You have to use the correct firmware for your box which has LAN 100 and not 1.000, as all the other of the same "family". So you MUST use the firmware I gave you the link above !!!!!

In case you need the 2 pins here they are:

If you have HK1 Box with 100m LAN you must install this firmware:https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...56193e5fQkAMBY

- First try with USB Burning Tool and a USB-A/USB-A cable (while connecting the cable to HK1, do not forget to keep pressing the reset button)
- If you do not succeed in the above procedure you may have to open the TVbox and connect 2 pins (NAND Chip Mask ROM Mode)

**** Also you didn't say what happened to your TVbox. Did you try to install another firmware? Something else happened?

I am not familiar to Android TV OS (ex., booting process). To me, "reboot update" is like a PC bios upgrade. Maybe I asked some stupid questions, or I just want to know how those commands work before I try, though I understand all the trying is at my own risk.

So far, I boot Armbian Ubuntu from USB drive, both black and blue ports work, and it seems very stable (except booting from SD card, glxgears 3D gpu driver, sound not working ??? but Debian version works, these issues), though personally I still prefer bionic (18.04) because some packages are missing in focal (20.04).

@ath156

What does "reboot update" do? Will this command erase the default factory firmware? What is the difference between "toothpick method" and "reboot update"?

In case I run into "dead android robot" screen, will "factory reset" option bring HK1 box back to its default firmware image?

How do you ever thouhgt that I would suggest something that will erase my custom rom (or any other rom)????

This way you just "force" your TVbox instead of loading the Android rom you have, to try to load a "temporary" system from an SD card or USB flash drive. So it tries first to boot from the SD card or USB flash drive, if there is a bootable system there (like Coreelec, Libreelec, Armbian etc). If it doesn't find any bootable system it continues to Android.
Of course you are not using this method if you don't have a bootable system like Coreelec or Armbian etc in your SD card.
If you still prefer the "toothpick method" (that is pressing the reset button-probably with a toothpick- while giving power to the TVbox), please do that.

A testimony:
Prime Video AOSP only works 100% on its AMAZING firmware!
I have a box, which is not compatible with your firmware, with custom firmware with Android 9, and the Prime Video AOSP app does not allow I to change the audio in the video player interface.
Congratulations!

Note: Everything works wonderfully!

Hi, ath156,

Thank you for the prompt reply.

I make a fresh SD card from Armbian Ubuntu 5.7 image, follow the #200 instructions, copy u-boot.sd.ext to BOOT and make it another copy u-boot.ext, copy bcm4335c0.hcd to /lib/firmware/brcm, copy h96max-x2-test-bus80-gpu-volt.dtb to /dtb/amlogic, replace uEnv.txt.

However, both with/without toothpick methods can not boot from SD card. It seems the booting process is in a loop. The screen default "no signal" message keep showing on roughly around every 1 to 2 seconds.

I put my original USB drive back, take out the SD card, and it's booting as before.

1. Sorry but I don't have the time now to check it once more at my HK1 Box. I will do it as soon as possible. Since it is a long time since #200 post I have tried also other (newer) builds.
2. In the meantime try to prepare every file needed to your PC (i.e. rename "u-boot.sd.ext" to u-boot.ext) and just copy them to your SD card (in a fresh made sd card). Doing this directly to your sd card sometimes may result in a zero size file !
3. For your convenience I suggest you not to use the "toothpick" method but:
- Install from Playstore the apk "Terminal Emulator"
- Insert your new sd card with armbian and at terminal emulator just type "reboot update".
