Bell Streamer - Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers

Bell is shipping me one of their streamer devices and looking at the specs, its just a repackaged ADT-3 device with a custom Bell ROM on it.
Since all my TVs already have capable devices attached to them, this frees up the streamer for exploration and fun. I was wondering if anybody has managed to unlock the bootloader and load custom roms to this device?

Hello
They send me one for free and i tried installing ADT-3 Stock ROM after reading Bell Terms of service and ended up bricking it
I tried using Amlogic tools to unbrick it but i unfortunately the board is Password protected since the Frederic exploit.
I have currently wiped all partitions to make the processor (Amlogic S905Y2) look for SD and USB Boot devices. which it is now doing.
Serial output:

I'm currently searching docs / forums to read to get a better grasp on the required images and bins to make a Bootable USB for this device.
If you are wondering how i'am getting USB Drive on that device i'am just using a OTG Converter and using an modified HUB To inject current in the device, you can basically achieve the same by cutting the USB Lead and injecting voltage.
I will keep this thread up to date if manage to unbrick it a flash custom ROM on the device.

The ADT-3 uses an unencrypted bootloader. The Bell Streamer doesn't. The device is looking for the encrypted Bell Streamer bootloader, but in this bootrom mode it will only look on the emmc or a sd card. As far as I know, at this stage, it can't boot directly from USB. If you discover otherwise, please let us all know.
The reference to USB that you see in the above string is for a bootrom worldcup usb connection. As you noted, this mode can't be used for much if it is password protected.
