After the update to CoreElec 9.2.4
sometimes at startup of the device the screen remains all green, no logo, no menus, so only green color
and nothing can be done only press power button to shutdown

after another startup it start working again

What do you mean same model with different hardware?

the units sent to users as free for tests or for awards
has not completely equal hardware to regular (commercial version) of GS-King X

running tests with CoreElec devs we saw that this type of units
has a hardware version similar to GT King X
and this is the cause of the bootloader issues when you use DTB of regular GS King X.

To new CoreELEC releases a new DTB will be available for GS King X (called rev a) to be used with these particular test units

---

Also the green screen will be resolved to new releases,
this fix in some cases unfortunately could cause a short delay with Kodi startup

I have been contacted by CE devs
if some other want see discussion to the problem see here:
https://discourse.coreelec.org/t ... -screen-issue/12492

We are resolving the problem of the failed LibreELEC boot on some of these devices with different hardware revision.

A suggestion for Beelink company:
if you have to cooperate with CoreELEC Team at least
you can inform the CoreELEC Team that you produce the same unit with different hardware
and save to everyone a lot of trouble and time losed...

For the green screen problem, will come later

This problem is related to 9.2.4 if it is not working solution is pretty simple use 9.2.4.1 or 9.2.3 versions.

I tried Nightly Build and there is no such issue, it ran smoothly.

I'm running 9.2.4.2 with a revA processor and it is running fine (9.2.4.2 comes with a GS-King X revA DTB file).
