Hi Igor, I recently updated to Armbian 25.11.2 bookworm aarch64 with kernel Linux odroidhc4 6.12.58-current-meson64. This should be a working version? There I still get the same connect-debounce error. Do you have any advice?

Hi all, i've been going this forum long enough to try and root a tv box that i buyed recently, but this one is HEAVILY locked up, like nothing i have seen before. My objective here is to access 'su' so i can have access to rooting/overclocking this thing for emulators, and after that adding a heatsink, active cooling, etc. I tried ADB over all USBs (4 in total) but nothing. then i tried to see if root was available through some leftover app or vulnerability, but nothing. Then i tried following the specs from this thread (pretty similar in design to my PCB) but my UART displays nothing. (I leave the images from my setup below), i tried switching the wires, i tested the voltages and they return 3.3v, so they are ok. I tried the toothpick method to access recovery, but it has 2 buttons. 1 does nothing (AFAIK) and the other one goes directly to updating, so no menu. Any help is appreciated, as i'm out of any ideas. I leave my pictures below, and my specs: CPU: Alwinner H313 RAM: 1GB ROM: 8GB PCB: Z01S-v13.3, 2025.05.20 OS: Android 7-8 ish

Well, this version of the PCB seems the most locked up of all. I tried ADB with all USBs, no dice, no root, i soldered the wires to the UART test pins (See image below) but with my setup (also see image below) i could not get any logs via TIO in Linux. Also, the toothpick method does not shows a menu, but goes straight to updating, so ALSO there is locked up, so i cannot go to recovery. Any ideas? i'm pretty out of ideas at this point. Are the wires badly soldered? both shows 3.3V, so i suppose not. Is my USB-To-TTL badly configured? Btw, my PCB is Z01S-v13.3, 2025.05.20. Any help is appreciated.

$ grep TARGET config/boards/pine64.conf KERNEL_TARGET="current,edge,legacy" KERNEL_TEST_TARGET="current" So, you can compile either current, edge or legacy for your board. Stick the desired string in the BRANCH switch and off you go. What kernel that is depends on the board or board family and in your case you can check config/sources/families/include/sunxi64_common.inc to find that as of today edge=6.16, current=6.12 and legacy=6.6. So, 6.2 to 6.5 is not an option. But you could always go back to an earlier git state of the build framework or add your own targets. Why do you need those specific kernels?

Also, interesting to see your updates. I keep seeing a lot related to GStreamer, will need to look more into that.
