Okay, maybe not golden after all. The m201 build will install, but the boxes show only 345mb of RAM with Libreelec. They show 800 and something running android. It works okay until I go to install a build and then it crashes, I guess due to lack of memory. Suggestions?
edit: okay, read about the fake values reported on those boxes
Are you running it from the SD or did you install to internal?
So thanks to Libreelec I've been able to redeem some old MXQ boxes for up to date Kodi use. I usually identify the real ones by having the lights on the nic (and being heavier), but I've just encountered one that does have the lights but it wont take the SD card, just hangs on the S805 boot up logo when I plug it in while holding the AV reset pin. Strange, usually I find most of the legit MXQ boxes have just MXQ as the boot splash, so I dunno whats going on. I know I could pull apart the box and look at the board but is there anything else I can try? Using kszaq's versions which I've used successfully all along.
I loaded Libreelec onto a S805 MXQ box, I've done it a few times now. I have some spare remotes and junk here and the one I usually use doing this worked fine. When I brought it back to the persons house, their remote wont work right with the box. It looks nearly identical to the one I use at home, its the black rectangle with the multicolored buttons at the top, the only difference is mine has the colored buttons below the TV control buttons at the top, theirs has the colored buttons directly below the main power buttons. The 4 buttons around the main navigation are also rearranged and theirs has the alphabet above the buttons instead of printed directly on them.
For example, pressing left on theirs makes it go back. Down and power are about the only things that work right. Backspace is left, the number 0 is enter. I've been reading about remote.conf but I cant find it, I dont see the storage folder when I bring up the box in explorer, and trying to access it via SSH says access denied even though I'm logged in with root/libreelec. What next?
I had this box come for someone lately and I was really impressed with the performance, this was a totally debloated android 6.0.
