Thanks,
Also tried with another S905x - Sunvell T95m - 2G/8G that also works with older LE. Same behaviour on that box - infinite boot loop.
NOTE:Very first time booting after the install, there is text down left hand side of screen and the final message is "Reached target Kodi Media Center" or something similar (can't recall exact wording). It suggests that everything is good to go, but we just get boot loops.
Maybe the dtb is the cause??

Tested 20190712 AMLG12.arm but no connection through the NIC.
20190611 AMLG12.aarch64 image is still the only one that gave me a NIC connection to LAN/internet.
This is the info from that working image

DTB: meson-g12a-x96-max-rmii.dtb (the one from the July 1st build as later ones don't seem to hold the rmii one)
Results:
- Boots
- Ethernet working, gets IP through DHCP
- Stock remote works if already on
- HDMI audio output present / 5.1 possible through spdif passthrough over stereo
- No mutichannel PCM (always outputs stereo if passthrough disabled)
- HEVC crahes (known issue)
- No WiFi
- Doesn't wake from power off or suspended mode from remote press
Same results apply to yesterday's s905x2 build with the rmii dtb that is now reincluded. Is the remote problem difficult to fix? Perhaps an easier wake-on-LAN function exists that could be implemented?
Thx!
no connection through the NIC.
Check this DTB option.
Version 20190713.
all images use common kernel 5.2.
Is it still possible to overclock odroid C2??
Check this DTB option.
Unfortunately it did not help!

Should you not be using a different .dtb? ...... the -rmii.dtb is supposed to be for X96 max 2G/16G devices with 100Mb/s ethernet as I understand it.

Yes you are right. I replaced the dtb with the correct one. Nothing changed.
Version 20190716.
Expanded list of USB WiFi and USB sound.
Maybe the dtb is the cause??
I checked the operation on two s905x, the system starts up and works.
Witch branch are you using to build?
Yes, I'm using this branch.
