Is it a "full" one? Where are full ones?.
sudo apt install armbian-firmware-full

My only thoughts on your dtb questions, is that as long as you are using a meson-gxl-s905x-* one you should be fine. I wouldn't worry about making modifications as you test different permutations.

I can not also get the two external usb adapters working
Make sure you have installed armbian-firmware-full. The default builds only include a trimmed down set of firmware that is intended to cover the common ones, but to save space doesn't include all the firmwares available in mainline linux kernel. That may solve your problem.
If you haven't already, I would suggest you open the box and see what wifi/bluetooth chip you have on your board. Then you need to make the dtb file match what hardware you have.

'u-boot-s905x2-s912
I'm assuming this is as typo, since that file doesn't exist.

The TX3 comes in a lot of different versions. What cpu does yours have? List the steps you have taken to try your install? (u-boot.ext version, dtb).
If you are testing with an SD card, what storage you have internally is irrelevant.

You first need to realize that the dtb is a binary output of the dtc command. You start by looking at the source dts files, that can be found in the kernel source. dTc compiles the dts files (and included dtsi files) into the final dtb binary
-
Getting a correct dtb is one of the most complex things to do. To do it correctly you really need to know in detail every physical aspect of the board, all the components and how they are wired together. You really need the complete board design information to do this. Otherwise you are just guessing. This is a very difficult task. The information is out there to learn how to do this, but expect to invest many weeks of time learning. But if you are up for a challenge...

Your question has nothing to do with Armbian. Please ask for help in forums that either deal with your device or with Android.
-
@JuFe00 That is a fork of Armbian not Armbian. They use the Armbian name without permission. They do not contribute to Armbian development nor do they participate in these forums. If you have questions about their builds, you need to ask on their support/forums, we can't help here with software we know nothing about.

Armbian_24.2.0_amlogic_s905x3_bullseye_5.15.145_server_2024.01.01.img.gz
This is not an Armbian build. Where did you download this from?
-
You should test performance for your use cases. Moving to emmc isn't going to make any real difference in performance, so if it isn't performing well enough for your use cases, it isn't going to get better.

Probably I will have same errors in "install-aml.sh" won't I ?
I don't know. Those scripts are written very differently so the bug you ran into on ddbr may or may not appear for the install script.

1. Do you agree that this is correct?
What you did to force the script to select the proper devices looks good.
-
Yes those are the dtb files to try. But you shouldn't expect that you are going to have all of the hardware work on these boxes. For example, of the boxes I own, I don't have working wifi on any of them. Just so your expectations are set correctly, please read it you haven't already: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/16976-status-of-armbian-on-tv-boxes-please-read-first

Is the only solution?
Yes. Unless you have the uboot skills to figure out what the aiden rom uboot setup is doing and figure out how to merge the multiboot code into that process.
On the performance side of things, have you tried running from a good quality SD card?
-
You need to find and restore the original manufacturer's firmware to get back to where you started from.
When you say armbian from usb was too slow, what exactly was slow? Running from emmc isn't going to make much if any speed difference. I'm not sure what you are expecting for performance from this.
-
what is the output of lsblk?
-
Try changing the following line in the script:
runfrom=$(lsblk | grep / | grep -oE '(mmcblk[0-9]|sda[0-9])')
to
runfrom=$(lsblk | grep / | grep -oE '(mmcblk[0-9]|sda[0-9])' | uniq)
-
Well, ddbr is a bash shell script. I think you may just need to dig in and debug what is going on. The script is parsing the output of lsblk.

Does give you a "Key" ?
That is the uboot output. That has nothing to do with ddbr. And yes that is expected output from uboot since linux can't read the android partition table. What is the error/log you are getting from ddbr?
-
If you can see /dev/mmcblk1 while running armbian off of your sd you have emmc.
You say that ddbr can't detect emmc, what messages/log from your run of ddbr can you provide?

After I can make the backup, I will try to install from SD card to EMMC. Then I will solve the problem about audio. I understand that once I have "linux" installed in emmc I can boot with any bootable usb drive, update drivers, and so on, isn't it?
I would warn against installing to emmc. That should be the last thing you do. First get your environment working as you want then once everything works correctly you may want to install to emmc. Running off of emmc doesn't give you any benefits along the lines you are thinking.

It seems it's the old obsolete version of 20 on s905x3 or nothing.
That is a generalization that isn't true. I have s905x3 boxes that work. So it may be an issue with your specific box not having a dtb that is compatible in the newer builds. What box do you have?

There is a reason the FAQ I pointed you to says not to expect to be able to get wifi or bluetooth working. I don't have wifi on any of the boxes I own.
