Thanks, @Hqnicolas
 
Curiously, It's both the reset button method, and eMMC CLK shorting MASK ROM modes that go away. The device boots into MASK ROM mode, as opposed to a normal boot, however there's no USB device available to flash with. Trash the bootloader and you get the MASK ROM (CLK shorting) mode back.
 
I'm not bothered by it. It's just something to be aware of I guess. Sooner or later someone is going to say that their box is comprehensively bricked. Without an SD card socket or TTL port to upset the offending eMMC bootloader, to a certain extent that may be true.
 
 
Golly, I can't tell you all just how very pleased I am with Armbian on my H96 Max V56 TV box.  It works so remarkably well, and is a tremendous credit to all those that have diligently worked on it, and have brought it to this stage. I can't wait to see where it goes from here. Awesome!

I Will test it,
will need to remove my TTL enabled server.
@paradigman I tested it in an TTL disabled and it doesn't boot.
Tomorrow I will Migrate my TTL enabled server to test these images in a clear device.

Update:
