I going to throw a coin in and see what happens here !! Please forgive my complete non-dev, non-mod inexperience!! :blink: :blink:
I read somewhere about the Pandora being potentially ‘un-brickable’.
I think my JXD301 is also un-brickable – With the ‘301, if you do a ‘bad’ firmware upload, a certain combination of keys (I can’t remember which right now) seem to bring it back into an emergency mode, allowing you to re-flash again. In other words, I think this emergency mode coding is in a bit of ROM rather than NAND / Flash RAM, and is therefore must less corruptible.
I’m not talking about have the whole ‘emergency’ f/w available in a ROM area, as I realise that that’s cost prohibitive. But by having a little piece of coding in ROM, which could be accessed even after a main flash f/w screw-up, might allow you to at least re-flash and un-brick your unit.
Just a thought, but perhaps that type of approach could be used, if not already considered in the Pandora…
