If that fails can you try on a Windows 10 PC ?
Only if you are running a Windows 10 virtual machine!I have a MacBook Pro A1502 laptop with newest OS, will that work?
I don´t know if it works but you should try first reflash firmware as i wrote before:Been researching uboot issues on the web. Looking into swapping out onboard battery.

I don´t know if it works but you should try first reflash firmware as i wrote before:
-with another PC (another OS, another clean PC)
-disable antivirus/firewall to flash and disable internet
-another usb burning tool version
-another cable (PC-minix)
etc...
Do this for now:I've tried most of the variables you proposed, I will try shutting down the internet and disable antivirus, thanks!
PS: I have tried various USB and image burning tools/version on Two PC's one with WinXP and the other with Win7 operating system.
Also For now I could perform a simple voltage check on the onboard (3v) battery.
Another message board on the 7% uboot error talks about repacking image try again or using a UART adapter to flash the individual partitions. I have no knowledge of this process.
Have you tried freshly downloading the FW image itself in case the copy you've had all this time is somehow corrupted itself?
Have you also tried flashing an earlier FW version for the U1? (You can always use the OTA update to bring the system back to FW013 if successful. For example, I had a U9-H that failed to flash FW008 repeatedly with no explanation why at all but FW007 immediately flashed successfully.)
Both worth trying as you've pretty much covered all other options.
Yes.Not sure if I tried the earlier FW versions? Just incase I didn't, I'll give this one a try again. Thanks!
Yes.
The more firmware versions you have the better.
Tip:
If not sucess with two or three atempts it is better leave the device rest for a while and do the same procedure for example the next day.
