@Nick A One last question, if i do this will i still have to use UART and flash the firmware? imma guess it's a yes but i guess it's still worth asking.
@Nick A could you explain this a bit to me? i'm actually quite new to this and i just got this TV box the only thing i managed to do was installing a software version from a guy who debloated and checked it for spyware.
also when i use the reset button in the av jack it just ignores everything and recovers from an internal image or something.
I have this exact same model and the device appears to be heavily locked down...
Did this method worK? i'm trying to get a linux ARM distribution running but i can't flash a custom ROM
