Oh ok, thank you very much, I missed that...

I took a closer look on how to add drivers. I forgot about projrct treble which makes this easier.

But I according to what i read I cannot just add drivers. They must fit to the kernel..

Do the drivers get called automatically? I guess I have to make a script?

If you can better make a kernel with the support of your wifi.Source and kernel on the Amlogic website.Or ask for Lewy.

Yes I read about terminal app, but maybe there could be another solution? (like rashr OR chainfire flashtool?)

Did not try cable. But seems like the RTL combo chip is not that supported :-( ...

Read posts from Xannytech facing issues with that chip, I guess even superceleron who ran into trouble and could not get bluetooth to work..

Here i wrote that you can write twrp using the Root rashr flash tool program.Drivers for yyou wifi chip should be added to the vendor section.

yep, but rename to recovery.img right?

Yes.

Maybe stupid question: I got device with RTL 8723 BS chipset. Nothing works neither wifi nor bluetooth. Any way getting that to work?

Possible to flash TWRP via flashr or something else? Or just teminal?

You can also write to the memory card twrp and insert into the box hold the reset and turn on the box .

Through terminal emulation you can flash twrp .I already wrote about this.Does the ethernet cable work?

Sorry, I meant that couldn't flash anything since I flashed this rom.
What I tried :
USB BURNING = Computer don't reconize anything even usb device. Tested on 2 computers.
SD CARD FLASH = Nothing on the screen (black screen) and I can reboot after and no brick.
FLASH DIRECTLY FROM ANDROID = Nothing at restart (tried to flash TWRP)
Thanks !

If you installed android 8.0 ,then to install twrp3.2.3 you need to download and open the terminnal emulation on play market.In terminal Write in terminal
1. su
2. dd if=/sdcard/twrp3.2.3.img of=/dev/block/recovery
3. reboot recovery

And you reboot into new twrp3.2.3.In this twrp install the firmware.
