    You've been here before - so you should know we are not all mind readers.

    If it's S905X then you should be able to follow the AML instructions and see if it boots. - Try different dtb files to suit your box and if it works - great.

    BUT, just cos it's 905X means dog poo, because all of the other HW has more of an issue.

    Provide FULL details of the FULL H/W and it MIGHT be possible to deduce what is possible.

    If installing to SD card, then it doesn't matter if it works or not, as Android will be untouched.

    I'd say just go for it with a spare SD card - there's nothing to lose. The S905x dtbs begin with "gxl-p212"

    I didn't post the hardware info because I don't have the full specs yet............................

    I have Libreelec on dual boot external SD Card but on a MXQ Android 4.4.2 Amlogic S805 but the part that since it is an external SD Card and if it doesn't work it wont hurt the STB if it doesn't work I forgot that detail..........When it comes to Android, Linux IPTV I am no expert I prefer to ask, if its about satellite STB or Turbo system for any car, SUV etc. then it is another story...............Thanks for the help and time.................................AZ
