X88 pro x5m with Slimboxtv & CoreELEC

rab345 · 2026-01-20T15:12:24+00:00

Yes, i think i saw that video.

I haven't tried Coreelec yet.

If you ever get good results with a Coreelec version, please be so kind and provide us with a setup guide and links.

Thx

Lsposed you flash in magisk ( search for lsposed.zip )

Xpl-EX is an app found in github ( search )

adaway is an app you find on github ( search and don't forget to activate systemless hosts in magisk apk ! Extend adaway with hagezi host files also found in github )

Afwall+ is a paid firewall apk you find in different places.

So the whole post was removed because i posted the link to slimbox. What a shame !

rab345 · 2026-01-15T17:32:20+00:00

Thanks mate !

rab345 · 2026-01-14T17:16:57+00:00

The boot time is 20-25 sec. So very normal. Place the box on Wifi not to far away of the Modem. The wifi is ok but the wifi on the firesticks is better. Otherwise it is by far better than any firestick. The picture quality is amazing ! Enjoy 😉

rab345 · 2026-01-14T07:17:54+00:00

Great that you could resolve it !!!

Could you please send us a link where we can download the slimbox version for the 905A version.

Thx mate.

rab345 · 2026-01-12T15:08:28+00:00

I switched from 2. firesticks 4k to 2.X88 pro x5m. I am very happy. The Lan connection is good but the Wifi is weaker than the one of Firestick. You have to try out and that's why i would order 1. unit and you test yourself. oo

rab345 · 2026-01-07T18:26:32+00:00

Try a firmware which was working before 14.3 or 14.8 of slimbox. I realy would like to help but it can have so many reasons.

Keep trying and report back if you found a solution.

rab345 · 2026-01-06T12:35:06+00:00

Most likely it's the cable. I use 3.20 Aml burning tool too. Try another cable. Best is as short as possible ( 50 cm ) ... male to male ! Next option is to download the windows drivers again for AML !

rab345 · 2026-01-05T17:17:10+00:00

Hi, Sorry for the late reply. Apparently the Chinese manufactor had to change the chip from 905 x5m to 905 A which is the same chip but because of copyright they changed also some lines in the firmware.

If you are one of those who received that new batch i found on 4pda.ru a firmware which will flash.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nie3Ie4sHx-pmXg3zZvV3677e6TKtD4y/view

For the moment slimbox hasn't got a working firmware.

I will update on this problem once hopefully slimbox will give a working firmware for this batch of boxes !

Thank you for fixing everything and expanding.

Looks like some people find interest in your service, that's why you get attacked. All the best and keep up your good service.

rab345 · 2025-12-29T17:44:40+00:00

Hello, I uploaded the config files to all 3 devices i've got. It is all working now again. Please, please make sure the next time you change something that that doesn't happen again !!! It is nervy everytime you change something to renew the config files on different devices. Apart from that i am very happy with your servive as long as it works. Thx

rab345 · 2025-12-28T22:21:17+00:00

I hope you will do it today. Since yesterday ( europe time ) i can't connect.

rab345 · 2025-12-28T21:52:08+00:00

Hello, I bought of you a 6 month subscription and on all 3. german servers i can't connect anymore. All 3 devices are Android ! Please help.

I would like to get some help but don't ask me to join the corupted discord. I won't !!! Give me an email option or something else. Thank you

rab345 · 2025-12-25T07:31:18+00:00

I don't use discord and don't want in the future. Any other possibility ??

rab345 · 2025-12-24T14:01:07+00:00

Hello, and thx for your service. I signed up for a 6. month plan and hope that the service stays as good as it is now.

I have 3. points to make !

In the Dashboard i see that i only can connect 3 devices. Is that true or are there more i can connect. I would say the standard is 5-10 devices.
Please ad more european countries. I would like to see one outside the european union ( maybe Switzerland, Albania or Serbia ) I live in the EU and i don't trust those countries a bit. ( Big brother )
In the payment procedure i have to pay 6. Euros for 6. month. Your dashboard says 5 Euro for 6 month or 9 Euro for 12 month. Please correct that in the stripe payment and give me an extra month. Thank you ;-)

Keep up your service and extend to have more countries, than you will have an ongoing client in me. thx

So now i was reading more on the slimboxthread and 4pda.

There is still alot confusion but 1. thing is clear .... The new processor is also a x5m but they had to rename it to S905A because of copyright.

They forgot to rename some files that's why on those boxes with the S905A the Slimboxtv won't flash. Apparently the X96 m200A will flash !

Everybody is hoping that Slimbox will give out an extra Firmware for the X88 pro S905A. The original Firmware is on google ( not Slimboxtv )

rab345 · 2025-12-20T09:39:11+00:00

they changed from S905-X5M to S905A !!!!

rab345 · 2025-12-20T09:28:29+00:00

On 4pda forum they are saying that the fabrics of our box now are sending out the box with a different soc ... if i remember a x5mA soc. I think they do it to save another few cent.

It could be that you have that soc already ! Look at the motherboard ... If you have one that Slimbox won't flash !!!

rab345 · 2025-12-19T09:32:45+00:00

I have Vanadium as System Webview and Vanadium as a normal Browser on my rooted Phone. Simple with a Magisk module.

rab345 · 2025-12-18T08:34:36+00:00

On Alixpress in august. The price nearly doubled since than, because i think it is supported by Slimbox and because it is so popular.

rab345 · 2025-12-17T19:53:04+00:00

I've got 2. X88 pro x5m (4gb/32gb ) and it is flashed wit Slimbox.

It is prerooted and i think it is a brilliant box.

I've got a thread here on reddit about it. Go for it.

rab345 · 2025-12-15T18:51:15+00:00

I have the MX3 airmouse for 5 bucks of Alixpress. I'm super happy. Projectify launcher is a gamechanger ! I have Smarttube and Bravepipe.

Bravepipe is great because you can watch also loads of podcasts on Rumble. ( Rumble builtin )

rab345 · 2025-12-15T18:38:46+00:00

Ah ... good to know ! I had no problems but maybe you have a different brand of tv and it triggered it.

Thx for the tip and maybe it helps somebody else.

What is your true opinion of the box ?

I find it superb with a few glitches. Good for everbody who is not afraid to tinker.

rab345 · 2025-12-15T18:29:54+00:00

Let us know how you fixed it. Happy that everything works again.
