Hi,

Same file or only same filename?

When it’s the device with S905X it should work with correct DTB. You can try edit config.ini and on the end uncomment the line coreelec= and modify it to coreelec='nopkmute debugging'. Then you might can see some prints on the screen and maybe the reason.

And such old devices do need minimum Android 7.1 installed!

I used the on from the new installation and renamed it to dtb.img

Mhh I got coreelec 9.2.8 on the internal MMC

I try it with the debug
Mhh I can find only Android 6…

Flash Android 7.1 image and try again, it should work than.

You could try alternative ROMS like ATV Experience, AidanTVROM etc. - search the forum and you’'l get some hints. Burn the ROM and keep only the bootloader for CE on internal instalation.

USB 2.0 A Male to A Male cable 1.5 USD, cheap.

I try an older version where I can use SD card.
If not Use my PC with VLC

You don’t need one, use Amlogic Bootcard Maker instead
