Hello. I recently bought Orange Pi Plus 2. After reading a few toturials and watching a few videos on YouTube, I downloaded the official Android from the manufacturer's website and the unofficial Android KitKat 4.4.2 (new1_e_w_work.img). Using the PhoenixCard app, I recorded an official Android image to the SD card. I was able to start the device and test it for a while. Curious about the operation of the unofficial software (KitKat), I recorded it according to the instructions again using PhoenixCard and, according to some YouTube video, I started it on my OPI Plus 2. I noticed that the system starts to install in the internal memory, unlike the official firmware. I used KitKat for almost a month. Once, for unknown reasons, it was reset to factory settings.
Unfortunately, last weekend, while watching some material on YT, OPI shut down. The fan was spinning, but the LED was not glowing red. After several attempts to connect and disconnect the power, I found that the device has probably reset and the system should be re-loaded. Unfortunately, after re-uploading the image to SD, Android turns on and works only from the SD card. In addition, it has completely lost its smooth operation and stability. The simple task of opening SETTINGS or Google Play takes a lot of time and is often impossible to complete.
When creating a system image to an SD Card via PhoenixCard, there are two options (basically three) to choose from. The first "PRODUCT MODE" and the second "STARTUP MODE". As I guess, depending on the choice, PRODUCT MODE is a system that installs on the internal EMMC memory. In my case, after creating such an image with KitKat, the D8 diode lights red for a moment and then starts blinking and the image shows a green installation progress bar in a red dust jacket on a black background. This is where the whole process ends. Just like it would hang. The futile waiting of 30 minutes did not change anything.
In the case of STARTUP MODE the D8 diode lights for a moment in red and the H3 logo appears. Then D7 turns green and finally the LEDs change again and D8 lights up red again. The system boots up and runs from the SD card.
Can anyone tell me what I can do to reinstall Android on the internal EMMC memory? Or maybe my Orange PI Plus 2 has been damaged after a month and it is no longer possible to use it fully functionally?
