03:46 <maksimlin> hipboi: having some problems with flashing own 4.4 build onto a rock pro board - would you be able to help?

03:48 <maksimlin> I'm using upgrade_tool on linux and while I managed to flash my initial build, after that I haven't been able to, pretty sure the bootloader got corrupted but I followed the 'unbrick' page in wiki, got into maskrom mode, thought I uploaded new loader but still get same errors stopping me using my own update img :-(

03:53 <hipboi> maksimlin, what is the error

03:55 <maksimlin> hipboi: its "Prepare IDB Fail"

03:56 <maksimlin> but thats after I *think* I uploaded a new loader bin using the pin 8-9 short, into maskrom mode and then sudo ./upgrade_tool ul rk3188v208.bin

03:57 <maksimlin> but its actually telling me its got: 2.10... http://pastebin.com/pAS2bkFG

03:58 <hipboi> maksimlin, prepare IDB failed, every time?

03:58 <maksimlin> no its not consistent

03:59 <maksimlin> so I unplugged and re-lugged usb otg cable again and now its acutually trying to flash again (counting out the bytes)

03:59 <hipboi> sometimes, try with another otg cable can help

03:59 <hipboi> maksimlin, ok, seems working now

04:00 <maksimlin> no :-) it failed with.. "Download Firmware Fail"

04:00 <maksimlin> I mean no :-(

04:00 <maksimlin> ok thx for the tip, I'll try some diff cables jsut to be sure

04:06 <maksimlin> hipboi: trying a diff cable (same usb port on laptop) now it just hangs on "Download IDB Start" and I'm pretty sure this usb port if 2.0 but I dont have a usb2 hub at the moment to be completely sure

04:07 <maksimlin> and now its seems to have timed out and shows "Download IDB Fail" - I think thats the 2min timeout as output from the uart says "power off"

04:15 <maksimlin> ok now trying third cable just to be sure

04:16 <hipboi> maksimlin, :(

04:17 <maksimlin> hipboi: wow can't believe, using the third cable worked! going to re-try a couple more times to be sure its not jsut a co-incidence

04:18 <hipboi> maksimlin, :)

04:19 <maksimlin> hipboi: yes :-) but I just dont understand, the first cable I was using is fairly short, well insulated good quality, but I guess I need to go buy some new cables...

04:19 <hipboi> maksimlin, in our test, the flashing picks certain cable...

04:19 <hipboi> lunch time, bbl

04:20 <maksimlin> hipboi: yes thanks again for the tip!!
