Nexbox A95X: issue booting libreelec 8.2 from sd card

  • I have a nexbox A95X that I had previously installed libreelec 8.0 via sd card and it was able to boot into kodi without any issue using the toothpick method. I was having a scrapping issue with movies in my personal library so I decided to start over with 8.2. I formatted the 32gb sd card. I downloaded LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.2-8.2.1.1.img.gz and installed with rufus to sd card. Then downloaded device tree gxbb_p200_2G_100M.dtb. Renamed it dtb.img and copied it to the sd card.

    I then used the toothpick method to try and get it to boot to libreelec but it just stays on the nexbox a95x logo. I have held it there for 5 minutes and retried multiple times. I am able to pull out the sd card and use the toothpick method to get to recovery menus so I know I am hitting the button.

    I believe the nexbox is a s905 with 2gb ram, 10/100 ethernet and a/b/g/n wifi. Any and all help in getting the box working again is appreaciated.
