I have run into a couple of challenges with this firmware. I am running a X96 Max 4/32 that was previously using the XTMod ATV Rom. First challenge is that I cannot using my phone or tablet to set up. When this option is selected the screen flashes the google steps to use but quickly kicks you back to the start at language selection.

Trying to go things the long way it seems that my wired ethernet is not recognized.

I also noticed that the boxes front display is blank.

The X96Max is a tricky box to get working. I myself have a X96 Max Plus 2 (s905x3) box and had to do some pretty weird things to get the box just to recognize this firmware and get it to flash and even though the front display isn't working on my X96 Max Plus 2 box, the firmware is a lot more stable and functional than the firmware it came with.
I unfortunately do not have a X96Max (s905x2) box to test this ROM on and try to fix the LAN for you (which I see on the XTMod ATV Rom was also a issue on this particular box, but was fixed).

[Parsival]

I have no issue doing the testing as I have 2 of these boxes as well as 2 of the A95x Max boxes.

I have up until this rom had great success with the x96Max with the custom roms. I have only had challenges with this one for the functionality noted above.

I am wondering if/when the Google Sabrina Rom becomes available if that will help... They are using the S905X2 for their device as well.

I am having the same issues as Parsival. Also WiFi is not recognizing any networks. So I can't get past the network page. I don't see a skip to move forward of setup.
[mention]Parsival[/mention] did you fix your issue?

By the way I am using Tanix TX5 Max

Update,

I noticed that when device goes into screensaver mode, the ethernet shows connection. But, I still can't get past the network setup. WiFi does not show any networks. I put my network in manually and it still won't connect. How to skip network setup?

H96 Max X2
surfshark VPN not working
NordVPN NOT WORKING
I hope they fix that problem, with the connection with the VPN

[Parsival]

No I have not fixed my issue. I have tried a different rom in the mean time only to find out it installed twrp as well so I can no longer flash one of my boxes with the AMLogic tool until I can get my hands on a recovery image... If onyone has one handy I would appreciate it... I have a X96 Max 4/32 box.

When you get to "WiFi" screen scroll to bottom of list and hit "Right" key 5 to 10 times the "Skip" should pop-up... don't have this box to try that ROM.
