How to unbrick a fully bricked Neo G4 (That has a broken recovery button)

[Gh0st]

Many thanks to neog4/FreeRadical for firstly breaking his recovery button (like myself) and then bricking his device. We came together and eventually nutted out a solution which you can find in the tutorial I've written at my site:

I thought this may be useful for not only those who experience this same unfortunate situation but also Finless Bob, it would save you needing that 3rd hand for unbricking your X5

I will eventually do the same tutorial for the X5, it's not needed as much as this one though.. the recovery button on the X5 is MUCH stronger than the one on the G4

Thanks for sharing. This is how you unbrick many of the other TV sticks like UG802, etc. Interesting that they share having these pads on the board.

Also step 7 the instruction wording is correct (press restore button) but your picture shows upgrade as highlighted. You probably should fix that to save confusion.

Thank you also for all the work you do
This is an excellent forum you have here!!

Too much detail. LOL. Not that there is anything wrong with that...

He left out the part that he's in Australia and I am in India :P
Just to update, my Neo G4 has been working great since. Before it went bust, I was having several issues like spontaneous reboots, FCs and even graphic artifacts.
Thank you for all the help Gh0st
