Quote from ilmich

please, reboot the board because the kernel log is rotated and the first messages are lost.

Hello! It doesn't work for me either, in the new version the wifi doesn't see anything

V88 Plus 4K

use a wired connection, ssh into your box (or putty if u still use that complete shambles of an OS called windoze lol), run a dmesg and see what the logs are saying about wifi

hi

SD boot works on a cheapo Scishion V88 4k box i got secondhand off ebay

in theory it has 8gb eMMC but sadly the burning tool says no eMMC found

any solution to this?

cheers

edit: is this any use?

Did you push in the button with a tooth pick? If that is not working you might have to open it up and short a couple of traces to force it into recovery mode.

I got a bit further (by running as sudo) but it is bombing out

I think I need to bin this one now cos it's taking up too much of my time.....

which is probably better spent trying to find an image and dtb that works on the F2 A95X

Quote from chewitt

the easiest way to get things working again would be to use Amlogic burning tool to restore the correct factory image for the box

well I use arch linux and I tried to use this https://github.com/khadas/utils but it's made for ubuntu and apt won't install on arch so I've drawn a bit of a blank.....I did actually put the original image back on the F2 box but I can't remember what I used lol.......it was defo a command line utility but I've built a new PC and slept a few times since then.......so more

nice day to you sir

edit: right I tried this https://github.com/Stane1983/aml-linux-usb-burn

but I'm getting

Waiting for Amlogic device to be connected...

even though I can see it with lsusb

Bus 005 Device 006: ID 1b8e:c003 Amlogic, Inc. GX-CHIP

bahh!!!!

Quote from chewitt

S905X boxes should work quite well, S905X2 less so (unless hardware decode disabled) .. "but nothing" doesn't really describe a problem that would could respond to

fair comment lol

ok so this box has been 'dead' for over a year, maybe 2, it's used to have one of 'balbes images' burnt to the internal mmc but I 'hosed it' one day with a 'dodgy upgrade'

I downloaded your latest LibreELEC-AMLGX.arm-10.85.0-box.img.gz image, changed the uenv.ini to meson-gxl-s905x-nexbox-a95x.dtb but absolutely nothing on the TV (using the toothpick method)

at least when I tried an image with the F2 box I could see the A95X splashscreen on the TV

yours confused

me again

I've dug out a Nexbox A95X with 2gb ram, S905X

i tried it with chewitt test build but nothing, any ideas on that one?

thanks again!

morning guys

any builds for my old F2 A95X with a S905X2 please? seems a shame to waste something with 4gb ram lol

cheers and have fun!

hi dtech

I've got a F2 A95X with s905x

I tried your image for MXQ-4K but it just hangs at the A95X boot image

any ideas to get it working?

cheers

dtech no sd card, I must have had openelec on there before I installed libreelec and I think it's getting the openeelec logo in something like 'bootloader config' before kodi even loads?

where do I find the uboot settings?

cheers

Quote from dtech

My HD18Q image from the LE 9.2 branch can be used on the MK808B+

hey dude thanks for that! I had one in a box from donkies years ago and just updated from 7.90beta4 lol

it still has an openelec splash screen on boot, any idea how to get rid of that?

and even though it says CEC connected on startup it doesn't recognise my Samsung remote?

thanks again!

Quote from adm

nexbox a95x

tried it on mine, sound not working here either...neither is cec or wifi....think I'll throw this box in the bin

Box is an F2 S905X2 4gb ram 32gb mmc

Doesn't boot, doesn't load libreelec....tried loads of builds mainly balbes.....

I can get it to load coreelec from an SD card BUT only if I hold the reset button in EVERY BOOT, purpley screen then release

After it has booted I can ssh in and see this

Is this symptomatic of a knackered bootloader?

Is there anyway to rewrite mmcblk0 the internal flash?

the memory chip is kmrx10014m if that helps

Thanks!

Any of these builds work on a Nexbox A95X or an F2 with S905X2? that's got an AP6255 if that means anything...

I've used balbes builds in the past but now I can't get anything working on either of them!

OR anyone recommend a new box for like cheap?

What's a rockchip RK3328 like? I saw one of them with 4gb for dirt cheap on ali.....I know I don't need 4gb it just sounds good

Or I might just have to repurpose my PI4???
