Lately I’ve read lot of report of a non working gigabit LAN of the Magicsee N5MAX, X96MAX, and GT King boxes. One user reported an interesting experience: Brand new X96MAX with DDR4 memory, android 8.1 (a year old version on it), iperf3 down 940 Mbps, up 0-10 Mbps Same on CE OTA update to andro…

Thanks for the advice. I will try to restore the older firmware. Is restoring process similar to upgrading (load the image > start > plug in usb cable for box)?

of course, since this is an update (only an earlier version)

I have a V31R version of X96 Max, so the firmware, recommended here, does not suit me (update won’t start from recovery). So I’ve taken Android 8 firmware for V31R, exactly: x96Max_V31R_20190716-2201 . Which can be downloaded here: https://mega.nz/#!OxJCCYaC!lIHKY9lcsWwM9jUA14o9rV0cwbpyaUkfXqVgGfLN…

Hi, any news about X96 Max issue with the latest Android firmware ? What could I do to help to solve issue ? Or I must go back to an older firmware ? Thank you ! Edit : if I can extract the DTB from Android system, is it useful for you ?

Here is the DTB from X96 Max 4GB/32GB/1Gbit last Android firmware version : dtb.img.gz (254.4 KB)

And here is the DTB from X96 Max 4GB/32GB/1Gbit old Android firmware version (LAN works with this Android version) : dtb.img.gz (255.1 KB) Thank you !

Why don’t you stay on the old Android version if it works on that?

Because I would like to use Android and CoreELEC, and last firmware seems to be more stable than old firmware. But if you cannot do anything with the new firmware, I will stay with the old firmware.

I’m experiencing the same problem with my X96Air (s905x3 4/32 with 1Gbit/s lan). I tested many dtb’s. I also tested nightly builds from 20200615 and it is working better than 9.2.3 (sometimes only 24% of loses with 10000 pings with 32000bytes size) but in general this gigabit LAN interface isn’t usa…

When you will switch to newer kernel e.g. 5.4 on CE ?
