So... I bricked my hero today when i tried to update the firmware. when I pressed Vol down and power simultaneously, it didn't go to recovery mod instead it showed an android logo then when I lift my fingers the screen went black. Now, it won't turn on. I tried to do the hard reset with a pin but no luck whatsoever.
The problem wasn't on the battery, I've charged it for 8 hours before.
This is so frustrating, It won't turn on, basically it does nothing now, so yeah SD card method didn't work as well

anyone have any idea how to unbrick my Hero? through PC perhaps?

My PC(win7 64) does recognized the tablet as Worldcup device, and I've been trying to tweak it with AMLogicBurningtool (by using fire AMLF, obviously failed), still with no success, maybe because I don't understand how to create/design the AMLF zip.
Is there anyone that know and would be kind enough to convert any of the hero's firmware to AMLF?

Thank you!

Same here. Did you solve your problem?

[Kajigger]

Did you ever fix your problem? I'm on the same boat. Mine won't turn on at all and my Computer won't recognize it.

I need some help please, i have followed the instructions until i need to manually install the usb driver for the tablet once it is booted into TWRP. I have tried both xp and windows 8 but it wont install the usb driver? in device manager it is detected as "Nexus".

6. After starting the recovery you will see the new device in device manager.
- YOU MUST MANUALLY INSTALL THE DRIVER "Samsung Android Interface" for this device from the
folder C:\Android\drivers\ADB
- After the driver installing, you will see in device manager the new device Samsung Android Interface, and also you
can see the two new removable drives. Do not format these drives.
In some cases the driver name can be Samsung Google Nexus ADB.

It seems as though the device being detected as a Nexus is not unexpected. Please describe exactly what you are trying to do at this point, what you expect to happen, and what actually happens..

[robin sander]

It turned out that I had to manually choose the device from the list of devices when trying to update, and i only tried to automatically let windows choose the driver from the adb folder before. The all sorted :-P

[burakk]

I did all the steps successfully, but after rebooting, i just see a black screen with a light at the background.
How can i solve this problem?

So, after following CT's advice to install the 1115 firmware again (not a criticism btw!), I appear to be at a bit of a brick stage.

Currently, it does nothing when I press power or power+vol - apart from maybe the backlight coming on. Pin in the mic hole resets it. Attach to PC and the device is recognised.

I have tried to use the AMLogic tool but it gets stuck at 19% every time with this log:

So, I'm not sure what else to try. Does anyone have any suggestions?

on my fire i had to unplug, select "reset port" from file menu, replug and restart several times when it failed at uboot load stage

[fuser-invent]

As CT said, that is a common problem. There can also be issues at that stage if you aren't running an English version of Windows or if you haven't set your USB ports properly in the device manager. The program isn't very user friendly but it does work.

The USB devices all have power management turned off; English OS and I am following the instructions in the guide e.g.:

Run ImageBurnTool > Config > Import Upgrade File > Hero1115.zip (from C:\Android\firmware\1115) then wait then Import Config File (from C:\Android\AMLflash\resource\config_progress.xml) > Start

So when it gets to 19% and craps out I disconnect the USB, choose 'Reset port', reconnect USB and reboot Hero and just keep trying this over and over?

Edit: I've just tried 9 times in succession using this method with the same result every time
