Unable to install to eMMC

[GaryC]

Just getting around to trying to setup my Helios 64 and I am unable to get it to appear under either Windows or OSX.

 

I have removed the back panel and ensured the USB cable and micro SD are fully seated.

 

Nothing appears so I can't flash the image to the internal eMMC.

 

I tried MaskRom mode but RKDevTools fails.

 

It does the following steps:

 

Download Boot Start

Download Boot Success

Wait for Maskrom Start

Wait for Maskrom Success

Test Device Start

Test Device Fail

 

Not sure where to go now as I can't get anything to work on it.

 

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you follow the instruction and binaries from the wiki ?

I recall got the "Test Device Fail" message when i used old version of DriverAssistant and AndroidTool.

Yes downloaded all of the latest versions.  Managed to get it flashed eventually after trying numerous times, but when connected using the Serial->USB there as a console message about CRC error.   It still boots but wondered if that indicates there is an issue with the eMMC?

[aprayoga]

could you attached the log? full console message since power on

Sorry for the delay in replying, been caught up with work.

 

This is the line from the boot log:

 

MMC:  mmc@fe320000: 1, sdhci@fe330000: 0

Loading Environment from MMC... *** Warning - bad CRC, using default environment

Did you at least google this error warning?

I also got this warning. After a few seconds of panic I realized it was because the environment section of the MMC was empty. It would be nice to add a note about this to the installation section of the wiki.
