Hi,
I'm looking for some tipps to get LE running. Since I turned disk back to GPT LE is not booting anymore.
My jurney:
I flashed LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-9.2.7.img.gz using balenaEtcher on an new 4TB USB drive with GPT.
That turned the drive into a MBR drive and destroyed the GPT info.
On first boot on my RPi4 LibreELEC stated to resize partition and filesystem and did a reboot.
LE booted and I was able to do the initial configurations. But setup didn't resize partition. As I only had a 32MB STORAGE partition I couldn't install any addon. So I resized the partition manually on my PC to 1.5 GB using the GParted App in Linux Mint.
LE booted fine again and I was able to install docker addon for a test.
So I now wanted to turn the disk back to GPT to resize STORAGE to full disk space.
I used gdisk for this and only used the command w to write GPT.
Sadly LE is not booting anymore since then.
Here you find the partition info before and after I used gdisk:

Warning: Invalid CRC on main header data; loaded backup partition table.
Warning! Main and backup partition tables differ! Use the 'c' and 'e' options
on the recovery & transformation menu to examine the two tables.
Warning! Main partition table CRC mismatch! Loaded backup partition table

Found valid MBR and corrupt GPT. Which do you want to use? (Using the
GPT MAY permit recovery of GPT data.)
1 - MBR
2 - GPT
3 - Create blank GPT
