Unable to install Libreelec 8.2.3.1. in X96 Mini Amlogic S905W

Hi,

I had it done several months ago but the hardware has been damaged. As I have the image and a backup, I choose to buy exactly the same Tv box X96 Mini Amlogic S905W 1RAM 1ROM. The OS runs from the USB but after executing the command installtointernal (several times) and without errors, it doesn´t run from internal memory. when I reset the X96 without the USB plugged, nothing appears in screen, it remains in black. It only runs with the USB plugged. I also have tried with others device trees, just in case something in hardware would have changed , but same result.

Any idea??

Thanks so much

Is there any reason you want to install to internal?

It's safer to just have LE on the SD/USB and store data on the internal emmc. Link

Hi Iridium,

From USB works fine and no special/important reason to install to internal. Just to have it as I had the old one, and it fits right under the TV in a littel hole in the table, without usb :). And jus curiosity, why the same hardware, and the same sources and the same steps don´t work

I hope you are sure of the consequences if you have a problem!

Code

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kszaq/LibreELEC.tv/libreelec-8.2/projects/S905/filesystem/usr/sbin/installtointernal
chmod +x installtointernal
./installtointernal

I haven't used it in a long time but it should work!
