S905X unable to boot from SD/USB stick. Any chance for flashable image via USB Burning tool?

Hi guys, I have two S905X Mini M8S III (not II) and no matter what I try, it just can't boot from SD or USB stick. No toothpick method, no "reboot update" from terminal, nothing. Maximum I get a black screen and device is dead! However I can flash Android ROMs without issues using the Amlogic USB Burning Tool. But seems there's no LibreElec image suitable for that kind of flashing? Is there flashable image for Amlogic USB Burning tool? Or can I somehow create one? I'm a total noob in this area. And I desperately want LibreElec on my two Mini M8S III.

If you are getting black screen, the device tree you are using is probably wrong. Try a different one.

For S905X the difference in device trees is only the amount of RAM, right? I use 2G one.

It was wrong device tree indeed! Sorry.
And the only possible way to reboot into recovery is to use Terminal emulator and type "reboot update".
