I've flashed it into NAND no problem, using the toothpick method.
To install OpenElec on your X8-H, X8 Plus, X8-H Plus, follow this procedure:
1. Download Minitool Partition Wizard from here: Best Free Partition Manager for Windows | MiniTool Partition Free (thanks @Roylegr!)
2. Format your SD Card with Minitool Partition Wizard in FAT32 format
3. Rightclick the USB partition in Minitool Partition Wizard, and under Modify, selected Change Partition Type ID
4. Select 0x81 Minix/Linux and click OK
5. Then click Apply on the top left (don't forget this, as Minitool Partition Wizard doesn't apply immediately)
6. Now download the OpenElec 5.0.8.7 Surkovalex build from here: http://amlinux.ru/image/5.0.5/Op…P.arm-5.0.5.zip (take the .ZIP one)
7. Unzip the three files in this ZIP file to your formatted SD card.
8. Turn off your Minix X8-H completely and insert the SD card in the side slot.
9. Then with a paperclip press the little reset button on the back of your device and keep it pressed while turning on the device. When you see the Minix logo appear, release the paperclip from the reset button and wait.
This gives you OpenElec 5.0, which is only a start (even though this build works the best of all builds I ever tested).
Then, start it up, connect it to your network, in the settings activate Samba.
Once Samba is activated, from your PC you can just browse to the box from your Explorer, and place any .tar file in the Update folder.
Reboot the box and it updates to that build.
I just have a SD card with this Surkovalex build, so if I mess everything up, I can always revert back using this method and then install a .tar of my choice.
