@iloveomv The location you posted is a fork of armbian. Their developers use the Armbian name without permission. We discourage people from posting links to that project in these forums as we can't help people with those builds as the code isn't armbian. Because they use the armbian name people get confused and think they are using armbian code and come here for support. Those developers do not participate in these forums, nor do they support armbian development. Feel free to PM the the information but direct followup questions should be directed to their support methods.

Temporary workaround is to add
drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=HDMI-A-1:edid/1920x1080.bin video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080-24@60
at the end of `append` in `extlinux.conf`.
Video signal now appears after kernel initializesThat makes sense, you at telling the kernel which display settings to use, instead of trying to discover the correct settings for the attached monitor. I'm curious how you figured this out? Is there some reference you used, that you could link here for others to read more about how/why this works?

128 GB SD card
That could be the problem. These old boxes generally were designed in an era when 16 to 32GB was the common/max. I personally wouldn't use a 128GB card.
-
Can you try the other SD card with the adb command?
-
OK now I understand. It is common to have incompatibilities between older TV boxes and SD cards.
You also said you:

Which sd card was that with? Obviously if the box can't read the one card, nothing is going to work with that card.

What I mean is that I have two Micro SD card, one with the "Armbian_23.02.2_Aml-s9xx-box_bullseye_current_6.1.11.img.xz" , I try the update app on Android but it says "No sd card".
That is yo be expected. As I said earlier:

You would need to create the empty aml_autoscript.zip file on this build manually.

Also tried flashing "Armbian_23.02.2_Aml-s9xx-box_bullseye_current_6.1.11.img.xz" into another SD card and the TV Box didnt even recognize the sd card. My computer does.
What do you mean by "TV Box doesn't recognize the SD card"? How is it different from before?
-
Another way of triggering the running of the aml_autoscript file is to issue a 'adb reboot update' command through adb.

There are different types of update apps, so when you run the update app on the old 5.9.0 build do you see the same interface as this how to article shows?

From the picture your box is a rebranded m8s pro+, as indicated by the board markings.
In googling I have found the following like that shows someone being successful at installing Armbian (http://www.galipe.net/guide-mecool-m8sproplus-armbian/). (article in French, I used Google translate)
So it should be possible.
While those instructions are old, they show that it should work.
-
While unlikely, it could be on the other side of the motherboard.
-
Have you opened the case and looked for one?

Wouldn't it be possible if I have installed Armbian on emmc and boot with Batocera on SD card/USB?
I don't know if this is possible or not since I don't know anything about what Batocera is.
Unless Batocera uses the same booting process as Armbian, it is unlikely.

@remolaan If your box has the s805x cpu (not s805 as your title indicates), you might have success following these instructions: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/17106-installation-instructions-for-tv-boxes-with-amlogic-cpus
Using the meson-gxl-s805x-p241.dtb or meson-gxl-s805x-libretech-ac.dtb
and the u-boot-s905x-s912 uboot file
I'm not aware on anyone having ever tried this, but it might work.

@Cesar Inacio Martins Have you tried to use armbian-config to configure your networking? From the armbianmonitor output it appears you have valid eth0 and wlan0 interfaces.

if HDMI is plugged there is no output after boot.
What do you mean by this? There is no output at all, or no output after boot?
What image are you using?
Have you tried different hdmi monitors and different hdmi cables?

@Juan Arias You have not provided any useful information about your problem. Lets start with, what box do you have? What image are you using? What instructions are you following? What steps have you done in preparing your sd card for booting the box? What dtb/uboot are you using? What errors/messages are you getting?
X96 Max Plus with S905x3 4Gb RAM and 64Gb ROM
in Amlogic CPU Boxes
