Have you tried with SD-Card insert and manuall by press recovery button with tootbrush (trough audio port) --> than switch to bootloader or maybe sd-card boot direct the box has to have the sd-card already in slot to read it ID and some other stuff when bootloader has to read from it when boot first to recovery without SD-card than maybe some information missing (for the bootloader)

no but ilmich would post close ones , so i thing there will be open ones , but simple first if you havent problem with legacy armbian please dont do step 10 infront of step 1 bullseye debian 11 jammy ubuntu 22.04 yes you can nand first , yes correct sd card direct without install when bootloader 1 else you maybe need "jump start" from multitool

Yes correct --> NAND install = legacy armbian but you can boot latest Armbian from SD card or USB and ignore NAND complete Bootloader update only possible with male - male USB cable and rktool outside of the box there are 3 bootloader 1. open ones , SD-Card , USB and NAND boot allow , boot SD-CARD/USB also if there a OS in NAND or install Armbian legacy to nand 2. open ones , SD-Card USB Boot NAND boot allow but boot NAND first , there you can try the new point in Multitool "Jump start " that always redirect boot to SD-Card or install Armbian legacy to nand 3 close ones (rare ones), that the ones with probleme where you have to update bootloader Please !!! do the simple steps first , simple install legacy to nand and try it --> flash multitool on SD-card , put image file in the folder , start multitool , save android , clean nand and install(flash) armbian to nand or flash image file on sd-card and boot armbian legacy or newest we do need them only when all other failed , RK322x have some already inside armbian , many work with many diffirent setups and hardware already no need to do 10 step ahead please simple first !!!! please dont do this 10 steps ahead , i only want to say make a backup of android its good to have one also if corrupt .

please guys dont mix topix thanks @ego worker for post link @n3o that why i was wonder , kernel is a part of linux but some like Android sometime have that as a seperate partion or like rasberry you can update kernel only also you talk about bootloader upgrade and i am was confuse about what you want and your knowloge about flashing this box with linux no save android dts/dtb are config file for kernel--> tell kernel where to look at for lan or wich memory or clock to use for hdmi and so on i thinks easy step are on page 1 when your box is nand than follow the step with a legacy armbian image and have fun with this box

i can not hep by flash any other bootloader or make nand work with newer kernel , i dont understand why only kernel that make no sense , flash legay armbian and go on with the box , else put legacy image on the box and than show the log we can look why maybe the box dont boot full to armbian you can save also android because maybe we need dts/dtb or anything else and extract it out of image file

its better its a serial console , you can interact with linux over tty Serial connect (you have with this now with UART) , when multitool is running like in a ssh session ssh is a forwarde serial console over ip (more or less) when you run headless ( without gui) linux do the same a serial console is than also forwarde to HDMI (more or less) both have same source , both use same tools and programm Debian has philosophy "no close source" but your are able to install them when need Ubuntu is from start with close source software but that makes its sometime bigger and more complex both can use xcfe and other gui ( some of the image files already have xfce active) , when you only need server go with minimal

bookworm is Debian 12 jammy is Ubuntu 22.04

but now you can see why it is not work , and also interact with armbian without HDMI if HDMI doesnt work

looks like android has many false setting or broke

witch version do you want to install to nand ? newer Kernel can not work with nand there are many problems do you clean the nand befor flash armbian ? i got this screen every time after rk322x-config set in ENv.txt the parameter nand or nand-emmc , i have to remove it that only standart setting are load

ohave you done rk322x-config befor this happen? do you boot from sd-card or internal , do you sure about nand memory ?

looks like one of the new eMCP chip ( combination of emmc and ram ) it is working sometimes but you may be get problems https://de.ifixit.com/Teardown/Teardown+des+MacBook+Pro+13-Inch+mit+Funktionstasten+Ende+2016/72415 there is also meantion the wifi chip set Universal Scientific Industrial 339S025 Wi-Fi Modul --> first time i see something in a box like jock said some issue befor this box are made of the cheapest crap that they can finde and put that together

thank you , i also found also lwfinger https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723au there are also some AS mention also some fork but kernel 4.4 https://github.com/instantaphex/rtl8723as/tree/master

But RTL8723as is not 8723bs , you should not mix them . 8723as has definitive a diffirent firmware than bs https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jes/linux/+/rtl8xxxu-8188eu/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8xxxu/rtl8xxxu.h many of the RTL 8723xx are part of Kernel 5 , it should be detect by linux automaticly with the right firmware/driver combination have you check the chip by open the box ? maybe its a 8723ds (bs and ds have same format and pinout ) ,8723as has a diffirent board format so its very unusal that this board have another print extra for this 8723as format

now you have your answer thats not working because not compatible anyway

how do you know , do you open the box and remove the heatsink ? , maybe after all really a AmLogic maybe? we seen like sell as amlogic , print on die as rockchip and after all allwinner chip or stupid things like sell as rockchip print as amlogic and really is rockchip older model please show and tell us more

Let's look into the crystal ball, I see something, it could be that something is not right here and someone has problems with a rk322x box. hope you understand this little fun, it would be of course especially with such a time pressure of only a week surprising if we could really solve your problem with such a crystal ball, so let's start here. Describe your box in more detail, which multitool which problem from which point, why this solution not something else and much much more ....

sorry for late answer you have to try some LED-Config ( better name GPIO Config) settings inside rk322x-config tool and always reboot after every change, it should be support by kernel 5.x , else you can try legacy image ( with kernel 3.xx)

Thank You , ok switching things by adding a part of it

Thank you ok understandable wifi enable and GPIO state is clear for me also the SDIO part , i done some testing with Martin Blumestangl (xdarklight) on AMlogic 805 (nand and he help me with wifi enable , had a rtl8723bs with inverted signial) , but its not clear how a armbianENV can change /switch dtb things ok that was new for me that script do autodetect and that after config you have do start again the config sometimes

I have a more educational question , if the answer is too long or not appropriate please also PM me What does the right led-conf from rk322x-config have to do with the wlan chipset pins and why can't we separate them from the LED config ? How can the DTB be changed through the armbianENV.txt or must all information be present and these options are just a switch ? Can you maybe add in the rk322x config some information about the LED config so that we have a clue which wlan chip is activated (maybe an additional information page in the tool) ?

that a little unusal chip but linux compatible normally 8703 is part of 8xxxu standart linux libary https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jes/linux/+/rtl8xxxu-8188eu/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8xxxu/rtl8xxxu.h "line106 " but i found also some guys that have a driver at github for building yourself https://github.com/java-batista/rtl8723cs

it looks like you already open your box , please send also the Wifi chip code . Maybe your wifi chip is not support by linux

inside linux goto /boot open with nano or other editor armbianEnv.txt add the new line cpu-stability save and reboot

yes red are UART please use 3,3V on you ch341 adapter rx tx should be cross --> , tx form usb to rx from board , and rx from usb to tx from board , GND to GND you can not break anything with change of Baud rate , try both and you are fine the text that run automaticlly on UART is the serial log , when nothing or only some unreadable thing is show in putty please change baudrate than copy the text from putty or other tool and post here for jock , also ANdroid will produce a log on UART ( with some diffirence) many of this serial log also in android terminal demsg log i dont know the usb port order , for multitool over USB the port is normally irrelevant ,some box need normal USB , some the USB otg , some box hasnt the usb otg
