The ATV 1800 I'm being charged the same price..... as they were OOS on the 1200.

*update

The other one did come back to life... but refused to finish the android install, it was on a loop. I pulled the SD card and it went to recovery screen, and from there did factory reset / wipe cache. Then tried to load Linux frodo, again it started but would just loop on the install. Restarting itself and trying again.

I will persevere a little longer with it. To be honest I'm just happy I got one of them working.

*further update

Both working now! Thanks guys..... you're a very kind and helpful lot!


Please can you let me know how did you able to fix your atv1200? I am also have same issues like you.

Well I can tell you where I went wrong. I believe I had the wrong files on my SD card to revert back to android. I noticed this as I was comparing the SD card contents with the revert to 4.1 files and noticed they were different. Once I had the right files on the sd card I dont think I actually needed to short the pins. just insert card and reset the usual way and be patient..... it can take a while for the whole process of reverting to kick start. I hope that is of some help Smile

It took a couple of tries to get some of the boxes back to life, but once I had the right files on the sd card I just kept trying and got there in the end with all my 1200 boxes.
