So I was impatient and did this

1. Copy img file and other 2 aml_* files and powertool.apk in SD card,
Then instead of booting and installing the APK I just foolishly pressed the reset button and connect power, and boom it no longer boots. The only light in the spdif port is on (red)

What can I do now?

(Blue pcb, 2+16gb, bought at least a year ago)

I successfully flushed atvX 4.3 :relieved: (using a hacked ( >:) >:) ) cable (didn't have an a-a nearby so I made one out of damaged card readers.

Edit:

WiFi doesn't work :(

But the status display in front not working. What to do?

I don't know right now. But it's certainly not one of the chips that's supposed to work by default.

Can you provide instructions for all chips (except those in the *tested* list) and I'll try them on by one.
