There are other components missing ,so soldering only the microSD won’t be enough to make it work.

Sd card slot would be much slower as the usb3 port.
Hi,
can someone help me with this this problem, please?
I have installed IR receiver into my Box 4K+, uploaded remote.conf to right place.
Everything works properly until the moment I switched device to sleep mode.
After waking it up main screen appeared but system got frozen. From kodi.log a have this record : “Control 1000 in window 13000 has been asked to focus, but it can’t”
But next, after rebooting the device it works fine till the sleep mode.
Thank you very much.
Thank you. I will try it 
Hi
Nokia 8010 I installed Amlogic-ne, New. It was even possible to force ATMOS on Danon X3008h, the problem is that the NETFLIX button in the remote control does not work, is there KEY NOKIA.cfg that will activate this button
I added the microSd slot to my Nokia 8010 so assuming the homatics pcb is similar it should be possible but it requires soldering 0201 components. Magnification and SMD soldering experience is highly recommended.
In addition to the microSD slot I added the following:
- 2x 0 ohm resistor (red)
- 33 ohm resistor (green)
- 1nF capacitor (blue)
- 4.7 k. resistor (yellow)
- 10 k. resistor (magenta)
I didn’t add what I think are ESD (zener?) protection diodes (brown)
The values are educated guesses based on the odroid c2 schematic and these teardown images:

No guaranties but works for me…

Hi,
I don’t own a S905X4 device (yet), but when I compared the different devices with this SOC my favorite was the Nokia 8010, but I was missing a µSD-slot. Now I am curious about the bus speed which can be achieved with this retrofitted slot ? Default speed (12,5MBit/s), high speed (25Mbit/s), SDR50/HDR50 ( 50Mbit/s) or, which would be the optimum SDR104 (104MBit/s) ? For comparision see here:
I am interested in this information because afaik it is not possible to flash coreelec to the internal emmc on S905X4 devices. Therefore my idea would be to use the µSDcard slot to boot coreelec and to use the USB 3.0 port for an USB-Dock like this: LC-DOCK-U3-4B: LC Power
but retrofitting the µSD-slot as boot source would only make sense if the bus speed would be faster than the USB2 port.

I tried a quick read benchmark using hdparm -Ttv /dev/mmcblk1 and I’m only seeing around 22 MB/s. Would be interesting to see if someone with a RockTek G2 gets better results.
Thanks for testing and yes, the question now is if any of the other S905x4 based devices could achieve a better µSD bus speed.
@rho-bot this just happened again and now the Reset Button just boots into Fast Boot Mode instead of CoreElec.
I probably should stop using Android.
After all android Update, you need reset button, or use reboot to CoreElec app, choose first boot option.

Turns out I did not press the reset button long enough, just keep pressing it.
