I have installed the 2.0.8 firmware update and am running the latest Nightly build. Happy to report that everything seems to be running ok so far.

I have two Ugoos AM9 devices.
One of them has been experiencing unexpected restarts since day one.
From firmware version 1.x to the latest version 2.0.8… but honestly, now with version 2.0.8, the restarts happen much less frequently than before with earlier versions.
The last 3 firmware versions have “fixed several system crashes,” but apparently these fixes didn’t solve the problem on my device.
On the other Ugoos AM9 device – zero crashes.
I need to find Ugoos support and ask how I can participate in solving this problem…
You are talking about CE restarts or Android restarts?
If CE then maybe you installation is just broken and make new setup?
This is full device reboot.
I flashed new CoreELEC on another SD card few times already - the same result, so I’m ruling CE out as the root cause.
And there are no kodi crash logs file created, so it’s a pure device crash originating from firmware.
I can see that receiving on my phone notification from the router:
and then new kodi.log is created.
Try to switch power supplies between devices.
Or/And disconnect any additional usb devices that can consume energy.
No USB devices in both boxes, but I will swap power suppliers - thanks for the suggestion.

I know for sure that there is no DV/Fel support for AM9 under CE 22.0 NO..?
The non PRO not, no. No Dolby Vision at all.

i flashed CE no nightly to an usb stick (the generic img), executed “reboot to CoreElec” → “First reboot”, but i still end in the boot menu (where i can select fastboot etc.). Does that in general work? Because then it must be the usb stick. Or is this not implemented and only sd card supported?
