well, this is awkward. moreso given the tech savviness of an average fedizen, but still worth a try. who knows, maybe im not the only one buying garbage for shits and giggles.

so i got myself a chinese tablet, one of those fake 8/128 ipads or whatever. specifically a BDF p50 (or as it calls itself in the recovery, a TOSCIDO/T26/T26 versioned 12/SP1A.210812.016/YD120101). it also calls itself the POWMUS BDF, using the "x30_6762_64_s" board (info from AIDA64).

and i bricked it. completely. boot's wiped off, and given its based on a mediatek cpu (mt6762, a lower end 2018 SoC more commonly known as Helio P22), a wiped boot means theres no fastboot and no recovery, so now all i have is the preloader.

there is a dump of allegedly bdf p50 firmware floating online, but applying it to my tablet was, in fact, how i bricked it. so now i need help restoring it to a usable state. anything goes really, as long as it boots into android and i can install apps on it.

device photos for ease of identification included.
