.zips won't install same thing

when i try to boot the IMG flashed sd i get "filesystem correuption dectected!" and it attempts an automatic repair but doesn't succeed. fsck says read-only filesystem when it tries to repair SD.

I don't remember the s82 openelec 6.0 image i used before that worked.
**EDIT** Index of /image is where i got the image that worked. s82 version of 6.0.0

***EDIT2***
I think I got it working by installing the openelec that worked before and using the .update .tar from the MXIII 1G. it's doing "add-on migration" now

I was getting the same corruption error on my S802 using the S82 image. What I found it is that you have to use the USB stick vs. Card.

What I did was:

Use the gz image and write it to a USB stick using the LibreELEC.USB.SD.Creator.Win32.exe
Then copy the ZIP and TAR file to the USB stick (not sure both are needed but it worked for me).

Then boot the box using the toothpic method and with the USB stick plugged into the USB port closest to the back (at least on my box - MXIII - the USB ports are on the side). When menu comes up, choose reboot. It should now read the USB and install.

After all done, best to run from internal NAND vs. USB stick.

Cheers

If it is a MX-III 2G/8G, you should be using LibreELEC-S8X2.arm-8.0.1-S82.tar not the MXIII-1G image
MX-III Plus image is for units with Gigabit network. The standard MX-III has only Fast Ethernet.

Thanks for the quick response and guidance. I tried the image file but received "Filesystem corruption has been detected!" message. Self repair fails

Update: I was able to resolve this by placing the files on a USB stick and rebooting after using the tooth-pick method. I'll let you know if this solves the "wired" connection issue I reported earlier.

Update 2: Happy to report all is working great now! Thanks again for the quick responses and terrific work.

Got it working, thanks for the information you were right my MXIII 2G is S802 Soc the MXIII Plus didnt work but the MXIII1G.tar file worked beautifully. Big Shout out to Drieschel and Demetris for putting in the time creating these builds so I can keep my box up to date.

I am using an aftermarket remote/keyboard usb remote, My only issue i have is my back button doesn't work on remote end just keyboard side del button works as back. but most Important my menu button (Right Click) doesn't work either. I added the remote.config to the ConfigFiles but My back button and menu still don't work any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Also by buddy has an MXq box with file would i use for that one I believe its a S805 soc.

Thanks again for all the help greatly appreciated.

Hello.

I have a MXIII 2G/8G box. Using the MXIII Plus image (LibreELEC-S8X2.arm-8.0.1-MXIII-PLUS.img.gz) worked great, except the wired connection would not work (gave a bogus IP address) and the WIFI connection worked but the throughput seemed poor and would often fail in copying files. Everything else appeared to be ok.

Tried to use the MXIII 1G image but on booting it said the file was corrupted. Any advice on what image I should use that solves the wired network connection issue?

Great work by the way. Having these boxes on LibreELEC is so much bettter than Android. My S905 rocks now.
