S802/S812-Libreelec images for 7/8/9

Hi Demetris and other helpful libreelec friends,

I am getting the error "to prevent automatic repair attempt continuing press any key or power off your system within the next 120 seconds" when i try to install the latest LibreELEC-S8X2.arm-8.0.1-M8.img.gz file. This is on my S802 M8 with the roundish remote. BTW RC4 also fails.
I am installing from android and i have cleared cache and data after a clean android install.
I've also tried to unzip LibreELEC-S8X2.arm-8.0.1-M8.zip and install that way but it just boots back to android. (it seems to be missing a file)
lastly, i installed Openelec and other libreelec builds (which do install fine) but i am not able to get the .nocompat file to the update folder when i SSH "touch /storage/.update/.nocompat" to use the .tar file you provided.

Do i have some bad memory cards or can this issue be caused by something else?
thank you so much for your help again.

If you can get openelec to install create the .nocompat file on a pc and use a USB flash drive to copy it a long withe the update .tar to your box using kodi file manager. Just make sure you have enabled "show hidden files and folders" once done reboot box and it should update

thank you and pardon my ignorance, how can i create that file? i tried renaming a blank .txt file but i get an error saying "you must type a file name"

Make windows show file extension's. Create a new text file and name it .nocompat which will then automatically save it as .nocompat.txt, right click on it then click rename and remove the .txt part and press enter. Windows will then kick off but just click OK or save. It should then become a different icon meaning windows does not recognise it and should now be named .nocompat

Thank you so much, you guys are the best.
I just kept trying multiple ways and finally this worked for me.
Opened Notepad,
clicked File
Save As
entered .nocompant
changed the file type dropdown from .txt to "All Files"
and it saved!!!!

who knew something so simple could be so difficult.
either way, i going to download your file just in case so I'll post back this evening if i had success with the .tar file.

thanks again.

I'm a knob head lol. For anyone else...
Install notepad++
Open it
Close the welcome "page" down
Click file
Click save as
In the drop down box where it says .txt click it and select "All *.*"
Now name it .nocompat
Click save
Job done

E:signature verification failed installation aborted

Couple of quick questions
