Grettings to all!

I have problems with flashing or/and booting my Box via SD card... :(

Specs:
MXQ Pro Plus 4k 2/16 GB
CPU: S905X
MB: H234 v2.42 2017-11-20
WIFI: RealTek RTL8723
CHIP: SAMSUNG KLMAG2GE4A-AOO1

i've tried booting:
- TWRP S9XX (as "recovery.img")
- TWRP S905x (as "recovery.img")
- Some Custom ROMS burned with SD/USB creators (tried different device_trees)

SD card is 16GB formated in FAT32.

In every scenario i have same result - booting stuck at first logo...

At the moment i wait for Male A - Male A cable to flash it properly ;)
Meanwhile i'm asking for some advices from more experienced android magicians...
What am i missisng here? What do i do wrong?

Whats my goal?
To make it usable! At the moment device is not running Disney+, HBO MAX, Amazon Prime and even have problems with YouTube... It is useless... :(

Please, HELP...

Cheers

Amlogic firmware update guide for Android TV-Box (APCTV)

Booting ROM .img-es from SD card is not possible.

Use temporary TWRP...

It's recommended (only) flashing method.

MXQ devices (so many hardware versions) are infamous due to compatibility issues, so AtvX firmware may not work.
