Here is the process that Surgey has discovered that will fix the pairing issue if it is related to a fault Boot Loader. There is a lot of information provided but I believe that it is all relevant to the process and should be taken into consideration.

We have changed the process slightly after seeing some SD boot issues

This video explains why I don't believe the NAND is saturated and requires replacement.

This video is the same process but with a board missing one of the FB36 pads. It has a few close ups so you can see what I am doing.

These are the commands that are used within Putty

insmod /opt/sentinel/modules/mtd_write_enable.ko

flash_eraseall /dev/mtd0
nandwrite -p /dev/mtd0 /home/orig/mtdblock0.bin

I have also included the invite for Discord which can be used to ask question and obtain other information. It also has a sales section for parts as well as broken and working Karmas. It includes a section when people can let you know (hopefully with Country and state details) that they can carry out the process for you (assumption is that it will be for a fee).

This process will not be within everyone's abilities but with the knowledge of what needs to be done it provides you with options.

Sorry about the dogs barking in the background but they are not mine.
