No, shorting the pins to reset and revive a bricked android box. Yeah, no joking, with the Chinese android boxes you will have surprises: only 2GB RAM in Linux, but 4GB in Android, different wifi, BT chips, emmc from many manufacturers. The name and brand is a lottery, could get a good hw could byte the bullet. Also, some boxes come with encrypted bootloader so bye bye CE or other sideloaded OS.
