    Thanks for the news!
    And to return to the AOSP option, just uninstall the ugoos-atv-20201215 module on Magisk?
    This is. Did I understand you correctly?
    Hugs.

      Yes, according to the following instructions just "uncheck the module in Magisk and reboot":

      As I already mentioned before I never tried it myself (I always prefer AOSP versions).
      If you try it please report here if everything is OK or not.
      Prior to this mod always have a good TWRP backup (just in case ..............)

          In the case of my HK1 BOX S905X3 with its firmware, is step 5 to be omitted the one in the Armbian installation instructions PDF?

          4. ...
          5. Copy “u-boot.ext” to your root of your sd card.

            Armbian (Linux) for HK1 Box and Vontar X3

            And here is the easy way to install Armbian (Linux) to an sd card for HK1 Box & Vontar X3. Colors of the screen will be fine/correct.

            https://mega.nz/file/Rs0D1SyJ#sqAkbg...nODaPK3dzrlImc

            https://mega.nz/folder/U8lSWZCC#Nn62fFjIK_T_Cn_60IcpIw


            Tip1: For HK1 Box & Vontar X3 the only difference is that you use the 2 files of the 2nd folder (instead of those of the 1st)!!!
            Tip2:
            To boot from USB stick (black port):
            - Do not delete "u-boot.sd". (you may need it later for an sd card)
            - Do not copy "u-boot.ext" that I gave you.
            - Copy "u-boot.usb" to your PC and rename it to "u-boot.ext". Now copy this file (u-boot.ext) back to your USB stick.

              6. Create a directory “/lib/firmware/brcm” and copy the file “bcm4335c0.hcd” in it

              Please, create on SDCARD or HK1BOX?

              Tks.

                No. Everything you are doing, you are doing it on the sd card/USB stick. NOT to HK1 Box.

                  I did not succeed.
                  I'm using a SAMSUNG 2160p 4K (HDMI) TV.
                  I can enter Armbian (Linux), but only two colors are displayed (magenta and cyan).
                  As soon as I test on a 1080p TV or Monitor I comment here.
                  Thankful.

                  Note: To use a pendrive on the USB 2.0, I had to skip step 5 and delete u-boot.sd. I currently have no sdcard available.

                    - Did you use "h96max-x2-test-bus80-gpu-volt.dtb"? (You don't use that for H96 max X3 dtb file).
                    - Did you use "uEnv.txt" from the 2nd folder which is for HK1 Box ? (it just points to the correct dtb)
                    - Step 5 (copying "uEnv.txt" is very important to have correct colors.
                    - To be honest I have tested this method to my Samsung TV/monitor (Full FD) and to my Philips (Full HD). Not to my 4K LG TV.

                      Step 5 is: 5. Copy “u-boot.ext” to your root of your sd card.
                      If I do this step (5) the home screen is lime green and freezes.

                        - Create your sd card with Balena. Do not take it out from PC.
                        - Copy the suggested files (dtb file and txt file-overwrite the one there) and create the directory for BT. When you finish everything release the sd from Windows (proper way-remove sd)
                        - If you used your sd once, it is better not to try it again by replacing/changing files, but remake your sd from the beginning with Balena.
                        - I have a perfectly working Armbian build in my HK1 Box and 2 Full HD TVs.

                            Sorry...
                            I changed the keyboard and entered Armbian.
                            I will continue the configuration.

                              Almost...
                              Enter normally with the black screen and white letters and stop at login.
                              I enter the login and password.
                              Follows the configuration of Armbian parameters and reboots.
                              Stop again at login and password.
                              There was no option to change the password.
                              I enter the login and password.
                              Follows the configuration of Armbian parameters and reboots.
                              And so over and over.
                              It does not enter the Armbian desktop.
                              I have done it twice with an 8GB Usb stick.The procedure is the following:
                              - User : root
                              - pass: 1234
                              - Then it asks you to change the password. First you give again '1234' as it asks you again for the original password. Then you type the new pass (i.e. klmnopqrs). You retype it for confirmation.
                              - After that you have to do some more (as you are asked). Good luck.

                                Thanks.
                                Installed according to your instructions.
                                Display colors OK.



                                I will test better in the coming days because with 4K resolution the videos (even in 1080p (sdcard or YouTube)) are not running smooth.
                                I will test on a 1080p monitor, as soon as I can.
                                Network (cable) with 10% (24M) of the download speed (240M) on the internet.
                                Everything else is OK. Armbian, Xfce, ...
                                Good week!
