If its something similar with this instruction (HOW TO BURN IMAGE ATV1200 with RS232.rar from https://www.dropbox.com/home/Linux%20XBMC?select=) that could you please tell me more about serial cable connection.

This is my box - (http://postimg.org/image/8pnykup3d/). I marked with red the connection place for serial cable. Is that correct ? For example, if i have this cable (/www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-TTL-Serial-Adapter-UART-CH340G-Arduino-ATMega-DTR-6-pin-w-cables-/121440571323?pt=UK_Computing_Other_Computing_Networking&hash=item1c466c0fbb) then how many pins i need connect to box and where i need to connect them (box have 6 connection places) ?

The serial is at top right of picture and you only use 3 of the 4 connections leaving the red (power) off

Ok, understand. Now waiting for cable to restore my ATV1200 to working state.

One more question: i'm still tryin various methods with rescue sd. In 4pda forum i found a link to this recovery sd card zip (https://www.dropbox.com/s/hjtnay0pv9r5t1s/var2.zip). This recovery card zip is a little bit different from those i saw before. It contains 9 files (aml_autoscript, ethmac.efuse, factory_update_param.aml, factory_update_param.ubt, spi_MX.bin, u-boot.bin, uImage, uImage_recovery, update_MX_20130506.img).

aml.autoscript info:
'VĖ"NwQÅ. ė To× ć if mmcinfo
then

I upgraded my box from this zip (i think that it didnt finished all upgrade process succesfully) and after that i can boot into Android but i LOST MY MAC ADRESS SETTINGS. Of course, its not "normal boot" because i must have rescue sd card in the box (which contains files from 4.2upgrade from http://mygica.ca/forum/download/file.php?id=71) and also i need to shorten pins. As i understand, when i shorten pins my box try to boot to recovery but it fails and then the Android is loaded.

My question - how can i restore my mac adress to access wifi network? When i flashed my box from this zip it changed my mac adress? Maybe Android can't see my mac adress because spi is broken (boot is only possible with rescue sd and pin shortening)?

So what state is the device in now?
Does it boot at all?
Are there any led lights on or change when powered on?
Press THANK USER if I Help
