Unable to Flash A13 w/o Wifi

[Tanshaydar]

Hi;
I had ordered a NAND Flash for my A13 w/o Nand & Wifi, and I soldered Nand over my board.

I tried to flash the board with Olimex LCD7-TS prebuild image. Livesuit recognizes the device, but when I attempt to continue, there is an error like this.



Any solution?

I think that A13 without wifi comes without flash. I think that the only model that comes with flash is the wifi one.

Hello Tanshaydar

Have you used the same chip ?
Have you you checked all the other components are there ?
Have you tried to boot with SD card ?
In any case please check and double-checks the soldering of the A13 chip.
I had to resolder two sides of the chip in one of my new boards because it was slightly deviated from the pads.
The board normally booted but in most occasions it freezed.

As I already stated in the original post, I soldered a NAND on it.

1) 308A is on the w/ WIFI & NAND; 309A is the one I soldered (NAND Flash I'm talking about) over w/o NAND & WIFI
2) I am looking at original and I think there are some resistors missing?
3) It boots nice with a Linux, but I am unable boot with Android and I need to use Android on my boards.

I'll re-check my soldering. My computer recognizes the device, loads all the drivers, even my LiveSuit insatallation asks me for flashing, but it fails.

I suppose it has to be something you did wrong or did not think of.  Soldering, or something.  Good luck finding it!

did you install the Nand Driver
in /dev you should see many Nand entries

NAND drivers?
I use a prebuilt Android image and LiveSuit. I can't see where I should have it.
