You have the famous SpecTek MLC-Nand FBML95B71KDBABH6-10AL, this one is not supported. There is an untested atvx 2ff version, but I have to repack it again

Please do if you can, maybe there still is hope for this tvbox, since Gearbest will not give me the stock firmware for it ( but atleast they'll refund me instead ).

SD card upgrade
- Checkbox on erase_flash, erase_bootloader must be set

Installation only with SDcard! Use Mask-ROM mode to exclude the Nand memory from the boot sequence

Well, I don't know exactly what pins should I short in order to enter Mask-Rom. If I try shorting the usual 4-5/5-6/6-7 pins from the PFC54 chip, nothing happens, the SD card is booting like usual and stopping at like 2-3%. The SD card was formatted with both the erase_flash + erase_bootloader options checked. Either the img is not good or I'm doing something wrong.

Sadly, the same thing happens, getting stuck at ~2-3% ( upgrading ). I don't think there's anything left to try for this tvbox... Ty anyway for your time and the help.

I need uart log. Create a CoreElec SDcard, short pins 29-30 and try to boot CoreElec, watching what happens..
