bobones - you're a superstar....MANY THANKS for your posts here!
Would not have purchased this box without your advice here, or updated to openelec on the original I bought and now I have a new revision board which, eventually, I have updated to your 6.01 (50Hz solved my audio issue after disc_cap salvaged my black screen).
MANY thanks once again - hope you continue to keep an interest in the x4, even if you move on to 'better' boxes.

Good day gorgeous peoples, apologises for the hijack (please (re)move if necessary).
Bit of a nOOb here with all this Openelec/kodi stuff (more familiar with Android/Kodi setup).
Anyway, Ive been tasked with attempting to fix a friends Cyclone X4 Box that he purchased from a box seller (against my advice).
Currently running Openelec (unofficial) 5.0.6 (kernel-Linux 3.10.61) and Kodi 14.2. Git:e7ba06f.
Now the majority of the time, it gets stuck on the Kodi splash screen and won't go any further, once in a while it will load (allowed me to get above info) but ends up freezing at some point. Ive tried restoring the firmware as per Sumvision web instructions but that just fails.
Can anyone point me the right direction or advise on how to (if possible), wipe the Openelec OS and revert back to Android OS.
Cheers for any help
Stu

Which version of OpenELEC are you flashing? Which Sumvision Cyclone do you have: is it a Mk1 (paper label) or Mk2 (printed)? Try flashing 5.0.8 update.zip then bootloader.zip in same flash.

The label on the underside of the box, but sorry, I won't be able to help you with that custom ROM.

Lol, i guess so. Can you please advise on openelec? I think i will give it a go.
The reason i have not tried openelec yet is that the amlogic versions dont look like they have kodi 16.1. But hopefully they will be updated.
Should i install the latest version of openelec tv110 (6.01 i think) or install the 5.08 that you mention above?
*EDIT*
So i've installed OE 5.08 but i cant get the amremote_config command to work. It says "not found"??
As its a read only filesystem i can't push the file into the /etc folder with ssh.

Sticker means it's the original X4 so 6.0.1 should work fine without needing a disp_cap file. Kerber seems to be concentrating on other boxes for his new ports so this may well be the last OE for these boxes. I can't remember, but the command may just be "remote_config" on OE. In any case, just drop it in the config folder and reboot.
