Just found that wifi is not working, the wifi chip is an RTL-8723BS, (024c:8723), tried modprobe on r8723bs but getting
modprobe: FATAL: Module r8723bs not found in directory /lib/modules/3.10.108
The RTL8723BS is supported (module name: 8723bs.ko, without the "r" at the beginning), but it seems to me that the wifi chip you indicated is an RTL8723AS, which unfortunately I don't know too much about, but I'll try to look it up. I would like to ask you for a little patience.
Please try this snapshot image:
Index of /snapshots/20230512_rtl8723as_9b693a0/
Bluetooth probably won't work, but wifi should hopefully start with this driver.

Thanks, it is AS and not BS. I have misunderstood vid and pid, now I've checked the chip by removing the heat sink. Wifi it's not working, switched to Lan use.
Note: Testing the provided image I've found that Kodi starts in safe mode, reverted to previous 9.2.8.8
In spare time I will try to find some info on the AS version.
Thanks

Could you send some photos of the PCB?

That doesn't look promising, it usually happens after several unsuccessful boot process. It's a shame I would have asked for some kernel log, but that way you could only extract anything meaningful from the UART.

Here the PCB photos (without the heat-sink, one over S805, the other over RTL)
How to access the uart? there are pins on the PCB?
Thanks
Well, the manufacturer saved a lot of space, the PCB is quite small compared to the size of the box.

The unsoldered 4-pin header behind one of the Jack connectors looks similar, but I'm not sure it really is.

Yes, looking at the cut point I suppose they get 2 board from a single pcb. The box could have been really smaller with a different pcb approach. I think that's behind the marketing idea: bigger is better...

I think the manufacturer simply has a bunch of empty MXQ boxes that they haven't sold before. By the way, the "5G" label on the box is also strange because the RTL8723AS only works on 2.4GHz. So it's the usual Chinese industrial scam again. I haven't been surprised by this in a while...
Meanwhile, I found an obvious error in the driver that I hadn't noticed before. I fixed this, please try this new snapshot version:

You should probably boot successfully with this image, but even if the wifi is working or not, I would ask for a journalctl | paste output.
please try this new snapshot version:
Broken something when reassembling heat-sink, board won't boot, have to check if fixable in the spare time.
Can't test the image right now.
Thanks anyway

Oops, that's not good news. I hope there was no short circuit or similar. 
If anyone has a similar box, or knows where to get a 100% identical one, please let me know.

I have an MXQ PRO 4K 5G, but Wi-Fi module probably RTL871X. Can you add driver for this module?

UPD. I managed to install an older version of the Droid HW Info and it showed rtl8723as. 
Installed the new snapshot version and the wifi still doesn't work.

I would be happy to get a syslog from you:
dmesg | paste
In addition, it would be good to identify whether the same PCB is also in your box.

Right? Launch using an Ethernet connection.

The above command should be run relatively quickly after Kodi startup, preferably without pressing any button on the remote control.
Unfortunately, the log buffer is limited, so what you sent is only filled by pressing buttons on the remote control.
