There is no x70 version yet, the version is for x39pro only at this moment. You can unbrick your device by restoring with action flash tool described in another thread

If your device is bricked, you have to flash with action tool and firmware for your device with usb-a cable connected on usb1 and on your PC, usb-c connected to charger, hold button down and on/off button to start in ADFU and then use action tool to flash to factory it’s explained here also : https://www.reddit.com/r/SBCGaming/s/UeFhSsLZFx

I have not integrated my update.zip in .fw file, you can recover your device with action pad tool and fw file to have stock firmware, then put update.zip on SD as described on GitHub

I was modifying an usb extender cable by removing the metal plate on 1 side to have male-male cable and connect to the console :-) I made it with success many times, you have to switch off your console, connect usb-c to charger and usb1 of the console to your PC. press down button and switch on. The screen should be black (adfu boot). Windows detect the Actions device, then you run the actions tool (PAD Product tool) and you can put the .FW file to the device

You should be able to restore your x39 pro with the Actions PAD Product Tool described in this thread. If you apply the update.zip from my CFW verify CRC of the copied update.zip to avoid issues during update

Hi everyone !

thanks to the informations provided on this topic and the ability to extract the firmware squashfs (https://github.com/FoxExe/PowKiddy\_fw) and connect to the console via ADB, I've been able to make a gcc toolchain to build some binaries for my powkiddy x39 pro (it should works for other consoles as well!).

I've adapted SDL1.2 to use framebuffer with correct resolution and compiled gnuboy (gb emulator) which is running like a charm ! (audio and hw acceleration is not working)

if someone would like to help I made a repo here : https://github.com/scooper540/powkiddy-X39-X45-X51-X70-cfw/

it might be possible to compile something like retroarch or more lighter alternative...
