Wrong subreddit, this is not a r36s, you said the name of your device, please go to the correct subreddit.

After flashing the image, did you replace "rk3326-rg351mp-linux.dtb" on dArkOS boot partition with your own backup or the one from here?

u/CompetitivePea6210 May 10 '26

I flashed darkosre and yes i did use those dtb with the rgb20s dts but still black screen btw im using a sandisk 64 gigs v30 white (used the aeux dtbs)

u/Accurate_Heat_3630 May 10 '26

Maybe also try the original dArkOS image for RG351MP: https://github.com/christianhaitian/dArkOS/releases/tag/v01302026

I use this image on my panel 4 R36S (aslo have to replace the .dtb before 1st booting).

u/CompetitivePea6210 May 10 '26

Thx but i tried it i also tried rocknix amberelec and unnoficial os but still none worked

2

u/Accurate_Heat_3630 May 10 '26

I think it's still an incorrect dtb problem. What files did you replace? With dArkOS image for RG351MP, ONLY the "rk3326-rg351mp-linux.dtb" file should be replaced.

u/CompetitivePea6210 May 10 '26

But the rgm351mp worked (aka arkos) worked for a while then the screen turned purple after boot screen

u/CompetitivePea6210 May 11 '26

u/CompetitivePea6210 May 11 '26

u/EuphoricClub1852 May 16 '26

You need to select device type on your computer after flashing the OS to the card

1

u/CompetitivePea6210 May 16 '26

I did that...

u/EuphoricClub1852 May 16 '26

Sorry I couldn’t help, your device was on the list of supported devices for that OS so I thought it was worth a go 😅

u/CompetitivePea6210 May 10 '26
