SteeMan Posted January 25, 2023 Posted January 25, 2023 Please tell us what you have done. You have provided no information for us to help you debug your issue. What build are you using, what steps have you done to get to the point you mentioned?
Patrick Villain Posted January 25, 2023 Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) So I could't reply with the other account so I created a new one. I used that build here: A source that uses Armbians name without permission, does not participate in its development process and confuses users into thinking they get support from official Armbian while in the same way wasting their ressources which such. (Armbian_23.02.0_amlogic_s912_jammy_6.1.6_server_2023.01.18 and Armbian_23.02.0_amlogic_s912_jammy_5.15.88_server_2023.01.18) and flashed it to the sdcard with etcher 1. Copied the dtb file to root and renamed it to dtb.img (as mentioned in https://github.com/ophub/amlogic-s9xxx-armbian/blob/main/build-armbian/documents/amlogic_model_database.md) 2. Renamed and updated the extlinux.configfile to: label Armbian kernel /zImage initrd /uInitrd fdt /dtb/amlogic/meson-gxm-octopus-planet.dtb append root=UUID=9c561af2-0348-4082-af79-a30f08846abd rootflags=data=writeback rw rootfstype=ext4 console=ttyAML0,115200n8 console=tty0 no_console_suspend consoleblank=0 fsck.fix=yes fsck.repair=yes net.ifnames=0 loglevel=1 voutmode=hdmi disablehpd=false overscan=100 sdrmode=auto 3. Updated the uEnv.txt to: LINUX=/zImage INITRD=/uInitrd FDT=/dtb/amlogic/meson-gxm-octopus-planet.dtb APPEND=root=UUID=9c561af2-0348-4082-af79-a30f08846abd rootflags=data=writeback rw rootfstype=ext4 console=ttyAML0,115200n8 console=tty0 no_console_suspend consoleblank=0 fsck.fix=yes fsck.repair=yes net.ifnames=0 cgroup_enable=cpuset cgroup_memory=1 cgroup_enable=memory swapaccount=1 3. Renamed the u-boot-zyxq.bin to u-boot.ext 4. Added SD-Card to the box 5. Tried to run an update in Android with the updater App, but there I had always an error like File not found and with select there was nothing to select 6. Removed power cable, pressed the reset button and pluged it in back and was waiting till I was in android recovery then i released the reset button Edited January 25, 2023 by Werner Link removed + explanation
SteeMan Posted January 25, 2023 Posted January 25, 2023 More specifically, you downloaded from a site that is not Armbian. They are a fork of armbian, but continue to use the Armbian name without permission. They do not participate in these forums. There is no way we can help you since you aren't using Armbian, you will need to go to the location you downloaded your build from and get help there.
cleex Posted January 25, 2023 Posted January 25, 2023 So I tried the official Armbian version as described here in the thread, I have an Alfawise H96 pro + amlogic s912 Box with blue PCB, android 7 and ddr3 3gb ram. 1. I downloaded the following image: https://github.com/armbian/community/releases/download/202304/Armbian_23.02.0-trunk_Aml-s9xx-box_lunar_edge_6.2.0-rc3.img.xz#aml-s9xx-box 2. Write the image in a SD Card with BalenaEtcher 3. I changed the boot configuration in the extlinux.conf as follow: LABEL Armbian LINUX /uImage INITRD /uInitrd FDT /dtb/amlogic/meson-gxm-q200.dtb append root=UUID=da0b20c3-cbcf-4b30-a157-cecc5d4d9a53 rootflags=data=writeback console=ttyAML0,115200n8 console=tty0 rw no_console_suspend consoleblank=0 fsck.fix=yes fsck.repair=yes net.ifnames=0 splash plymouth.ignore-serial-consoles 4. I copied the u-boot-s905x-s912 and changed the name to u-boot.ext 5. Put the sd card in the tv box, press and hold the reset button and plug in the power connector 6. Android Recovery starts How can I boot the SD card?
SteeMan Posted January 25, 2023 Posted January 25, 2023 Generally this means that you are holding the reset button too long. When powered with the reset button pressed it should after a few seconds 'reboot' at that time you can release it. If you continue to hold for an extended period of time it will go to the android recovery.
