be more specific please in explaining what steps you have done. Did you use a toothpick and press/hold the reset button for 15 seconds? also the currently installed firmware may be blocking the booting of 3rd party operating systems (armbian, emuelec, etc). or the bootloader is encrypted which also blocks some 3rd party things. This is true in my H96 Max X3 (S905x3) tv box. I had to downgrade the Android firmware to older firmware of the year 2022. Search online for an older stock Android firmware file. Another option is to install another Android firmware such as Aidan's-ROM, ( link here ) overwriting the stock Android firmware, and this may allow booting Armbian. Below are two methods that I use to install any compatible Android firmware onto two tv boxes. |

if this stock android firmware is older, then maybe try to downgrade your tv box by using this file. I also found this information in freaktab forums and a mega link to another android firmware file. https://forum.freaktab.com/node/812507 *edit: and another, year 2020, *edit: another year 2020 |
