Just in case anyone doubts the "every all-black MXQ is different" mantra:
I bought three, all from the same ebay seller. All have different boards inside.
The first two work great with the HD18Q build, haven't tried the third one yet.

Been searching high and low with not a lot of luck. Is there a generic LCD.conf used for android boxes with LibreElec, I Have a T8 Plus, World TiVi s805 like an mxq, and an M10 all with displays, I can not get any to work. Any advice would be great.
Thank you

Duplicating the same issue in this forum again and again is not going to solve it for you. #394
Your boxes have LCD displays which are activated via the code written in your Chinese Android Firmware.
What makes the Displays work will be governed by the Firmware. You have 3 different boxes and dont think the Android Firmware
will be the same for all of them.
We have had enough trouble with the Blue Light / Red light (all black MXQ's)coming on staying on etc due to different boards, U-Boot , Device Tree on Factory Android Firmware.
You may just have to live with it.
My advice is dont touch anything with LCD screens unless you can deal with Linux Builds not showing Displays properly.
Good luck with it.

Thanks for the reply, I was not being rude asking for help, thanks for showing what post number I posted before, that helps. I was asking for advice from anyone that knew anything about lcd, in my original post I did not ask for possibly a generic lcd.conf I was not sure if anyone had a working LCD.conf for any sort of android box I could look at. Ill look into the Android firmware again as I did before asking to see if I missed anything. Once I figure it out I will post in so it can help others. Just like I posted all my custom roms over at MBox forums.... Thanks again for the help

Not a problem. Sorry if i sounded a bit hard. It is just that the s805 chip is ending up in so many casings , boards and now with LED screens versions it is another variable to get working that is frankly not worth spending time on.
"Development Time" spent on getting the box stable and quality playback is what what it's all about.
You might want to head over to the MXQ s805 clone forum where most of us have come from to see what we have been through.

I do understand the frustration, I know how many clones I personally encountered with MXq boxes and its rediculas. I really have not seen anyone get an Android box LCD to work, that is why I wondered if anyone had on anthing. I know its a ton of work and I would never actually expect it or even ask the developers to do it. If anyone ever gets any displays working let me know. I know one person that got it all working on the M10 but will not share as he is in sales - *** URL Removed *** he has it all working on Openelec but would not share the info, I thought about just buying another box to figure it all out for the community, that is the last resort I guess as I already have a wack load of boxes. Thank you again
I agree with you on that 100%
Thank you to everyone, kszaq has been amazing with everything here.

Sounds good !
Just waiting for the upload to complete, so I can get at the new toys
EDIT:
Excellent work again kszaq! Thank you
you should note that with wake_lock enabled, your device is working all the time - e.g. pressing a keyboard button results in key press in Kodi that you cannot see!
That is the case with attached keyboards but, at least with my v3_1 boards, RC Key presses made while the screen is blank, seem to be ignored (which is good news if, as in my case, the boxes are predominantly controlled with remotes)
On the downside, at least using the update method, these new builds cause my v2.0 box to adopt a new random MAC address each boot. I'll check if the full install makes any difference . . . same

Thank you for reporting. I am re-building 7.0.2.1 to fix this. Please check the download site in 2-3 hours and re-download.

Build complete, now uploading.
Updated, seems OK.
kszaq Which images have been re-built. I see no difference (result wise, they are different sizes) in any re-downloaded from the update folder. I'll try the SD method

I have re-built entire 7.0.2.1 release. File names are the same. You can update using tar files, there is no need for a clean install.
