M8S+ Lockup at splash screen

effthis · April 5, 2017 at 8:50 PM

Hey, I did a quick flip through the forum and didn't see this, but saw some similar. My M8S+ box updated and is now stuck on the LibreElec splash screen. I understand that there's a file to delete through Kodi, the issue is that I can't get to it due to the lock up, and I'm unsure as to how to get to it any other way. Can anyone shed some light on this? It's kind of bricked at the moment due to this issue. Thanks.

I am new here as well, however I did hear that the update will seem as if it locked. So it takes a while and you're not supposed to mess with it until it is done. Look up updating a G box on you tube and you may see the same video I did.

It's likely the MyAddons27.db file that needs deleting.
You can do that by loggin into your LE box via SSH, and then using with the following commands:

Code

rm /storage/.kodi/userdata/Database/MyAddons27.db
systemctl restart kodi
