X96 MAX TV Box BLACK 4/64GB Amlogic S905X2, Android 8.1, Dual WiFi, Gig Lan,USB3.0, BT4.0

[uscool]

Received the 16gb -2gb ram version today , had quick play with it and so far pretty impressed, I updated youtube to the latest version got it using Aptoide app although it works fine once loaded gets 4k etc once I exit and do other stuff I get Youtube has stopped working keep coming up I have been using the S Youtube app instead its also from Aptoide its meant for Android TV and get 4k this one also does HDR, the WIFI is really good even though this model only has 2.4ghz, Wondering if their is custom Android TV rom for this some apps like for VPN use the Phone version and navigating isnt the best with Android TV it would install the apps meant for Android TV

Thanks

That's supposed to be taken from a netflix stream . Sorry for the gore. IT's fake blood .
Looks HD.

It's DRM L3, which is below HD for Netflix. Plus the X96 Max is rooted which Netflix doesn't want for HD. Mind you, DRM has now been cracked, which opens up the options to get HD.

The correct pins to short are here (the link leads to russian forum 4pda, just open the spoiler, the picture is inside):

When you short them, the CPU will not detect the eMMC circuit during startup, thus will start some internal copy of the bootloader which will happily connect with USB Burn Tool.
So, short the pins on picture and recycle box power... keep the pins short until UBT detects the device.
This will unbrick any device even if you fill the whole eMMC flash with garbage...

then the both of us is just lucky.. hope my box not brick again to try the correct pin..

Glad to hear that man.. actually i read somewhere that need to short circuit using nand flash pin component.. but i cannot found that pin on our box board.. then i try the hdmi port and boom.. it worked.. hope this method can help other people who brick their box... enjoy

I'm happy to hear you both figured out how to revive your players. Awesome!

I've used the original Rom, but now I've flashed the Beelink Rom and the Xtmod Rom without problems. Thanks a lot again. It works now perfect.

Nice.. glad to hear that

Do you use the same rom or different rom?? I think is does not matter which rom we use.. just need to short circuit it.. thats all

Ok.. i manage to revive my device.. but using the rom that flashed that brick my device... i am flashed succesfully using burning tool.. but the trick is.. i short circuit the board.. i open the box and get access to hdmi component..

Here the step:

1 - open burning tool, load the img firmware that u use and cause the stuck at boot logo. As usual, click the start button after load the img.

2 - connect ur box using usb 3.0. Windows will show the device is not connect/ detect..

3- here come the trick.. take a small flat screw driver, go to hdmi port.. connect the pin using screwdriver( just touch and lift), the led will off and on.. repeat the process untill burning tool detect your device. The location of pin is the 2 and 3 from above ( as per picture)

4. Now i manage to boot up the box.. but the problem is now i cannot enter the recovery..

I will give it a try and report u. Thanks a lot.
Did you have any picture from the hdmi Port and the Pins to shortcut?

Now i manage to flash XTMOD rom using the method i told you. Try to short circuit until burning tool detect your device.

Also i manage to enter the recovery using the AV reset buton + power cord after flash XTMod Rom.. I hope u can revive your box back.. Good luck..
