Yes it errors because your uboot environment is screwed up by everything you have previously done. That is why I said you need to reinstall an original android firmware to set things back to a clean state before proceeding.
-
Given where you are, my only suggestion is to restore the box to a clean android firmware (so the uboot environment is restored to a clean state). Then restart with a current build (don't use the 6 year old build that you found somewhere). The two versions aren't compatible.
Then get things running cleanly from SD card first, and then if you still want move the install to emmc.
-
Please use a build that isn't 7 years old.

Read the FAQ and the install instructions linked there

What Armbian image are you using? Full boot log would be helpful as well.
-
@Almir Oliveira why are you looking for a build that is over three years old and includes a Linux kernal that is no longer supported? Why not download the latest build from the Armbian downloads page?

Have you tried the install instructions and build from here: https://www.armbian.com/amlogic-s9xx-tv-box/

This video should give you the information you need for setting up a usb debug uart connection:
-
At this point you seem to have done everything properly. The next step would be to find the uart connection point on you board and hook up a usb-uart reader so you can see the debug output from uboot to see what is happening.

already boot the images with press the button and maintain IT.
That is enabling multiboot (what enabled either Armbian or android to boot.
I'm going through with you all the basics that you didn't mention in your original post (and that others often forget to do), to eliminate all the basic things.
You say "maintain it", but you shouldn't hold that button too long, a few seconds (10 at most is all you need). Holding too long will not work.

I don't use multiboot.
This is required to use Armbian on the amlogic TV boxes. Enabling multiboot is one of the steps on the install instructions.

I decompile the dtb [meson-sm1-sei610.dtb] to dts any idea if I can edit some option on it ?
You don't need to decompile.this as the original source dts is available in the Linux git source code.

I want some graphical friendly image to test the performance of tvbox as mini pc
Have you used Armbian on other amlogic TV Boxes? I would never recommend using an amlogic TV Box as a mini pc. The graphical performance is poor. See the FAQ for TV boxes pined in this forum.

sd-card put it on a usb with sd-card reader and boot the tvbox
Why are you using USB? Does the box not have an SD card slot?
Also what method are you using to enable multiboot?

When I do the steps to put dtb file, edit extlinux.conf and rename properly u-bott to u-boot.ext
Please explain in more detail what you mean by these statements. "put dtb file" - there is no dtb file to put, just test the ones that are in the build and I would start with meson-sm1-sei610.dtb (which is the reference board for the s905x3 cpu). And what u-boot-* are you using?
Also have you run any other linux distribution on this box other than an official Armbian build downloaded from this site?

armbian-install
That isn't what you use for amlogic tv boxes. Follow the instructions linked from the download page: https://www.armbian.com/amlogic-s9xx-tv-box
-
@SuzSinclair Start by reading the first post of this thread, which has all the information you should need to get started.
-
What exact image are you running? Or better yet providing full logs with armbianmonitor -u
-
There is no gpu support in these amlogic tvbox builds.

@kingbecher This is now off topic for this thread, but you need to look at: https://www.armbian.com/amlogic-s9xx-tv-box
-
@kingbecher Why do you believe this isn't an Amlogic s905w? Those cpus are also cortex-a53. I see Amlogic references throughout the boot log you posted
-
I just downloaded both images available on the download page (minimal and xfce desktop) and both images had the install-aml.sh script in the /root directory.
As far as your current state, I only know of the windows amlogic tool as being the only available way to restore an android image. I know nothing about the Khadas tools you are trying to use, whether they will work on non-khadas boards, or if they can be used for what you are trying to do.

I did read the install instructions
I don't believe you did. As the install instructions linked to from the download page don't mention any of the things you tried (like armbian-config, armbian-install, nand-sata-install, etc). These are the instructions for the amlogic s9xx tv box builds (again these are linked from the download page):
https://forum.armbian.com/topic/33676-installation-instructions-for-tv-boxes-with-amlogic-cpus
These instructions tell you to run /root/install-aml.sh which is not what you said you did.
Now a further note is that ophub is a fork of Armbian. They do not contribute to Armbian development, do not participate in these forums and use the Armbian name without permission. So if you choose to use their software, you will need to discuss their software on their forums as we can't help you at all with ophub software.
Armbian boots from SD Card only manually via U-Boot, autoboot fails I installed it to eMMC(Amlogic S805X / gxl_p241_v1)

Current Armbian uses extlinux to load, not uboot scripts. I can't help you unless you are willing to follow my suggestions, which you seem to not want to do.
