    Where do you get the new dtb ? Have you tried running with the standard dtb from the image ?

    I got if from my original Android firmware, I tried standard dtb file too, but the system still reboot again and again, I checked UART log , it looks like:

    then system reboot again.

    Here the image I tested is "LibreELEC-S812.LAN_100.arm-8.0.2.img" and "LibreELEC-S812.arm-18.0_20180601-LAN_100.img", and the results are same.

    Android device tree files work on Android not Linux. On an LE 3.14 kernel they will be similar, but they are not interchangeable.

    I had DTS (device tree sources) file, is it possible to build a new dtb file for the new kernel? Thanks!

    Hi balbes150

    Your last image for me work like a charme, but (its always a but), the HDMI CEC doesnt work. Have you intend make it work.

    Thanks and regards

    Has anyone been able to update from balbes150's 8.2.3 to the 06/22 Leia build via .tar successfully? I help friends with their M8S boxes, but don't want to end up messing the boxes up with problems.

    I was able to update from 8.2.3 (Demetris) to 9.0 (Babels)

    LibreELEC-S8X2.arm-8.2.3-MXIII-PLUS.tar

    to

    LibreELEC-S812.arm-9.0-devel-20180718130923-f2dced1-MXIII_Plus.tar

    I just put it in the update folder.

    I have a MXIII 2G. Everything seem to go perfectly fine except the remote didnt work.

    I had to revert back to 8.2.3 where everything works fine.

    I used my remote.conf file, it work fine on 8.2.3 but does not work on 9.0.

    Is there a solution to this?

    Thanks,

    Baalho

    I also tried LE9 on an S812 and the remote did not work.

    I got a response from balbes150 as follows..

    "In the current version of the kernel S812 no support for the remote control."

    There is a different way of getting the remote to work on versions after 9...

    You need to search the forum

    You have to ssh stop kodi, run a command to see key presses

    On phone can’t search easily

    Thanks baalho. Been looking for a response for a long time.

    FYI, I'm not sure if this works in LE and S812, but I wrote the attached guide for creating what is needed in Coreelec. Give it a shot. I will update if I can to balbes build and see if it works. Note that in the guide the password for putty is "Libreelec" with balbes software.

    Would be great to see an update to 8.95.0 (Beta 1) from balbes150.

    Hello folks! I'm a newcomer in search for a good firmware for my M8S OTT box. 2/8 AP6330 N200.

    Image LE model S812 S802. Make on the basis of two GIT drieschel and kszaq , with some additions and changes. To use you must activate universal multiboot (after burning the image to SD card use toothpick method on a TV console). After a one-time activation universal multi-boot with TV box, you can use the images recorded on USB media. To use the TV box still images OE LE (with old multi-boot option), it is enough to copy to the FAT partition of those drives, file script s805_autoscript .

    Which one should I choose for mine? Also will newer lea work?

    Hi, I have successfully installed LE on my M8S box. However there's a problem with Wi-Fi. Despite the switch is active, there are no connections listed. The chip is AP6330. Switched to Android, and Wi-Fi works fine.

    You could try the MXIII_plus build. It worked with 3 M8S boxes I fix for friends and WiFi worked.

    Maybe someone of you can help me to fix my remote. I just used it to boot up the box since updating to Leia. ir-keytable -t doesnt show any key. I tried all protocols. This is what I get when type in ir-keytable:

    Found /sys/class/rc/rc0/ (/dev/input/event0) with:

    Driver: rc-loopback, table: rc-empty

    lirc device: /dev/lirc0

    Supported protocols: lirc rc-5 rc-5-sz jvc sony nec sanyo mce_kbd rc-6

    Enabled protocols: lirc rc-5 rc-5-sz jvc sony nec sanyo mce_kbd rc-6

    Name: rc-core loopback device

    bus: 6, vendor/product: 0000:0000, version: 0x0001

    Repeat delay = 500 ms, repeat period = 125 ms


    It seems to me like the system isn't loading the driver for the IR receiver.

    I attached the dmesg output. Im on the newest build. It is driving me crazy the last couple of days. Everything except of that is working great.

    For LibreElec 8.x I got my remote.conf from here Remote control configuration for Libreelec on Amlogic Socs | Micro Devices (exactly my remote). I also tried out some of the presets I found here for similar looking remotes but nothing worked for me.

    An, I'm not sure if this is the case with balbes150's rom, but with some of the Leia builds the remote has to be rebuilt/created. I have had to do this for several boxes. Check out this thread: How to configure IR remote control - HowTo - CoreELEC Forums

    There are some ready made files LibreELEC 9.0.x Remote files - Remote Controllers - CoreELEC Forums

    One of these might work, saving you the trouble of creating one yourself. My H96 Pro remote looks like yours
