Xiaomi refuses to help because I did not buy my unit at Walmart. Unit is bricked. LED comes on, but that's it. I can connect it to my PC with a male-to-male USB, jump the motherboard, and the Amlogic USB burning tool can connect to it. But there is no firmware img file to flash.

What do I do now? Do I seriously just throw this device into the trash?

Thanks

EDIT : Tried over 100 times to get into recovery mode, never made it, even though the LED was on. Ended up trashing the unit. I will always recommend Nvidia Shield to people in the future.
