    X7-216BN (Minix Neo X7 - Industrial version)

    Hello guys. I am writing here to you because I recently been gifted with this device by my dad who bought it with the idea that it can make my tv go "smart". On the package and on the back of the device it says: X7-216BN / X7MVP175C.

    The device looks similar to the minix neo x7 version, the big one not mini. While trying to plug it in, It booted up to a screen showing "MOOD: Android Setup" which was protected by a password "mvision". The installed android version was 4.2.2 without google play services and a very poor performance. Photo: https://i.ibb.co/dDqXjnt/mood-screen.jpg
    So, I decided to mail the minix support team and ask them about this box, they told me this is called "MVP175" device and is an OEM device that is customised by them for different bussinesses and if I want to use it I have to pay them to customise it for me. After that I have decided to enter minix telegram group where one of the guys that manages it told me to email him.
    So I did, he told me I can revert to default firmware by flashing this version https://theminixforum.com/index.php?...y-8th-2016.22/
    I did flashed it and now my device won't boot, I have only a black screen that is not triggering my monitor which stays in standby, like a no power thing.
    I did some research and found out about the Finless_4.2.2_1.9 custom rom. I downloaded Android Flash tool and succesfully flashed it. Everything boot up, everything worked but I found myself stuck with an outdated version of android.
    So I decided once again to try and flash the 4.4.2 version. While trying with the rkbatchtool i got the same result: black screen
    After I searched some more I found out about a tool called RKDevelopmentTool. I have tried to change the loader to multiple versions from 2.08 up to 2.19.
    On 2.08 loader the screen showed this logo: https://i.ibb.co/FXSh6hC/attempt-1-t...l-firmware.jpg but flickered fast and turned off and never wanted to boot up again.
    Next I have tried the 2.13 loader and the screen showed the same image as the one on 2.08 but with no flicker. The screen stood like this for about 15mins and then I turned it off because obviously it was stuck. (the finless rom load up in no time not even 5/7mins as it it advised to let it after flash).
    I decided to try and put back Finless 4.2.2 rom and try to work out with it. Surprise:
    After I have flashed the finless again the device is stuck in a twrp recovery boot loop. I don't know why is that because the flashing was done with the same files that i used the first time and completed succesfully.
    If someone here has even a little idea about what is happenning here I would be grateful to know about it. Many many thanks.
    Here I will let link with the pcb of the device and the sides.
