Hi, I'm new to the Armbian community, but I have used Linux before. Recently, I followed this tutorial: https://i12bretro.github.io/tutorials/0316.html to flash Armbian 20.10 Bullseye on what I suspect is a fake TX3 Mini. It has a red motherboard probably not a p-281 board, it could be a q201_N device as twrp said before installing Armbian. Anyways, Armbian detects 1 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage in it.

It most likely has either an S905X or S912 CPU since I used "u-boot-s905x-s912" during the process.

After flashing the SD card with Armbian, I was able to boot successfully.

I then installed Armbian using the terminal with "install.sh." After completing the installation, I decided to check the partitions using GParted. In the eMMC (internal storage), I noticed around 900 MB of unallocated space. I decided to add this to my root partition. 

To do that, I first moved the boot partition upwards and placed the unallocated space next to the root partition. However, when I tried to extend my root partition into the unallocated space, GParted froze. I canceled the process and reopened GParted, but this time it said it was unable to read the eMMC. I thought it might be a bug, so I rebooted, but after the reboot, the screen remained blank—nothing happened. When I insert the SD card, the screen flickers blank for 2 seconds and then shows "no signal" for 3 seconds.

Did I just kill the device, or is there any way to fix this? Please help!
