Booting to Android Recovery or TWRP Recovery sometime may be enough to stop LibreELEC from Autobooting again when you power on or reboot from Android.

In that case simply hold in the Reset button again, or whatever method you first used - when connecting power to restart autobooting into LibreELEC.

I performed the reboot process a couple of times going from LE to Android and back again and it will keep going back to LE automatically now indeed. I'm 100% sure that I had to perform the reset button method again in the past to get back to LE, so there must have been some instability in LE builds and/or Android booting at the time.

I don't know about your box, but I agree with Pelican.

So you are saying that if I boot from LE (on SD) to Android using the "boot to internal" option from the menu, leave the SD card in and reboot again from Android, it will go back to LE automagically without doing anything?

Quote from Pelican

That's not true at all.

If the sd card inserted (and it doesn't matter if you reboot from android or from LE) then LE will start without any intervention,

How can you say that when it is exactly the kind of behaviour my box displays? Must depend on the type of device then.

Quote from Vincs

I know it's running on the SD Card, but some installation starts directly on a sd card if present and there is some option to reboot from one to another.

Once you started LE once from SD card, using one of the methods described in the installation guide, your box will automatically boot from the SD card again the next time. This is the case as long as you don't specifically request to boot to Android (either by the menu option from the LE UI or by removing the SD card).

It will basically boot automatically to the the last OS you used.

Once you used Android again, you will have to repeat the steps from the installation guide you used to boot to LE the first time to get LE again.

All this is independent of the version of Android you have.

If you have an actual problem, please tell us what it is exactly.

Hi guys!

Does anybody know is there any solution to enable sleep mode in LE on S912 box?

It has been removed on purpose because it was unreliable across the different S912 boxes, causing more harm then good.

Quote from Jeffers

How do you 'make a button'?

It's getting too off-topic. It's neither S912 nor even LibreELEC related any more. You'd be much better off discussing these matters in the Kodi forums.

Hello !

I've got a Beelink GT1.

Which version of Android do you recommend to be running with LibreElec ? That by default will be running LibreElec if the sd card is inserted.

Thanks for your good work !

No Android is needed, nor used, to run LibreELEC. The complete Linux based OS is on the SD card.

Hey guys, I heard a lot about s905 and s905x. What about s905d (KI PRO)? Is S905d so compatible like s905 and s905x for libreelec? What about Mali drivers? I'm thinking to buy one s905d because I read that s905d is so much better than s905x... but I don't want to get one that is like a s912 that it is a monster on performance but it hasn't (for while) drivers/softwares support... so.. which should I buy? (I like that it has a DVB-C and DVB-S... but maybe I can buy a DVB-C/DVB-S PCI express to make a TvHeadEnd server on my linux PC and streaming it on others cheap boxes... i need to think about.. my lan is 1gbps but I don't believe so much on share/stream on my lan.. I bet that it will get some freezing while watching live tv.. )

Please keep S905 discussion in its dedicated thread.

Quote from Pelican

Something is wrong there.

If I reboot any oy my box it boots to LE. The Android is the one which need the trick (boot to LE and the reboot to internal).

It's because he actually used "Reboot to Internal" from the LE boot menu.

Quote from Zeex92

Thanks for the input... I will try...

Fear not, you did it before, you just need to do the exact same thing again to boot to LE and simply not touch Android any more. After a successful boot to LE it will keep booting to LE by default without additional steps.

Quote from Zeex92

If I reboot, it boots into Android again NOT LibreELEC...

Since you booted back to Android again, you'd have to perform the same steps to boot to LE again as you have done for your initial boot to LE. There is no way to do this from the Android interface. Multiple options might work for you to boot to LE, as described here:

[HOWTO + FAQ] Install community builds on S905/S905X/S912 device But you'd have to try it yourself as the options that work differ for the different devices.

Quote from ArtUrlWWW

Of course, I know ))).

But I thought, that there could be professionals, who know, how to solve such problem :).

Those professionals would prefer separating topics in appropriate forums and appropriate threads, keeping this thread limited to S912 discussion in general. You're better off with a separate thread when it gets too device specific.

You can try this build with latest OSCam revision: service.softcam.oscam-8.2.103a.zip

Not runtime tested!

Working like a charm! It's too bad I can only press the "like" button for your post only once. Luckily there's a PayPal button to press as well Many many thanks

Hi,

The OSCam add-on provided in the default LE repository contains build r11350 of OSCam. Due to issues with a new decoder card I need a newer build, but I can't find it anywhere.

I found one here, but despite a add-on version number increase from 103 to 104, it appears to still contain build r11350.

I'm not sure where the current add-on comes from, but would it be possible to update it to include the most recent version of OSCam? Or would you know where I can find I more recent build for an S912?

Quote from Diomar

Hello, I'm from Brazil and I'd like to know if this update is more stable than the previous one for KIII thank

You'd have to be more specific about which versions you want to compare. "This update" and "previous one" can both be interpreted in different ways, depending on the context.

Please provide exact versions and/or file names.

Quote from uomoint

hello, I'm waiting for a s905x box. In order to see my 4k HDR 10bit video, I have only to insert this command line in autostart.sh ?

echo '444,10bit' > /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/attr

Wrong thread for discussing that device. This thread is s912 related.

Quote from chelobaka

SMB works for me as well (Debian host), but I can't see suspend option in Kodi anymore.

Suspend was removed a while ago due to it being unreliable, providing too great a risk of stuck devices.

Quote from neerajp

Ok, here's what I have tried so far.

Installed the build with the correct device tree. The installed tvheadend 4.2 using zip install. SSH remote.conf to make the remote work.

On the Tvheadend web interface I enabled availink avl6862 tvb t device. Added a network using Australia Melbourne (tried generic as well)

Went back to devices and selected the network on the device. Force scanned the network which always returns a failed status for all mux.

Tried this entire procedure on 8.0 c , 8.0 e and now on 8.1 as well.

One observation is that while scanning the status on the device shows signal strength in 90%+ however SNA is always 0. Is that why the scans are always failing? Is there an issue with the firmware? Btw I have tried scanning channels on TV and on the android DTV app both work flawlessly so there are definitely no issues with the antenna signal.

Again, please, start a discussion for this in a different/new thread. This thread is not the place for it. You're busy with something that applies to any device, not just the S905, nor AMLogic for that matter. You'll get more and better help elsewhere, as well as that you're not polluting this thread, which is about just S905 related matters. You need to keep things separated to make it easier for yourself and others.
