I bought a Gaminja K36 from Temu thinking it would be a decent R36S clone, but I got completely scammed with a "fake of a fake". Temu has really crossed the line with this batch.

I opened it up after failing to flash any CFW, and you can see the absolute mess in the attached picture (KakaoTalk_20260620_095320514.jpg):

• The Board: Clearly marked as K3 V2.0 2510 at the bottom.
• Missing Hardware: It only has ONE RAM chip. You can see the empty solder pads right next to it where the second RAM chip is supposed to be.
• Fake Chipset: The main chip is laser-etched with "Rockchip RK3326", but it is 100% a relabeled cheap garbage chip (probably Ali M3901/GB350).

How I know it's a fake: When I tried to install the ArkOS K36 image, it just gave me a "No TF Card" error. I checked the stock SD card it came with, and the file structure is a joke:

• Zero .dtb files.
• 6 hidden partitions.
• The infamous magic.bin file and a heavily modified batocera folder.

This means you CANNOT install standard ArkOS, Rocknix, or any normal CFW on this garbage. It’s physically impossible because of the proprietary bootloader.

If you're looking at a cheap Gaminja K36 on Temu right now, DO NOT BUY IT. I'm opening a dispute for a full refund citing counterfeit items. Has anyone else received this specific "K3 V2.0 2510" batch recently?

Hey Anbernic developers, please consider adding AZAHAR to the stock Linux OS. The RG-DS has so much potential, and this would really unlock it!
