I have the nexbox a95x 2gb/16gb and I can confirm that after flashing Xanny's rom wifi is lost and the reset switch is not working anymore. The toothpick method cannot be used for restoring the original firmware or installing libreelec. I've found a simple way that involves the update&backup app. You have to follow the normal instructions for flashing firmware or libreelec and then copy the original nexbox recovery.img and a dummy Update.zip file to the sd card. Then run the Update&Backup app and select the Update.zip from the sd card and update. The box will reboot and install the firmware or libreelec. I hope this will be useful

thanks a lot fo sharing... i would like to give a full working rom to nexbox users, but there are 4 different chip for the same device but with different memory setting, so i should compile a fw for every device, is insane, so... i won't do that.

Is there an easy way to test whether Xanny's kernel has support for the ap6330 chip of the nexbox a95x 2gb/16gb or is it limited to the now working chips?

easy way...? i can build a new version with ap6330 modules taken from a nexbox fw added, but probably will not work, just for fun i will if you'll test it for me. Just pm me.

[jmgandia]

For an easy way I was referring to something like: copy ap6330 drivers to wifi folder, change that config file and reboot, so to not have to build a new firmware. I don't know if it's possible. If kernel has a limited known list of chips that can only work it'll be useless.

i don think it can be done as mentioned by Xannytech before.

It's not so simple, wifi modules (drivers) normally will not work on a different kernel build, i tried, but did not work

wait a little i will give you a link with just kernel modules... it's just a test

copy AP6330 folder in /system/etc/wifi . Obviously give to it the right permissions AP6330 folder permissions 755 and give 644 to all the file inside the folder. Reboot and let me know.
eventually do some experimentations with them cause in the original fw the path is like this : /system/etc/wifi/AP6330/Wi-Fi/(all the config and .bin files) in my custom the wifi folder is :
/system/etc/wifi/(wifichipname)/(all the config and .bin files)
So maybe you can try first the original path then moving all the config and .bin files just in AP6330 folder.
I hope you understand what i meant

[Xannytech]

Because the user do not replied yet... some other with AP6330 could kindly do this test for me?

[jmgandia]

I just test it and it works. I was checking all possible configuration of name folder and with/out wifi folder, and it only works with the name and structure like the original rom. Only had to change permissions.

so i will add AP6330 wifi modules in next rom
Any other users with wifi problem would like to do other test with different modules, so i will add them in next more universal release.

I was trying to figure out why the toothpick method is not working after flashing Xanny's firmware. I reflash the original recovery of the nexbox a95x 2gb/16gb and the reset switch doesn't work yet. Maybe something in the rom related to the proper device?

Your reset switch is working, but your original FW has a non standard way to flash, probably is the uboot, i don't know.
the only way i know actually, but i'm happy that you're curious and would like to help, is at this time to flash back TWRP (because you gone back to original recovery), and then use the file i provided to the other nexbox users, the script will flash back uboot, recovery etc, so the device will accept back the odd methos they choose to flash, and with toothpick method you can flash back your original 2/16 fw.
No software can block a reset switch, because the reset is done simply shorcircuiting two wire, no chip, no software.

[Xannytech]

So next version will come out with some more wifi chips support added, i'm not sure all will work, but i'll try to add them, for now we know that ap6330 is working, if someone can give me a list... and would be a tester could be useful.

A little question:
how many of you use VLC?
