Hi guys, I'm sorry for the english but I'm italian. I'm a noob in Linux so I'm in search of someone that can help me. First of all, I don't know what is the better h3 armbian version to install in it. When i download the rtl8189es driver when i do "make" the console release error 2. Thanks a lot for the help.

I have one of those projectors, and I came to think about perhaps it could be possible to put Armbian on it. Mostly just for fun. I really doubt it would be an improvement to have Linux on a projector, with most likely missing hardware decoding of codecs and other things, rather than having the original Android. However, I haven't really found any information about the H713 chip in any of the different forums with Linux on Arm. Have any of you any information or think that it would be a fun project? If so, please respond.

Hi boys(and gilrz and others) , i have a question plz; Did Somebody manage to find a working img of armbian that match with the fake chinese X96Q the 1/8 gb with the H313 , because i tried every img that i find on the internet , and i did not manage to boot it correclty

Hello all. As many of you on this forum, I have a cheap TV box with the Allwinner H313 CPU and it seems that no Armbian ROM Available fits my device as all I get is a blank screen when trying to boot. ( I tried the Orange PI Zero 2 and Big Tree Tech's images which I Assume use the same CPU). Las week I saw this post by @BigZero and my TV box booted using the Mini Arch Image. My question is, from what I read all Armbian Images would'nt boot because the device tree is wrong. I tried changing the DTB file in the Armbian image with the DTB file from Mini Arch but that didn't seem to work as I still get a blank screen when…

Hi....I have an Allwinner H616 H96 Max Android Box Last Week, I found this box on a shelf and wanted to boot it but it was in a bootloop So I flashed the stock firmware H616Alwinner.img and it flashed but again wifi issue...Then I made a dumb decision and asked chatgpt and it said "T95 , TX6s all share the same SoC so flash One of their .img's" So I did It flashed but now no LED but stuck on T95 logo so I tried to flash the original H616Allwinner.img again..but now it says "Error - Download Boot 1 Failed" (Honestly I Don't know how it got Hard-Bricked But I think because of the T95 flash) Now I tried Sunxi-fel but Time out....Now it's totally Super-Bri…

Hello In advance I appreciate the support you can give me. I have 2 4gb / 32gb version computers, which I would like to give to some relatives who need it. Seeing on the net I saw that the version I needed for this equipment is: armbian-h6-tvbox-5.7-rc6.7z, which never started in the tv box, I want to assume that it could change some type of component, possibly it is a new revision, however if I start with the version: aw h6 tv buster current 5.1.27 xfce desktop, I think it is the last one, The main problem is that it does not turn off well, it begins to close all processes but in the end it always stays full on the shutdown logo, but if it can be restarted, the only way …

I recently got a 2 GB RAM / 16 GB T95 Max TV box. I have been playing with the Armbian images from: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/12162-single-armbian-image-for-rk-aml-aw-aarch64-armv8 Are these the best / most up-to-date pre-built Armbian images for my box? I noticed that thread has been closed. I am aware this box is not officially supported by the project. The first issue I have encountered, and I presume this could also well be a general bug in Armbian although I have not confirmed by trying it on my supported BananaPi M1 yet, is that I am unable to install the mate desktop under either of the focal images due to a package conflic…

Running Armbian 23.02.0-trunk Bullseye on Allwinner H6 tv box. Everything has been running perfectly, and both usb ports has been working. Suddenly the attached usb webcam can no longer be detected (not showing up in "lsusb"). Tried to unplug it and plug it in again, without any change. Everything is updated, so now sure how to proceed. Any ideas? Can I somehow restart the usb controller/service?

Any way to unbrick ? Anyhelp would be appreciated

Hi all. Bought this one recently Android 14 TV Box but the firmware is buggy. Can't open Chrome (crashes after 2 sec tops), can't install or update various apps, playstore and google are outdated (cannot update) and cannot customize home screen plus some other stuff. Tried to find the company that made this so I can download updated firmware or a custom one but no luck. Can anyone help out identify this or point me to a thread or website that has firmware for this box? I think I need to install new one or maybe reset. Tried using a firmware I found via a specific "rise from the ashes" app but it never starts (possibly incompatible rom). Thanks in advance for the…

Hi everyone, how's it going? I'm new to the forum and I'm having trouble getting my Chinese T95 mini TV box to run Linux. I want to switch it to a basic server, but I'm having problems booting it from the SD card. I'm using the sunxi-fel mode method in Linux. I tested Armbian_23.8.1_Orangepipc_jammy_current_6.1.47_minimal.img and others like Armbian_23.8.1_Orangepipc_jammy_current_6.1.47.img. I used the .bin file generated on this forum. Boot it using the method `sudo sunxi-fel -v -p uboot u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin` in the terminal. TV BOX Model: T95mini | R69 - EMCP V2.0 - H3 Allwinner. The screenshots below show the screen freezing. I'm a total …

So there is some conflicting naming between the name of the unit and the name on the board revision code. The name of the unit would suggest that it's a X96-Q clone, but the revision number suggests that it's a T95 mini. Like as seen in this video

Good morning I have big problem I have tv box Transpeed-H616_ I update with orange pi But i can't back to old firmware

I’m trying to install Armbian on this ODM STB. I’m using a TTL board with the following specifications: 8 GB eMMC, 1 GB RAM, and Android 10. I’ve already tried running the “reboot update” command via the terminal with root access, but I still can’t run the Armbian installation I placed on the USB-A drive. The version of Armbian I’m using is Armbian-unofficial_26.02.0-trunk_Mxqpro-h313_trixie_current_6.12.74_cinnamon_desktop.img.xz

Hi all, I am a (not so) proud owner of a Pendoo X6 PRO and i'm trying to convert it into a NAS but dealing with the android APKs on such old android version is a nightmare, so i'm opting for ARMbian but without any success so far... i've tried to use the images for the TX6 which supposedly has the same CPU but when i insert the SD card i just get a black screen, black 7 segments display and no ethernet cable activity... i'm attaching the hardware report hoping for a miracle, thank you to whoever will decide to spend some time guiding me on this project Device Info Report.txt

I just bought a qplus 4GB/64GB and installed the latest buster desktop image from @balbes150 (https://users.armbian.com/balbes150/aw-h6-tv/) with the mid-term intention of building some sort of headless sf2 midi synthesizer that can be connected to a usb midi keyboard with acceptable latency. I also had lying around an old minix x8-h plus (S812 based), but I was not able to make armbian work on it with an external usb soundcard for more than a few minutes (somehow it always crashed). The qplus works very nicely, although I had problems with lightdm on second boot and the greeter did not apper. I went for the nodm route for autologin and it seems to do the…

Hello, I have two of those TV box Android Q+ tv box, which apparently has H616 CPU in it, and I am trying for literally two days to install armbian or some other linux on it (I want to repurpose them to something usefull). I tried with all the images for orangepi zero 2, tanix t96s/96, basically all the images that I could imagine and could find, that apparently should boot from SD card. My procedure is that I press button inside of AV port, with SD card inserted, and pluging power in whilist holding reset button, and it newer boots into any armbian or other distro that I tried. I saw few people here managed to install linux on it, but I ran out of i…

Hi, I followed i12bretro's tutorial on installing armbian on the Tanix TX6 however I could not get it to boot at all. I have the TX6-P variant. Is it possible that, that is the reason why its not working? Are there any workarounds?

hello everyone, i am the owner of a tvbox "bqell b1 max" with cpu " CPU : allwinner h616 64bit quadcore" RAM : 4 gb ram ROM 64 gb rom i would like to install amrbian but i don't know which image to use . could you give me a hand?

Hi, can anybody tell me if the Armbian release by developer Awawa for the Tanix TX6 tv-box Allwinner H6 will work on mt T95 mini tv box? I'm asking because it works on the T95 max also. I am currently running the Inovato Quadra image on my T95 mini but it has a terribly annoying flaw, in that it changes the MAC address after every reboot, which as you can imagine is infuriating when you're trying to set up SSH/SFTP/VNC. I have a workaround by manually setting the IP address on the box to a static IP then setting up port forwarding in my router to that address but i seem to lose access via the local network yet via my external IP address it works fine. I als…

i need secure image x98h pro

Hi, i wanna go to armbian on the box, because the android webview's version is too old, don't have security updates (from 2019), and is so heavy for the ram. This is the specs: Model on case: MX9PRO 5G ONLY 8K Board Model: Hibox 1344_v1.0 (IK3160805) Date Model: 2020. 12. 08 RAM: physical 1G (On the android dectets 970 MB) SOC: Allwinner H313/H616 Device space: 8 GB

Hello community, I bought this TV box which happens to have fake specs, it seems it's really only 1GB RAM and 8GB of storage and comes with Android 7 instead of 12, however it has 2 USB ports and SD card reader, so I guess it could be flashed and repurposed for retro gaming or something like that. I think the SoC is Allwinner H3 (sun8iw7p1). It would be very much appreciated if someone could help me with these questions: 1) Where can I download or backup the stock firmware, yes the one with the fake specs? 2) Could it be flashed with some light version of Android TV or Google TV? 3) Can the memory be upgraded to 2 GB by replacing the RAM chips? Best …

This is just a FYI, tips for anyone who has a Q+/Q Plus and wants to get armbian running on it. For my Q+/Q Plus box (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MR7YVRM?ref_=pe_1811570_143775280_E_ReturnReceived_Asin_Title), I had to use a SD Card (which is fine since I had a micro SD Card, and a micro SD Card to SD Card convertor laying around) but it did successfully install to the internal MMC. I have tried multiple images of armbian, started with older ones from different internet sources, and none of them would boot from an usb drive. I used the unofficial armbian bullseye image from https://www.inovato.net/Armbian/ and it is working wel…

I had X96 Mate from long time, which is 4GB/32GB with H616 CPU, (It is almost same as Tanix TS6s) Tried many images from orange pi for same chip, none worked perfectly.

Hello! I noticed that x96q lpddr v1.3 is now an official (or something close to that) release, as it appears on the main page when searching. I used to use @sicxnull fork but now I have the impression that his changes were incorporated and he is the official maintainer of this device. I installed the Armbian 26.02 in an SD card and tested it in my X96Q lpddr v1.3 device and it works great! The problem is when I installed it to the internal eMMC, it will not boot anymore. I have the serial cable attached and I can see that very very early in the boot process u-boot cannot read from flash and the boot hangs. I know this has been discussed…

Tanix TX6 is H6 based Android TV Box and it can boot from SD cards prepared with PhoenixCard. It should be possible to make it work with Armbian too, right? I tried a recent Lite2 image, it didn't work, but it also didn't boot main Android, which means SD boot takes priority. I don't think it's a normal behavior for other Android TV boxes, but maybe it is for those with H6 boards.

on default android firmware, RAM detected 4GB, but if i boot armbian from sdcard, ram only detect 2GB. I use armbian 20.11 focal build, and tanix-tx6 dtb. please help how to solve, so ram can detect 3GB. Thanks, sorry about my english.

Hi, I have a T95 mini TV box that had an Allwinner H6 cpu. I know that basically there's no further/current development for these boxes but I think my problem is solvable. Basically I have my armbian os installed and I have internet access, but I can't access the box via any remote access methods like SSH or VNC. I have checked the armbian-config and it says SSH is enabled. I even verified that it's running on port 22 and it's active, but no matter what I try, I can't access it with my laptop running Windows 11. I have set up a static IP address in my router for the box, based off the MAC address, and I even set a static IP in the armbian os itself to mirro…

Hi, I have installed ubuntu image in the allwinner H616 processor. I have installed chromium browser. If i play full HD video, it is getting struck. I understand that browser is not using the hardware codec for the video playing and total load is going to CPU. Because of that full HD videos are not playing properly. I have checked browser setting but it is enabled. In my image verified the config files. But no clue found. Could any one support what need to checked in the image.

Hi : My problem is this. After manually updating my TV BOX , the serial number X88PROB-H313-D4-V1.0 is printed on the motherboard. The WiFi number AW859A has stopped working. I've tried everything, including reinstalling the firmware using PhoenixCard or PhoenixSuite. I downloaded and updated the T95-H616-A27.img and T95-H616-A29.img files, as well as the X88-PRO-S-H616 file. The installation was successful, but the device only displays the HDMI boot screen. Is there a solution? I would like to restore my device to Android 10 or 12 firmware, if possible. Is there a way to restart it if it's corrupted?

Hi Does anyone have any advice on how to get Armbian running on this device. I am comeplety new to Armbian. Is there a generic Allwinner H6 image that I need to modify? Any advice pls? Thanks

Apologies this isnt about Orange Pi Zero 2, but about a TV stick called Tronsmart Draco H3 which I have and am trying to repurpose into a light weight server with armbian. It obviously isnt well known, but I have tried a few H3 based builds, all of them boot fine, but I cant seem to get Wifi running. I tried Orange Pi PC and Orange Pi but they dont have Wifi at all I believe, so it didnt ask to setup wifi. I tried Orange Pi Zero 2+H3, but for some odd reason my keyboard didnt work on it, so I couldnt setup the users to be able to get further. I tried Nano Pi R1, but that didnt have HDMI, so my hdmi didnt work and I had no idea how to view the output …

Hello Armbian community! I would like to share an updated experiment with an old MX9 Android TV Box based on the Allwinner H3. There are older discussions in this forum about running Armbian on the MX9/H3, so I decided to revisit this hardware in 2026 using a much newer Armbian userspace and kernel. This is NOT officially supported Armbian hardware. This is a community experiment using the Orange Pi PC platform as the base.

Looking to try out the capabilties of those TV Boxes with linux. Wonder if any of those two boards would work out. Seems theres no official support for either but it someone has got one of those working, some help would be much appreaciated. The one from above is h313-emcp_v1.0 and the bottom one is a h20_221_v1.6_230523.

It is an h313 all winner box. But i can't point the RAM at all.

I'm planning on buying said Tv box in order to make it as a klipper host for a 3d printer since pi alternatives are too expensive nowadays.

Hi, Firstly sorry for the bad english(By Google Translator). I've been searching for a long time on how to use linux on my tv box, without success. I searched here on the forum in several topics, I didn't find anything related to the tx6s, the closest I came was the Orange-Pi Zero 2, which uses the same processor. In one of the topics, from 2020 if I'm not mistaken, a user warned that because it was the same processor or similar hardware, it wouldn't necessarily work. Even so I ventured out and tried in hopes of working, some versions of Armbian for OrangePi Z2 and other linux for ARM. With other ARM versions the tv box, boote…

Preexisting builds of Armbian won't run on my X96Q TV box because mine uses DDR3 instead of LPDDR3.

How do I change the DRAM (and possibly other) configuration U-Boot is built with? I'll be quite frank: Quite annoyed by this whole process. The build process for both Armbian and U-Boot has exhausted my patience and I'm very much not in the mood for digging through (often hard to find) documentation. (Like why is there no standard for adding a board?) Here's the UART boot log of the device:x…

Hello, I have a T95 Super with H2+/H3 processor. I've been successful running Armbian in the past on it and even writing to eMMC but am looking for the most updated build I can to burn to the eMMC. I have H3droid running on it after a VERY long install process and many board reburns to fix it. I noticed H3droid has an "Armbian" option in it's rescue menu but there don't seem to be any instructions on how to install with the menu/use it. What is the best new build for this setup? Thank you!

Hello, I have a Tanix TX6-A TV box and I’ve tried many Armbian builds, including the ones from https://armbian.com/boards/tanix-tx6 and ophub. However, the onboard Wi-Fi does not work on any of them. Has anyone found an Armbian image that works properly with the Tanix TX6-A, including Wi-Fi support?

Hello, I have a allwinner H3 set op box with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of Flash it came with Android installed. I used the Armbian images for Orange Pi PC+ and its working perfectly from the SD Card. I read that to be able to install to the internal nand flash I need to use the 3.4.113 kernel. So I installed Armbian with 3.4.113 kernel and tried the command nand-sata-install. Unfortunately it cannot find any device to install. Am I missing something? Could anyone help?

Does anyone know of a compatible image for the MXQ PRO 4K 5G TV Box with Allwinner H3, model Q44_V4.1_20210120? I've searched a lot and only found images compatible up to version V4.0.

Hello Armbian community, I want to share the experience I have had bringing Armbian to life on my own Q8 tablet with an Allwinner A33 SoC. This is not an official Armbian-supported device and it is not a universal image for every tablet sold as “Q8”. It is a community experiment based on one specific hardware revision. I am sharing it because these tablets are often discarded, even though they can still become useful Linux devices with patience, testing and good documentation. Why I started My goal was not to turn this tablet into a modern desktop computer. I wanted to reuse it as a small portable Linux machine for learning, lightweight entertainment, …

the latest community build for tanix tx6 is not booting up for some reason. but the ophub's build works fine.

I have installed Armbian 23 Linux on my TX6 ATV box. I downloaded the image from the SMLinux repo. It was a kernel 6 build with Armbian 23 Jammy version. I added the Oibaf PPA for the graphics driver, then I installed Ubuntu Desktop. Luckily, I got graphics acceleration with the GNOME desktop, but it was laggy ui. I confirmed graphics acceleration using the glxinfo command and also tried glxgears. It was working pretty smoothly, like 60 FPS, same as my monitor refresh rate. Well, everything was great, but then when I tried to use Firefox and watch YouTube, it was so choppy and laggy. YouTube UI took 2 minutes to load. …
