  • [7.0.3.012l] LibreELEC 7.0 for S905/S905X

    Quote from TheMatrixS905x


    I purchased a Mediabox TX95 Amlogic S905x 2/16 I was wanting to give LibreELEC a go, but Im having trouble booting to it with an SDcard. I have followed the instructions in the guide but when I push the reset button and power it on it stays at the Amlogic S905X screen. Iam pushing the right reset buttion.

    I believe you have a locked recovery in your Android Firmware.
    Try the following using a zip file.

    Just input a Fake.zip in your SD Card with LE, go to Update App on Android, Select the fake Fake.zip and press Update.
    If this fails, Copy the fake zip to USB Stick and leave the LE sd card inserted at the same time and use update from fake zip on USB Stick.
    The box should restart and install LE on SD Card.

    The point is I am running LibreElec version 7.0.2.005 from AmLinux.ru

    I have no idea what Amlinux has to do with LibreELEC versions.
    I believe you should use the SD Card LibreELEC first and learn how to SSH into your box as you will
    use it for more than just to install to internal.
    You are going into dangerous territory trying to flash LE internally without knowing what the Amlinux version you flashed,has done to your original Android Firmware.
    Spend a little more time reading the instructions and ask what you don't understand.
    It will save you a lot of time now, rather than going into a Boot Freeze. Then you will have to learn more than how to SSH.
    Good luck with it.

    I second that, could you please compile an update.zip for 7.0.2.12a to install to internal like there was for 7.0.2.11.

    I know how to "install to internal" via ssh but prefer to install/update via recovery/twrp to internal.

    I think 7.0.2.008 was the last version with zip files to install internally.
    There were many failed attempts on too many boxes installing with this method and consequently kszaq
    dropped it. :idea:

  • [S905] Device trees

    Quote from bluetin


    I've extracted and decompiled the dtb.img from the Android system but that source also specifies a memory size of 1GB. I know Android sees the full 2Gb and must be coded to resize the RAM size. I assume it is the Android firmware bootloader (u-boot?) failing when the device tree (dtb.img) specifies a memory size of 2GB. I wonder if booting with LE/1GB on NAND and LE/2GB from SD would work or have you tried this?

    If you have decompiled the stock Android device tree and it specifies 1gb ram, then that is strong evidence that you have 1gb ram.
    The Android seeing 2 gb of ram is probably spoofed in the Build.prop
    Basically a fake ram reading trick by the seller is the likely answer.

    Can you create a "to_internal_in_recovery" zip of the 7.0.3.012a build?
    (LibreELEC-S905.arm-7.0.3.012a-temp_sensor_disabled.img.gz)

    Would like to start using your build on my Beelink MiniMX.
    Thank you in advance!!

    SD CARD INSTALL FIRST. OP
    Internal memory (NAND/eMMC):
    Run LE from SD card first. If it runs fine, connect to your box over SSH, execute

    Code
    installtointernal


    command and follow on-screen instructions. This command wipes SYSTEM and DATA partition!

    CAUTION: If your box has a non-standard partition layout, you will see an error when trying to boot from internal memory for the first time. To solve it, you need to boot one more time from SD card and run

    Code
    installtointernal


    again.

    I have a TX5 Pro with Qualcomm QCA9377
    I only just tried this with Vanilla SD Card of 7.0.3.012.

    No Bluetooth Adapters Found.
    Always hooks up to wifi after 10 mixed reboots and power off.
    So that is a good thing. It used to not hook up at random and toggling wifi on/off used to fix it.

    Observation regarding the wifi on this box.
    Comparing 7.0.2.011 64bit which is installed internally the wifi speed is significantly faster than
    the 7.0.2.012 32bit SD Card on this same box.
    I am running both versions on this same box.
    I have done over 20 speed tests on each version using the speedtest addon and results attached .
    I think the attempt to fix Bluetooth on this chip may have caused this ??
    I am not sure but i am reporting the observation.

    You have a device with Aigale WiFi, right? Can you please confirm whether Bluetooth works for you in this build?

    I noticed during update with this box that i saw Not Found in the script whilst un packing.
    I saw the device tree was not updated in the reading of the script.
    The box booted up and seemed to work OK but i re Updated the second time with both files again.
    This time after the un packing i saw the device tree updated in the script and no Not Found errors.
    No Bluetooth Adapters Found.

    My previous tests for this version were done on 2 of my 1gb/8gb S905 Boxes.
    A95X S905 and MiniMx s905 (Beelink Non Branded)
    All good.

  • Change DNS settings

    Quote from kodiuser1


    Hi all, I'm running @kazac build on my S905x box. I can't seem to find anyway to add a DNS setting in the box.
    Is there any way or do I have to do it in my router?

    Router is the only way i've managed this.
    I have Cable Broadband and that Modem Router is locked into the isp DNS and cannot be changed.

    The way around that is to plug my Airport Extreme router into it and use that Network, then change the DNS on that.

    Tested kszaq Jarvis build 7.0.3.11 on Beelink MXIII II, no boot issues for 5 consecutive reboots. Android firmware version, as said in my previous post, is 108M0. I can't find any websites to download this image, only found 104M0 (zip) and 106M0 (img).

    That is Good news for Beelink MiniMX iii ii s905x boxes. Now to find the Firmware ?
