    I think it's because I copied the contents of the /storage folder from the USB drive from another MX2 that I updated with this method for my friend to MY sdcard. I don't know a whole lot about SSH, keys, etc., but I know there's a signature involved, etc.

    Yeah, this makes more sense now, and I see why it was unique to your issue. Thanks!

    Ok, I will try that tonight when I get home. I am using an external Edimax 11AC Wireless USB dongle so I can connect to my 5Ghz network. I will also try the built-in wifi device.

    Oddly enough, SAMBA works just fine. :)

    Interesting. I removed the RTL8188.conf file I created while troubleshooting WIFI as recommended by someone on this thread rebooted and wireless was better than it has been. I then streamed a 1080P file and the video was choppy and sound was off.

    In the past I have re mediated this with the media player setting where you enable HW acceleration. I did this and playback was then the best I have seen thus far. I believe I will now create backup as I do not believe it will get better than this.

    Also I do have an ASUS 5GHZ dongle . I read you were able to get a dongle to work. If so, how?

    BINGO!

    Found the problem. Just need to figure out how to fix it.

    This is the output of my 09_Journal-cur.log file on the LibreElec MX2 box:

    EDIT: I think I have to delete the /storage/.cache/ssh folder, and it will be recreated upon reboot. Next to figure out how.

    The bizarre piece is that you appear to be the only one getting this. I would recreate a new SD card which holds the Libreelec_DISK files

    I'm connecting via Wireless. The refusal is immediate.

    I get the following "Network error: Connection refused". I also cannot connect from Filezilla over SFTP. Get the same exact error.

    I have no trouble at all connecting to an Openelec device using Putty or Filezilla.

    Is the /storage partition formatted as FAT32 or EXT4?

    I would attempt to connect Hardwired as Wireless appear to be an issue. Putty, Bluetooth, appear to be working fine. Wireless "BLOWS" May have something to do with the driver.

    I get a connection refused message trying to connect to this device via Putty SSH. I've confirmed the SSH service is enable in the LibreElec configuration screen.

    I read somewhere it might have to do with the Storage partition being on an external USB drive. Anyone else having this problem?

    I have done this several ways on both a USB as well as an SD drive and have not run into a connection refused message. Are you sing Wireless or hard wired? The wireless latency may be an issue, if indeed your are using wireless.

    Hi KOPRajs and thanks for these builds.

    I had problem using the wifi connection. While the signal was fine, there was constant buffering, slow transfer speeds even from a NAS and disconnections.

    It was very much improved by doing the following procedure:

    1) Create the file: /storage/.config/modprobe.d/rt8188eu.conf
    2) Paste the following: options 8188eu rtw_power_mgnt=0 rtw_enusbss=0
    3) reboot or reload the module

    It apparently disables power management on the wifi module.
    Hope it helps anyone.

    So this worked for you and speeds are tolerable? Is this on the matricom MX2? I tried doing this and it would not boot.

    Sorry this will NOT WORK and it will completely disable your Wifi.

    Yes, you will need to do a new installation via the toothpick method. My method was I used a Linux VM to format my SD card as EXT3 with a label of LIBREELEC_DISK. I then copied the files from the new install ZIP file to it and used the toothpick method to install. I left the SD card in to boot, it boots up LibreELEC and Kodi as expected, but this is the SD card version and not the internal memory version. Enable SSH and connect to it, then run the tune2fs command specified in the first post. Power down the MX2, remove the SD card, then power on again and it should boot up normally.

    I tried looking for a reliable tool to format an SD card to EXT3 via Windows 7+ but could not find one so a Linux VM (with Ubuntu) was easier.

    So to summarize:

    1. Use a tool (or Linux VM) to format an SD Card using EXT3 and label it LIBREELEC_DISK
    2. Copy files from new install ZIP to SD Card
    3. Install using toothpick method
    4. Leave SD Card in and let Kodi start
    5. Enable SSH, connect from a computer, run tune2fs command
    6. Shut down MX2, remove SD card, power on again

    Thanks "amponzi" I got it to work, I guess I missed the unzip the downloaded new installation package onto the SD card and then do the recovery tool method. This allowed the update load with no issues. On the second reboot I inserted the USB v3 and it booted fine. A couple of issues thus far, Wireless is very slow and I am unable to boot successfully even after running the cmd to nand. I then hardwired and was able to load a build. So, two things I need to work on, 1. Boot off the internal nand, 2. improve wireless speed. Thanks for the assist.

    Interesting so I tried the update method via the internal folders and that went south FAST and now I have been failing at the recovery method . It fails right after attempting to validate to install. What could I be doing wrong?
