it's possible unbrick the atv2000?

The guys over at KGDTeam • Ver Tema - Recovery por RS232 los Mygica ATV300 - ATV1000 - ATV2000
have devloped a technique to unbrick a thw atv 300, 1000 and 2000.

Basically it is reprograming or reviving uboot and some other stuff via the unit's ttl interface.

I am in the process of trying to unbrick an ATV 1000 clone

Now the problem is that it requires a RS232 to ttl converter to get the info from a PC to the TV Box. I got one from China. The next problem is the connectors for the ttl interface on the TV Box. They are too small for the ones supplied with the RS 232 to TTL converter. It can accommodate three of the four connectors (Rx, Tx and VCC) and I have found a common earth point for the fourth.

The next problem is a PC with an RS232 output. They are not common on newer PCs. I have two old laptops with RS232 outputs but one would not boot and the other only has a 3.5" floppy and no USB port. I do not have a way of transferring the program to it as no other computer I have operational has a a 3.5" floppy drive.

As a result I am currently building up a new very basic PC from bits and pieces I have laying around.

Then I think I have to install and learn a bit of Linux to be able to use it.

And finally the instructions are in Spanish and require some deep thought when interpreting the English translation.

I would love to trade experiences with anyone else trying to unbrick their units.

no one faced with my problem with the remote control? is keep presing the B word
Hi everst, time ago I had a similar problem with my remote (it was pratically blocked
and there was not blinking light when I pressed buttons).
I resolved casually removing batteries from remote and inserting them after 3-4 days
(probably prolonged power failure caused a complete reset of the unit).
Try in this way...and good luck!!:):):)

NOT DOWNLOAD VERSION 20111212.

Among other things it has horrible ... Inextable WiFi, google has problems with registration, no Bluetooth, no camera function ... etc.

It's a big crap in beta, I recommend the 20111130 so far is the best of all that exist Geniatech.

It worked fine for me. But I have not tried the 11/30 firmware. Does it have Flash working well?

I was able to register for Android market and download apps. I never used Bluetooth, which dongle do you have? I never used the camera, which camera are you using?

12/12 was the first firmware I tried where Flash is smooth as butter, even at 720p. Thanks.

hi friends.
I have a problem and I need your help.
I was trying to improve my AVT1000, and I tried to do a firmware update ... AVT1000 try received the new firmware, and moved green bar at the bottom of the TV screen. but in the middle of the road stood a green bar. I waited about 20 minutes - but the green bar stop. it froze completely. I disconnected the unit from the power supply and again on power supply .. and oh my god :eek: my AVT1000 died ((Now I know are always just a white screen. and this is no longer wanted to work in any mode. perhaps you have a tip for me - I can restore the device to a help computer or even any way?

I apologize for my bad English:)
I'm still in pain. perhaps you have an idea how to recover with help computer?

I can translate it for you, if you want. I'm a native spanish speaker who understands Linux and technical docs :-D
