Bricked MK809III tv player HELP:)

[arnold]

Ok, hi everybody. I got this MK809iii android stick with RK3188 chipset from Tinydeal. Since the beginning it was regularly crashing and self resetting, last night it did some kind of OTA update, but hanged and then did not work anymore. So I read a little here and there and decided to flash it. I used the NeoTv custom rom flashed it -worked, but wifi did not work. I guess my device used the newer Ap6210 or so
chip from Broadcom for wifi, so i found that version of the Neotv rom. When flashed i got cannot write IDB. And that was it. No work anymore. Then I found out iver the forums that the NAND CHIP has to
be shorted and put to MaskRom to flash it. Tried to short pins 6-7, no work, 7-8, 8-9. Basically every option mentioned here in these forums. I even tried 5-6+7-8 or 5-6+8-9. No sucess. The rktools detect it as a green box (normal flash mode). Could not put it in MaskRom mode. Strange is even if i do not predd the flash switch while connecting it always enter the flash mode. I am so stuck and pissed with that stick. Anyone can help me?

Here is a layout of the device. As far as I understand the first leg count starts from the upper right corner where the dot is.

Just swipe through all the pins softly with needle or whatever in the NAND chips in the same time u connect it with pc.that works for me.

Counting from the upper right corner (where the dot is) I tried the 5-6. then 6-7, 7-8 and 8-9. Then I tried all neighbour pins two by two - no luck. Aren't they all the same length?
They seem same to me... I Will try on WinXP now, but I doubt the result will be different.

nope, only standard flash mode (green cube) in RK Batch Tool. I am going nuts now...

I have tried all the long legs around the nand chip yes. Maybe it has to br 5 with 7 or 6 with 8 or something like that. Problem is I cannot identify the chip ...

I will try in a while...

update. I tried between 5and 6 where you suggested - same thing. I tried between all the pins on that line and between 6 and 7 the system does not recognise the device at all...
Any ideas?
