Hi there,
Just got my unit. Everything runs smooth on the base android firmware (running nightly 20260418), except for one critical issue: using Wi-Fi causes a hard lockup and the box reboots.
Since standard persistent logs couldn’t catch it, I did a live capture of /proc/kmsg right up until the crash.
Here is the log: https://paste.coreelec.org/RememberNyazian
Any ideas on what might be causing this? Thanks!
Yes, buy cheap, buy twice…
Use your own USB-LAN adapter.
Can someone try latest nightly 20260423 if maybe, just maybe CE is booting now.
It boots! very good job 
Maybe I should mention that firmware must be UKG3.250826.001.V816.0.7.0.UZFAABX. Because this one had issue not booting CE.
do you think it will break with the next android update?
Probably not. But no one knows that.
it works guys it starts
I have just purchased one of these and updated to latest firmware UKG3.250826.001.V816.0.7.0.UZFAABX.
Enabled developer options
Enabled usb debugging
Then adb reboot update
worked first time.
Using current nightly build.
I get better wifi results coming from tox3 (100mbits/sec), xiaomi (250mbits/sec) same as my intel nuc (wifi6).
The one thing that concerned me was running coreelec from a usb 2.0 port but its not really a issue, Coming from a tox3 that was using coreelec installed on emmc.
I am using a ugoos ur-01 remote and created a configuration to shutdown kodi (so tv and avr will shutdown) with the power button, As there is no ir reciever, Thanks to this forum.
The only major issue I have is sometimes wifi drops, even from bootup sometimes does not connect.
Overall I am impressed with this device and yes I play 4k remuxes, and only have wifi available not wired so this box suits my needs and at a good price.
The 2g ram is also not an issue coreelec only uses about 75% of this.
Is support for this device going to continue?, Shame if not as your so close.
Thanks in advance
Hello,can anyone run CPDT benchmark(available on play store:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Saplin.CPDT ) on their Box S 3rd gen and post results here,I was struggling to find test results for this TV box.
Hi,
I have a TP-Link UE300 USB-LAN adapter, and after connecting it, I only see available Wi-Fi networks in the settings, not a wired connection. Here’s the output from the lsusb command:
2357:0601 TP-Link UE300 10/100/1000 LAN (ethernet mode) [Realtek RTL8153]
Is this adapter supported by CoreElec? I have the latest nightly version installed.
RealTek RTL8153 is one of the most common ethernet chips around, it’s supported in CE-NO. Post logs.
EDIT: I’ve tested the 8153A and 8153B in CE-NO. There is also the 8153C & 8153D, I don’t know if the current 8153 driver supports these.
This one works with Xiaomi 3 rd gen (Android and CE) Amazon.com
After connecting the adapter, only this is displayed in dmesg
[ 96.764808] usb 3-1.1: new high-speed USB device number 5 using xhci-hcd-meson
[ 96.873684] usb 3-1.1: New USB device found, idVendor=2357, idProduct=0601, bcdDevice=30.00

[96.873707] usb 3-1.1: Serial Number: 000001000000
I don’t know if there are any other logs I could check.
See if the r8153 driver is loading (r8152)
CoreELEC:~ # lsmod | grep r8152
If not listed, run
CoreELEC:~ # modprobe r8152
Check if the TPlink id is one of the ones listed in the r8152 driver
CoreELEC:~ # modinfo r8152 | grep 2357
Maybe the driver isn’t binding to the device. bcdDevice=30.00 suggests it’s either a 8153a or 8153b, and should be fine if it uses that driver.
CoreELEC:~ # modprobe r8152
modprobe: FATAL: Module r8152 not found in directory /lib/modules/5.15.196
EDIT: enabled the r8152 module, check tomorrows nightly to see if it works for you.
Ok I see the problem, CE-NO only has the r8153_ecm module enabled which has a limited lists of devices that it binds to. I’ll check into enabling the r8152 as well.
I installed the new nightly update and the adapter seems to be working properly.
iperf3 shows around 350 Mbits/sec.
Thank you.
Bluetooth Standby for Coreelec [Xiaomi LED] [Ugoos UR-01 Remote].zip (6.2 KB)
Thanks to this forum I have made this.
On the Xiaomi there is no IR, So wake it up is impossible.
Extract this pack to you CoreElec install.
Using this will shutdown Kodi, But keeps Bluetooth connected.
Setup CEC to shutdown TV & AVR.
Here I am using a Ugoos UR-01 remote, If using different you need to edit the .hwdb file.
The only thing that would stop this working is the EV device number set, I only have a USB stick in both my Xiaomi’s and the EV device number is the same on both.
If you are using a USB hub along with other devices then the EV device number will defer from one set.
Also I have added LED control, Turn off LED in CoreElec settings for this to work otherwise be permanently on.
Along with this script when Kodi is running the LED is on, When you press the Power button on your remote Kodi will shutdown then CEC will shutdown your TV, Then the LED will turn off.
The LED is also useful if Kodi crashes due to us having to use nightly builds.
This does not fully shutdown the Xiaomi but it only draw about 1.8watts anyway. The Vero V works in similar way but via internal USB.
The script looks really clean and organised 
Thank you!
Would you be able to make something like this but without using remote? Using cec signal from tv/avr when it boots to wake up kodi and when it goes to sleep shut down kodi?
