X96 MAX+ vs coreelec

Hi, I stuck. I bought a x96 MAX PLUS, I’d like to install the CoreELEC to it. 1. I download the image form coreelec.org, this: CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-9.2.5-Generic.img.gz, unzipped with 7zip 2. Burn the CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-9.2.5-Generic.img to a 32 GB MicroSD card. Cpoy sm1_s905x3_4g_1gbit.dtb to the root and rename it to dtb.img. After that copy remote.conf to the root as well. 3. I put the card to the off stated box, push and hold reser button in the AV hole and put it under power. wai…

Where is the reset button on the X96 Max? I am having problems getting emuelec to boot, mine is stuck on the boot screen.

Stick a toothpick in the AV port. You’ll notice there’s a switch (quite deep inside).

For the record, I have similar problems with a recent X96 Max Plus 4G/32G/1000M. My box, though is a Q2, with a firmware 20201209-1446, look here for my report: Boot issue with X96 Max Plus Q2 4G/32G/1000M (stock firmware 20201209-1446)

Dont unzip the image. Burn the zip file you downloaded
