Available builds [INDEX] LibreELEC community builds for Amlogic

do a search of the forum, although, I'm sure you would have done that already

Use any S905/S905X version of LE.

The S905/S905x version should work? My device wont boot from sd already tried that. What devicetree should i die then?

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunatelly the links don't work

**kszaq** · November 17, 2017 at 10:36 PM

Replace kszaq.libreelec.tv with sx05.eu to make links work.

Got it working now. But when de device reboots the screen goes black and it doesn’t boot. I installed it the to sd card

Is your box a 1GB or 2GB? Sounds like you used the wrong device tree.

wotikar · November 18, 2017 at 3:15 PM

1gb but i used that device tree. I succesfully installed libreelec. But after that it wont boot anymore

appendizitis · November 19, 2017 at 10:48 AM

hi...the device tree for mine was 2gb/16gb...maybe thats the problem..try another

wotikar · November 19, 2017 at 1:34 PM

So it is possible to boot a device with a wrong device tree? Thats weird. Gonna try that thanks

appendizitis · November 19, 2017 at 1:56 PM

wotikar · November 19, 2017 at 3:12 PM
