Miyoo Flip V2 stuck in Maskrom — "Get Flash Info Fail" after one successful SPI NAND flash
Device: Miyoo Flip V2 (RK3566, 128MB SPI NAND, no eMMC), previously running KNULLI Tools: RKDevTool + drivers from the spruceOS MiyooFlipUnbricker.zip package, Windows PC
Summary
Bricked the device via a failed unbrick attempt on Linux (rkdeveloptool likely targeting the wrong storage medium). Moved to Windows and successfully recovered it once — then bricked it again during a KNULLI reinstall, and now can't get RKDevTool to talk to the flash chip at all.
Timeline
- Original brick: Device got stuck in Maskrom mode after a failed unbrick attempt on Linux using
rkdeveloptool. Suspected the tool was targeting eMMC instead of SPI NAND (this device has no eMMC — confirmed 128MB SPI NAND + dual microSD). - First successful recovery (Windows):
- Installed drivers via
DriverInstall.exefromMiyooFlipUnbricker.zip - RKDevTool detected "Found One Maskrom Device"
- Set storage medium to SPI NAND in Advanced Function
- Flashed stock firmware — no confirmation dialog appeared, but log showed completion and device booted to stock OS successfully
- Installed drivers via
- Second brick: While reinstalling KNULLI, interrupted the GammaLoader bootloader install mid-process (didn't know it needed to run uninterrupted through multiple reboots). Device got stuck on a modified Miyoo OS boot logo.
- Recovery attempt #2 — failing:
- Re-entered Maskrom successfully (device detected fine)
- Attempted stock reflash → "Download Boot Fail"
- Tried Erase All → "Get Flash Info Fail"
- Since then, every flash attempt either fails outright or completes suspiciously fast (seconds, not minutes) with no real write happening
Troubleshooting already tried (no change)
- Reconfirmed storage medium set to SPI NAND (not eMMC)
- Swapped USB cables (multiple)
- Swapped USB ports, including direct rear motherboard ports (no hubs)
- Fully closed/reopened RKDevTool between attempts
- Cold-replugged into fresh Maskrom state multiple times
- Reinstalled RockUSB drivers from the unbricker package
- Rebooted the PC
Current state
- Device reliably enters and stays in Maskrom mode (BootROM responds)
- RKDevTool detects the device as present
- RKDevTool cannot successfully query flash info or complete a boot/erase operation
- Same exact hardware + software combo produced one clean successful flash earlier in this process — nothing hardware-side should have changed between then and now
Questions
- Is "Get Flash Info Fail" after a previously successful flash cycle a known issue with this device's SPI NAND chip specifically?
- Could a different RKDevTool version (vs. the one bundled in
MiyooFlipUnbricker.zip) resolve a flash-info query failure like this? - Any chance the interrupted GammaLoader write left the SPI NAND in a state that needs a different recovery approach than a standard stock reflash?
Happy to provide RKDevTool logs, exact error screenshots, or anything else that'd help diagnose this.
