Appreciate the replies, updated pack, etc... but I'm still completely at a loss... I've done everything from reformatting my SD in all kinds of ways to making sure the order of copying rootfs and zImage is correct to turning off uboot protection... I've attempted the same changes you made for windows in Ubuntu, ran your changes in windows, ran the original installer, and even tried making changes myself to usbboot (slower speed, slower baud, etc)... different USB cables, different ports, different machines.
The flash in windows seems to go way too fast, but it does appear to work as you can see below. The device even appears to reset and at times shows the DINGUX splash after the flash is done... but once I reset (with reset button), I get nothing... black screen (can see light) with normal os and dingux splash screen if I hold select and boot into Dingux. No errors, no attempt to boot. I would think at the very least the original system would boot, and dingux would be the os that fails. Really don't know what else to try tonight... wasted most my day trying to get this working
This is what I get...
When you see the prompt "USBBoot :>" please enter the following command
exactly as it appears below:
run install
Press any key to continue . . .

If all has worked correctly, your Dingoo may now be reset and you should see
the Dingux splash screen.
