[8.2.3.1] LibreELEC 8.0 for S805

    I just spend the evening trying to get this build installed to nand on my MXQ s805. All of my attemps failed.

    First, i wrote the image to sd. Booting from sd with toothpick method works fine. After enabling ssh, i ran the installtointernal command. The first attempt resulted in no errors. But after a reboot i only get "Android system recovery <3e>" showing "no command" error.

    After this, i tried the recovery install procedure with 7.0.3.3.a build. I installs fine, but after rebooting it freezes showing the libreelec logo.

    After this, i tried again install with "installtointernal", now with 7.95.beta.5a . Again i can boot from sd. But now this is wat happens:

    Backing up remote.conf...mount: mounting /dev/system on /tmp/system failed: Invalid argument
    umount: can't unmount /tmp/system: Invalid argument
    done.
    Writing kernel image...88+1 records in
    88+1 records out
    5781504 bytes (5.5MB) copied, 3.520047 seconds, 1.6MB/s
    done.
    Formatting SYSTEM partition...done.
    Copying SYSTEM files...mount: mounting /dev/system on /tmp/system failed: Invalid argument
    umount: can't unmount /tmp/system: Invalid argument
    done.
    Formatting DATA partition...done.
    Do you want to copy your user data to internal data partition? [Y/n] n
    All done! You can now continue using your LE system or type "rebootfromnand" to reboot from internal memory.

    Again tried 7.95.beta6, same result.

    To sum things up: i can do recovery with 7.0.3.3 but this won't boot LE. With 7.95.beta6 i can boot from sd but cant install nor boot from internal nand.

    Please help...

    Well is there any step-by-step instruction how to install on MXQ S805 (Android 4.4.2 preinstalled) instead Android??? Do I need to do something additionally to do that?? And did anyone tried Kodi Netflix addon(Flix2Kodi or anything else) and can say it's working??

    I took a screenshot of the font problem I mentioned earlier. You can see the white part of the text that shouldn't be there, this is just the home screen of the default skin. I don't know if it's a Kodi issue, a TV issue, or a problem with the box/build but here it is :D

    Is it like that everywhere you go in the menu or only on 'TV Shows'??

    You saying you want to install this over the android firmware?

    TV Shows was just an example. It's visible everywhere I believe.

    So IMO it is OS itself and it may be repaired in future releases but it's not 100% sure ;)
    BTW on MBOX MXQ that I have it's probably not possible to do toothpic but i'm not sure what is that about so if someone can explain it to me then maybe I will be a happy uesr of LE on my box.

    Download the sd card creator software from here downloads – LibreELEC

    Then download the image file for your box from here 7.95.beta6

    Then open the sd creator software and click select file and add the file you just downloaded. Once its finish remove the sd card and insert it into your box with the power out. Insert a toothpick into the av port on the back (think its av port) and hold it in while inserting power plug back in and keep holding till it boots up and it should install it

    By the way it wont actually install it will just boot from sd card, and when you remove the sd card it will go back to android

    I haven't tried HD18Q builds. Will go and test it tonight. Keep you posted.. Thanks for the advice.

    Just installed the HD18 build. Installs perfectly. For whom is facing the same problem, this concerns the black "mxq" box with black logo. I'll attach a photo of the box. Even the remote works again with the HD18 remote file. The installtointernal copied it immediately.

    s805Kodi:~ # installtointernal
    This script will erase BOOT, SYSTEM, and DATA on your device
    and install LE that you booted from SD card/USB drive.

    The script does not have any safeguards!

    Type "yes" if you know what you are doing or anything else to exit: yes

    All done! You can now continue using your LE system or type "rebootfromnand" to reboot from internal memory.
    s805Kodi:~ # rebootfromnand

    Open up an ssh with putty, insert your box IP address, username is root, password is libreelec then type installtointernal and follow onscreen instructions

    Hello. Just one small doubt.
    There is a configuration under Settings/System/Display that is: Number of buffers used by grafic driver : 2 or 3. What is the recommended value to be used in our boxes?
    I am running 7.95.beta6 MXQ version on my MXV S805 box.
    Thanks!
