its great, but anbernic is reliying way too hard on the community to fix their systems. and every single system has these flaws since the rg350. its just pathetic as a company to need private people to fix their shit. dont get me wrong, i love the hardware, but even the new rg nano already has software flaws, which most likely wont be fixed until there is cfw but noo rather bring garlicos as second option to the rg35xx instead of fixing bugs

[SOLVED] I moved forward restarting the fastbooter. Then I realized I was trying to install RG405m gamma OS, instead of the RG505. Using the right install solved all my issues. Greetings. I went through the process and my Anbernic Bricked. Then I ran the unbricker and I restored to original OS, and I tried running the process but now it is unsuccessful. Do you guys know if there are any forums where I could get support? The "Spreadtrum / Unisoc Bootloader Unlock Tool" connect but freezes/does not prompt the data erasure/press back button part. And I thought, maybe it is flash still, so I tried running "fastboot reboot fastboot", but adb keeps "waiting for any device"; it is odd because I ran "adb devices" prior to make sure the RG505 was connected and it was detected successfully. EDIT: I ran adb reboot-bootloader and it seems to be moving me forward, I will be updating this comment. Edit 2: I managed to reinstall, but what happens is that I that when I boot, I see a small google setup screen for like a second, and then the screen goes black, I guess I will have to leave it with the original OS.
@samdavies20692 ай бұрын

Hello, i just followed all the instructions, but accidentally pressed the down button instead of the home button (6m:15s). The anbernic now on the developer tools indicates that the bootloader is unlocked, and going to ADB fast Boot, prompting "fastboot reboot fastboot" a window pops up and the message "waiting for any device" appears. Additionally on the fastbootloader screen, i tried to flash the firmware but the equipment was not detected. On the Fastbootloader file i had to reboot the system, as i could do much more. Now my anbernic still works but loads up a message prior to the Anbernic Logo shows up on the top left side of the screen "fastboot mode INFO: LOCK FLAG IS: Unlock!!!. and a couple of seconds later the Anbernic starts normally. But now i no longer follow the instructions and press the HOME Button instead of the down...and also cannot entar Fastboot mode to flash the firmware. Can someone help? I know it can be a little complicated, but any help would be much appreciated. And also...can i run the FlashPartitions.bat with the RG505 on? i am asking because i cannot enter, the Fastbootloader (6m:55s) Thank you all. ;)

I guess were in the same issue, here is what I found to solved it, just follow the steps here, this should be solved your issue. Remove/rename any existing fastboot.exe application that exists on your PC to prevent issues with flashing such as the flashing stalling at vbmeta_a. Open a command prompt, type in the following command: where.exe fastboot.exe. This will show you where your fastboot.exe is being called from. Anything that is not in the C:\Program Files (x86)\ADB and Fastboot++\fastboot.exe location should be renamed to something else. Rename to something like oldfastboot.exe
