Could this be so simple: It's 115200, not 15200.

Please update us all on how you flashed the whole chip, if successful - that could be helpful in the future.

A lot of people are asking which USB to serial converter. Probably most of them would work, but I recommend buying one that has 3.3volts. It doesn't matter if it's 5 or 6 pins, you only need RX, TX and GND (or RxD, TxD and GND). I used one like this. I've noticed that it's quite possible to...

Ok, so this is the opened controller. You have to remove the wifi-module. It has some adhesive tabs under it, so do it carefully in order not to ruin one of the boards. It's better to disconnect the three cables from the back of the remote, though you need to connect the battery when doing the...

Ok, I'll take some photos, though I've disconnected it now. I found out there were actually two firmware and two root partitions in u-boot by listing them. Also you can see that when it boots. So I just decided to try what happens if I try to boot from that other partition. Sent from my...

Just a warning: Do _not_ change the rcS file when booting from the backup file system. It has to be the rcS-file mounted from mtd3 or else you could lose the backup file system as well. If you recreate the rcS (i.e. delete it) you have to change permissions of the file in order to get it to...

Thanks, after repairing it I just did a reboot and it worked!! This is just amazing. But I'll have to say we all did it. I wouldn't have found this method without the information from you all guys!

Finally gained access to root shell. Next step would be to mount mtd3 (the original root filesystem) to somewhere. I chose /tmp/flash: mkdir /tmp/flash And then mount it: mount -t jffs2 mtd3 /tmp/flash Then you can go to /tmp/flash/etc/init.d and repair the rcS. Mine had a lot of ^M in it...

Ok, so I got it to boot!!! And it created a WLAN. I've got to do some more testing, but this is very promising. There seems to be a backup root system. What I did was this: MI124 DRAM: 32 MB Flash: 8 MB In: serial Out: serial Err: serial Press ESC to abort autoboot in 1 seconds...

Hi, so I got into the serial console, can esc into u-boot or see the same error as you: init started: BusyBox v1.22.1 (2015-11-16 16:28:58 CST) starting pid 219, tty '': '/etc/init.d/rcS' can't run '/etc/init.d/rcS': No such file or directory can't open /dev/ttyS0: No such file or directory...
