August 25, 20242 yr I have extract the device-tree of my tvbox, How to make armbian run on it using this h616.dts? Could anybody help me? thanks a lot! My dts file can be downloaded by url below https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1SZ6bRcxhPlqeblpoxxSb9PELKUIWABQN OR https://disk.yandex.com/d/tJ1GpInvt8dMUw Tanix TX6S firmware https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1CJEsZ6jdRGFC7XpOFVp8eG-DO0tbrOOb
August 25, 20242 yr Author I get one T95 H616 firmware from chinagadgetsreviews.com, It can be flashed 100%, but my tvbox can't boot https://chinagadgetsreviews.com/download-android-10-stock-firmware-for-t95-tv-dual-band-wifi-version.html https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KAnccoqchR95gbdFWKvlvSn28aApdBwO/edit
October 5, 20242 yr 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. Edited October 5, 20242 yr by eibrog
November 10, 20241 yr Author I really appreciate your reply。 thank you very much I will try it. then I will write the result of tring it
November 10, 20241 yr Author @eibrog I have tested the image ( https://github.com/sicXnull/armbian-build/releases/download/v24.8.0-trunk.425/Armbian-unofficial_24.11.0-trunk_X96q-v5-1_bookworm_current_6.6.44_mate_desktop.img.xz ) It does not work
November 10, 20241 yr Try this miniarch image. If it boots then you can port over the files needed to boot armbian. https://github.com/warpme/miniarch https://github.com/warpme/miniarch/releases/download/v20240916/MiniArch-20240715-6.10.10-board-h616.tanix_tx6s_axp313-SD-Image.img.xz 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. https://linux-sunxi.org/UART Edited November 10, 20241 yr by Nick A

I have bought ch340 to connect UART port, not working. I guest that UART port is disabled by OEM
November 11, 20241 yr Your box probably has secure boot enabled... Give this image a try. Let me know if you get any output from the UART. https://github.com/NickAlilovic/build/releases/download/v20240716/Armbian-20240716-unofficial_24.5.0-trunk_Transpeed-8k618-t_bookworm_edge_6.7.12_xfce_desktop_Secure_Boot.img.tar.xz

November 12, 20241 yr Your TX0 and RX0 wires need to be crossed over. TX0 red connects to RX0 and RX0 white connects to TX0.

November 12, 20241 yr Author @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?
November 12, 20241 yr 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. Edited November 12, 20241 yr by Nick A
November 12, 20241 yr @zcrself 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)
November 13, 20241 yr Hello. There is such a fee.flashed on q1. now it's a brick.securyti boot.The red LED is on and does not react to anything.I tried to load 1>X96Q (Z1-Q1) Secure Boot. The loading is in progress. But there is no image either via HDMI or via AV output.Here is a photo of my board. https://mega.nz/file/VY4lTIyS#5D_7o2o8P5VM6fHSyCh5pvN1MyBFHyH84N2-ZDwu1TI

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

Thanks a lot for your reply
November 14, 20241 yr 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 Edited November 14, 20241 yr by eibrog

November 14, 20241 yr Author I extract the device tree files of my tvbox via 'dtc' command h616.dts Edited November 14, 20241 yr by zcrself
November 16, 20241 yr @zcrself 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. https://www.h96tvbox.com/firmware-download/ https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1IJA6yZQwdKc3i9bQl9xlp5jSACZjTb7h 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.
