got a x96 mini 2gb/16gb @ Android 7.1 too. Coreelec (current + nightly) failed with all 212* and 281*.dtb files available in both versions (current + nightly). Stucks right in the x96 mini screen. Inserting an empty SD-Card instead of this filled one and I land in the android rescue menu.
Other boxes here work flawless but this is my first s905w soc. AIDA64 shows that it is not a fake Rockchip or similar.
Seems the device is rooted as I was able to extract /dev/dtb.img and backup it. But as it is 256k sized I assume it is not something I could directly use. Nonetheless I tried and still miserably failed
So what now: how to make it boot or debug boot? And no, I do not have intentions to open the device up (could still send it back - with shipping costs) and also am not owning any UART-connector-stuff.
Today with CoreELEC 9.2.2 after what I have read everything in this fiber I have to use gxl_p281_1g even if I have 2GB version of this X96 but it doesnât work with gxl_p281_2g sadly
Same thing with my x96 mini v2.3. ONLY boot with nightly version and with gxl_p281_1g but my remote wonât work. any One with the same problem? Any solution ?

Then I canât help you. I was trying to help you get the remote working.
Even if you get the remote working, the power on button of the remote will still need to be sorted out.
Using BL injection, you need to search the forum for help with that.
So, after putting the remote files into the correct location, you need too reboot, ( in your case unplug)
@princedoudou i had to use libreelec install tool to make it bootable. Then in android terminal shell type ârebootâ. First take an image from the install tool, later you can install whatever img you like.
