Hello
My MXQ Pro 4K 5G have a button in AV Port. but no red light nor blue aren’t appear when I hold reset button in AV Port and then insert power plug. I am waiting for over a minute. when I remove reset button and unplug and then plugged, the MXQ window is open. nothing is happened. I want to reset my device because they rooted and fake my device is Android 10 and then Rom is 128 😂. It have super user and I can’t completely unroot. for reinstall the firmware is a best idea I think but I haven’t USB to USB cable 😁
