WeTek Play - How to install OpenELEC on NAND Flash

Have I bricked it?
I've followed these instructions, and watched the video. I dont get the update screen on my TV, so i left it for 15 minutes, and now i dont get anything onscreen, not even the default android os.
any ideas?

Have you tried to install android again?

No Splash screen?

Yeah, I've re-installed Android, but every time I try to install to nand, I get this blank screen problem, no update screen and I have to re-install Android.

Have you tried the link i sent you on the other topic for the openelec on NAND?

1: make absolutely sure you've got the correct file.
2: when holding the pin in and plugging in the power continue to do so until R2D2 appears (if nothing happens after 60 secs stop process)
3: and we'll look into it deeper.

No, not yet. I don't get much time to play, wife n kids watching tv etc.

Can the NAND be replaced with a bigger one? Sorry first post here and not very familiar with the h/w stuff.

Hi, this is my next step with the Wetek but I am wondering if there is any way to copy my existing sd card install as it is all up and running with tvheadend, oscam, etc?

Can you use a usb to flash to nand instead of sd?

First after I received my WeTek Play I installed and was running OpenELEC 5.0.1 from MicroSD card and Android was running on NAND Flash. As I like more OpenELEC and Live TV on it, I decided to install OpenELEC 5.0.4 to NAND Flash, so here is how to do it.

What you will need:

1. WeTek Play - of course :D

2. MicroSD card formatted to FAT32.

3. OpenELEC 5.0.X NAND installation package (Actual version is 5.0.5 and You can download it from HERE)

4. Linux/Mac or Windows based PC.

Steps:

1. Format your MicroSD card to FAT32.

2. Extract archive OpenELEC-Amlogic.WeTek.Play.arm-5.0.5.zip , and you will have folder OpenELEC-Amlogic.WeTek.Play.arm-5.0.4, where you will see three files: recovery.img , factory_update_param.aml and OpenELEC-Amlogic.WeTek.Play.arm-5.0.4-update.zip file.

3. Copy 3 files to MicroSD: recovery.img, factory_update_param.aml and OpenELEC-Amlogic.WeTek.Play.arm-5.0.4-update.zip

4. Insert Micro SD in WeTek Play, and power off completely WeTek Play.

5. In Quick Start Guide of WeTek Play, you can find Upgrade toothpick tool, grab it.

6. At bottom side of WeTek Play find UPGRADE hole, and insert there Upgrade toothpick tool, and while keep pressed upgrade button with toothpick tool turn on WeTek Play by inserting power cable in it.

7. Keep pressed Upgrade button for next 7 seconds, and update procedure will start.

8. Wait until update procedure done and voilla you successfully flashed WeTek Play with OpenELEC 5.0.X to NAND Flash.

All future versions you can update by copying NAND .tar file version for update over SAMBA to Update folder and by simple rebooting of WeTek Play.

Hello, I have followed the instructions and now the box won't boot at all. Any ideas, Thank you.
