[NEED HELP] Unable to unbrick MXIII

[LouD]

Hello everyone!
I have been a long time fan and lurker of this website and am in need of your help. I have tried right about everything there is to find on this website and the rest of the internet to unbrick my device. It has gone so far that it has become a sport to unbrick the box, but I haven't been able to reach the finish yet.

I would really appreciate it if you hardware wizards and guru’s could help me.

I have a 2,5 year old Android tv box named "MXIII 4K" which I didn't use that much and a couple of months ago I wanted to install Linux on it.
Before that I had tried to upgrade the firmware with USB Burning Tool but could never find the right firmware for it. USB Burning tool always stopped at 2% so I gave up.

Before the brick it had Android kitkat 4.4.2 on it and runs on an Amlogic s802-b. It's a 2GB/8GB version.

Okay, back to what happened.
I created a bootable USB stick with "RemiX_115k4" on it thinking it was the correct firmware and booted into recovery method using the toothpick method.
I got into recovery mode and selected "apply update from EXT" and the box started updating. So far so good! Or so I thought...

When the update was done I rebooted the box and then, nothing...
No signal on tv, nothing. Just a red light on the box which would turn blue after pressing the power button, but then still nothing.

What have I tried so far to ubrick my device?

At first I tried connecting the box to my PC through USB and no power cord. The box led would stay red but my PC would immediatly identify the device as "WorldCup Device". I figured out that my box would always start straight into recovery mode because my PC would always detect it as WorldCup Device. Using the toothpick mode wouldn't change anything.
This meant that I could try and flash the device using USB Burning Tool. After opening the tool my box would be recognized and shown as connected.
After downloading about every firmware I could find on the Internet that would be anywhere near suitable for my box, I just started to try and flash it.
Unfortunatly I kept on getting errors and the tool would always stop at 2%. I tried multiple sizes and sorts of USB cables, different USB ports including USB2 and USB3 ones. I tried multiple versions of USB Burning Tool and the WorldCup driver. Made sure I had license files etc. But the flashing would always stop at 2% and the USB would disconnect and then reconnect.
I ended up installing the debug verdien of the driver and running a debug tool during flashing. This told me that there was a problem writing to the usb with the multi-USB command. But it didn’t help me further in any way.
Details of the USB connection showed that the box was recognised as an M8 Chip.

When this didn’t seem to work I tried the NAND short mode and then tried to burn, and the NAND short mode with toothpick. But always nothing...

After no luck with the burning tool I tried to switch to USB flash drive and SD card flashing. Again I downloaded about every firmware I could find suitable for my box.
I created bootable SD cards with "Boot Card Maker", "Burn Card Maker", "PhoenixCard_V309" etc. The box never booted from SD or USB or give display on my tv.

I searched for and downloaded about every tool there is to find out there including AMLogic FTP tools etc. None of them made me able to let the box come back to life. I tried tools like "burn_developerV1.0.9", "USB_PCBA_Test_ToolV1.0.2", "DDR_Test_Tool" etc.

At this point I had no more idea in what to do untill I found out about UART so I ordered some UART devices.
When connecting to the box through UART I could finally get some information. It however never changed the way the box behaved.
After connecting UART I got the following information in a continues loop.

Atleast it's something, but it looked like my box was in a loop. I am unable to send any commands to the console and to me it looks like the box doesn't go past LB1 stage or skips it.
When hooking up the box to my pc while looking at the UART output revealed that the UART console just stoppen giving information the moment my PC detected the USB device. After disconnecting the console would show information again. When trying to flash using USB Burn Tool the UART output would be all garbage and unreadable.

At some point I found out about JTAG and saw that my PCB had an unidentified connector with 10 ports called CN1. But unfortunatly I am unable to define which pin is what in relation to JTAG or that it even is JTAG. This cost me a couple of days of trying. All I was able to find out about the connector pins by using a multimeter is this:

  1  = 0.00v gnd
  2  = 4.21v IR LED
  3  = 0.00v gnd
  4  = 0.01v 21.8ohm
  5  = 2.90v 22.5ohm
  6  = 2.90v 22.3ohm
  7  = 4.30v
  8  = 0.00v
  9  = 0.00v
  10 = 3.27v

At this point I was about to give up untill I read about flashing u-boot.bin to the SD card. So I flashed a u-boot.bin for an as I later found out M6 CPU to the SD boot partition. When starting up the box with this SD card it seemed like the box did read the SD card as it gave some form of error message with a path to some M6 information. Which I could verify by decompiling the u-boot.bin. But other then that nothing else happened and the box was still in a loop. I tried several other u-boot.bin files but none ever gave an error and I could not reproduce the error. The bootloader just doesn’t load and / or doesn’t do antything with the files on the SD card. Obviously I also tried a USB stick but that didn’t work at all.

I like to think that I have tried every possible way and combinations of ways to recover my box.
So here I am with a non booting device stuck in a boot loop that’s always in recovery mode with no more options to try.

In the end I have no clue what firmware is suited for my box.

All help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Here are some pictures of my box:

I've been able to get the error message back from UART that I wasn't able to reproduce before.

When I use "bootcardmaker" I can format an SD card and burn u-boot.bin to startup partition.
I tried this with the u-boot.bin from dexstars-nandscrubber and put nothing else on the SD card.
Then when I insert it into the mainbord SD slot, open UART and turn on the box I get the following information.

Ps. When burning any other u-boot.bin to SD card I get no messages at all except the boot loop information i already posted.
