@SteeMan When I insert the USB and boot up, then the device turns on, but stays on with a black screen without displaying or proceding to something else. Here is the list of the different dbt's that I have currently tried: meson-sm1-x96-max-plus.dtb X meson-sm1-x96-max-plus-q2.dtb X meson-sm1-x96-max-plus-q1.dtb X meson-sm1-x96-max-plus-oc.dtb X meson-sm1-x96-max-plus-ip1001m.dtb X meson-sm1-x96-max-plus-ip1001m-2.dtb X meson-sm1-x96-max-plus-100m.dtb X meson-sm1-x96-air.dtb X meson-sm1-x96-air-gbit.dtb X meson-sm1-ugoos-x3.dtb X meson-sm1-ugoos-x3-oc.dtb - meson-sm1-tx3-qz.dtb X meson-sm1-tx3-qz-oc.dtb - meson-sm1-tx3-bz.dtb X meson-sm1-tx3-bz-oc.dtb - meson-sm1-skyworth-lb2004-a4091.dtb X meson-sm1-sei610.dtb X meson-sm1-odroid-hc4.dtb X meson-sm1-odroid-c4.dtb X meson-sm1-khadas-vim3l.dtb X meson-sm1-hk1box-vontar-x3.dtb X meson-sm1-hk1box-vontar-x3-oc.dtb - meson-sm1-h96-max.dtb X meson-sm1-h96-max-x3.dtb - meson-sm1-h96-max-x3-oc.dtb - meson-sm1-bananapi-m5.dtb X meson-sm1-a95xf3-air.dtb - meson-sm1-a95xf3-air-gbit.dtb X meson-gxm-x92.dtb X meson-gxm-wetek-core2.dtb X meson-gxm-vega-s96.dtb X meson-gxm-tx9-pro.dtb X meson-gxm-tx8-max.dtb meson-gxm-t95z-plus.dtb meson-gxm-s912-libretech-pc.dtb meson-gxm-rbox-pro.dtb meson-gxm-q201.dtb meson-gxm-q200.dtb meson-gxm-q200-mod.dtb meson-gxm-phicomm-t1.dtb meson-gxm-octopus-planet.dtb meson-gxm-nexbox-a2.dtb meson-gxm-nexbox-a1.dtb meson-gxm-minix-neo-u9h.dtb meson-gxm-mecool-kiii-pro.dtb meson-gxm-khadas-vim2.dtb meson-gxm-fake-octopus-planet.dtb meson-gxm-beelink-gt1.dtb meson-gxl-s905x-vero4k.dtb meson-gxl-s905x-tx9.dtb meson-gxl-s905x-tbee.dtb meson-gxl-s905x-p212.dtb meson-gxl-s905x-nexbox-a95x.dtb meson-gxl-s905x-libretech-cc.dtb meson-gxl-s905x-libretech-cc-v2.dtb X meson-gxl-s905x-khadas-vim.dtb meson-gxl-s905x-hwacom-amazetv.dtb meson-gxl-s905x-b860h.dtb meson-gxl-s905w-x96-mini.dtb meson-gxl-s905w-tx3-mini.dtb meson-gxl-s905w-p281.dtb meson-gxl-s905w-jethome-jethub-j80.dtb meson-gxl-s905l3b-m302a.dtb meson-gxl-s905l2-x7-5g.dtb meson-gxl-s905l2-ipbs9505.dtb meson-gxl-s905d-vero4k-plus.dtb meson-gxl-s905d-sml5442tw.dtb meson-gxl-s905d-phicomm-n1.dtb meson-gxl-s905d-phicomm-n1-thresh.dtb meson-gxl-s905d-p231.dtb meson-gxl-s905d-p230.dtb meson-gxl-s905d-mecool-m8s-plus.dtb meson-gxl-s905d-mecool-kii-pro.dtb meson-gxl-s905d-mecool-ki-pro.dtb meson-gxl-s905d-mecool-ki-plus.dtb meson-gxl-s905d-libretech-pc.dtb meson-gxl-s805x-p241.dtb meson-gxl-s805x-libretech-ac.dtb meson-gxbb-wetek-play2.dtb meson-gxbb-wetek-hub.dtb meson-gxbb-vega-s95-telos.dtb meson-gxbb-vega-s95-pro.dtb meson-gxbb-vega-s95-meta.dtb meson-gxbb-p201.dtb meson-gxbb-p200.dtb meson-gxbb-odroidc2.dtb X meson-gxbb-nexbox-a95x.dtb meson-gxbb-nanopi-k2.dtb meson-gxbb-mxq-pro-plus.dtb meson-gxbb-minix-neo-u1.dtb meson-gxbb-mecool-kii-pro.dtb meson-gxbb-mecool-ki-plus.dtb meson-gxbb-kii-pro.dtb meson-gxbb-beelink-mini-mxiii.dtb meson-gxbb-beelink-mini-mx.dtb meson-g12b-ugoos-am6b1.dtb meson-g12b-ugoos-am6b-plus.dtb meson-g12b-ugoos-am6b-plus-oc.dtb meson-g12b-ugoos-am6.dtb meson-g12b-ugoos-am6-plus.dtb meson-g12b-s922x-khadas-vim3.dtb meson-g12b-radxa-zero2.dtb meson-g12b-odroid-n2.dtb meson-g12b-odroid-n2-plus.dtb X meson-g12b-gtking.dtb meson-g12b-gtking-pro.dtb meson-g12b-gtking-pro-rev_a.dtb meson-g12b-gtking-pro-rev_a-oc.dtb meson-g12b-gtking-pro-h.dtb meson-g12b-gtking-pro-h-oc.dtb meson-g12b-gtking-oc.dtb meson-g12b-gsking-x.dtb meson-g12b-dreambox-two.dtb meson-g12b-dreambox-one.dtb meson-g12b-a311d-khadas-vim3.dtb meson-g12a-x96-max.dtb meson-g12a-x96-max-rmii.dtb X meson-g12a-u200.dtb X meson-g12a-tanix-tx5max.dtb meson-g12a-sei510.dtb meson-g12a-s905l3a-m401a.dtb meson-g12a-s905l3a-e900v22c.dtb meson-g12a-s905l3a-cm311.dtb meson-g12a-radxa-zero.dtb meson-axg-s400.dtb X meson-axg-jethome-jethub-j100.dtb X meson-a1-ad401.dtb X I have tried to use the dbt's that are denoted with an X letter.

I haven’t been able to succes booting armbian. I have a suspicion that i am not able to multi-boot with a USB stick. I’ve tried different dbt’s and now I have opened the case. The board looks like it got an empty micro sd card module and USB. Is it possible to hardmod this board to boot armbian? Any help is appreciated! I have attached images of the board. 🙂

@SteeMan Thank you. I didn’t know that the repository was not associated with armbian nor this website. I’m open to use installation images from this site. @RMG Woah, big help with your post. I’ll try to follow it. I’ll try your partitioning method and different dbt files. In your experiments with did you use the reset toothpick method to boot from the sd/usb?

Hello, I am a owner of a Nokia streambox 8000. I have been trying to install Armbian on it, but without luck. The board specification of the tv box: Board: Amlogic S905X3 ARM Mali-G31-MP2 I have been using the images from here: (external link to site not affiliated with Armbian). I tried the S905X3 jammy and bullseye versions. The installation procedure that I have been trying out is as following: 1. Download armbian_s905x3 img from github repository releases. 2. Use balenaEtcher to burn the image into a USB stick. 3. Once burned; Open the BOOT drive. 4. Rename u-boot-s905x2-s922.bin to u-boot.ext 5. Edit /extlinux/extlinux.conf and change the .db path to use meson-sm1-sei610.dtb 6. Insert the USB into the tv box. 7. Hold reset with toothpick while powering it on. 8. Boots into recovery mode and selext reboot from bootloader. 9. It boots up again but the display stays black. If i boot it up without the reset with the USB inserted it just displays a black screen. If i remove the USB then it boots normally. I have tried to connect it to LAN to see if it was exposing an IP that I could ssh into, but there was nothing. I would love to get armbian running on the tv box. Am I doing something wrong here? By the way I’m open to both softmod and hardmod suggestions. Thanks!
