Thanks alot, but will I be able to compile it for the latest kernel which is 5.3.0-rc5 ?
Also I will try this source with 4.9 also.
No, the latest kernel is useless for Kodi.

Ah, But then on 4.9 can I have a working Desktop environment with X11?
CoreELEC is a just enough OS for Kodi, not based on X11.
Yes I am aware of it 
Just trying to understand if things are possible or not, If is it possible then I can give it a try 
So I send mine back. The Nic Port ist Not working…
I hate it 
I’m not sure if a update happened last night or when the last auto update took place my vim3 is still showing 20/08/2019 nightly but today when I try to navigate gui with video playing this happens, it happens while playing locally stored videos and streamed content. I’ve never seen it happen before and I havnt changed any settings. The video is short because of maximum upload limit but you can see everytime I press remote to navigate gui while video is playing the screen goes crazy https://discourse.coreelec.org/uploads/default/original/2X/2/22bca96cde0af064f5d11da04efcc029df1e99f4.MOV
Need to wait for tonight’s nightly release.

Your issue looks something similar to mine but I am not using corelec though still the same graphic glitch.

Hopefully tonight’s nightly fixes it for coreelec but if your having the same problem with a different OS it might not be a CE issue

I tried this but it didnt work, Might be 2 reasons.
- the dtb which works for my VIM3 is “meson-g12b-s922x-khadas-vim3.dtb” which is not present in the dtb directory as it only have A311D which didnt seem to work for me in most of the OS’s I tried to boot from the USB. To solve this I tried using the dtb from manjaro built and that didn’t seem to work.
- You mentioned SD Card but I tried with USB Stick only, as currently I dont have any sd card to test with.
Is the image only for use with SD Card?
Same issue with that video on S905X (kernel 3.14).
You need to use the DTB from CoreELEC. Don’t go mixing and matching DTBs across different OSes because they are not cross compatible.
Use CE DTB for CE.
