How to solve the problem of OCTAGON SF8008 stuck on BOOT by yourself ? from ​Electro Yassine

Looking at the logs, it appears that I was using files from a Dinobot 4K Repair-Boot folder. This confirms a hardware/firmware mismatch. Even though these receivers look identical, the Novaler 4K Pro has a different secure boot configuration (Key Area) compared to the standard Dinobot 4K or the basic Novaler 4K models. HiTool blocks the flash because the signature in the fastboot.bin does not match the processor's secure zone.

Steps for Resolution:

1. Correct Partition XML: I need the specific eMMC Partition File (.xml) and fastboot.bin specifically designed for the Novaler 4K Pro. Using files from Dinobot or the standard 4K model will continue to trigger the "Key Area" verification error.

2. Isolate the Fastboot Flash: Instead of flashing the entire partition table, I will attempt to flash only the fastboot partition.

• Load the correct XML for the Pro model.
• Select only the fastboot checkbox.
• If the fastboot flash succeeds, the receiver should be able to reach a state where it can be updated via a standard USB recovery image

3. Transfer Mode Adjustment: Currently, I am using Network transfer mode. If the issue persists, I will switch to Serial (RS232) mode for the fastboot partition. While significantly slower, it is often more reliable for bypassing verification loops during initial bootloader recovery.

Request for Community Help:

"Does anyone have the Original Factory HiTool Dump or the Partition XML + Fastboot files specifically for the Novaler 4K Pro? I need to avoid the generic Dinobot/Novaler 4K files as they are causing signature mismatches. Any help or links to the official Algerian support files would be greatly appreciated."

I actually used the original file for novaler pro of image egami

From the link below

And it didn't work

"You are using Dinobot 4K repair files on a Novaler 4K Pro. That's why you get Verify Key Area failed. The hardware keys don't match!

1. You need the specific fastboot.bin and xml partitions file for Novaler 4K Pro.
2. Change HiBurn Transfer Mode from Network to Serial.
3. If you can't find the Pro boot files, try the recovery_emmc.zip method from the EGAMI link I gave you earlier - it's much safer than HiBurn."
