This happens when a firmware update fails, the device loses power during writing, or a virus corrupts the system files. The device will show one of the following signs: sunplus loader

Because the main firmware is corrupt, the CPU cannot boot into the OS. However, the mask ROM bootloader (which cannot be overwritten) is still intact. The Sunplus Loader bypasses the corrupt OS to write fresh firmware. This happens when a firmware update fails, the
