Can't figure out how to boot SD card on T95m box

[lands]

How do i boot and install armbian on a T95m tv box? i held the reset button, plugged in power and released after about 5 seconds but it keeps booting into android...

[lands]

update: i managed to get the sd card to boot into armbian, i tried installing it to eMMC and it seems to have copied everything but i can't boot from eMMC. the board draws a constant 327mA after the boot splash and i see nothing on the monitor, and i don't see the device on the network.

wiped emmc manually and tried installing. it says it copied but now i can't get it to boot from the SD card or eMMC, and i'm not getting a boot splash. what happened?

i think its bricked, i guess the eMMC had something important on it? how do i fix this?

You need to find an original android firmware for you box and restore it using the Amlogic burning tool.

can you help me with this? i can't find an image, and i can't figure out how to make the box show up on my pc. its a T95m android tv box, i don't know the manufacturer because the stickers are all worn off.

 

if i can't get this fixed by tomorrow then i'm throwing it in the garbage, if this isn't gonna work then i have no use for it.

 

yeah this thing is well and truly bricked, i'm tossing it
