    If you want an internal boot there are a few extra steps:

    1. Since Demetris hasn't made zips for his packages, we have to find a work-around to start off with. Download LibreELEC-Amlogic.arm-M8SPlus-7.0.2-update.zip from here: MEGA
    2. Insert your SD card to your computer. Make sure its formatted to FAT32.
    3. Copy the zip you downloaded to the SD card
    4. Hold down the reset button inside the AV port hole (use a toothpick or something) and plug in the box. It should boot to the internal flash recovery.
    5. Insert the SD card into the Q2.
    6. In the recovery options, choose "apply update from EXT", then choose your SD card and then choose the zip file. It should then flash LibreELEC to the internal memory of your box

    Be careful with this!! Appeared to properly flash my M8SPlus but now bricked - does not boot LE at all and hangs at vendor splash screen.

    All attempts at unbricking fail so far.
