[8.2.4.1] LibreELEC Kodi Krypton - S905 & S912 devices

    Quote from wrxtasy

    Grab the last working kszaq LE C2 .tar release and uncompressed it on a PC / Mac.

    Then overwrite the SYSTEM and KERNEL files on the SD / eMMC.

    That should hopefully restore a working setup.

    Not at home base at the moment, will do a 32bit compatible C2 release when I'm back.

    Otherwise do a complete reflash of a LE C2 standard release and then upgrade with my aarch.tar update.

    Not working. its struck at libreelec logo forever.

    any solution ? is this version 8.2.4.2 or 8.2.5 from libreelec website latest one ?

    Nexbox A95X (s905x).

    ERROR: LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.2.4.2-S905Test-1529136339.tar is not compatible with S905.arm hardware - update cancelled.

    Current system: S905.arm

    Update system: S912.arm

    Thanks. And clean installation and recovery settings from backup can solve the problem?

    I don't quite understand the code "touch /storage/.update/.nocompat"

    Yes, clean installation will be fine.

    Login SSH and type touch /storage/.update/.nocompat

    First I enter the code via SSH. Then I copy the *.tar and *.dtb files into the "Update" folder and restart. All right?

    Forgive me for stupid questions, I don't want to break down what works :)

    Ive been using libre for ages on a raspberry. However I wanted hevc support, so after reading the forums, I bought a Mecool M8S pro + (S905x) as this was recommened. This one does not have a reset button in the AV hole.

    Whilst this box does have a sort of kodi it’s not to my liking, so I wanted to boot libre of the sd card.

    I used LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.2.4.2-S905Test-1529136339 and tried LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.2-8.2.3.1.

    But all I got was the Mecool banner and then it just stayed there.

    I’m sure it should run as other people have it running on M8S boxes, so I must be doing something wrong.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction.

    Thank you.

    This will help you.

    Look towards the device tree. It must match your box.

    Thank you all - Yes that web page was what I was following

    acording to that web page S905X does not need a device tree. "S905X: You can leave a tree that is already present on SD card"

    I'll try a 2G one and see if that works.

    I try gxl_p212_2g.dtb and gxl_p212_2g_nand.dtb and gxl_p212_2g_slowemmc.dtb but same - Stops at mecool banner.

    I must be doing something stupid as others have got it to work.

    Sucess, I used This and it booted first time. Few things dont work (keyboard/mouse) but at least it boot - and I know this is alpha.

    Ok. now i see where I was going wrong. I didn't rename gxl_p212_2g.dtb to dtb.img (it was not ovious from the install instructions). Now it is working properly even keyboard/mouse & wifi works.

    Edited 3 times, last by hAZAR: Added dtb tried (June 22, 2018 at 1:19 PM).

    What is the difference between q200_k3 and q200_3g dtb? I had been using q200_3g with gigabit for my h96 pro plus. But today i was looking at the mega.nz folder and there wasnt any g200_3g under the gigabit folder, so i tried q200_k3 and it worked. Do i NEED to have the "correct" dtb, or its fine as long as it boots?

    Edit: Also wanted to ask: I have an Air Mouse js6, it has some buttons (such as the internet explorer button) which are not read by LibreELEC, im unable to map them in Keymap Editor. However, i tried 8.90.3 CoreELEC and there the buttons work, i can remap them using Keymap editor. Is there any way i can bring that functionality to LibreELEC?
