Okay, for some reason my board is a bit weird.
It seems that most boards only need a usb connection for flashing, but mine is a bit more work.
I have to use the USB port that has "Download" written next to it, which is next to the sd card slot, hold the reset button, then plug the power.
If I did it correctly, I can see the device on AML burning tool.
As for the connection, I used USB A to USB C cable, and plug the USB C end to my laptop.
Please note that before bricking this device I tried to flash with atvxperience to this tv box.
As for shorting the pins, I've tried to short all the pins that are adjacent to each other. i.e. 1-2, 10-11, 11-12, etc
I have not tried to short pins that are far apart though, as it has a lot of combinations.
The procedure I used is also the same:
1. Plug USB download side
2. Hold screwdriver that shorts the pin
3. Plug in power
4. Wait a bit to see if it is recognized by the PC.
I also noticed that when I first try to short the pins, shorting some pin will cause a beeping/hissing sound (I do think its an inductor noise since the board itself doesn't have any speaker/buzzer). But now, the noise is gone.
Here's the closeup view of the FORESEE chip (Its NCEMASD9-08G)
