Booting from USB in X92

Hi,

it seems the SD reader of my X92 (S912 - 3GB RAM version) is dead. I have tried to prepare Libreelec in USB pendrive and install it from Update&Backup Android app method, but Libreelec loader doesn't work for me. Is there any way to boot Libreelec from an alternative source?

My same box boots fine from any of the 4 USB ports. I prepare the USB stick same way as I do for SD card; it installes and runs OK...

What method do you choose to install LB on the X92?

Write any.img file (that is unpacked any.gz file) to SD/USB with Win32 Disk Imager v0.9.5

Choose (propper fot my box) gxm_q201_3g_1gbit.dtb from "Device Tree" folder on SD card, copy it to root of SD card and rename it to dtb.img

Stick SD/USB in the box, press and hold Reset Switch -> Power on the box -> after about 15 seconds when LE/CE logo apears, release the reset switch, and LE/CE starts installing.
