You need to short pins and enter MaskROM Mode.
Use FactoryTool v1.63 to flash.

Thank you for fast response, do I flash same 9.0 rom in maskrom mode? Will I find in youtube which pins to short on rk3328 chipset? I see that A5X Max Plus tv box is very similar like this X88, can i try 8.1 firmware from that model if this 9.0 is not good. I can not find more info on X88 procedure and firmwares.

I have a YSE 4K 64GB+4GB DD3 which came with 7.1.2 on, the firmware especially the playstore was crap..Typical Chink blanket ban. I am now running the X88 MAX+ 8.1 Firmware and its running ok.
Apart from the original remote stopped working, I am now using an air mouse the remote control will turn the box off, but won't turn it on..If you can put up with that...All is ok.

You guys can flash OpenGApps via twrp to fix some problems, fixed my mx9 pro box doing that.
