MOD Dwarf Factory Reset
Requirements: Linux or macOS, basic command-line knowledge
There are currently no tools for factory deployment under Windows.
To begin:
- Press and hold down the right endless knob and the button just below it on the MOD Dwarf.
- Hold them for 2 seconds while powering on the unit, then release (the screens will say "MASKROM MODE ACTIVE")
- Connect the MOD Dwarf to your computer via USB cable if not done yet
- Download this file: https://download.moddevices.com/releases/moddwarf/tools/dwarf-factory-reset-v1.tar.gz and extract it
- Open a terminal and 'cd' to the directory where dwarf-factory-reset-v1.tar.gz was extracted, ie:
cd ~/Downloads/dwarf-factory-reset-v1
Now simply run:
./dwarf-factory-reset.sh
(sudo will likely be needed here)
On macOS, GateKeeper will prevent you from running the flashing tool.
TODO: write details on how to disable this for rkdeveloptool binary.
For non-64bit Linux systems, you will need to build https://github.com/rockchip-linux/rkdeveloptool yourself.
Continuing:
- After the script finishes, wait a few seconds and the MOD Dwarf will boot into recovery mode.
- Install a MOD OS factory reset image.
- Wait for the installation to complete (the unit will restart automatically).
Note: You can find MOD factory reset images in the Factory Reset Images section.
