The following procedure will trash your Android installation. It is, however, easy to restore if you wish to.

 

You may need to install the drivers for USB first, these can be found here: DriverAssitant_v5.1.1.zip

 

By default the T95 Plus will always attempt to boot from emmc first. This means, out of the box, Android. If Android fails to boot, it will then boot from SD card.

We want a way to prevent this and instead boot from SD card without having to open the box and get the screwdrivers and soldering iron out. There is a windows tool that will allow us to do this. It is called AndroidTool.

What we need to do is to destroy the boot partition. If we do this, the box will just boot into recovery mode so we also need to destroy that too.

In order to use AndroidTool to do this you are going to need a USB A Male to USB A Male cable. These are readily available on Amazon.

First of all, follow the article Getting the T95 Plus to boot from an SD card.

Once you have done this, download Armbian_22.02.0-trunk_T95Plus_bullseye_legacy_4.19.219.img.tar.gz.

Unzip using your favourite tool then write to an SD card with Balena Etcher or similar.

The image is just a balbes150 with a DTB injected for our board.

Pop it into your box and boot.

The image needs HDMI and keyboard for the initial configuration.

Plug the keyboard into the USB port next to the reset pin.

Start by logging into your box and firing up fdisk. We are going to delete all partitions other than the first three, then create a new one to hold our root filesystem.
