Apparently the update went wrong and you deleted the bootloader. If you have a UART to USB converter then we can try to revive your box and install LE.

Hello.

I have exactly the same problem. I have a UART to USB converter. When connected to a computer, the device is immediately detected. Without pressing the reset button.

You have a boot loop because the bootloader has been deleted. Please take photos from RAM so we can install the right bootloader.

In the original firmware it was indicated 2/16 GB. CPU-Z found 1/16GB

for testing

SDcard installation (Linux)

dd if=u-boot.bin.sd.bin of=/dev/sdX bs=1 count=444
dd if=u-boot.bin.sd.bin of=/dev/sdX bs=512 skip=1 seek=1
sync

or bootloader.img, installation e.g. via Win32 Disk Imager (Windows)

Download

Did you unpack the * .tar.gz archive before burning it? the bootloader is still not installed.

I extracted 2 files from the * .tar.gz archive. Launched Win32 Disk Imager. Opened the bootloader.img file. I pressed the button to write. After that, the SD on the computer is not readable, but you can see 2 partitions.

This is correct, because these two partitions are not yet formatted. The bootloader was written from offset 0 into the SD card. This area is not visible in user space. Is the device recognized in the AML Burning Tool?

Yes.

AML Burning Tool detects the device immediately upon connection. Press the reset button is not required.

The original firmware could not be found. I tried to write the firmware from similar boxes. AML BT reports an error:

[0x10103005]Romcode/Initialize DDR/Download buffer/Read item data failed
