@Menion maybe you are able to try last nightly with inject_bl301?
Doesn’t matter if 9.2 or v19. I fixed something about G12A devices as it needs another blob for a specified time range as Amlogic changed something in source.
So maybe it is working again with your device and firmware. But be aware that you may need to recover your device again if it doesn’t work.
Thank you.
@Portisch maybe you missed my post. I recover the box with a new firmware but this one has an older, already supported, bootloader so I am not able to test it with the newer uboot I had that caused the problem in injection
Aha, I missed this part, yes. Maybe it’s possible for you to flash the non working firmware and try if injection works now? Would just be nice to have confirmation before we doing the next stable release, thank you!
I don’t have the BL301 options on my Odroid N2+ running CoreElec 19 (matrix). It is supposed to be available?
I do have the Wake-on-lan option, and it is activated, but it is working half the time.
Please read forum more carefully!
WOL is working 100%
Yes I read the part where it says that Odroid are already supported, but again, with mine sometime it just does not start.
It seems to work flawlessly if the device is suspended. If I shut it down, sometimes WOL does not start the device and I have to unplug and replug. (I can see the WOL packets on the network)
–
Never mind, the TV is not powering on or prevent Odroid to power on, that’s all. (f**k CEC as always)
How do I find out if my TX3 is capable of using the the injection or not? I got mine via geekbuying, not AliExpress.
Hi, I have a broken M9C Max (S905x_2 / 16) (gxl_p212_2g.dtb) box after having followed the bl301-injection tutorial to the letter.
Process details
*CoreELEC:~ # inject_bl301 *
Starting bootloader blob BL301 injection tool…
This tool can be used to update the bootloader
blob BL301 of the vendor bootloader on the internal
eMMC. This bootloader blob BL301 is customized by
Team CoreELEC to support all wake-up features like
CEC, Wake-On-LAN, IR, and GPIO wake-up from
suspend or power off state!

BL31.img needs to be updated on eMMC
Please confirm to write the bootloader blob BL301 to
the internal eMMC! Please ensure to update first the device
to the last vendor firmware! And remember if the vendor
firmware get updated you have to do this step again as the
bootloader blob will be overwritten!
Continue? [y/n] y
Warning! GXL support is still experimental!
It is possible that the injection brick your device and it will not boot anymore!
It will be needed to short out the eMMC to recover the Amlogic device.
So there is no warranty by team CoreELEC if the injection will be successful or not!
Please confirm again to write the bootloader blob BL301 to
the internal eMMC on your GXL device!
Continue? [y/n] y

Finished update of BL3 blobs on internal eMMC!*
Please reboot device now and enjoy the new CoreELEC wake-up features!
End
After the process, the box remained with the indicator in intense red and does not respond to anything.
After seeing the output through the serial port, I realized that the problem is a faulty bootloader
I attach the backup of the bootloader210a8200e920b23dc5d3eeaaf7d6e0bf_bl301.bin (4 MB)
Is there any way that bl301-injection works for this box?
Sorry for my English
Did you use latest nightly before injection?
nop, the estable version. https://github.com/CoreELEC/CoreELEC/releases/download/19.0-Matrix/CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-19.0-Matrix-Generic.img.gz
Your bootloader is from 2016.
Please search a image with Android 7.
For M9C Max there is only Android 6.0.1
A custom ROM would serve as atvx?
Yes, I use ATV Experience v4 so you can dual boot (I only preserved the bootloader and installed CE 19 on nand with ceemmc -x). It’s a ATV Pie iteration. Also, “universal Aidan’s custom ROM”, 7.1.2 worked for this box.
Great. Could you share the bootloader you are using …?
Try here:ATV Exp 4 register and burn the rom with AML tools.
Or you can try this ATV 7 for 905X.
Both bootloaders are ok for -ng CE
I don’t now how to share my bootloader from the nand. If somebody knows how to I could try to get it for you.
Does new CoreELEC 9.2.7 support BL301 on old 912 devices?
No, and it will not be possible for gxbb and gxm devices.
Thank you, I imagined it but I was hoping for it …
a few months ago I booted into android and I am no longer able to repeat the procedure to load the boot.ini which was well explained on the CoreElec / uboot wiki which unfortunately has been lost
Yes, that wiki was lost unfortunately. And unfortunately gxm and gxbb will have to stay in 3.14. as. We always said any help is appreciated and if someone can offer some solution all PR’s are welcome!
