Rufus and Win32diskimager set the sd card to FAT.
Using either tool, i can't get my MXQ Pro 4k to load from SD.
It boots to recovery, then states cannot load volume /misc
I've tried apply update from EXT, but it cannot load the aml_autoscript file from the SD card.
I've tried flashing s905_uboot_mxq_pro_4k.zip and it doesn't work either.
Thinking this board just can't run anything from SD Card.

I'll look at that when I get back from work. Thanks.
Could you please tell me what is this USB burning tool? Is it this tool? Download Amlogic USB Burning Tool v2.0.4.3

Yes, that is the USB burning tool.

Hi
I found today this build and while waiting for WeTeK Play2 I wanted to try it on some cheap chinese box I bought some time ago to test something. It is MXQ Pro Quick Play.
I tried both method to initialize LE (toothpick and reboot).
First one don't want to work - pushing reset button in AV hole won't bring recovery menu.
I tried to install app that reboot to recovery and...it worked...I mean I did get to the recovery screen but I couldn't start sys from SD. So I thought I would try to flash NAND - failed because of some unmount and mounting problems (didn't get pic and I don't remember what exaclty that was). Yeah...And now when I try to boot I'm getting

Code

Error in mount_flash: mount_part: Unknown filesystem

info and cli. Exiting it makes LE logo appear but then there's this error again and that's it. And because I can't get reset button to work like it should I'm not sure what can I do...maybe nothing and the device is bricked but I'd like to know that too.
Any sugestions?

You might have to open it to see what board you have. There's a v1 board which has the reset button in the AV slot but it's not soldered so you might need to connect it up to the PC using USB port 4 and USB burning tool to load the proper image for it.
I haven't been able to get it to load LE from the SD card either. It won't install the zip file for u-boot.

Hello,
Can anyone put here remote.conf for NEXBOX A95X? I have lost it

Here you go, i just renamed it. Remove the .txt.

I've had a look at the settings but can't see anything obvious in there that would turn the device. In fact it has the same settings as my NUC with the PulseEight USB CEC adapter and that doesn't turn itself off.

I'm wondering if it's something built-in to the device that puts it into standby after it's not been used for a while. It wouldn't be an issue but as I use CEC I can't turn it back on again without the original remote.

What device do you have specifically? I am using the A95x, and mine is always on with CEC enabled. I have no issues accessing it some 24-48hrs since last use. It just stays on.

I am having the same video corruption issues as posted above by Deezel when it switches resolution (from 720p to 1080p@24Hz for example). It seems to overlay the previous screen (multiple times like the pictures above) but the movie is still playing fine (and supported by the TV) behind these glitchy screens. My TV is a Samsung with 720p 60Hz resolution but capable of 1080p@24Hz (but not at 50 or 60Hz -it would need to be 1080i at those freqs).

I have tried disabling autoswitching of resolution in android but it makes no difference. I actually don't want to disable auto-switching, I'd like it to work without these artifacts - is this going to be possible ?

Thanks.

I have a 720p samsung tv as well, don't believe it is capable of 1080p but running the 003 version on SD, and no issues with setting resolution to 1080p. It actually seems to output better at 1080p on the screen. If set to 720p, i need to make adjustments and it doesn't fill the screen all the way. I have to do this for LibreElec and with the MXQ Pro 4k that is running android with SPMC as home launcher.

Thanks, I was a little worried I might have set something in Android before flashing LE. I'm trying to work out what's putting the device into standby over night.

check the CEC settings, perhaps it is setting off if no signal from the TV after a while?

Quote from Hans Gruber

Once you've installed this to NAND, do the Android settings have any effect on the device or is that all controlled by LibreELEC?

Pretty sure that this wipes the android OS and replaces it with libreelec, so no, the android settings will not have any effect.

Sorry Didn't have time to read all the posts yet
But I tried that as well and still no dice unfortunately...

You probably have a v1 board just as I do. I can't get it to load from SD either.

Good to know i have one on the way just to get the 2GB ram, do you leave your box on 24/7? Curious to know if the box is left on does it run out of memory like on my 1gb MXQ.

I'll post back as I always leave my boxes on 24/7.

Thanks to kszaq and everyone else that is working on LibreELEC. Using 003 on an A95X and it's working great. I tried 004 and I found the wired LAN transfers ,along with general UI navigation, to be sluggish. No such issues using 003. Haven't tried 005 yet as I'll wait for kszaq to officially release it, perhaps it just a test version at this point since he should be on a well earned vacation.
