Allwinner CPU Boxes

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 …

Can I enable wifi (SV6256P) in H616 DDR3 Tv box https://github.com/paolosabatino/ssv6x5x/tree/master or build from old kernel 4.4.x

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…

Stock rom of this tv stick is so bad that it lags even with just watching youtube and it wrote it can play 4k. So I need armbian/any other linux distro for this tv stick.

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 …

Q-box/MBOX android tv box current system firmware: Android 9 kernel version: 4.9.118 build: 2.1.17 specs: - ARM Cortex-A53 - r0p4 - Mali-T720 - petrel_p1 - Allwinner - sun50iw6p1

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

Seeing how things on this forum have started moving towards developing a functional version of armbian for the H618 based TV boxes, would it be a smart idea to use one as a Raspberry Pi replacement for any DIY projects related to portable PC builds?

i need secure image x98h pro

Hello. I am currently planning on installing the precompiled Armbian image for T95 TV boxes running H616 (taken from https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=952835&view=findpost&p=97197753) on a TV box branded as "IconBIT Movie UNO", using a microSD card. The dissection of the case showed that the CPU is an Allwinner H313, and, upon thorough Googling, I have found out that X96Q is the only known TV box board with an H313. My question is, is it actually possible to run a T95 Armbian image on an X96Q-like? Any help and/or advice would be appreciated.

How do install armbian in my TX98 TV BOX Processor:Allwinner H313 I bought it on tiktok shop

If I disable the desktop then the wifi does not connect on reboot. I tried setting the static IP with armbian-config but it doesn't stick on reboots. Any idea's what I am doing wrong?

im super new to armbian and im really struggling to get the mx10pro h6 allwinner to work with armbian, ive followed the instructions and installed the .img for armbian and then the uboot .img. im happy to pay for this help if someone can get this working for me thanks !

I managed to extract the correct dtb for this tvbox from Android, I converted it the DTS and it is all well readable but now I am stuck in doubts. I use Armbian with the dtb "sun50i-h6-tanix-tx6.dtb" for the Tanix TX6, but unfortunately it is not fully compatible with this tvbox. I have exaggeratedly high SoC temperature measurements compared to what I thermally detect on the cpu, and only two USB ports out of the existing four work. By compiling the image with these patches I was able to get the four usb ports and also the dual color LEDs working, but unfortunately they are stopped at an outdated kernel version inside Buster, and I would like to stay more up to …

Preexisting builds of Armbian won't run on my X96Q TV box because mine uses DDR3 instead of LPDDR3. U-Boot SPL 2024.01_armbian-2024.01-S866c-P4a40-H8869-Vad24-Bbf55-R448a (Nov 15 2025 - 02:36:36 +0000) This DRAM setup is currently not supported. 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…

I'm trying to install Armbian on the Tanix Tx1 Soc Allwinner H313 Mini TV Box, but this box doesn't have an SD card slot. How do I install Armbian on this box without an SD card?

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.

Hello, I have been looking for a cheap linux box and stumbled upon the T95mini, this forum and many other blog sites. I know TV Boxes especially Allwinner based ones are not supported and a lone member of this community (and maybe others) have brought them along to where they are now. My question is, I happen to have a T95mini with a 16GB emmc that boots just fine from the SD card, but when I try to run the nand-sata-install script, it is not detecting my emmc module. The section of the script that checks for the module only finds the sd card /dev/mcblk0 /dev/mmcblk0p1 I opened it up to make sure there was an emmc module in there and there…

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 everyone, I've got a Q+ device which comes with a "RTL8821CS" wifi/bt module. This device is similar to Tanix TX6 with only a different wifi module.

Hi all. Bought this one recently Android 14 TV Box but the firmware is buggy.

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…

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. …

Hello, I have a MXQ Pro 5G 4K TV Box with Allwinner H616 and the motherboard IK316-EMCP_V4.1. I am looking for a server (CLI only) version of the Armbian image for this device. The previously shared Google Drive links in this topic are no longer working. Could someone please provide a new download link (Google Drive, MEGA, etc.) for the latest server image compatible with my device? If there are any specific instructions for booting or the correct DTB file, please let me know. Thank you very much!

Hey everyone! I have a TV Box labeled “In Xplus”, running on an Allwinner H313 (most likely a generic/rebranded device). I was able to install Linux on it using Armbian 26.2.0-trunk (Trixie). The system boots normally, but I’m facing network issues: - Wi-Fi is not working (no interface detected) - Ethernet is also not working (only interface is lo) So basically, the system runs fine, but I have no network connectivity at all. My questions: - Is this a current limitation of Armbian support for the H313? - Is there any specific DTB or patch that could fix Wi-Fi/Ethernet? - Is there a more stable Armbian version or another distro with better …

Hey everyone, I’ve cross-flashed a MXQ 4K 5G (Allwinner sun8iw7p1 / H3) firmware onto a different H3-based TV box. Everything works surprisingly well, except for the IR Power-On/Wakeup. Since the hardware is different, my box's IR receiver is sending a scancode that the MXQ firmware doesn't recognize as the "Wakeup" key. Because this is an Allwinner (sunxi) build and not Rockchip, I know I can't just edit a remote.conf file in the system partition to fix the cold-boot power button. My questions: Where exactly is the Hardcoded IR Wakeup/Power-on scancode stored in these Phoenix-style Allwinner images? Is it buried in the Device Tree Blob (DTB)…

Hey i am looking for a suitable armbian distro for my tv box with the allwinner h313, 2gb ram and 8bg emmc.

Hi everyone, I have a Multilaser tablet with the Allwinner A50 chip and I wanted to compile a DTB file for it, so I could boot Armbian, but I haven't found anything on the internet about PIN MAP or anyone who has worked with this chip. Also, it already has an unlocked bootloader. I really wanted to do a project with this tablet, as I'm a student at the Federal Institute and it would be a great project!

Hello comunity members, I've installed and run Armbian_community_25.11.0-trunk.437_Tanix-tx6_trixie_current_6.12.47_minimal Since my Tanix TX 6 is running pretty hot in my opinion I want to reduce the operating frequency. Please help me with some instructions how to do so, since I couldn't find any. Thank you in advance.

Hello guys i want to use linux on mx pro tv box from pendrive when i flash armbian image to pendrive and click the secret button on box nothing boots up can any one guide me on this thankyou:)

Hello everyone, good day. I have a problem and I want to share it with you, maybe we can find a solution. I have a Next MyBox Android box, model H313, with 2GB of RAM (I don't know the LDDR3 type, but I think it's LDDR3). I want to install Armbian on this device via an SD card, but I have a problem: the eMMC flash memory was faulty and causing a short circuit. I removed and cleaned it, but now when I try to install Armbian like X96Q with the SD card, I can't see a display or an IP address on my router. There's no HDMI display either. If you have any information about this, could you please share it?

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

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. CURRENT HARDWARE Device: MX9 4K TV Box SoC: Allwinner H3 CPU: 4x ARM Cortex-A7 Architecture: ARMv7 / armhf RAM detected: ~1 GB Original system: Android Boot device: microSD Display: HDMI …

Hi, guys! I have a tablet Iconbit Skat LE that have android 4.2.2. I want to make from it a ha dashboard. So I found info that I can install armbian. But I have an issue, it doesn't contains my tablet or even company of it. So maybe someone can help to explain?

Hi, I wanted to share what I did to get a recent Armbian build working reliably on my Tanix TX6 (Allwinner H6), in case it helps other users or developers. My TX6 would not boot the recent Armbian image normally. The image I was testing was based on Debian 13 Trixie with: Linux 6.18.50-current-sunxi64 The Linux/rootfs part itself was usable, but the board would not boot correctly with the boot chain included in the recent image. 1. Getting the recent image to boot What finally worked was creating a hybrid image. I kept the recent Armbian Linux partition/root filesystem unchanged, but replaced the low-level boot components with those…

Suggestions will be very appreciated.

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, …

I am trying to boot Armbian Linux on my budget X96Q Pro TV Box, but I have not been able to successfully boot into Linux even once. I am stuck and need some expert guidance on how to get this board to accept a Linux image. The Problem The Physical Reset Button is Broken: The recovery button inside the AV port does not work at all. It does not feel like it's clicking, and holding it while powering on does absolutely nothing. The Terminal Quirks: Because I can't use the hardware button, I am trying to trigger the boot via software from inside Android using a terminal app. Typing reboot update just reboots the box straight back into standard Android…

Topic: Armbian GNU/Linux for 'TX9PROMAX' TV box (not to be confused with the Tanix TX9, this one is a fake version of Tanix TX9 Pro) I am a beginner who wants to flash Armbian GNU/Linux to my fake TV box. It claims a high-end device specifications on the manual, box and even on the underside of the box itself (such as 256 gigabytes of storage and 8 gigabytes of RAM). However, that is completely false, proven by opening the box. Upon analysis of the TV box, we see that it has the following device specifications (given below in the form of a table): Note that the device specifications have been checked and I am sure that these are the specifications.
