cafonabob1 · 11-20-2018, 18:18

Hi, is there a solution for this? US998 convert firmware is working good on LS99821A or lower but 22A I tried 2 pieces and bricks it completely (not detected by device manager)

P/M me. If you want to test solution I am not afraid to brick device.

Not 9008. Completely dead. Not detect in device manager. I can fix 9008 with medusa box.

Hey octopus team, please put a warning that these files will brick any device on 22A or more. I am in the USA so I can send back for warranty but other users don't have this option. Thank you.

Which firmware You have written exactly?

cafonabob1 · 11-21-2018, 18:02

LS998V20a_to_US998V10d_for_unlock.oct

Octopus box · 11-21-2018, 18:36

So, firmware is for "LS998V20a_to_...", not "LS998V22a_to_...", downgrade firmware will lead to damage the device.

What do You mean under "Downgrade from 26a even 20a"? Accordingly to your Software log, where should't be problems with writing the special firmware to unlock the device. But, of course, exist small risk to damage the device, so do this at your own risk only.
