Well, I guess I would consider maintaining download links, documentation, etc. and other things you mention as a part of "support."
I think you are very lucky to have @SteeMan helping you. Which I would also consider "support", by the way... And also why I don't understand the slightly snide / passive aggressive comments like
directed toward people who are trying to help you.
As I said in my first post to you, I can empathize with your frustration, we have all been there. Please, really stop and consider that for a moment.
Because speaking to other members of the community (especially those rare and valuable people like SteeMan who so selflessly contribute their time and efforts to help others) is not going to be tolerated. Consider this an official warning from a Moderator. So maybe take a break or whatever, go for a walk, or at minimum think about how you are talking to people, especially those who are trying to help you, before making your next reply.
Cheers.

pomelo got a reaction from SteeMan in u-boot- files location.
I am very grateful that you replied to this topic.
I had to wait 24 hours to reply to this post because I am a new user and I can only post 1 post per day. I am using a MXQPRO_II which is the name I see when I boot into recovery. It has 1GB Ram and has S905X Chip. I managed to boot into CoreELEC and LibreELEC.
After going to the link you shared and using dd to write "Armbian_20.11_Arm-64_buster_current_5.9.8" I edited the extlinux.conf and selected the gxl212 dtb because in LibreELEC it worked.
So flashed the image in the SD card and edited extlinux.conf and tried to boot by typing "recovery update" on a terminal emulator on the box. It didn't work. I could enter recovery but that's it. If I select either "Reboot to System" or "Reboot to bootloader", I boot into the default Android OS.
Can you suggest what I should do to get linux up and running on the MXQPro_II box(S905x, 1GB RAM)? I am planning on installing SNORT and using it as an intrusion detection system if I managed to run linux on it.
P.S. I probably won't be able to reply before 24 hours because I am a new user.

I am posting because I can empathize with your frustration, so please take this in the way it is intended (a constructive hint, even if not directly related to the issue you are trying to solve).
So now perhaps you guys start to understand why TV Boxes are not officially supported. Because getting them to work can be "an adventure" to say the least.
I wish you both the best of luck, sorry I don't know any more specifics which might be directly relevant.
