I carved u-boot out of the Jammy image from Google Drive (Orangepizero3_1.0.0_ubuntu_jammy_server_linux6.1.31.7z) and applied it to the bookworm image (along with copying the dtb, as instructed) and now it's booting. I updated the GitHub issue with my test results. I'll attach it here so that people don't have to download a 575MB image from Google Drive just to carve it (gunzip it first). u-boot-jammy.bin.gz

Yes, I've followed the instructions: $ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/ $ sudo cp sun50i-h616-orangepi-zero3-4gb.dtb /mnt/boot/dtb/allwinner/sun50i-h616-orangepi-zero3.dtb $ sudo dd bs=1k seek=8 if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl-opizero3-4gb.bin of=/dev/sda 631+1 records in 631+1 records out 646523 bytes (647 kB, 631 KiB) copied, 0.156442 s, 4.1 MB/s Unfortunately, it does not boot beyond "Trying to boot from MMC1" which makes me believe that there is probably an issue with the u-boot/SPL for the 4GB board.

@ag123 can you post the full bootlog for the armbian release from GitHub (23.08)? I tried both bookworm and jammy with several micro SD cards (including name brands like Samsung) and my board (4GB model) never gets further than the following: U-Boot SPL 2021.07-armbian (Jul 12 2023 - 10:04:49 +0000) DRAM: 4096 MiB Trying to boot from MMC1 * Armbian_23.08.0-trunk_Orangepizero3_bookworm_current_6.1.31-1GB-2GB.img.xz (sha256: 6c58ad6122fd62769e1063164df3cdf004af9d498f69db3f1c86094cc749a375) * Armbian_23.08.0-trunk_Orangepizero3_jammy_current_6.1.31-1GB-2GB.img.xz (sha256: 7a794393ef8a5fedc73c4cc977cc5f29660ba106f17d0a6c2322a926f88e91fe) And yes, I did copy the 4GB dtb and u-boot as instructed. I know this forum is not the place to ask for support for unofficial Armbian forks, but I'm just curious if you encountered any such issues. If I remove the micro SD card entirely, the board boots some kind of Android from the SPI: U-Boot SPL 2021.07-orangepi (Jul 15 2023 - 15:02:23 +0800) DRAM: 4096 MiB Trying to boot from MMC1 [53]HELLO!
