Not sure where you got those instructions from, but given that they are for an ancient kernel version, there is no way they are going to work with current builds.

First please read the FAQ item on Armbian TV Box support: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/16976-status-of-armbian-on-tv-boxes-please-read-first
Second, since you are not using armbian code (the location you downloaded from has no ties to armbian even though they use our name). You should ask support questions from where you downloaded your code.

Second, DTB files are kernel version specific since they are the mapping from the hardware to the kernel code. So you can't take a dtb from an old kernel and expect it to work on a new one (especially when the old kernel is a heavily patched/android based kernel and the new one is mainline - as they will have very different implementations of basic support for these boards).

I should have added a comment to this thread that I created a fix for this issue and it was pushed to mainline a few days ago.

Worked for me:
[ o.k. ] U-Boot file name [ linux-u-boot-edge-nanopiduo_23.02.0-trunk_armhf.deb ] [ o.k. ] Kernel file name [ linux-image-edge-sunxi_23.02.0-trunk_armhf.deb ] [ o.k. ] Runtime [ 31:31 min ] [ o.k. ] Repeat Build Options [ ./compile.sh BOARD=nanopiduo BRANCH=edge RELEASE=jammy BUILD_MINIMAL=no BUILD_DESKTOP=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no COMPRESS_OUTPUTIMAGE=sha,gpg,img ]
-
This worked for me using current master branch:
sudo ./compile.sh BOARD=nanopiduo BRANCH=current RELEASE=jammy BUILD_MINIMAL=no BUILD_DESKTOP=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no COMPRESS_OUTPUTIMAGE=sha,gpg,img

You mean that I need to pass all those variables from this chapter to not have UI popup
If you were to run this on a normal environment (it is designed to run on a PC (x86) running Ubuntu Jammy) you would see that at the end of the UI it prints out the command line equivalent of what you just entered through the UI, So the UI is only invoked if a particular parameter isn't passed on the command line. Experiment around and see how this works.

Are you sure? All references I can find for this box in a Google search say it would have an Allwinner h313 CPU.

I am using 'Armbian_22.11.0-trunk_Aml-s9xx-box_kinetic_edge_6.0.9_xfce_desktop.img.xz' in https://github.com/armbian/community
If you are still using this image, there is a script in /root that is used to copy the image to emmc. (It is part of the instructions for that build posted here: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/17106-installation-instructions-for-tv-boxes-with-amlogic-cpus ) It brute forces some of the stuff you and hexdump have been discussing. But as far as what and how to copy over, this can be a guide.

Please provide the minimum basic information about what you are doing. We can't guess your environment. What build are you trying to install, what instructions are you following, what dtb file are you using?

balenaEtcher is the recommended tool for making SD cards and it also has the capability to clone one. It is available for all platforms.

I'm closing this topic, as it was determined the original poster wasn't using Armbian and the followup posts are therefore not relevant.

moved this discussion to a new thread
-
@SonicXiang Did the upgrade work (is the new kerkel installed)? Or is the box left unbootable?
-
@SonicXiang It should work. I haven't tested a kernel upgrade yet, but if it doesn't work, that would be a bug that needs to be fixed.

Second, of the three major TV Box CPU families (Rockchip, Amlogic and Allwinner) Allwinner has the least support within the community. There are a couple of allwinner knowledgeable people who occassionally post in this sub-forum, but there is little effort towards TV Boxes on allwinner cpus.
