Wetek Core NAND install - now bricked

  • Followed the NAND install instructions - ended up with the old problem:

    can't access tty: job control turned off

    I found another thread which advised removing the following code:

    --wipe_data

    --wipe_cache

    I did this and tried again.

    Now when i boot with toothpick I only get to the Android recovery screen and have a message at the bottom

    E: Cannot Load Volume /misc!

    I've tried all the menu options from here and am completely stuck.

    Is my box dead?

  • Insert your installation SD-card and in recovery menu select "apply update from EXT->Update from sdcard", then select the LibreELEC-WeTek_Core.arm-8.0.2-update.zip. After install is complete also run "wipe data/factory reset" from recovery menu. Then reboot.

  • should have said - i tried that too but I get this:

    E:failed to mount /sdcard (no such file or directory)

    is my SD card not formatted correctly - it's Fat 32 and has the following

    LibreELEC-WeTek_Core.arm-8.0.2-update.zip

    factory_update_param.aml

    recovery.img

    What do I need to do to make the box see the card?

  • OK - Got it now!!

    Tried various tools to format the memory card - ended up using a USB stick instead - worked no problem!

    Not quite sure about your step to wipe data and factory reset as that just puts me back where I was.

    However watching live TV streaming from TVheadend as we speak.

  • yes 100%

    installed from USB stick instead of SD card. Could not get the box to pick up the SD card (despite the fact that it did the first time when the install failed).
