temporary_name Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago Hello there! I have a generic S805 TV box which, I assume, has a dead NAND memory chip. It doesn't boot and only outputs the following message over UART: QA5:B;SVN:B72;POC:3FF;STS:0;BOOT:0;INIT:0;READ:82;BOOT:1;INIT:10;USB:3;SERIAL:4;STS:0;BOOT:0;INIT:0;READ:82;BOOT:1;INIT:10;USB:3; I found firmware for a similar TV box online and extracted the bootloader.bin file from it. I then wrote it to the beginning of an SD card using dd like this: sudo dd if=bootloader.bin of=/dev/sdX Where sdX is my SD card. Now, at least, the box is trying to boot from the SD card and I can get into U-Boot. Here are the logs I see now: Spoiler QA5:B;SVN:B72;POC:3FF;STS:0;BOOT:0;INIT:0;READ:82;BOOT:1;INIT:0;READ:0;CHECK:0;PASS:1; no sdio debug board detected TE : 197117 BT : 10:16:17 Mar 25 2015 PMU:NONE ##### VDDEE voltage = 0x044c CPU clock is 792MHz DDR mode: 32 bit mode DDR size: 1GB (auto) DDR check: Pass!

I can’t write the system image to the SD card because the bootloader has to be placed at the beginning of the card, and it’s quite large — it overwrites the partition table of the SD card. I tried writing the system image to a USB flash drive instead, but as you can see from the logs, U-Boot can’t initialize USB. (Re)start USB(0)...
