FWDN won't regognice FY-521

Hello! I have LY-F521 tablet. I tried to flash a new firmware into it, but something went wrong. Now when i try to start up my tablet only what i see is android boot image. Nothing happens. I tried to even push menu + start, but then it goes into black screen. Is there anything i can do to get my tablet working again?

I think the main problem is that i didn't root the tablet before using installing new firmware. Is there still anything i can try? FWDN says something like usb boot loader error.
 
Welcome to AF! :)

Can you link me to the guide you followed to flash the firmware please? Once I see what you've done/supposed to do and what's involved in the process, I'll be in a better position to try and assist.

Thank You very much!

Actually this is my brothers tablet. He said that he tried to flash his tablet with instructions found on androtab.info (site down for me now...).

He downloaded CM7 image and flashed tablet with FWDN. He forgot to root his tablet first.

Main problem is that now even FWDN wont regognice the tablet. Win7 does that "beep" sound when tablet is on FWDN mode (power on + back button). When i open FWDN it says something "usb boot loader downloading" and then comes red text (FWDN USB BOOT ERROR or similar). What can i try now? If i power on the tablet only what i see is android startup screen.
 
Apologies, missed this response.

That site seems to be pretty temperamental for me too, can you link me to the exact instructions please, sorry. I can't find that exact model of tablet on the site.

If FWDN is the standard recovery image, you won't be able to flash a ROM with that (as you obviously know now). Can you see what's on the SD Card? Is there a file called update.zip on there?

Androtab seems working now, heres instructions my brother followed: CyanogenMod for Telechips | androtab.info

He just downloaded CM7 image for FWDN (this tablet seems to be same tablet as Diel Flick and Sense V7) and flashet the tablet. Tablet is based on Telechips TCC8903.

Im able to modify my SD card files with my card reader.
 
The FWDN package, does it install the recovery image for you? I've taken a look at those "instructions" (it could well be that I'd need one of those tablets in front of me to understand it properly tough) and it doesn't really look good.
