R-TV Box S10 – I realize this is an older topic, but I’m trying to fix an S10 box for an old colleague.. After an update, it no longer boots, stuck on the startup animation, and won’t load Android. I can’t seem to find any firmware download. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for sharing your installation. Really, the Rockship in TV BOX seems the easier Armbian installations that I already tested, although, I use a TVBOX with ab AMLOGIC S912.

Has anyone been able to use the remote control that comes with the tv bos under Armbian? Does it reqire additional driver(s)? I want to run Kodi (or any better mediacenter) under Armbian.

@Ducdanh Nguyen I don’t write the mainline linux kernel or patches. You should ask the sunxi developers or Piotr Oniszczuk aka warpme. Allwinner does not support open source mainline Linux. Most of the work is reversed engineered by a very few smart people that give their free time to Linux community. Android uses a very old modified Linux kernel so it takes a lot of work to update drivers. Sometimes these drivers have no source code or documentation. tv boxes are a whole different beast. Components are cheap. If you buy the same model tv box they might have different wifi, memory, emmc chips and sometimes the cpu is not allwinner at all. if you want to have a perfect running tv box you’ll need to learn how to tweak the dts and edit the Linux kernel source code. https://oftc.catirclogs.org/linux-sunxi/2025-08-24 https://github.com/warpme

Sorry for being late to the party on this, but I can confirm that rockchip is better supported than Amlogic. My old Android 7 1GB/4GB MXQ TV box works great out of the box with the latest build after installing the step-nand loader.This is a rockchip 32xx build, great menu-driven setup tools, literally working within 15 minutes. Kudos to Jock and co. This is a hobby for me, I'm more interested in learning Linux than having a home server doing real work, I thought about SBCs but pi looked like a boy scout project and other SBCs too expensive with features I don't need. Modern MXQ boxes are cheap and my online vendor has a great return policy, so why not? I just ordered an updated box with 4GB ROM for $10. Running with a class 10 64GB SD card, this will be another fun opportunity. Take care!

Aliexpress item: https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/1005006249858881.html Extracted dtb and dts files attached. It boots Warpme/miniarch image for X96 with LPDDR3 RAM https://github.com/warpme/miniarch/releases/download/f3b14fbae071/MiniArch-20240715-6.16.1-board-h313.x96_q_lpddr3-SD-Image.img.xz However internal Ethernet port is silent. It can work through USB->ETH adapter though. Any Idea on how to make Ethernet working? sun50.dtb sun50.dts

@Nick AHi,I bought another model of TV box (with the same CPU and eMCP chip model, but a different Wi-Fi chip), and it has the same issue. Could you help me figure out how to solve this? Thank you!

I'm trying to install Armbian on the Tanix Tx1 Soc Allwinner H313 Mini TV Box, but this box doesn't have an SD card slot. How do I install Armbian on this box without an SD card?

Hi everyone. What I would like to do is install Armbian on the X98H TV box. I tried many ways to do that, but I was not successful. If you know how to install Armbian on it, plz suggest to me Thanks

They did. Or at least the kernel is built, and this was reported (https://linux-arm-kernel.infradead.narkive.com/WmgM10BC/rfc-v1-0-5-arm-initial-support-for-marvell-armada-1500) . This family of chipset includes the original Google TV and some others.

hey @Nick A i have problem when connecting to the box throught adb connect, i have installed every dependencies before (i won't show ouput bc too long but it succesed) here is what i tried: i am using a virtual machine to do this work my uncle tried reset the prop on the tv box(mxq pro 4k 5g) (he's an android expert):

Can you try if any of the H3 images from libre-elec would get you video acceleration? https://libreelec.tv/downloads/allwinner/ i once tried the orange pi pc image in my orange pi zero lts (h3) and it worked

@Nick A could you help me get the dram settings??? My box don't have root access, on aida64, it says my box has root, but the tv info (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.saksham.developer.tvinfo&hl=en&pli=1) says it is not rooted?

Okay that detects 1.5gb at spl, but then detects 2gb at uboot, just like the first patch I tried. Maybe something to do with me currently using the U-Boot DTB from X96-q, a 2gb device? I did try a different config for a different tv box as well (transpeed), but that had the same result.

@Nick A I wonder why android loading stops when the sd card with linux is in the tv box. And when loading the sd card, as I wrote earlier, I see the message "U-Boot SPL 2024.01-armbian-2024.01-S866c-P6135-Ha9af-V6d37-Bda0a-R448a (Sep 19 2024 - 19:48:11 -0400) This DRAM setup is currently not supported. resetting ... ". I am not a super pro user and I don’t know some things. I was looking for the usual answer myself, but after 7 days of searching and popping up I decided to write here. Maybe this will help me in my situation. All the answers I found are for TV boxes v1.3, v5.1 v3.0. No one with v4.0 has seen how I felt about the version and how the boxes and components can differ greatly.

Goodmorning, I have a Q plus TV Box with the chip Allwinner H616 v2.0 in configuration RAM: 4GB eMMC: 64GB . This is what is written on the box, but not completely trusted because was said also H6, instead of H616 that's actually is. These are some images of the pcb. I have tried to flash some random armbian, but nothing seems to work. From ttl serial this is a part of log, and I don't know why is found only 1GB of DRAM. https://i.ibb.co/1GSbZdRg/20250813-083105.jpg https://i.ibb.co/rG4zZ0s6/20250813-083122.jpg Which armbian you suggest to try out? If I start with pressing "UBOOT" button nothing appears on Serial console.

hello everyone! I bought this tv box..https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009346784515.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.11.79e81802pgNRxu but after starting it was not possible to log in to googleplay even though I had a connection via wifi or ethernet. the preinstalled version for applications was Aptoide TV..through it I wanted to update all applications (youtube, netflix, etc.) I managed to do that but no application could be started. the original file manager did not show the internal memory or USB disk or SD card until I managed to download ES file manager through aptoide and it showed my flash disk I installed HW info device and there I found out that it was an RK3528 chip. so I wanted to flash the firmware and I used a rom image for H96max with the same parameters. the firmware upgrade went OK but the device is dead. I can't find the correct firmware. I'm attaching a photo--- maybe someone will recognize the board and identify which rom-img should be correct. the seller can't help me in any way.

Hello, I have x96q2 H313 2/16 board v4.0 ram k4b2g0446c hyh9 and apx305. I tried all img, and no one worked on my TV box. Mb u can help me, how I can build img for my board? I need sd card version armbian or arch Linux (not emmc installation)

Hi I think that a boot on this TV box it should be not so hard, I never tested an Allwiner. Please, start reading some advices from this post from 2023: once that h313, probably follows at the same procedure of the H61X ... I hope to help you ccs

(sorry for bad english) i'm looking to boot in an armbian bookworm by sicxnull on my mxq pro 4k 5g, i checked the aida64, it showed the allwinner h313, i tried the toothpick method to the recovery menu (which have a boot option?) i'm novice to android 😕 by the way here are the images of the tv box pcb:

I have an old and weak mxq pro 4k TV box (fake amlogic s905w), rk3228a checked, sv6051p wifi. I recorded the desired version on the micro sd via the multiboot.img adapter and it worked but did not respond to the remote control, I checked the remote for robotics, recorded libre elec and booted from it without multiboot and it even worked on wi-fi and the remote reacted, I replaced the dtb file and booted from the multiube but it no longer worked I thought that dtb was capricious and decided to replace only part of the it_receiver code in dts format and converted it and recorded it via dd on Linux, but this time the eumultool worked but the remote control did not respond again. I do not know why it stopped turning on on android 7.1.2, but I know for sure that after downloading minecraft or similar games, it will boot up and you can go to recovery, I tried two firmware for TV box in the format.zip but there was a message map location failed like I recorded the desired version on the micro sd via the multiboot.img adapter and it worked but did not respond to the remote control, I checked the remote for robotics, recorded libre elec and booted from it without multiboot and it even worked on wi-fi and the remote reacted, I replaced the dtb file and booted from the multiube but it no longer worked I thought that dtb was capricious and decided to replace only part of the it_receiver code in dts format and converted it and recorded it via dd on Linux, but this time the eumultool worked but the remote control did not respond again.

I have a Odroid C2 that was being used as a TV box with Coreelec, and has now been retired due to upgrade. I want to repurpose the C2 for a completely different role, so I am trying to install Armbian in it. I downloaded the Armbian image from here and followed the official install instructions, but the C2 refuses to boot. The red light turns on when powered but nothing more happens, no other lights, no screen, nothing. Coreelec was booting with no issue, so it must be something I'm setting wrong. Just in case I tried a different SD card and two different images, Bookworm minimal (the one I'm interested in) and Ubuntu Noble XFCE (just to test). Same result. Once I boot I let the C2 on for some minuts, as per the inatructions, no change at all. I am also using usbimager, again as per instructions. Anyone has any idea what I could try to see if I can boot Armbian in my C2?

Hi. Looking for help. I have uploaded Armbian v6.12 Desktop Ubuntu to a card and run on my device. You can see in the screenshot (video of the boot here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_1dm1rP33tbYISPUsta7nZV1eKPy3Plq/view?usp=drive_link) that some rubbish is displayed. I would also add that the device is sending a signal that is only displayed by the TV. No other monitor in the house is able to display anything that is sent from the device. This is even stranger, as when I upload the old ubuntu 18.04 to the same card, the device connected under any display displays my desktop. Any suggestions or suggestions? Maybe an older version? I want to make myself a RetroPi from the device, but that requires something newer than the old ubuntu.

My best guess is that you have an Android install on your eMMC (Android uses those two boot partitions as part of how it installs new versions, while still keeping the old). How Android formats a disk is generally somewhat custom and often the partitions aren't readable by mainline uboot / mainline linux. (It should be a GPT partition table, but for some reason I haven't dug into, isn't recognized by mainline). I deal with these things on Android TV Boxes all the time. You should be able to just format the entire emmc for your use as what is on their isn't useful to you. However, I'm not familiar with this specific board and what the specifics of its booting process is. So there is a chance that something on the eMMC is required for a successful boot.
