Cool.. Im downloading the file..during my sleep cycle
Thanks for sharing

Hmm.. I was watching ''top box'' review...
Hey say No laucher would run on his box... But I tried like 5 windows looking ones..the all worked (pre-rooting)
currently using Station-Launcher.. but some issues, no option to add apps and its only showing one app MCE/settings (permission issue I think )
hey also says...settings/display/hdmi has no option for 4k/8k - but mine does (update without hdmi hub its limited to 1080p with hub 8k )
going to sleep..night night

[mitchell4you]

Well...
installed update.zip
Rebooted -> rk3566 logo ( no fancy animation ) -> black screen
Was this update.zip really for this rk3566 device?
It does show the time...on device display
But if the unit is giving 4k resolution...then Shirley the 1080p monitor should state : out of range? But it doesn't
Removing HDMI and re-enabling doesn't do anything...

Ohh..dear now what?

tried:
1.Other TV and monitor = black screen
2.With and without HDMI switch
3.So, inside update.zip is a boot.img that I patched with magisk and flashed = blackscreen
4.flashed old patched boot.img = working again ( no data or apps lost )

Unit build - now reads : rk356x_box-userdebug 11 RQ1D.210105.003 eng.pc20210514.171702 release-keys
So, the update seem to be for the rk3566...

So, solved
Now howto ? See the differences in the img files
-what did the fix/break
Or this update is only for the 4gb ram version...

[zeroprobe]

OK, so the hardware HDMI solder issue was fake news from a supplier.

With the 20210514 update I get 4k30 resolution only. Still needs a fix for 4k60.

[mitchell4you]

I was thinking..If we could change the Update.zip
To include the rooted boot.img
Then people can update and get root without needing cable and flashtools..
-this stated.. the zip file is probably signed

Must do some research..

You can already flash the boot.img from Developer Options, no PC needed.

please clarify how?
Because... I lost root again after installing update.zip dated 5-20
- installed update all seems fine

Only thing I see in developer mode is dynamic update
It gives me : GSI arm64 and GSI+GMS
I clicked on first...let's see what it does

looks like trwp is under development

I have just bought a new Android TV Box model 2021, H 96 Max RK3566 4/32( Android 11) and installed the KODI app and the corresponding build on. I immediately noticed that the box has a big problem with this app and when I run the KODI app KODI loads and after a few seconds it resets and returns the screen to the basic default screen, sometimes it completely reset the box and restarts the box again. After many attempts, I sometimes manage to make KODI work normally until I turn the box off, after a new activation on, the same problems occur. Is there any way to fix this problem?
I tried 18.9 Leia with No Limits Magic build and 19.1 Matrix with Xenon Matrix build, and always exactly the same problem.
Kodi works for you on RK3566 ???, if so then something is wrong with my box maybe HW memory I don't know I guess?
I also can't believe that the box in the basic Android settings doesn't have Power Key and HDMI-CEC definition options.
Any advice would be welcome.

Best Regards / Sat-An

-I'v read your comments very carefully and its totally sucks

-your story same as my and some of users in Freaktab.... when we bought RK3399 Box(Brand "X99") KODI does not worked!
since about 5 years ago!

Those fuc.... RK devices are all same

note;after couple of updates etc., than Kodi will start!

and probably yours are also will start but when it will and what stable etc.,
pls be patient

-In the beginning do not install any "BUILD"!! just install 19.1 and wait

-other story ise,Android 10/11 and 9 ise fine but 10/11 have had lot of issues as well

I bought recently a new Box(A95X F4 with new chipset AML905X4) but it sucks too!
Android-10 does not work properly,some of Apk.s not compatible even lot of other issues too!!
