What you need:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Macbook Pro + Virtual Box + Windows XP VM
    \nAlright, I’m kidding \u2026 you just need a Windows machine, I tried Windows 7 and Windows 8 (using Windows 7 drivers) are both working, but in case you just have a Mac like me, VM is the way to go. You’d better map all USB devices to the Windows VM since it changes name during regular boot+USB debugging, and recovery boot.<\/li>\n
  2. Download the recovery kit from here<\/a>, use the MK802III link, you will get a zip file. Unzip, launch RKBatchTool.exe and leave it running on your Windows machine.<\/li>\n
  3. Unplug everything from MK802III, open the case of MK802III – nail is the best tool for me and it should work for you as well<\/li>\n
  4. Follow the document (one in English and one in Chinese) to short circuit the two pins, and plug in the USB to your computer at the same time. I actually found there are two small dot beside the other side of the chip which is more easier if you have a flat metal piece instead of a tiny needle.<\/li>\n
  5. If everything works smoothly, you will see one block in the RKBatchTool.exe interface changed to some other color (different color may have different meaning, but I really want to ignore it for now).<\/li>\n
  6. Click the button with “\u2026” on the top right corner of the RKBatchTool.exe interface, pick the img file from the zip archive (should be RKM802III_20121115Recovery.img), click “Upgrade” button (that’s the 2nd button from left, at the bottom of the interface), it will take 2~3 minutes.<\/li>\n
  7. Power off\/on the MK802III, you will get original official Android back running on the stick.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
