Help with installing Jarvis

DoRiLoN · December 31, 2017 at 3:52 PM

Hello guys, I'm new to this forum and Libreelec so excuse me if I'm opening the thread in the wrong forum. I went trough a lot of information but I still can't figure out how to install Libreelec (Jarvis) on my W95 Tv box - 2GB RAM + 16GB ROM. Can someone please guide me trough the process? Thank you

see here

[7.0.3.012l] LibreELEC 7.0 for S905/S905X

But it´s better to install Krypton

Which version and tree do you recommend using for this type of box?

Tim_Taylor · December 31, 2017 at 4:43 PM

Device tree depends on hardware - SoC seems to be the S905W

Version 1 = [8.2.2.2] LibreELEC 8.2 for S905/S905X

Version 2 = [8.90.0] LibreELEC 9.0 Pre-Alpha for S905/S905X/S912

Just try to install on SD card until it works

The device tree depends on the LAN size & the RAM, 1 2 or 3 GB

try them one at a time, you don't need to recreate the image, just replace the dtb file.

as you have already read in the instructions. you know to rename the downloaded device tree to dtb.img

So I tried everything but the stupid box doesnt want to boot in libreelec. I tried the toothpick method, the Reboot to LibreElec app from google play, nothing happens. I tried every tree, too...Ideas?

Ideas?

We don´t know what You did.

1. Did You check the SoC ?

2. Android 7 on stock ?

3. Did You prepare the SD card properly ?

4. Did You try an USB stick ?

DoRiLoN · January 1, 2018 at 11:32 AM

1. SoC is 905W

2. Android 7 Stock rooted

3 and 4. I only tried with USB because I dont have a SD to spare right now

Tim_Taylor · January 1, 2018 at 11:36 AM

Did You try every USB port - probably only one Port works

Did You try whithout .dtb file ?

Hint:

Buy a SD card

DoRiLoN · January 1, 2018 at 11:43 AM

I tried every port. Should I try completely without .dtb file or with the one, which is already in the image file?

Maybe 7.03 version is to old for S905W SoC

Try newer version 8.2.2.2.2

DoRiLoN · January 1, 2018 at 2:41 PM

Nope nothing happens.

I have already tried various releases but all of them just got stuck at the bootscreen or dont start at all...
