This tool attempts to unbrick the Creality K1 (Max) mainboard by switching
boot to the backup partitions. This assumes one set of your partitions are
still functional.
How it works
The OTA partition on the K1 contains one of two strings
ota:kernel
and ota:kernel2
. This string instructs
the booting process to use a specific set of partitions. This tool updates the
OTA string to the next one, allowing the boot process to try the alternative
set of partitions.
For more information about this process and access to a standalone tool visit Creality K1 USBBoot Tool.
- Connect the Creality K1 mainboard microUSB to your computer. If you're on Windows, you'll need to install the Ingenic Burner Driver. No drivers are needed on Linux/MacOS.
- Put the mainboard into flash mode by holding down BOOT, while holding BOOT, hold RESET, let go RESET, let go of BOOT. If successful one of he blue LED on the board should stay dimmed. Your computer should also recognize a new Ingenic USB device.
