Thank you Compent.
Can you share any suggestion to move from 18 to 19 on this device?
Any feedback is really welcome
REGARDS!
Generally you can simply apply the latest update .tar file and it should work fine.
But it is worth while running a backup so that you can go back if you need to and then consider a fresh install.
You will likely find that if all goes well then when you try to shut down, the box will reboot instead.
This is because of the DTB file, that requires an older version but let me know if this does happen and I’ll post an easy solution for you.
THANKS!
I will try and share the result.
Have a nice day!
Same as @Compent I’m still using my A95X Max running CoreELEC on a daily basis.
Because quite a few add-ons and skins are either not compatible with v19 or need updated versions I decided to do a clean install of 19.2 rc3. As expected I found my A95X Max then rebooted when it should shutdown. As I’ve done with previous versions I replaced the 19.2 rc3 dtb.img file with the one from CoreELEC 9.2.2 and that restored the shutdown function back to normal. I used the Transparency skin on previous CoreELEC and Kodi versions but this is one of the skins which has not been updated for v19. I tried all the ones that are v19 compatible and settled on Metropolis which for me is a great replacement for Transparency.

HI all,
I’ve simply put a stable version on Update folder and update. Probably is not the best way to do but no problem experienced.
I must install many addons that do not work in the new version, before be sure that anything works fine.
on the new version an issue experienced in the past version is still present: when I decide to switch off kodi it simply restart but does not switch off.
Any suggestion?
(it’s a minor issue, i do not care really)
REGARDS and thanks to @Compent for his support!
Firstly you will need the right DTB file, which you can get here.
Then you need to SSH into the box (I use WinSCP with the graphical interface)
There is more than one way to achieve things but the quickest for me is to navigate to root and then open up the flash directory.
Then open up a terminal and enter the command mount -o remount,rw /flash
Then copy the downloaded DTB to the flash directory, which will automatically overwrite the existing one.
Then reboot (type reboot in terminal or from the CE GUI or your TV/monitor)…
Note that every time you update CE you will need to run the same process.
I created a little script to make it easier for me as I always use the nighties, so do it regularly.
Hi all,
today switching on my A95X max I receive an error message:
Kernel panic - not syncing attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00007f00
SMP Stopping secondary CPUs
kernel offset: disabled
Memory limit: none
rebboting in 5 seconds
I’ve removed my disk from the A95X Max (I’ve two partitions, one for data and one for OS), I’ve formatted the OS partition,…
but, the error appeared again (using the last N Build)
Any suggestions?
Regards and …Merry Christmas!
