I do not know if this BOX model with rev. b is sometimes not broken :-(? … for now developers are working on it but will it be ok ???
Mine is also rev. b of Amlogic s905x4 chip.
maybe only my BOX/player is faulty ?
Does it (WLAN, LAN) work with pre-installed android?
If not, return it to shop.
The BOX is not really mine and the owner, in addition, damaged the flap when inserting the batteries into the remote control … and now it is difficult to advertise such equipment to the seller. So all that was left was testing. If it fails, it will probably end up in the trash, unless some dondle usb/wifi will work OK, but it’s such a forced prosthesis 
I have Wired network problem with my X96X4 4GB 32GB 1gbit run on 20.0-Nexus_nightly_20230113
Reboot the router many times
Please someone with experience help me in this case:
- Boot from MiroSD, connected to the network ethernet cable but no signal.
- Go to the Connections section and see Wired Interface: eth0, State: ready, Type: auto, Address: 169.254.96.150 (every time the network has problem, I see this IP)
- Go to System Info >> Network and see Link: Connected, MAC=90:0E:B3:58…(exactly the MAC printed in the box). Gateway: blank. It seems that this error has never been caused by MAC.
- Go back to Power Option and click Reboot from eMMC/NAND
- The device boots into Android. Then…
- I turn off the device with the remote control.
- Turn on the box by remote control. It boots into CoreElec.
- Wired internet automatically connects with real IP address same as my network.
- Shut down and reboot with remote control, the device still has Wired internet. But…
- Unplug power and restart, bad thing is come back, no wired internet, have to repeat step 4.
I’m going to give up on this box because it’s been giving me a headache all week. But I regret the effort of remaping the remote control, so I’ll try again this time to see if anyone can help.
With such serious problems, it’s only for CoreElec developers. I did it with my friend’s BOX … if they have the time and willingness, they will help you, but you also have to take into account the fact that it may be necessary to physically deliver the faulty equipment. Sometimes it can be just faulty hardware or wrong android software uploaded because my BOX also worked badly on Android!.. I’m waiting and… maybe it will be OK?
Thanks for your suggestion. In my opinion, if this is a hardware failure then it will never be able to connect to the internet using the ethernet card. Is it possible if the driver of the ethernet card can recognize its presence without activation from Android?
Looking at my settings
Have seen this before
- Wired eth0 state ready
Below this is status of wifi.
And other networks
What is state of wifi?
Read as ready or idle?
Read as ready
Then click on wifi and disconnect.
Should change state as idle
All Wifi works but have been disabled completely to test with Wired connection only.
as a prosthesis can such a usb network card? … apparently it is on the rtl8153 chip
but I haven’t personally checked!

Does it need a driver or is it just plug and play?
Okay
Not what i was referring to.
From your post only issue was when
Hard boot/ loss of power
So i reproduce on Hk1x4 box
Looks like system defaults to saved wifi
In connection you will see both
Eth0
Wifi
Show Ready
That is not online
Box/systems is reading from wifi ip address
With correct mac
Even though shows Ready state not Online
Click on wifi
Disconnect
Now eth0 will change from Ready to
Online
If that makes sense
Happy Testing
I’ve tried everything but it doesn’t work.
I also tried to install on eMMC but it didn’t work:
“Install in single boot mode not possible!
No DT partition was found”
This TV box doesn’t look good. Well, I have to give up.
All S905X4 boxes use single boot only right now.
Dont give up yet
As emmveepee posted
Can single install emmc only
No dual boot…
Also you posted
Coming back from Android
You working ethernet…
Un plug ethernet cable
Go back to wifi
Create desktop shortcut to network device
With wifi ip address.
Then can ssh to box
Post logs etc…
Team CoreELEC will help out
Follow troubleshooting instructions
Happy Testing
I do not know 100% after connecting the model based on Realtek RTL8153 will work on CE but you can search and ask on the forum
or maybe earlier information for CE developers

Yes, I want single boot only but when I used command: ceemmc -x, selected single boot, I got this message:
“Install in single boot mode not possible!
No DT partition was found”
Do you mean using dmesg in SSH?
Yes
Use wifi ip address in Putty/Kitty
**When i first set box up
I create 2 desktop shortcuts
One with wifi ip
The other with eth ip
Then in Kodi/CoreELEC i go to File
Ans add source
Team CoreELEC can do nothing without logs.
Follow the guide from Home page
** apologies for the confusion/desktop shortcut has nothing to do with Putty Sessions.
That is only my Method of Madness
Happy Testing
