MOD Dwarf Factory Reset

Requirements: Linux or macOS, basic command-line knowledge
There are currently no tools for factory deployment under Windows.

To begin:

  1. Press and hold down the right endless knob and the button just below it on the MOD Dwarf.
  2. Hold them for 2 seconds while powering on the unit, then release (the screens will say "MASKROM MODE ACTIVE")
  3. Connect the MOD Dwarf to your computer via USB cable if not done yet
  4. Download this file: https://download.moddevices.com/releases/moddwarf/tools/dwarf-factory-reset-v1.tar.gz and extract it
  5. 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:

  1. After the script finishes, wait a few seconds and the MOD Dwarf will boot into recovery mode.
  2. Install a MOD OS factory reset image.
  3. 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.
