I have an X96 Max android box. Working fine for a few days then an official update presented itself and I took it. It worked fine for a moment then after I tinker on some settings, I lost my HDMI video output. So I was forced to try flashing custom ROM (SuperCeleron's ATV) hoping it will work again. I am sure the box is not dead as there is video output using the AV port. The AV port video output is of far less quality than that of HDMI so I decided to find ways to fix its HDMI port.
Today I was going to try flashing some custom ROMs but I can't because the USB burning tool that used to work can't hold on to my android box. After connecting the android box using male to male USB-3 cable, it detects the box and prompts it connected successfully but only for a few seconds. It then disappears on the list, even if I'm still pressing the Reset button. That's when I'm doubting the Reset button. So i tried connecting the AV cable to observe on the TV what the android box is doing. I then realized that the android is booting up even only powered by the USB-3 cable and even if the Reset button is pressed. That explains why the android box disappears on the USB Burning Tools list after being connected for a few seconds because it actually is booting up to the OS. I can use the android box normally using just the power of the USB-3 cable from the laptop. Is this normal?
Do you guys think there's still ways I can fix this box? Basically I can't use the HDMI output and I can't experiment with other ROMs now as I can't seem to get the box on flashing mode because of the unresponsive Reset button. I can't conclude that the Reset button is physically broken as it looked fine when I opened the box. The HDMI looked fine as well. The LED digital front panel which stopped working after I installed Superceleron's ROM looked fine inside also. It is indicated on the ROM that LED Panel won't work as it is from GT-1 mini device so I already know beforehand that it won't work.
I'm hoping someone had a solution for this HDMI no output issue for this S905X2 device as well as my problem with the reset button which prevents me from flashing this time.
