My X96max WIFI and Bluetooth don't work

Unpacking the box, the wireless module is Fn-Link 6222B, it is RTL8822BS

See my post above.

If BT will start working on both boxes, I’ll push the changes and they will be available in the following nightly build.

I unzipped the rar file and uploaded the tar file into the update folder through sftp, but can’t be update because a message appears that says “The update from 3.14 is not supported!”

This is because from the beginning, I installed the Amlogic.img image, not Amlogic-ng.img. Perhaps if I had installed the Amlogic-ng.img from the beginning, Bluetooth would already be working? :thinking:

I think have to download the last Amlogic-ng.img and delete the sistem are installed now.

Thanks guys!

Ah, I thought you had a box with S905X2. You can’t use this image, as it’s meant for S905X2/S922X.
In 3.14 builds the 8723 BT firmware is already there, and should work.

Ah, I see, Amlogic-ng.img is only for S905X2 devices, so I forget it.

My device is updated to the latest Nightly version everyday, but Bluetooth still doesn’t work, maybe I have to do a completely new installation?

PD: I downloaded the last Nightly image and burned it in the MicroSD, a completely new and fresh system was installed. I immediately went to the Bluetooth section but can’t detect devices, maybe I have to write something in SSH

Here is some pictures.

Thanks!

Hi all,
also mine (T95Z Max: s912 2/16/1 gbit - gxm_q201_2g_1gbit.dtb) doesn’t find bluetooth adapter with recent nightly builds (since middle august?): http://ix.io/1TSA

The same works with CE 3.0.

Thanks for helping (or trying to :slight_smile: )

Both of you, please reboot the box and post dmesg log.
dmesg | paste

Here is mine, thanks for your effort: http://ix.io/1TTk

Mine here: http://ix.io/1TUa
Thanks a lot for checking.

@felixwolf I found the problem with BT issue with your box. Looks like it’s the same problem some VIM1 users reported. Hopefully it’ll be fixed in the next nightly build. Please update to it and let me know.

@Vapor Can you post the output for this?
udevadm info /sys/bus/sdio/devices/sdio* | paste

@TheCoolest Here is: http://ix.io/1TUw

Just upgraded to this version,but still can’t find the bluetooth adapter

Can you run udevadm info /sys/bus/sdio/devices/sdio* | paste in this build?

Thanks for the answer.
Meantime: updated to last nightly, and bluetooth is back :slight_smile: … but… now there is no way to trust and connect my two (infamous) Shanwan “Sony PLAYSTATION®3 Controller” clones :frowning: .
They never worked with my old s805 (with libreelec/armbian/lakka: driver issue), but they actually did with s912/Corelec (up to recent nightly builds).
I tried to connect them by usb cable (and they are actually recognized, and can be configure as wired controller), then to trust and connect wireless, both by Kodi gui or ssh (following this and/or this procedure. They keep on blinking, but do not connect…

A fix for some BT devices on 3.14 kernel was pushed yesterday. Try today’s build on your S912, maybe the BT will start working again.
Not sure why it’s not connecting to your controllers, do other devices work?

Yes, thanks: already updated, and bluetooth is working (internal adapter is found)

Yes, bluetooth speaker can connect and works normally.
There was a driver problem with my Shanwan controllers, which has never been solved in the ancient kernel (3.10?) used by aml s805, and prevented them to be used wirelessly.
Apparently, the same behavior is now happening with s912. I could be wrong, of course, but I think I’ve already tried all the trust/connect procedures which previously worked…

Thanks anyway.

Hello @TheCoolest
I’ve update my box the the 20190902 Nightly but still “No Bluetooth device found”
There any hope the get RTL8723BS working on CoreELEC? I found some stuff in this forum that maybe is helpful. https://forum.manjaro.org/t/bluetooth-not-working-with-rtl8723bs-bt/51906/10

Thanks!

my x96max with 20190904ng .The BT is OK now.
