    usiing this libre elec: LibreELEC-S912.arm-8.2.5-Chroma.422.10bit

    MEGA (Kodi Krypton-AML)<3<3<3

    good luck.

    and much love

  • I own both the Beelink GT1 1GB DDR 16 GB drive and the Beelink GT1 Ultimate with 3GB DDR and 36GB drive.

    I have been able to install LibreELEC on the first Beelink GT1 but not on the ULTIMATE version of the box.

    I used LibreELEC-912.arm-8.2-8.2.2.2.img.gz and have tried the device tree files gxm_q200_3g.dtb ,gxm_q201_3g.dtb, q200_2g.dtb and q200_2g.dtb without any success.

    I started the box using the normal toothpick method and all I get is the Beelink Android symbol on the start up screen and nothing happens after that.

    I also tried booting into Android 7.1 and installing a Terminal Emulator and used the command 'reboot update' with the micro SD card installed with no success.

    I used the program LibreELEC.USB-SD.Creator.Win32 to flash the class 10 micro SD card.

    Having had no problems with the earlier Beelink GT1 box I cannot understand why I am having no success with the later box.

    Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks :(

    Can you explain how you install libreelec on beelink gt1?

  • For kicks you could try this image on a spare SD card LibreELEC-AMLGX.arm-9.80-nightly-20200324-aeb6e84-box.img.gz - It won't be great for playback (still a bit experimental) but might help set the u-boot environment up better. I've had issues with other Beelink firmware; to make things boot quicker some of the normal wait points in the boot sequence are time-reduced which makes it harder to release the reset button at the right point to trigger the u-boot recovery mode (which is how the toothpick method works).

  • Hi Chewitt,

    I have tried it and It lags alot on playback and I had to restart it everything I forward the video and it gets stuck.

    I have been looking around for a stable older release to test playback on my device.

    Thanks.

  • I suppose you mean The beelink GT1 Ultimate since since you have no problems with the earlier version.

    i always used this video as a reference point. The proces is the same for the later libreelec versions.
