Hi johnberg

1. Winscp into your box.

2. Navigate to confluence folder. Think its in .kodi/addons/confluence/720p/

3. Double click the DialogButtonMenu.xml file

4. Search for the words reboot button you should see code similiar to following

Code

<control type="button" id="8">
                <description>Reboot button</description>
                <width>340</width>
                <height>40</height>
                <textcolor>grey2</textcolor>
                <focusedcolor>white</focusedcolor>
                <align>center</align>
                <textwidth>290</textwidth>
                <texturefocus border="25,5,25,5">ShutdownButtonFocus.png</texturefocus>
                <texturenofocus border="25,5,25,5">ShutdownButtonNoFocus.png</texturenofocus>
                <onclick>Reset()</onclick>
                <visible>System.CanReboot</visible>
                <pulseonselect>no</pulseonselect>
                <font>font13</font>
                <label>13013</label>
            </control>

5. Under that paste the following to add the button.

Code

<control type="button">
                <description>Reboot to Internal</description>
                <width>340</width>
                <height>40</height>
                <textcolor>grey2</textcolor>
                <focusedcolor>white</focusedcolor>
                <align>center</align>
                <textwidth>290</textwidth>
                <texturefocus border="25,5,25,5">ShutdownButtonFocus.png</texturefocus>
                <texturenofocus border="25,5,25,5">ShutdownButtonNoFocus.png</texturenofocus>
                <onclick>System.ExecWait("/usr/sbin/rebootfromnand")</onclick>
                <pulseonselect>no</pulseonselect>
                <font>font13</font>
                <label>Reboot to Internal</label>
            </control>

6. Switch to a different skin and switch back to confluence to refresh skin (or you can reboot box). Press letter s on your keyboard to bring up the power menu. Hopefully Reboot to internal option should be listed. It may take a few seconds after you click it for the box to reboot into android.

Let me know if this works for you

I am trying to set this up as well, followed above but as you can see in the picture the reboot and reboot from internal are mushed together. So it will only reboot.

Can you help me space it so it is separated?

Much Appreciated.

I have a Mecool M8S Pro l and have been running kszaq [8.2.2.3] LibreELEC 8.2 for S912 on my box. However now that he has retired.

I would like to keep kodi 17.6 current until Kodi 18 drops and I was wondering can I just drop wrxtasy newer updates 8.2.4.1 tar file onto the sd card to update or do I need to do a fresh format and install from scratch?

Thanks for the help.

I am running a Minix X8H-PLUS with the latest from Demetris.

I have noticed that if I use the power off system from within kodi, the power button will not turn on the box but rather I have to unplug and plug back in.

Any thoughts?

Cheers

Does anyone have the SCARD working on the NEO X8-H Plus with the new images?

I have it working on the usb but every time I have to rebootI need to remove the USB remote so it boots.

The sd card always gives the file corruption error.

Cheers

Is your internet working? I can boot into LE with the usb but my wired internet is not working and there is no option for wireless (not that I really want that). Something strange is going on but Balbes is very clever and I am sure he will work it out when he has some spare time.

I had the same problem when I updated to the newer version. Boots fine but no internet at all hard wired. Had to go back to older version 06-14 to get things working.

USB works but the benefit for me is that I don't have to always remove the USB mouse when I boot from sdcard.

Any ideas why the sd card gives the corruption error on the last few builds?

Cheers

has anyone tried the latest builds on an sd card? or will it also only boot from a USB stick?

Cheers

UPDATE: Works great on USB, but on SDCARD gives corruption error.

Have you tried the latest image MXIII_Plus ?

So far this new version is working great. Thanks for all the work on these builds.

Quote from balbes150

The test version for H8X_plus.

Yandex.Disk

Have you tried the option LAN100 ?

Have you tried the latest image MXIII_Plus ?

Welcome back. I will try this update now

Quote from tnds82

Hello Demetris

I tested the X8H Plus version, but unfortunately it does not work.

I did several startup tests but it always shows error

I made a small correction in the creation of dtb.img but without success

I have a version that I created through the modification of balbes150 with some options that I added of kodi1 and it boots to the system correctly, however the wifi does not work correctly

I wanted to be able to test your version to confirm that the wifi is working properly. Can you help me?

edit:

I did some more tests and got to work through the update

I installed my image and then did the update by adding ".nocompat" in the update folder.

In tests performed happens precisely the same, wifi does not work

Any chance you could upload your working image for me to try, as I don't need wifi. I have the same box and balbes150 hasn't been around to update to kodi 17.3 yet.

Cheers

I have a Minix NEO X8-H Plus.

Does anyone have the LibreELEC-S8X2.arm-8.0.2-X8H-PLUS.img working on this box.

I tried to install it but it comes up with a Not Compatible message. Since the file says 802 and the box is 812?

I gather I need to use a .noncompat file in the update folder, but want to make sure this is okay.

Cheers

Update I tried the image with no compat but it does not work. It starts to boot then the box shuts off.

balbes150 will you be updating the images for the security fixed Kodi 17.3?

Cheers

Can we just put the new image in the update folder? or does it have to be a brand new install?

Thanks

1. Updated test image for Minix (20170514).
2. Question to those who uses the image MXIII_Plus, please compare how it will work the way LAN1000. Is there a difference in behavior. I want to leave one of these options. I have both work the same.

2- Minix X8-H Plus with MXIII_Plus was getting random system lockups, LAN1000 for last 6 hours no freezes and no lockups. Strong and steady

Thanks for the hard work on these builds.

Need to reactivate the multi-boot.

Thanks for the links, I will look at them.

You created on the SD card the /boot directory, and suffered in his boot.scr ?

The latest version of the Minix image behaves the same (does not start) ?

This may not work because the kernel may not have the overlay of the last patches (which may be invoked by other components).

I use the Librelec USB-SD Creator
If I use the 04/18 image LibreELEC-S812.MXIII_Plus.arm-8.0.2.img everything boots fine
If I update or start a new install of 05/13 the filesystem corruption error occurs
Replacing the Kernel image the filesystem corruption error does not occur.

Playing around with this I discover that if I take the Kernel image from the working image from April and use it on the images from May the boot proceeds. However it stalls because it fails to load kernel modules.

Interesting that the file system corruption error does not appear.

Must be something has changed in the Kernel image?

Quote from 7up

Loaded 5/10 8.02 version with .tar file and updated without issue. Now tried updating to 5/13 8.02 version with .tar file and won't boot. Error msg during boot regarding failed Kernel load. Clean install with 5/13. .gz file with dtb installed and working normally.

are you using a Minix X8H-Plus ?

Which file are you using since there at 4?

usb or sd card

Yes wifi module AP6335 >bcm4339

I turned off the box inserted sd card then put a paperclip in the reset.
Turned on box and when green logo appears released the power button then released paperclip.

The box then booted normally and the next time I turned it on if the sd card is in the slot it boots to the liberlec from sd card.

If I remove the sdcard it boots from internal memory.

The image from May boots no problem, but the newer images give the error.

I have tried to get a usb to boot with the same method but it will not.

I have tried both USB slots, but it always boots from internal memory.

Quote from balbes150

Use a USB flash drive.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to get this Minix to boot from USB, and had a lot of different suggestions to try.

That is why I bought the sdcard which seems okay. The 04 file boots okay though. Odd
