Happens all the time. Many don't read this in kunix's thread:

The typical curing algorithm (in general) looks like this:

  1. Flash your device with the CURE firmware (see below for more details). Please note that the CURE firmware will never boot, it can only enter the mass storage mode.
  2. Don’t disconnect your device from the PC. It should enter the mass storage mode and the PC should detect it as a new flash drive.


  • If the filesystem on the flash drive is OK then you should try removing/renaming some files that could cause problems. Start from those files that were created/copied last. Don’t forget about making backups.
  • If removing files doesn’t help, or you’ve accidentally formatted the flash drive into NTFS, or its filesystem is corrupted then you should reformat the flash drive into FAT or FAT32. Remember that when your device is cured you can restore most of the missing files by running WebUpdater.
