Flashing firmware meant for an Amlogic or Allwinner chip onto a Rockchip device will permanently brick it. How to Verify Your Board
If you are creating a custom ROM for personal use:
If you used Linux to edit the system partition, unmount it cleanly: sudo umount /mnt/system Use code with caution.
The "MXQ Pro 4K" is not a single device; it is a generic chassis used by hundreds of factories. Repacking firmware blindly leads to hard bricks.
After completing your modifications, repack the firmware in reverse order: mxq pro 4k rk3228a firmware repack
Open the Rockchip firmware factory tool or use the command-line interface tool RKUnpack . Select the Image: Source your stock RK3228A .img file.
