DarkOS and screen image split into four sections.

Hi all, I just got my R36 Ultra yesterday and it came with Emuelec. At first I would be happy to keep that as it looked nice. But after a bit of reading DarkOS being more optimised and better for tweaking cores ect, I decided to swap to that. If I had the default image it came with id probably stick with that, but I don't have it.

So after flashing the "dArkOSRE_R36_trixie_03082026.img" it started and did the reading portions and whatever else it does.

Then on the first boot I saw this screen. Split into four. I tried taking the original dtb file from my stock card (rk3326-evb-lp3-v12-linux.dtb) and replacing the DarkOS one (rk3326-r36s-linux.dtb). I named it exactly the same and renamed the Dark dtb with a .bak extension. Put it back in the R36 Ultra and saw a DarkOS boot screen (still in four with funky colours) and that's as far as it would get.

Does anybody know how to resolve this without opening the console as I may still return it if I can't get it working.

Any help to get this resolved is much appreciated 👍

I am open to different firmware suggestions also. I just don't know what available.

Forgot to mention I'm using a sandsik for my new card. It's worked in my other devices.
