I updated from 5.0.8 to this using the tar update method (put in \\openelec\update and reboot). There was no.zip or update.zip built so this is all you can have.

This is for the original X4 only. No support, no warranty, use at own risk, etc.

Don't know. I always had trouble with WiFi not working on Kerber's OE 6 builds after 5.95.3. Why don't you try the 6.0.1 tar update I posted? Copy to \\openelec\update and reboot. You won't brick your box using the tar method because you aren't flashing a boot loader. If you find it doesn't work, you can just reflash using TWRP or put on another tar update.

To tell if you have the new stock without opening the box up just look at the bottom of the unit if there is a sticker saying sumvision x4 in black with coloured writing you can use the tv110 images.

If the bottom of the unit has the sumvision printed on in white (no sticker) you have the new revision board.

New to this forum so please forgive me if I come across a bit untechnical. I've had an x4 running openelec 5.0.8 14.2 successfully up to know but decided to update via the tar method to 6.0.0 15.2, that's when I wished I hadn't, all I ended up with was a black screen and no signal on the TV. I reflashed 5.0.8 using twrp method and all is working again.

My question is can anyone point me to the latest tar update that is working well on the x4.

Appreciate any feedback.

I've figured this out. The newer boxes don't supply valid display capabilities when kodi is initializing (cat /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/disp_cap shows "null_edid"). On OpenElec 5.0.8 this is fine and it defaults to 720p, but you cannot change resolutions via the UI. On later versions, including the 6.0.1 I posted, kodi fails to initialize the windowing system and you just get a black screen. The rest of the system is working so you can still putty in and access the openelec samba shares.

I guessed that the only problem with the port on the newer boxes is null_edid being returned, so I patched the kodi code to first read the file .kodi/userdata/disp_cap before checking /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/disp_cap, so if you create a text file called disp_cap in userdata with some valid resolutions then kodi works fine on the newer boxes.

You can create a disp_cap file either puttying in and using vi or just drop one in \\openelec\Userdata after editing it with wordpad. Something like this will do (from 720/HD Ready TV)::

Code:

480i
480p
576i
576p
720p*
1080i
720p50hz
1080i50hz

but you can add all of the resolutions your TV supports.

Unfortunately, with Kerber dropping the TV110 I suspect this 6.0.1 with 15.2 will be the last we'll get for the X4


Here is 6.0.1 for original and 2nd rev. X4 (non-bluetooth) with userdata disp_cap patch:
