I will try it's a Matricom g-box Q2 that's what they call it First was the just G-Box Q 802 CPU then they came out The Q2 Version it has a 812s CPU

I have never owned a Q3 comes with Android Nougat 7.1 S905xx CPU

After Reading on here Alot I'm Still a little confused on what is the Right LibreELEC Software is, I tried the LibreELEC-Amlogic.arm-M8-8.0.2 Works Perfect in The 802 CPU BUt will brick a Q2 with 812 CPU, After Reading I tried The LibreELEC-Amlogic.arm-M8SPlus-8.2.5-update it loads and works but the remote doesn't also cat5 internet does not work Wifi does i let it take an update it wanted to install x8 Version went into endless reboot

I installed the Android Software back in it tried again this time updated with LibreELEC-S8X2.arm-8.2-M8 works but still no remote and cat5 internet

I found and have the remote.conf file needed using winscp won't let me copy edit or delete file why?

The remote conf will go in /storage/.config (which is writable) not /etc/ which is part of a read-only filesystem.

Superbee · December 12, 2018 at 10:05 PM

I got The remote working, where is the network setting conf file for the cat5?

Networking can be manually configured via the LE settings add-on, but networking (using DHCP) should just work - although in Amlogic images this depends on having the correct device-tree file for the box.

Superbee · December 13, 2018 at 12:15 PM

Thats what i think is wrong the device tree Wifi works BUT cat5 won't, gives a 169.xxx.xxx.xxx ip address

settings in LE are all right

Superbee · December 21, 2018 at 5:44 PM

is there a file device tree (for the network cat5) that i can move from a working box to the none working box?

le won't let me change anything when DHCP is on

ok maybe this will be easier i finally got the box to boot from Sd card with LibreELEC-S8X2.arm-8.2.3-M8S-PLUS This is the right Software for this box everything works anyway BUT how can i program the box with it? there is only an IMG file and update file if i use the update file it only updates the SD card i want ot flash the TV box?
