Did or did you not state that you are "willing to bet that the /dev/system/ doesn't exist boxes are all W's "? What is the meaning of "all" in this sentence (even if it occurs only in the fist half of it)? Maybe my problem is just that I am not a native speaker.

Concerning fake news and suitable narratives, I believe it is Fox News you meant. If not, that might be part of the problem as well...

Thats why CNN had to retract over 12 news stories in one week for false information. Can always spot the libreal in any forum..lol...anyway Merry CHRISTMAS !!!

BTW -- Thanks Kszaq, just tried the slow device tree for s905x on my p281 s905w and worked fine on installtointernal.

Ok, I'll take you up on this, as my box where this occurs is definitely an X. The problem with the Ws is with the display, not necessarily with NAND.

Only quoted 1/2 the message ... missed the part about them prob using similar chips. If you are going to quote something, don't be like fake news CNN and quote the whole line not just the part that suits your narative...lol

Also getting this /dev/system does not exist error with a new MXQ PRO 4K box when trying to execute installtointernal. Sticker says 905X, dmesg showing undetected NAND id. This was using the build posted by kszaq above.

NAND chip has some strange S logo markings say PF015-125 TP. PCB is marked as S905X_MXQPRO_D3606_20170818_V17.

I had the same type purchase and it wasn't a 905X but a 905W. Boot into recovery if it says P281 it is W. I'm willing to bet that the /dev/system/ doesn't exist boxes are all W's as that is exactly what they do when trying to install to internal.(Or at least some of the same chips being used now) Runs fine off of SD card, but thats no fun, is it?

Thanks for the info, not sure what you mean by try the build with _nand suffix. I know the device tree can have _nand suffix but haven't seen a build with it? Lost me there. But running off SD card is fine for now.

SSH to your box and type in command "installtointernal"

LOL .. I am not that new ... but thanks -- system directory not found -- It's not a priority, was asking if down the road there may be a proper device teree or whatever is needed. Runs fine off SD card.

Ordered a s905x and got a s905w (p281) thank GOD it boots from USB so can use it but would like to install to internal. I am guessing would just need proper device tree? Any chance down the road ???

The S905X boxes seem to be now being replaced with this new RK3328 based boxes, like the Beelink MXIII II is now out of production and replaced with the new Beelink A1 with the RK3328 chip and a super high spec for a still lowish price. So any indication when we may see the excellent LE builds we get for the S905X boxes available for these new RK 3328 devices.

What I find frustrating is that each great new box that arrives soon goes out of production and replaced with something newer, just too many changes too quickly for boxes that are runnign superbly as they are. Ah well I suppose that is called progress. So what I would love to have is a new Beelink A1 box with a good stable LibreELEC 8 firmware available for it as we get with the S905X boxes today. So I am asking whether any of you guys here may know the answer to when this may possibly be available if at all. Is it months or just weeks away?

2gb 16gb S905X runs as good as it gets. Why worry about new boxes when they prob won't run any better anyway? Plenty of S905x's out there for sale. NEW doesn't always mean better.

Is the GUI for skinning 5.13 as I have a skin that I use and reporting 5.13 no good??? Nothing serious just assumed it should be 5.13.0 --?? I took out the requirement and works fine...

Thanks kszaq appreciate all you do for us. My S805 and S905X boxes thank you as well.

balbes worked after I upgraded the minin x8 plus to the beta firmware (5.1.5)

Quote from senzalice

Can anyone please say why this doesn't work?

It's what I'm doing as well...and it won't boot.

When I do balbes150 images this way they work...so whats different?

Im in the same boat....

Thanks kszaq !!!

Thankx afl1 -- I did not know that yours had it....works

Wondering why the xbox one controller works on SX05RE v1.6 but doesn't on any of the other s905x builds?? Or am I missing something?????

Quote from Poida

You can make it work, by using a USB WiFi adapter (like others have mentioned)

Thats no fun and why when we should be able to use it without.

I finally managed to get the 6.0 Android firmware from the manufacturer for all MXQ Pro 4K boxes with all variaty wifi chips.

(s905x_31IR_1G_rtl8189 8188 9083)

Donno if posting link is ok so PM if need to restore your box back to factory.
Apparently they lie -- no wireless for latest wifi ....

Same and when I try to open the controller config in settings ... does nothing.
