The problem is that the STB is a "custom made" for the vendor, so i can try to adapt and nothing more, with "the risk" to have it full paperweight (now is a paperweight with led ). i'll try my best to find something similar to burn

Hello Everyone, I tried the guide of @Devmfc but with no success. I own some custom STBs made from an european company for their business (they sell IPTV Solutions) and some of this stb's has been given to me as a "gift" because during the installation, they gave issue with HDMI signal. STB's has an S905X3, 2gb of ram and 16gb of emmc. I followed the guide on github but i had no luck, if i don't press the button it starts with the proprietary firmware (based on android, but without gui if not authorized by the local server at every reboot). if i press the recovery button, it starts on recovery everytime. I had the chanche to do a full backup by running TWRP, boot_emmc and bootloader included. I do believe that the bootloader may be different from the normal stb's and the boot from sd is blocked. For sure, the boot from USB doesn't work because no USB stick is recognized on twrp (even usb/sd card reader) attached a pic of the board, if somebody has some time to check the bootloader or has some suggestion, is very welcome.

Hello SteeMan, Thank you for the reply I've been throug the post you linked and did many test, especially the guide made by Devmfc, tried the steps as per instruction on Github but I can't still boot from SD. if i don't press the button it starts normally, if i do, recovery starts. I did a backup of boot_emmc and bootloader, may be useful to understand if they used on their product a different bootloader? unfortunately there's no serial pin so i can't debug from there. thanks

Hello Everyone, I'm an armbian user since 2020 and i'm having issues trying to run armbian on a custom TV box made from a company that sell iptv solutions for business. I've got this from one of the company manager as the device was failing HDMI and didn't want to bother themself with RMA, i've got few but really they trew out like 50 pcs. The device has a Amlogic s905x3 soc with 2gb Ram and 16gb memory. 1 usb 2.0 and 1 usb 3.0 otg, micro sd slot and many other component. wifi and bluetooth board and it's PoE. I know that S905X3 isn't supported very much but i've seen some posts from users succeding, so why don't try to let armbian run? Tested with this img: Armbian_24.2.0_amlogic_s905x3_jammy_5.15.141_server_2023.12.07.img.gz tried different dtb but nothing starts, i do believe the bootloader is locked and i can't find the old aml_autoscript.zip file to flash. it has the recovery button behind the AV and it works to boot on recovery only, and with TWRP i did a full backup of the system. Tried with terminal to "reboot update" but it stuck on boot logo. here some few details, if somebody is interested on giving me an hand i can disclose more details about the device.
