Cant switch back from LibreElec (internal) to Android Mecool M8S Pro L (s912)

Hi,

I am getting nuts while trying to get android installed back to my M8S Pro L. I have thousends of firmware versions downloaded. I copied with sd burning tool to SD, I entered "reboot recovery", but nothing happened. It stops on the "mecool" screen without doing anything. What can I do?! The player has no recovery button. Once I found an forum entry which described the M8S Pro L had a remote butten which initiates the update from SD if you name the uupdatefile "update.zip" but I dont find this entry any more.

When I use the SD card burning tool it makes 2 partitions. The first is empty, the second with datas. Is that right, should it be like that?!

Please help, Thanks

PS: I dont have a USB cabel with both sides the same end, so I cant use USB burning tool
