Report about Amlogic S905X4 HK1 RBOX X4

When no WiFi is working we need the info about the assembled chip:
udevadm info /sys/bus/sdio/devices/* | paste

I thought the HK1 devices with the the JL2xxxx didn’t support BT but here is mine

As explained in the article, you are provided with a link which you paste into your support request.

Ok
Thankyou for everything

I have spent alot of time on this for no reason really
I do not need to test this NE
I used USB drive to test so have made a backup and will go back to latest matrix nightly
Everything is good.
And then move to nexus aplha 3 ng

Looks like i have more reading to do
Again thanks for help

I tested CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-19.5-Matrix_nightly_20221014-Generic and the slow gigabit LAN is still not fixed. Its working fine on CoreELEC-Amlogic-ne.arm-20.0-Nexus_nightly_20221007-Generic.

Sorry to tell you that CE-19 & CE-20 use 100% same kernel with the JL2xx1 fix. So it must be on your side that it does not work with one of these versions.

Best try clean, fresh install and check again.

I did a fresh install using the Ng nightly and it didn’t work. So something is not right here

You migth need to post dmesg | paste from both your boxes. I know mine aren’t interpreted exactly the same but both work.

Hey emveepee

Curious about something?

Your second box the Mxiii Pro X4
With ah 232… firmware
What is date on Firmware
What is date on kernel?

Also Home Screen/laucher in Android more resembles Hk1x4 with Task Cleaner(paint brush upper right corner) ?

Or more like Vontar with customizable Home Screen
No Task Killer?

Happy Testing

It is RQ3A-210805.001.A1eng.usr.20220622.141212 5.4.125 with August 5 2021 security patch.

I haven’t found the original one yet to try Slimbox or Superceleron buiilds. It is similar to HK1 with the task cleaner.

I tried download CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-19.5-Matrix_nightly_20221014-Generic.img and start fresh.

Got the LAN connected but it return a different ip vs my network. Then I connect to the wifi and manage to get some logs as below:

http://ix.io/3YvS
http://ix.io/44yf
http://ix.io/4dxk

When i tried connecting to wifi, it auto reboots a couple of times. Some how when i tried to connect the LAN, it manage to get the correct ip of my network. Hope the logs will help

After rebooting the LAN ip is wrong again: below is the log

You have also a refurbished eMMC with no MAC burned in.

Please try this if you get a “valid” mac address:

by coreelec='mac=${ethaddr}' in config.ini

Thanks for info
These dates all line up with Transpeed, HK1X4,Vontar, Firmware released in 06 20 22
Vontar was 06 21 22
Your other box us 06 22 22 i guess

After joining here i dont even use Android much.
Iam hooked on CoreELEC.!!!

Have been reading about latest slimboxtv
May give ut a try
All this talk about being able to shut off LED
(Top left corner of box)

With CoreELEC can already do this

CoreELEC Configuration
Hardware
Device Tree
System LED
There are options here!!!
I have set to off

CoreELEC ahead of the game!!!

Of course it still glows red
Very dimmly.
Only way to kill
Is to unplug powe supply.

Will test slimboxtv and see if same

Happy Testing

But the LAN works perfectly on the Nexus nightly. Since it can work on the Nexus nightly, can it be make to work on the Matrix nightly too?

CE-19 and CE-20 is same kernel, so it’s something wrong on your side.
You have done only logs for 19.5 but not for 20.0. Make them and compare what is difference.

curious, what in the log shows that the emmc is refurbished? got some cheap boxes lying around from various vendors and soc’s that i would be interested in seeing if any of them did the same.

Also if i might ask does the refurb emmc really affect running another os from the sd card since i guess all data being transferred is using the sd card? i mean yea i would much rather be getting quality hardware and stuff but im not sure if that one such cost cutting measure makes that much of a difference if you never plan to use the baked in os.

I tried with this CoreELEC-Amlogic-ne.arm-20.0-Nexus_nightly_20221007-Generic.img and 1000LAN works perfectly. Not sure which JLXXX chip I have in my box. However I tried with the lastest nightly and it broke the LAN again. Not sure what is in CoreELEC-Amlogic-ne.arm-20.0-Nexus_nightly_20221007-Generic.img that makes it work

Hope this can help to solve the JLxxx chip drama
Below is the log

There is no more ne nightly available for download?
