NEW - Lollipop - wasser firmware 3.0.6 for Minix Neo X7

[karel]

@karel : Have you already patched the official XBMC Gotham release in addition to RC1? If so could I kindly request a copy...

Did stafsrom ever release a patched libmedia.so for KitKat not having the known issues with Skype and similar apps?

I just tried that version and it does not handle DTS sound
all that comes through is a mushy noise

Today i flashed the newest 0.95 Wasser kitkat, and i still have the same problem:

Once i assign a static IP for ethernet, the box cannot boot anymore. I get a boot-loop showing the 4 spots doing their morning gymnastics

Is this really unfixable?

Are you using a mix of dhcp and static IP addresses, if so make sure the dhcp IP range on your router does not overlap your static addresses

are you sure that you flashed 0.95 firmwate. This bug was in 0.92 and fixed in 0.95.
i cannot reproduce it. it works for me. Could someone else reproduce this issue?

Did you perform a fresh install or did you try to update from 0.92? If you tried to update, what was the method you used?

[flemming]

The file is called 'wasser-firmware-minix-x7-0.95.img' so it must be the newest one.

I updated from Quickshot 2 rom, using the tool included in Wasser's package. It did look like it wiped the box initially. Log said, 'erasing IDB' or something.

I am pretty sure that it's not about scopes on the DHCP or anything, because i use the exact same IP setup as is given to me initially from my DHCP (i take the dynamic settings and type them into the static IP page).

What really is kinda funny, is that i have the exact same problem when i tried this other rom, from 'cloud solutions' or something like that. It is the one mentioned here by user 'genny' on Minix forums:

Aw, maybe i have a bad box, or a booboo in my network Will commence investigation immediately, and report back if i discover anything interesting.

As soon as i flash a 4.2.2 rom, the problem is gone. I should mention that i run DD-WRT on my router.

Wasser's rom is just so damn sexy, i really really want it

Hey! what is your method to do nfs work ?

No way with : busybox mount -o rw,intr,hard,nolock -t nfs 192.168.1.104:/volume1/Films /mnt/sdcard/nfs/Films.... Command via terminal is OK but /mnt/sdcard/nfs/Films is empty!

Same method succed with Stock X7 rom, or Quickshot 2 rom, but no way with this 4.4.2....

Someone have a working method to mount nfs folder in this rom? Thx.

Try turning your router off and see if you still have the same issue with booting if you do its a firmware issue.

It is good particle not to set your static IP address in the range of dhcp, if you can, configure your dhcp range on the router and allocate your IP address outside that range e.g. dhcp 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.128 then set your static IP to 192.168.0.130. Alternative is to reserve the IP address you want against the MINIX Mac address

I did a lot of testing today

Using wireless, i can assign static IP with no problems. Also using my phone as hotspot, no problems

I tried both DD-WRT and Open-WRT on my router, and both gave me bootloop with cable connection and static IP. Also, both Wasser and that 'Cloud solution' rom i mentioned earlier behaves exactly alike; wireless good, cable no good.

Since i tried two router firmwares with same problem, the problem should be with the router's hardware. May be, but seems a little unlikely? Also all the flashing means that the router was 'factory reset' lots of times unfortunately i don't have another router to test with.

Well, i can let the bootloop run a long time, and then if i turn off the router, or simply unplug the ethernet cable from the X7, then it boots immediately from the bootanimation.

(What REALLY happens: The 4 spots are dancing on-screen for a few seconds, then they do a very short pause. This is where the X7 desktop appears under normal conditions, but immediately after the pause the 4 spots starts dancing a few seconds again. This goes on forever... a few seconds dancing, then short pause. If i turn off router or disconnect cable from X7, then it goes to desktop at the next pause, just like it would at a normal boot)

All in all, i did not have success, but atleast i learned a bit from my research I am very grateful for all the help and input you guys give me, and i will not give up my quest for static ethernet IP.

Please let me know if any of you would have more ideas to maybe discover my problem. I am kinda fanatic about running Wasser Kitkat so i will go VERY far.

Flemming, as a net engineer, i adivse you to systemise your addressing through DHCP and reservations, that was my workadround so far, also, you are using DD-WRT, whoever is capable of installing that knows enough to sort out a private network

regarding the issue, it seems that the rom doesnt continue with booting before it processes the DHCP acknowledgement (DHCP server letting you know your details), for some reason it seems to reject it...there are methods to troubleshoot if this is occuring, i am not aware of any Wireshark for android, you might need a second device.
