Backup your stock SD card

  • BOOT partition of a R36S with the original (V1) screen
  • BOOT partition of a R36S with the panel 4 (V5) screen
  • Different BOOT partition of a R36S with the panel 4 (V5) screen

This is the first step you should take before doing anything with your console. Save the contents of the microSD to your computer.

The 📄rk3326-r35s-linux.dtb or 📄rk3326-rg351mp-linux.dtb from the 📁BOOT partition is the most important file. You're probably going to need this to fix the problems that the 5 different screen / display panel versions often create (black screen issue).

My original SD card got corrupted before I could make a backup

New dtb files for AmberELEC

Panel 4 (V5) AmberELEC sound + FN button fix

I don't have rk3326-r35s-linux.dtb on my SD card

If you have a 📁EELEC partition or your files are 📄rk3326-evb-lp3-v12-linux.dtb or 📄rf3536k3ka.dtb, you got the EmuELEC Clone that is not compatible with standard ArkOS/AmberELEC.
