Hello all, I am new to single board computers. I just got my tinker edge R yesterday. After watching several videos I finally managed to figure out how to flash debian to my sd and get my device to boot up. After a quick look around, I realized that setting up a wireless connection was not going to be straight forward like on windows and figured that I should probably go with andriod for ease of use. I so far only have plans to use this Edge R as an emulator machine for my kids and I. I formatted the SD card again and this time again used Balena Etcher, but this time tried to install Android 9 V1.0.6 downloaded from the support page. Etcher said that everything was flashed successfully, but when I power up my device, no signal is found on the monitor weather I use USBC or HDMI. I've left it powered on for several minutes as well and tried a different monitor. When flashing, the file I chose was the "update.img" found in the main directory. One of the videos I watched said to use that file and then just hit continue when it said it was missing partitions or something like that. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I have tried downloading and installing what I believe are the latest apks for Android 12 on APKMirror: Google Framework, Google Play Service and Google Play store. But I still can't get them to work even after granting all permissions and restarting. Can someone please help me?
