Changing from RPi 2/3 to RPi 3B+, FIRST upgrade to 8.2.4 (including NOOBS instructions)

There is be a problem if you are using NOOBS. Updating LibreELEC is not enough, you also have to update NOOBS before the SD card will boot in a RPi 3B+.

I've found instructions how to update NOOBS here Updating Raspbian on your microSD for the Raspberry Pi 2 – The Pi Hut and successfully tested this with a NOOBS 2.4 installation.

1. Download NOOBS LITE v2.7 (not the full version, the LITE one) from Download NOOBS for Raspberry Pi
2. Extract the ZIP file and copy all files EXCEPT recovery.cmdline to the first partition of the SD card

You can either do this on your PC or with the following commands from within LibreELEC:

mkdir noobs
cd noobs
wget -O noobs-lite.zip https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/NOOBS_lite_latest
mkdir extract
unzip -d extract noobs-lite.zip
rm extract/recovery.cmdline
mkdir part1
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 part1
cp -r extract/* part1/
umount part1
cd ..
rm -rf noobs

so long,

One other issue I had moving an existing Libreelec sdcard installation from an RPi3 to an RPi3B+ was that I couldn't get the wifi to connect without following Chewitt's instructions from post #20 here:

Invalid argument

The error message was "Network Error Invalid Argument".

Cheers

I maybe missing something, but when I upgrade to the new version with support for the B+, the B+ firmware is not present. Specifically the file bcm2710-rpi-3-b-plus.dtb that is present with the raspbian and milhouse updates are not present. Can anyone shed some light for me?

Thanks

fair enough...thanks
