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?

Pardon me I am new to the android box scene, my first box is incoming h96 max x2, is awaiting customs clearance but I keep reading all forums nevertheless. I have done lot of flashing on android phones, my question is why will "adb reboot recovery" not work on your device to reach recovery? Also do these boxes not have fastboot mode?

At me, the same too. No Chance to get to recovery

My last idea: go to post 90 in this discussion. Then
download the 7zip file in message 90. It is used to format the microsd card. The formatting program asks for a formatting protocol file. From message 90 download the X96 uboot.bin. Then use the formatting program and select that uboot.bin and then format the microsd card. Then copy those files I used over again. Maybe it'll work then.
(normally Windows 10 will format a microSD card OK but maybe when you did, it didn't work right)

I pushed and held the reset button just before plugging the power plug into the unit, and continue to push the button for about a minute. During that time the X96 boot logo displayed until it changed to the TWRP menu; then I let go of the reset button.

Hold it until the TWRP menu shows up. It took about 1 minute on my X96 for the TWRP menu to display and then I stopped pushing the reset button.

Thanks for your help, but I have tried it, as you description in Post 108. No recovery, and I press the Resetbutton longer than a minute. I've tried it with an sd card and an Usb Stick. I'm very happy for any other solution or advice. Thanks a lot.

On post 108, u mention that after u insert the power cord while press reset button.. after a minute recovery pop up.. is it mean i need to hold press the reset button longer ( more than 1 minute)???

Just format using windows default tool right? No need the software right? Then just normal copy n paste.. will try and report back

Correct

You could try my method that I described in post 108 in this thread. Format the microSD as fat32....

Yes. There is no way to get to the recovery or boot to the bootloader. It shows only the bootlogo, goes off and the bootlogo comes again. I have checked the resetbutton with an Multimeter, the Button worked. No solution till yet.
