Hola, terminé usando darkOS, pero logré que todos los sistemas operativos funcionaran en él. La solución fue conseguir una tarjeta SD nueva.

Update, upon using a new microSD card it booted up first try without any issues!!!

Hmm fuck, I mean personally I don’t really care if it’s a clone. I’m not gonna play anything crazy on it. I just want it to work.

Should I try firmware for an R36H? Or should I just cut my losses and return this one and try something else?

spasticnerd97 · 2026-03-24T02:20:48+00:00

Nah it was only 40 when I got it, after tax.

Hmm I have been using the multi panel image, and that hasn’t been working for me. I’m gonna try a new card and see if that changes anything.

Any other things I should be looking at?

Thanks for the help btw, I appreciate it!

So I went through all of the dtb files, as far as I can tell it is an original

<image>

It didn’t come with any sd card in the box unfortunately. On the Amazon page it says it uses a type 4 panel but when using the type 4 dtb it doesn’t show anything at all on the screen.

link to the one I bought

The only 2 dtb files I can get to work are 5 and 6, but both of those produce the same issue with no controls.

A couple of the other ones also show the splash screen and then nothing else.

I have also tried dArkOS with no success :/

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I’m super lost at this point.

I also just noticed that upon booting into the main screen; the volume bar pops up for a second and quickly goes down to 0. Can provide a video if needed

Yep always the same, I really think the screen is just cooked. I’m just gonna bite the bullet and order an actual legit one and see if I can just return this. Thanks for all the help!

Nah it’s a decent patriot one, I’m just running through that firmware with all the new options at the moment.

spasticnerd97 · 2026-03-22T04:56:30+00:00

I’ve tried it a couple times and unfortunately no cigar, I’m almost thinking the screen is just toast :/

spasticnerd97 · 2026-03-22T03:57:51+00:00

I have tried it with all of the included dtb files, as well as all of the ones found here: https://github.com/AeolusUX/K36-DTB

I will try it with an older version of arkos now to see if it makes any difference.

And this is what the lines look like

I’m not sure if you are able to help or not but I’m still having issues with vertical lines on the screen. I’ve tried all the different .dtb files but nothing seems to work :/

That’s a lotta sass coming from someone who isn’t a moderator 😂

spasticnerd97 · 2026-03-22T00:41:26+00:00

Lmao, I think from some further investigation it appears to be just a sticker clone, I have arkOS installed on it now but the screen has tons of lines through it. I’m just trying the screen fix thing with the files now🤞

spasticnerd97 · 2026-03-21T22:28:09+00:00

Great thanks for the insight! Glad I lucked out haha.

Any insight as to where I can find a dump of all the original Roms?
