X96 MAX TV Box BLACK 4/64GB Amlogic S905X2, Android 8.1, Dual WiFi, Gig Lan,USB3.0, BT4.0

I pushed and held the reset button just before plugging the power plug into the unit, and continue to push the button for about a minute. During that time the X96 boot logo displayed until it changed to the TWRP menu; then I let go of the reset button.

Ok.. thanks for reply.. i just did like u do and keep pressing about 5 minutes.. but no luck

At me, the same too. No Chance to get to recovery

My last idea: go to post 90 in this discussion. Then
download the 7zip file in message 90. It is used to format the microsd card. The formatting program asks for a formatting protocol file. From message 90 download the X96 uboot.bin. Then use the formatting program and select that uboot.bin and then format the microsd card. Then copy those files I used over again. Maybe it'll work then.
(normally Windows 10 will format a microSD card OK but maybe when you did, it didn't work right)

Ok.. i manage to revive my device.. but using the rom that flashed that brick my device... i am flashed succesfully using burning tool.. but the trick is.. i short circuit the board.. i open the box and get access to hdmi component..

Here the step:

1 - open burning tool, load the img firmware that u use and cause the stuck at boot logo. As usual, click the start button after load the img.

2 - connect ur box using usb 3.0. Windows will show the device is not connect/ detect..

3- here come the trick.. take a small flat screw driver, go to hdmi port.. connect the pin using screwdriver( just touch and lift), the led will off and on.. repeat the process untill burning tool detect your device. The location of pin is the 2 and 3 from above ( as per picture)

4. Now i manage to boot up the box.. but the problem is now i cannot enter the recovery..

Pardon me I am new to the android box scene, my first box is incoming h96 max x2, is awaiting customs clearance but I keep reading all forums nevertheless. I have done lot of flashing on android phones, my question is why will "adb reboot recovery" not work on your device to reach recovery? Also do these boxes not have fastboot mode?

I've used the original Rom, but now I've flashed the Beelink Rom and the Xtmod Rom without problems. Thanks a lot again. It works now perfect.

The correct pins to short are here (the link leads to russian forum 4pda, just open the spoiler, the picture is inside):

When you short them, the CPU will not detect the eMMC circuit during startup, thus will start some internal copy of the bootloader which will happily connect with USB Burn Tool.
So, short the pins on picture and recycle box power... keep the pins short until UBT detects the device.
This will unbrick any device even if you fill the whole eMMC flash with garbage...
