Pi 3 Won't Start with Latest Three Versions of LibreELEC

Larrimus · December 26, 2017 at 7:01 AM

I have a Raspberry Pi 3 with a SanDisk 32GB HC 1 Micro SD card. I have tried installing LibreELEC 8.2.1, 8.2.0, & 8.0.2, but none of these will cause the green LED to even flash. I've tried loading these onto my SD card with Rufus & the LibreELEC USB-SD Creator. The thing is, I can install Raspian Stretch, & boot from that just fine.

What do I do here? I can't find a thread with anyone having even remotely the same issue that I am.

You are installing LE for RPi2, right? LE for RPi is for models 0 and 1. LE for RPi2 is for models 2 and 3.

I'm installing LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.2.1.img. Is that really the issue? Man I feel like an idiot.

Edit: Yeah, that was the issue. Thanks for all your help guys!

From the downloads page, downloads – LibreELEC there is a drop down for Raspberry Pi
