Hi. kszaq made different builds that should work on my device fo xample: [7.0.3.012l] LibreELEC 7.0 for S905/S905X

but the link's are down. My device is the Sunvell T95m 2GB/8GB with S905 chip. The Realtek Chip (WIFI) is an RTL8723BS and for Ethernet is a H81601s with 100 Mbits. Are there files I could trie out if it works for me? Thx

The images in my test share https://chewitt.libreelec.tv/testing/ have some additional Realtek drivers that are deliberately missing from official images.

Thank you very much! with stock android 5.1 I am able to setup and boot to libreElec. But I would like to Run android 6 custom firmware with twrp recover. Reboot from system to recovery doesn't boot libreElec from SD card it boosts to twrp. I am also not able to boot libreElec with the toothpick method. Could you help me please with that?

On most boxes invoking recovery boot mode causes the box to search for autoscript files or simple boot.scr which we use to hook the boot process. If your Android 6 firmware erased that you'll need to connect uart cables to the board (soldering the uart pins if needed) to interrrupt u-boot and edit the environment to reinstate the required search behaviour. The bootscript content in https://github.com/LibreELEC/Libr…_autoscript.src should be what you need to add. I forget if you can edit the environment from Android .. it's years since I wasted any time on vendor kernel things.
