You need to find out what chip this device has, if it's S905, then download the img.gz & use rufus to burn image to a microsd card, use recovery mode to get it to boot from the card for the first boot, after that, it will reboot to libreelec.
If you remove the sd card, it will boot to android. -

Ok, you need to download the correct file for your device, I'm not sure exactly what that is, if you get the version 7 to start with, version 8 needs the dtb file replaced. It will be xxxx.img.gzI use rufus, so download rufus to a windows pc, Rufus - Create bootable USB drives the easy way where is says iso, select dd, then burn the image onto a sd card, or even a usb stick.
Remove power lead, Plug the stick or card into the T95, there should be a small hole in the box somewhere to get to recovery mode, push a paperclip or similar into the hole until you hear a click. Hold it in, now plug the mains/power lead back in.
After a few seconds, perhaps 30, let go of the paperclip, it should now start to show the libreelec logo, If all goes well, that should be that.
With the next reboot it should just automatically boot to libreelec. The card needs to be in for it to boot to libreelec. If you remove the card, android will boot up. If you don't want android, you can install to internal memory, (NAND)
but I don't do that.
Points to bear in mind, apparently, not all usb ports will work, you need to try both. Also, even if you install the wrong image, it will not damage your device.
I think, this page has the image you need LibreELEC
About halfway down, Downloads: 7.0.2.007
Then follow instructions
I am not sure what device tree you need, but when you plug your sd/usb drive into a pc, you will see the boot partition, that is where the dtb.img file is.
just download a device tree, rename to dtb.img & overwrite the one on the boot partition -

cheersyou download rufus to a windows pc, just like I said install it, or run the portable version. then run rufus with a sd card plugged into the windows pc, then burn the image,
You do not need access to the tv box.

which are in pic...Seems like you need to get the correct device tree. If you installed version 7, then try another device tree from here device_trees
If, version 8, device_trees
I don't know what device tree is correct for your device. Try them one at a time. download the device tree, rename it to dtb.img then copy, (overwrite) to the boot folder on the sd card. If that doesn't work, then try another & another, if that doesn't work, then I have no idea.
I see from your picture, you are not showing the file extension, you need to show it on your pc. I do not know how to do that on your pc, you will need to google.

Provided the card is plugged in, it will automatically boot to LibreELEC every time.I don't know how to install to NAND. There are instructions here LibreELEC

Probably connect ot it via the SMB shares and copy the complete userdata folder to a different computer.
Or stick a USB Stick in and use that as a location
