@Nick A once again you're a savior, thank you very much!

@Octavio Cuatrochio where did you put the 3.3V and GND? you only showed TXD and RXD

@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
