Of course, try other images, I think notlist3d suggested some other image. You should know that standard SD card for these rigs as they come from China is Sandisc Extreme 8GB Class 10. I've tried the image in question with the regular one (Class 6 8GB) and it worked as well.
I don't know what is wrong in your case but definatelly tested this image and it works.
Keep us posted if you find the issue.
My image was a different one. Not a ton of unit's use it compared to the 1T images. But it's worth a shot of trying since nothing else worked. It's from a 1.5 T unit.
It also came off a 8 gb sd card, and will fit on a 8 gb sd card.
