Since the H616 is supposed to be very similar to H313 - try this image that @rafman made. Would be great to know if it works. Just load to SD and see if it boots.

Try this miniarch image. If it boots then you can port over the files needed to boot armbian.

You should also install a serial console to you UART port. You can see the UART pins (GND, TX0, RX0) top left corner of second picture.

@Nick A I have tried this image, still not work. I have bought ch340 to connect UART port, not working. I guest that UART port is disabled by OEM

Your TX0 and RX0 wires need to be crossed over.  TX0 red connects to RX0 and RX0 white connects to TX0.

crossed about TX0 and RX0,  also black screen.

@Nick A I have bought two h616 box . One is good, the other get brick.  I want to  mirror the h616 firmware to the bricked tvbox. 

Could you give some advice?

That's more android related. You would have to ask the XDA forums. You could make a backup using Armbian. But you would need to boot Armbian first.

 

Do you have the correct drivers install on windows for your CH340? Putty should be set to 115200 baud rate. To check if your UART is working try booting into android first. You should see the android u-boot messages. Then try the non secure boot armbian images.

Try also the bellow images:

Use Balena etcher to burn it to SD Card.

 

1>X96Q (Z1-Q1) Secure Boot : https://easyupload.io/l1v7bu

2> X96Q (Z1-Q1) Non Secure Boot : https://easyupload.io/clf6ny

 

Please let me know if you can boot.

 

If both images fail to boot then Use your working box, boot on Android go to play store and download the AIDA64 app

Post here screenshots of CPU, RAM,  OS  ,,, etc

 

Also try to identify your PMIC chip of your board  e.g  axp313a  (red circle)

The driver of CH340 is ok , because it's ok connecting to other tvbox

Hey All - just a FYI - your transpeed (non-secure-boot) image working on the T95Max (H618/4GB/32GB) - no wifi - but not on my list of needs.

 

Much faster than the Q1 - worth the extra $3 lol

 

Sorry, specifically, @Nick A - your image from github :)

I build 2 server images based on X96-Mate (h616)

 

Download these both images bellow.

 

https://easyupload.io/m/4yvmoy

 

Non Secure Boot Image: Armbian-unofficial_24.11.0-trunk_X96-H616_bookworm_current_6.6.44_non-sec.img.xz

Secure boot Image: Armbian-unofficial_24.11.0-trunk_X96-H616_bookworm_current_6.6.44_sec.img.xz

 

Please let me know if you can boot.

 

Your Tv-Box also seems to be similar with H96 Max H616

You can try Android  firmware from bellow link.

image name ( H616_user_H96MaxH616_10_20220804.1049.img )

 

Note: Try android images only to the bricked device, and use your serial adapter (after flashing) to see if any boot info is available.
