rockchip_rk33xx: problems: Help to write Armbian on my HD96Max #10

hey guys, i've been trying to install armbian onto my HD96 Max RK3318. I tried following; https://forum.armbian.com/topic/26978-csc-armbian-for-rk3318rk3328-tv-box-boards/ But I've run into a problem.

I don't have a working SD card to do that method, so i tried the (flash Emmc method) using the clock pin. in rkdevtool my device was recognized as a loader device, and I soon figured out how to force maskrom mode.

I just now needed to flash armbian onto the emmc using the download image tab, simple i thought... until i ran into errors (can't remember the exact errors but it won't finish downloading. I thought maybe i needed to clear out what was already on the Emmc so clicked the advanced tab and selected EraseLBA and EraseALL.

Now that seems to have cleared the original Firmware (android) and when I plug it into the tv, there's no clock on the system anymore and nothing shows up. Along with a solid red light and in rkdevtool it seems to be forced into maskrom mode without me having to do the clockpin method. which is good, doesn't seem like bricked the board or anything.

Attempted to flash armbian again using the download tab and I'm now having issues switching to storage. I also checked if i can swap back to Loader mode in the advanced tab, got an error "don't support read or switch on storage"

Im new to this sort of thing so I'm learning as i go. I should also mention that I'm Using MiniLoaderAll.bin for the loader and trying to install Armbian_community_24.2.0-trunk.540_Clockworkpi-a06_bookworm_current_6.6.16 if that helps

switch storage fail

i have seen that thread on the armbian forum as well i think - jock is doing a very good job in supporting his images, so in case he has no idea of how to get out of it then i think i have none as well ... best would be to get a working sd card and then try his minitool image

Hey thanks for replying, yes Jock had been very helpful thus far and I just managed to figure it out and get armbian installed

But now i have a new issue. I updated the firmware in armbian and that seemed to break the OS. Idk why i thought that was a good idea, no video one screen and rkdevtool no device found, blue and red lights flashing
