Good news!

Got LibreELEC-S912.arm-8.2-Nougat-8.1.3.img (written with Rufus) with gxm_q200_2g.dtb tree (renamed to dtb.img) to boot from a microSD card on my Cooleme MB2 via the Terminal Emulator [reboot update] method! Yeah! Note it will not boot from USB. Oh, and the original IR remote appears to be fully functional.

Now... guess I've got more reading to do... Kodi 17.4 is very different from my days with XBMC.

Many thanks to kszaq and to all the others who've managed to get this project this far!

Hi bubblegum57,

Assuming you're speaking to me:

Quote from bubblegum57

have you tried using the reset switch, if there is one, have you tried other device trees?

No, but I have toothpick in hand. I've only tried the gxm_q200_2g.dtb tree (renamed to dtb.img).

kszaq Hmm... note that my Android Recovery mentions "q201"... would that be of issue?

Quote from bubblegum57

personally, I use rufus to create the image.

Yup, I used Rufus (v2.16.1170) too.

Trying to boot on a Cooleme MB2 TVbox

Tried both USB ports via the Terminal Emulator, "reboot update" method, sends me to the Cooleme "Android Recovery" menu. The remote control can be used for navigation.

What do I do now? I just want to test it, I don't want to install it.
