    Use a short USB-A male to USB-A male Cable. Not type C. Also try different USB ports of your laptop (not all of them provide the same power !!!). Also if you are using a PC, better try USB ports at the back (beside the motherboard).

            R-box 4K - RK3229 Thank you all.

            SOLVED
            I found it myself I'm ,sharing it to help other people. Connect the otg cable while short-circuiting and pressing the power and reset keys.

                You didn't say what cable you use (type and length).

                    To take out of the "equation" problems because of the cable either shorten the cable to less than 30cm or even better make a new one DIY. Most of us have spare/useless cables around (from old smartphones etc). Cut the USB-A male part of 2 such cables and connect the 4 inner wires color to color. A DIY cable better do it less than 15cm in length.

                      I saw a guy take a screwdriver and start touching pins until he found the right ones and his box connected in a video. I would never do something like that nor recommend doing it. I just mention it because it would seem either he was extremely lucky or it's not as hard to destroy the chip as one might think. Probably a bit of both.

                            Don't give up yet. When I first started doing this I must have bricked my box 6 or 7 times before I settled on a custom ROM I liked. I told you about the guy in the video to give you a bit of hope that it's possibly not dead. I wouldn't cut my losses until I was 100% sure I was short the correct pins. I've had ROMs not load at all erroring as soon as I started the flash or get to the 80% mark and error and even complete successfully that all bricked it. But brought it back to life every time.
