I have purchased the following board, named H20 from AliExpress: https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005005623753864.html I could boot the multitool for RK322x by holding the reset button, then selecting boot menu from Android's bootloader. After installing an armbian release, the board does no longer boot, and a red LED turns on immediately after giving power. I would like to try other Armbian images, but, I am no longer able to boot the multitool as I no longer have access to the Android bootloader, which I assume has been deleted by flashing the new ROM. Also, any attempt at booting the multitool on an SD card are failing. Does the SD card have priority over the EMMC on this model? Is there any way I can recover this board. I do not have a UART to usb dongle on hand, so I cannot provide you with any logs unfortunately. If there are any simple steps I could follow to bring the board back to life, and reattempt an install, please let me know. I would also like to point out that I can find the original ROM on xda, though I haven't tried it yet. I have left attached two pictures of the board, if they can be of any help.

I tried with the Sunvell R69 image but It didn't boot. No sings of life. Unfortunately, without the TTL-to-USB adapter on hand (I'd have to buy one or see if I can borrow it from a friend) I can't really tell you why it is not starting up. My board is identical to the one this other user had (mine has a slightly different branding but the specs and the version on the pcb match):

Hi, thank you for all the helpful details. I do not know how but today I managed to get the multitool working (it wasn't booting earlier, but I was on another monitor, so it might have been an issue on my side). After I got the multitool I followed the installation guide for Nand and it worked flawlessly. Now I have a legacy armbian image booting from nand! Thank you guys for all your effort and the community support for these kind of boards! I do also have a MXQ pro 4k 5g with an Allwinner H3 but I guess that will be much more troublesome to get working compared to a rockchip.

Hi, I've got this old board from 2015/2016 with an rk3229. It is running Android 6 with a Linux kernel version 3.x compiled for the rk322x family. The board is branded as Leelbox Q1 but on the PCB it is marked as an MXQ-Q1. I have not found much info about either on this forum. I've tried the multitool image, along with three or four minimal armbian images (both current, legacy and even some builds from 2019) but nothing seems to boot. When I use the multitool image I think I get the furthest, as the ethernet lights turn on but then I get no output on my screen. I was wondering if some of you have experience with this kind of board or have any idea of what steps I should follow to build by own image. I can get into the android's recovery boot loader, so I can presumably flash an image with adb (I have also seen people use rockchip specific software for this, but I have no clue where to start). I do also have root access to android, so I can retrieve files easily if necessary. I'll leave attached two pictures of the front and back of the board to see if any of you have a similar hardware (possibly with a different branding).
