Today i got my PineTab2 delivered. Unfortunately it seems, that the emmc is somehow corrupted.
The Tablet won't turn on.
I created MicroSD Card with factory Image from here:
https://echo.danctnix.org:7269/danctnix-...527.img.xz
When i turn it on with the Debug Adapter booting from Micro-SD Card it boots from MicroSD Card.
When i choose Flash OS to emmc card, it begins to write, but it throws some errors, about mmc init (See log)
When the writing is about 60% it shows - Flashing Successfull. When i switch off the tablet, but it still wont turn on.

Looks like Flash process premature quite at 60% and fro sure the code in eMMC still not complete programmed. Please reflash again and hopefully this time 100% completed.

After 26 unsuccessful attempts to reflash the emmc - it worked.
I don't know what changed, battery was charged over 80%.
Suddenly there were no more mmc initialization errors and the process could go over 100% successfully. Thread can be closed. Thanks all for support and help!

How did you get to the PineTab2 Factory Tool?  I'm looking to re-install Arch on my PineTab 2 using the UART adapter, but it just boots to login screen.  I'm not sure how to get to this factory tool.  Thanks!

My reflashing of the emmc only took ~8 attempts. Failing progress was to slowly get to 60% and then ended with no error. Not sure what I did differently but power was plugged into UART board and battery was at 100% at time of successful re-flashing.
