[trebor]

What are you saying, you plug it in switch it on and see what it does, I have done the bassics....rest can add easy....
Still have to test USB and HDD and a few other bits...and being 8.1 and all the new stuff, have to wait for Kodi and all the others to catch up..

Hi guys

-pls be patient such as when you bought your device!
wait couple of days even weeks and "recognize" well your device and than make/look etc., for the "ROM"s
do not jump it suddenly

Hi bergamesk, thx you to be worried

I've fix the issue, I post this video for people which could have this problem

[trebor]

So far so good, all back together and the usual easy startup as seen with most AMlogic 905X2,,,
Running Android 8.1 has it own UI Launcher as will see later
Root switch, and I see Upper and Lower Bars
An OTA update as I just switched on so lets see what that can do

Nothing Obvious yet found in OTA just fixes and Optimisation so who knows.
Weather fails to work with location etc.
Bench testing about the same as other 905X2 to date,
Fast Ram read and right
Wifi and Ethernet appear all good here,
Remote working fairly well,
Clock display not to in you face.
Temps not to bad and working ok With Logitech K400 Plus.

Let's have a look at what it has to offer.

Ui and stuff of Interest:






Current OTA update



DRM: Info L3


Ram and Storage Truth:



WiFi and Ethernet:



Sd Card test:




CPU-Z:





Antutu:






GeekBench CPU and Compute:





AIDA64:

Not sure why you would need SU as it has root switch in setting

On with the Mass destruction part of this Show and Tell
A95X MAX S905X2 4GB DDR4 64GB eMMC 4K Android 8.1
Support SATA 2.5 inch SSD/HDD Dual Band WiFi Bluetooth Gigabit LAN USB3.0*4 Video Recording with LED Display

Must say apart from Intel Boxes that this reminds me of
I don't think I have ever had to deal with so many screws in and Amlogic Media player.
So value for money in the screw dept.

Let's do it .

Removed the Sata Bracket and Faux Copper:


All the outer bits removed.


TopSide:


Under Side:


Chips On the Under side, looks like a fan socket ?


Sata:


Closer


Display:


Ports:



Also Should mention screws are supplied to mount HDD to Bracket,

I note also it's supplied with a 2.5amp power supply, (got an AU one also) should be ample to drive HDD.
But if you load the other ports with non powered devices, with HDD installed, it may not be a happy chappy,
Using a SSD over a Platter type would also assist in less power usage.

This I will look further into later.

More after i find where the cat has flicked all the screws and get it back together..

Thanks to our friends at Geekbuying today we get to have a close look at the

A95X MAX S905X2 4GB DDR4 64GB eMMC 4K Android 8.1
Support SATA 2.5 inch SSD/HDD Dual Band WiFi Bluetooth Gigabit LAN USB3.0*4 Video Recording with LED Display

Highlights as Found:

Android 8.1
A95X MAX is one of the first TV Boxes to run on Android 8.1 (an update to Oreo). This software update allows for a great user experience with steady performance.

Amlogic S905X2
A95X MAX runs Android Oreo on Amlogic S905X2, an upgrade of its S905X predecessor with the same quad-core Cortex A53 cores paired with a ARM Dvalin MP2 GPU but adding VP9 hardware decoding, which is the absolute mainstream decoding formats around the global.

DDR4 4GB RAM + eMMC 64GB
It uses a DDR4 4GB RAM and an eMMC 64GB for better performance, security and reliability.

2.4G/5G Dual Band WiFi
With support for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz band, it can transmit higher amounts of data.

True 4K Media Player
While your average media box might only accept 1080P video playback, this gadget plays just about any 4K source.

Must say it is a impressive looking device and that remote again a real looker if i say so myself
as you will see this is loaded with ports and has the ability to take upto a 2TB HDD..
Be interesting to see how this was all works out tru sata bridge or just tagged onto USB, whatever it should be ok for the intended purpose we can hope

Let's have a look see:

The Box:




What's in the Box: Good looking remote


The look around: Lots of USB's and other normal goodies





Underneath:


Pop Top: Love the Faux Copper look
May have noticed small switch above network/HDMI port: HDD location

Hi,kanzi
Bad news!

hope you will fix it in soon

Therefore I bought this Device today fm Geekbuying(RAM4GB+ROM64GB)
Meanwhile I already use N6 MAX(RK3399 with very bad FW and a lot of important issues!)

I always worry about those ROMs!!

Let me ask you why you flashed?? or whats happened with stock ROM??

#Super SU - Super Issue

Hi,

Super SU bricked my box. after updating binaries and rebooting, I've got now the A95X logo and nothing else

So, I tried

• reset by AV port
• wipe data / factory reset from stock recovery

then, I dl A95X Max 20190109 firmware from geekbuying ( #11 thx trebor )

• Burn Card Maker (with or without reset press, don't boot on SD Card)
• USB Burning Tool (2.0.8, 2.1.2, 2.1.6) I can connect on W10 pro 64 but when I load the img file i got "key file not exist" message.

maybe I need the license folder with A95X Max mac_ether.ini, in USB Burning Tool or a way to write the MAC adress from sticker...
what i'm sure is I need your help to fix that.

thx

Today after one day of fun, I regret that I bought ... At first, the USB flash sticks are does not work !!!
USB keyboard and mouse works. It is, clearly, still a very young device...

Next problem when HDMI connecting to the old Philips TV 37PFL8404H (HDMI 1.3):
