hi all,
I have a x96 mini s905w 2g which was working for the last few years with coreelec v9.2.8 from a 2gb microsd card (also had dual booting to atvexperience rom). I was using the internal storage as the coreelec “storage” partition and everything was fine.
last month I was suddenly getting disconnected from my network (it was a wired connection) so the box was unreachable via ssh, yatse app etc (though strangely sometimes some utils i had running on it like transmission were connectable via remote apps, but even this stopped working randomly) and it required a few reboots for it to start working ok. thinking it may have been due to a microsd card corruption I tried to re-flash it with rufus (same version 9.2.8).
at first I ran into an issue where it was not booting from the sd card and even booting into android didn’t work as it would get stuck at the loading screen. I tried it with 2 different sd cards but no go. finally I was somehow able to get it to boot into coreelec installation from twrp.
now after the fresh install it doesn’t connect at all to the wifi or to wired. it says “input/output error” and then reverts to “status:idle”, after reboot it keeps asking for the wifi password, when I enter it sometimes kodi just freezes up & then seems to reboot to main menu. I’ve tried this with 2 microsd cards and also now tried CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-19.5-Matrix-Generic.img but it is the same issue.
can it be some coincidence that both microsd cards (& earlier the internal storage) are all corrupted or does this look like a network adapter/hardware fault?
if I do have to buy another microsd card the ones available are only 64gb & up. will that be compatible?
should I try the team coreelec ceemmc tool to install CE to internal eMMC storage? I saw the guide but didn’t understand how do I use it & give the commands especially if I am not able to ssh into the box?
