Hi guys, i am new to this forum but i have experienced the same issue and have resolved it. I did follow the dissemble instructions but even so it still never fixed the problem so it was a waste of time. I have solved the problem on a cube u30gt h (not mini) but am sure it is the same procedure.

First things first, the reason why it bricked is obviously due to the firmware not being the correct one for your device, in my case i tried flashing the "kasty-cube_u30gt_h 1.10 firmeware which resulted in bricking the tablet (dead android with the red mark).

To solve the problem here is what i did.. i downloaded a different firmeware "kasty-cube_u30gt_h 1.06 instead put it on the root of my sd card, went into recovery and chose update rkimage, it installed fine and after it completed it rebooted and then went into a white screen. Now since i know this firmeware is the right one for my device i managed to put it into flash mode (power + volume up), note i was not able to get it into flash mode before only after i did the rkimage with a different firmeware then was i able to get in to flash mode. Last open rkbatch tool 1.5 choose the same image that you just done a rkimage update with (not the one that bricked the table) and hit restore, hopefully it should go through fine and your tablet should work.

Again, i did open the tablet but it was no help so i would not recommend opening it, as all that caused was a broken screw and the side of the tablet does not look to good.

HOPE THIS HELPS.. FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS Laugh

Can you add the thread to this new version of firmware or where I can find the update version for mini?
