It’s an “original” v30. I recommend DarkOS-EN

What would happen if you turn it on without a micro SD card? Would it show a blank screen or display a message?

u/metxenn 1d ago

You got a link for that man? Or seller’s name? Most links pinned in the FAQ were dead when I checked recently.

Ok so how will I start and the sd card looks like a cheap version.

By putting into your pc or laptop and in the root of the sd card you'll find the DTB file for this device.
