thank you for your answer again this is what i did: i had an android firmware with dualboot loader RK3288Loader_uboot_V2.17.02.bin and latest stock firmware on emmc i created multitool sd card and booted from it using multitool i cleared emmc and than updated loader on emmc after updating the loader the multitool became unbootable; i could not boot android either but i could boot the latest armbian distros after creation of respective sd cards what i want achieve is to get access to emmc for updating the loader / firmware from my perspective it looks like multitool clear emmc or update loader changed emmc setup making it inaccessable and yet enabling armbian boot after booting the latest armbian i cannot see emmc from linux i updated the dtb file following your advise on both: armbian and multitool sd cards without any effect i.e. armbian is still booting with the updated dtb and multitool is not booting i tried to use reset pin of foresee emmc chip to get into masked mode - without success = when on android i was able to get into this mode without any problems using rockchip android tools are there any tools available for linux you would recommend i could use to diagnose / get access to emmc? emmc has a set of instructions allowing to control its state as well as firmware update process do you know if i could create bootable sd with android from linux and connect the box to rockchip tools? any advise and help from you is very appreciate regards stan

thank you very much for your prompt answer here are my answers to your questions 1. i used armbian-config to update the loader - i cannot do it manually i.e. using dd since emmc is not visible under armbian 2. multitool is not booting after loader update nor additional options are visible at armbian-config loader update tool 3. here is a link to results of armbianmonitor -u: http://ix.io/2KJj 4. my box is Q8L 8G/2G XT201410154 ST see the link below q8 photo regards stan

hello I am new to armbian I am able to boot latest armbian from sd card but I cannot boot multitool anymore. I did update the loader from sd card. The emmc is not visible under latest armbian so I cannot clear it. I tried to boot the legacy (kernel 4.x) armbian- no success - the legacy armbian is not booting. I am unable to connect to the device with rockchip android tools anymore - it looks like the new loader disabled the connection. is there a way to enable mutlitool booting again? how can i make armbian to see emmc memory? how can i clear emmc? thank you for help Stan
