How to up-/downgrade Slice?

Hello everybody,

I'm a little bit frustrated about my slice, a few weeks ago it started to freeze randomly.

As I found out today, it is because of the new version... (8.2.4)

So I wanted to downgrade my slice, but somehow I'm to stupid for that.

I'm using Linux Mint (I'm no expert at linux, more a user) and my Slice has the CM3 inside.

I have downloaded the *.tar File from: downloads – LibreELEC

My problem now is, how or where do I find the "/storage/.update/"?

I don't know if I'm just stupid or didn't saw the point...

It's pretty simple: just like upgrading, you paste the (downgrade) file into the .upgrade folder, and reboot the machine.

"/storage/.update/" can be found via logging in via SSH, and do a "cd /storage/.update" command.

Folders and files preceding with a dot (.) in Linux are hidden.

The upgrade folder should also be visible when connecting your File Browser via Samba with the Slice device.

Go into the "update" function in LE settings, set to manual, select LibreELEC 8.0 channel, check for versions and 8.2.3 will be listed.

Or do it the hard way copy/pasting files around.

Thanks a lot.

Finally I've got downgrade.

I wanted to do it with the update function of LE, but the system crashed during download (round about ten-times). But with copying with the SSH it worked with the first attempt.

Again thank you!!
