Unbrick S905x P212 Pin Short Method

[Mazda932]

Hi there.
I have a bricked M8SII : no boot, no blue led, no detection by computer.
It's the same motherboard like yours Devdigitel (and mile).

So i tried your method, but whitout succes for me.
Can someone here help me please?

I tried shorting the 2 pins in your picture, the power light blinks but USB tool and windows does not recognize anything.

Any additional help would be greatly appreciated

I tried shorting the tow pins but nothing happens, I tried doing it with all pins , still I have no Led ?? could you please advice us with a short video ?

Thanks.

Please provide some details, I'm in the same situation.
My box is opened, waiting for short pinning !

EDIT :

WOW WOW WOW !

I successfully make my box recognized by my PC via USB touching pins !

So I plugged the box to the computer using the male male USB cable + the power supply.

Then I touched these two pins (hold like a second)

Then I heard windows' sound that a new device is connected, it's detected withing USB Burning Tool, that's it!!!

EDIT II :
I was able to flash the stock firmware v112 (I had to uncheck "erase flash" in USB Burning Tool, I don't know why but the erase flash process is always failing at 7%, with the option unchecked I'm able to go through the whole process).

So now I can access the recovery mode again, but I have the error "unable to mount /misc".

If I boot the box normally I'm stuck on the "MEGABOX" logo screen.

Any idea of what to do next ?

How to Unbrick Magicsee Iron S905X

I followed above guidelines, only thing is this board is different.
As suggested, I randomly shorted various points and finally hit the jackpot. I accidentally succeeded by touching the circled area.
My advice is, Do not give up.
