Sorry for my late reply (been very busy in the last couple of days). No, reboot does not work either: same freeze. Anyway it's a software issue and that's unfortunate for Armbian, because shut down and reboot for my device work flawlessly with CoreElec. I hope in a future improvement.

Thank you again for your reply. I am facing an issue though. When i try to shut down the device (either by issuing the poweroff comand or picking the "Exit" on screen menu item), the shut down process does not complete. I can see the dots spinning on the screen for about 5-10 seconds, but then they freeze and the device stays on... The only way to shut it down is to disconnect the device from the power supply, but, because of that, of course the hard drive can not reach the sleep mode as I can hear it is still spinning. Can I try something to solve this and have a clean power off?

Thank you. I have managed to successfully boot Armbian from SD card. Android is preserved. Now I am trying to install (move) Armbian (the "/root" partition) to an external USB drive. I run "armbian-config", then I pick "System" --> "Storage", but no "Install" (Copy the running Armbian system to another device) option is listied (according to the documentation here). I get only the following items: Download a fresh, official Armbian OS image and write it to a device Enable read only filesystem Enable Network filesystem (NFS) support etc... I have tried also in Terminal: "armbian-config --cmd STO001" but I get an error. In the instructions for TV boxes here it says: "running the shell script in the /root directory: install-aml.sh" But it refers to installing (moving) Armbian to the internal eMMC, if I am not mistaken. Is it possible to install it either to an external USB HDD or internal SATA HDD?

Hello everyone, I would like to test Armbian on my GS King-X (S-922X). I have prepared a SD Card by using Armbian Imager. Then I have followed the instructions here: modified the "armbi_boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf" file, specified: "fdt /dtb/amlogic/meson-meson-g12b-gsking-x.dtb"; copied "u-boot-s905x2-s922" as "u-boot.ext". Now before trying to make the device boot from the SD Card, I would like to know: If I do not install Armbian to the internal eMMC, will I be able to boot back to Android, by just removing the SD Card and powering off then back on the device? Later, if I decide to install Armbian to a USB drive or an internal SATA Hard-Drive, will I be able to boot back to Android, or it will modify the boot loader in a way that it will not be possible? Thank you in advance
