Simple rule: if you're not sure, always use a device tree with an update. I thought it's pretty clear when this is in bold+red in the instruction?
Ok-
so just to doublecheck.
I am uploading:
gxl_p212_2g_nand.dtb
+
LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.2-8.1.6.img.gz
to the Update folder on the NAND - correct?
(using a NEXBOX S905X with currently 8.0.* @ NAND installed)
I do not know what device tree you need, but it would help if you read this
[HOWTO + FAQ] Install community builds on S905/S905X/S912 device
Important: You should also download a new device tree, and put in Update folder with an update file. You should have both files in Update folder before rebooting. You do not need to rename device tree file before updating.
I did - as mentioned and know it does not reboot after updating - great
EDIT: Wouldnt it be better - to get a short clear instruction answer instead of "please read this"?
I am asking "how to update an exisiting LE on nand" because I am not form to the process.
I have read the instruction but for me it wasnt clear enough.
Thats why I was asking.
No I did what I thought it would be the way... but it wasnt!
HI everyone in about 20 minutes I'm going to do a fresh install to NAND on a T95M with 2GB RAM and 8GB NAND. T95M Android Tv Box Built in 2.4G 5G WiFi Amlogic S905 16.0 Android 5.1 OS Quad Core 2GB/8GB H.265 4K media player T95M-in Set-top Boxes from Consumer Electronics on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group
I plan on using the LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.2-8.1.6.img.gz and gxbb_p200_2G_100M.dtb even though the specs on the aliexpress page say GIGABIT, I'm pretty sure it's not true.
If I'm about to make a mistake, please let me know. I have done this previously on my A95X, but never on an S905 based unit, so I am a little nervous about it.
You must have downloaded the wrong device tree, I do not know exactly what your ram or network port speed are, so I gave you the link for you to work it out.
If you had read this in the past you would have followed the recommended instruction to install to microsd first.
I do not know if there is a way to copy another device tree to the update folder, when it hasn't booted. Perhaps someone else does.
However, I am sorry it hasn't worked for you.

To ensure you install the correct device tree, install to microsd card first, if that device tree works, then use it on NAND

We are always happy to help yet we don't want to answer the same questions again and again. Next time please tell us first that you read instructions and don't understand, there's always a way to improve them.

Perhaps you flashed an incorrect device tree. There's always a way to recover. Are you sure that you used a device tree with the same file name as for 8.0.x? Remember that "_nand" suffix is not for installing to internal memory - it is for devices with NAND instead of eMMC.

Hey kzsaq - thanks for your help.
I did the "backup action" which is recommened if the box wont reboot after updating.
This time i took gxl_p212_1g_nand.dtb instead of gxl_p212_2g_nand.dtb - renamed it and moved the file from USB via ssh to NAND.
Now system is working.
Thanks again for your work esp. the OS.
keep it up!

My T95M has an LED display. Is there anything I can add to Kodi to use it?
Is there any guide that you can recommend for programming the remotes keys to functions?

What settings is hdmi-cec to turn the box on and off.
It is now only turning off, no turning on
Driver is not implemented in my builds.
I think I found the driver at GitHub - yixiaoyang/amlogic905_fd628_driver: FD628 数码管驱动for Amlogic905
Well, it's not like a deal breaker or anything of the like. Just more icing on the cake.
Thank you for all your hard work and for putting up with noobs like me.

In the system settings there will the a section with a sub-heading that says peripherals. You will find the CEC setting there that you can set to turn your devices on or off with the box.
Is there a repository that has a build of visualization.projectm that works with 8.16?
The only ones I see are: Shadertoy, Spectrum, Waveform, and WavforHue (and I could only get the first 3 to work).
projectM is a ported version of Milkdrop, which is by far the most stunning music visualization ever IMHO.
Could this bring some improvements to LibreELEC?:

The implementation of kernel 4.13 would be a nice thing, or not?
