage. I searched this forum and originally followed the instructions from https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=339156 to troubleshoot further. However, I'm still getting errors: 03:19:58 Test Device Start 03:19:58 Test Device Success 03:20:03 Error:RKU_Read_EX failed,err=-7 03:20:03 ERROR:ReadCapability-->RKU_ReadCapability failed,err(-4) 03:20:03 Check Chip Start 03:20:08 Error:RKU_Write failed,err=-7 03:20:08 ERROR:CheckChip-->RKU_ReadChipInfo failed,RetCode(-3) 03:20:08 Check Chip Fail 03:20:08 Command mode out I'm using update tool v1.65 which is 64 bit: # file upgrade_tool upgrade_tool: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, BuildID[sha1]=c045033bffa8866dc148b16718d8a49be47e9ecb, with debug_info, not stripped and with the same update image: T80D/t80d-456.img Hope someone can help. Thanks! |

Thanks @ioancr, the referenced post works for flashing the firmware.
When updating to 8.1, fireware flashing succeeds. Upon reboot, it goes to a black screen with the word "erasing" in a white circle. After a while, the entire screen goes black. No amount of waiting helps. Did you encounter that? Last edited by lifeform; 09-04-2021 at 03:53 PM. |

Hi folks,
I've had this issue for around 2 years now, during which I tried to follow the instructions provided by the PDF in a virtual machine. However, this ended up in my Likebook Mars getting bricked around half a year ago, with the following error message displayed on what I think is Recovery Mode: Code:
E:failed to mount /mnt/external_sd (No such device) Supported API: 3 Rebooting to bootloader... It's fair to say I've run out of ideas, but I wouldn't want to just discard this device, as I merely used it for a week before this issue appeared. So, any help would be more than welcome. |
