Actually nothing solved it. Fact is I had to download ROM after ROM online until I found a compatible ROM and it flashed without having any problems at all and it's repeatable - i.e. the problem was mismatch for the PCB despite the ROMs both being for MX4N RK3229 with AP6051.
But back to the point, yes as far as shorting pins to unbrick, worked great on two different Scischion V88 RK3229's (V88 is a MX4N variant) and flashed without issue on any Rockchip flasher app once I found the right ROM.
FYI for those having issues flashing to the MA8-4K box, there is no factory rom currently , if you've bricked your only choice is to flash a compatible ROM. .The only compatible ROM that flashes with zero problem are the marshmallow ROMs for the V88 (SV6051 / AP6051 wifi chipset version).
