transistor amp not working after shorting output

I have been following this thread with some interest. Though your amplifier has trouble, the larger problem is with communication between the helpers and the 'helpee'. I am not trying to make fun of this, but the language barrier here is incredible to me. Even for some of those who English is their first language, comments or instructions are not so clear. I can't imagine what the help of a translator app in the other cases is contributing to all of this.
In spite of what I have said, and also what I would also feel if I were you, I ask that you try to take just a couple more steps since, I am getting the feeling that you are nearer to the solution than you realize.
As a point to all here, proofreading would really help some of the gaps being made here.

e-b voltage 0.6 0.7 c-b 40v (if trimmer is adjusted to left that bulb does not glow) and 26v if in the middle. i hope this clears all the things about transistors. when i adjust trim i do get volume and current draw is not as bad but i still get distortion.

Communication isn't always about spelling. It is usually proofreading what you are trying to communicate. Then when I see it going both ways, the path is more about thorns than direction.
Fortunately, your videos are a great help to those wanting to actually see how you are measuring something, so that is a plus. Also you have good ability with graphics and that too helps the communication.
I still think that you are very close to getting to something important here.

i hope so, people as for same things all the time xdd thats main issue for me. i posted my measurements and thats enough for one who knows. my profession is music so i know when i have to make a song what i have to do when customer tells me what they need. so my point is that for people who are pros my info should be enough, this amp was built by someone who is not skilled xddd

When you write or play music, your interpretation of it depends on the notes written on the staff. Then someone who reads music as a second language will require some patience. I am kind of joking here, but you get the idea.
I can't imagine the trouble that I would have had in your case. I learn pretty slow as it is.
 
@sg97, In post #44, there was a resistor that was no value reading, did you replace it?

In post #57, one of the two 220Ω resistors showed 320Ω, did you replace it?

I also noticed that when you measure the voltage in post #489, the black probe is not on the ground trace.

those wired ones are replaced with 1.5ohm that people said is ok, other resistor values you can check in piture that i provided
 
The resistor between the two diodes (132KΩ) definitely needs to be replaced! Please replace it with a 22-47Ω resistor and post the results.
Edit:
If you don't have a 22-47Ω resistor on hand, you can connect the two diodes together with a short wire and check the center voltage.
