When you got that recovery screen you have shown above Ed, what I then did that worked brilliantly for me, was to power the ATV1200 box off, as I new it was now unbricked and would boot of course. I then removed the empty boot SD card and inserted the SD card I had made with the new EmbER convert files and rebooted simply with the reset button pressed for 10 - 15 seconds (no shorting pins now as not needed at this stage of course) and then waited for a minute or two with the blank screen as you always should.for the installation flashing to commence, once again must repeat NEVER power off at this stage but be patient for several minutes if necessary.
The box then booted of course from the SD card and straight into the Linux installing screen with the progress bar showing the installation was going ahead. When that process finished the installation, then the screen went blank as it auto booted in the usual way into EmbER Linux Helix 14.2. Using the EmbER convert flash files of course I then knew the NAND partitions had been repartitioned and reformatted for the brand new OS as indeed the EmbER information states..
BTW as I said those Linux Empty boot card files are not my work Ed, I just made them easily available to you after I found they worked well for me. The real folk to thank are croniccory and Josh5 at XDA and folk like Auxbox and Bobones here for their excellent advice and all their compiled builds we use and enjoy a lot.
