Your box has 2g8g and gigabyte lan for sure?

Try one of Demetris's builds. S802/S812-Libreelec images for 7/8/x

Open the download link under - S8X2 LE-8.0.1 & LE-8.0.2 & LE-8.2 images
In the image section look for the MXIII_Plus image for 8.2.2. and download (8.2.3 did not install properly form me and others). Then go to Demetris's forum and post 1519 and 1504. 1519 shows how to change the Android image to 115K4, which allows booting from SD. 1504 shows how to install from SD card. Read page 1 the fourth line and you will see download link for 115K4.

Download this

.nocompat

Unzip it and copy it to /storage/.update/

With the image you want to flash

Or login to box with ssh prior to flash and issue this command:

# touch /storage/.update/.nocompat

Do I have to revert back to android first? What do you mean 115K4? s805-autoscript?

Update. Somehow LE sees only 761MB. No wifi with M3 image.

You could try the MXIII_plus build. It worked with 3 M8S boxes I fix for friends and WiFi worked.

I'm using mx3 build, wifi switch is active, but no connection are shown. Lan works fine.

Sorry, I don’t have one to try, so I don’t know.

Success! I plugged usb adapter in a port close to HDMI out and LE installed successfully. Only MXIII image worked. But it does not see WiFi. The switch is active, but no connections are listed. Android sees wifi fine.

As I mentioned, I had no luck installing from SD card. Can you try with a USB to see if it works?

I'm using TF card with USB/SD adapter. Is it ok?

Edit. Stucks on logo with usb adapter. :-\

Image LE model S812 S802. Make on the basis of two GIT drieschel and kszaq , with some additions and changes. To use you must activate universal multiboot (after burning the image to SD card use toothpick method on a TV console). After a one-time activation universal multi-boot with TV box, you can use the images recorded on USB media. To use the TV box still images OE LE (with old multi-boot option), it is enough to copy to the FAT partition of those drives, file script s805_autoscript .

Hi, I have successfully installed LE on my M8S box. However there's a problem with Wi-Fi. Despite the switch is active, there are no connections listed. The chip is AP6330. Switched to Android, and Wi-Fi works fine.

Quote from senzalice

If you have not run LibreElec on your M8S before, then you need to first activate multi-boot from an image written to USB (you only do this once)

I noticed you also posted in this thread... [S812] MIII Plus 2Gb\16Gb eMMC

If you read page #1 you will find a lot of tips...especially post #11 about multi-boot and installing img.gz (I think "Download img.xz" was meant to be "Download img.gz)

Also, I used a USB stick to write img.gz because I kept getting corrupt errors when using SD card.

Even though I tried LibreElec 9 (Kodi 18 Leia) and it worked, I'm not using it because (1) whitelist does not contain all the required framrates (2) cannot get Dolby Digital 5.1 passthrough (3) no remote control support

I reverted back to Kodi 17.6 Krypton which has all those things working. (LibreELEC-S812.arm-17.6_20180106-MXIII_Plus.img.gz as in post #1)

Hi. I've burned the .gz to the SD and used toothpic method, but got some console errors.

Quote from senzalice

Yes, mine is KK 4.4.2 as well.

Remote control does not work, you need to use any usb wireless remote.

Remote s*cks anyway )) Does it see all ram? How huge is the performance difference?
How do I install img.gz?

Hello folks! I'm a newcomer in search for a good firmware for my M8S OTT box. 2/8 AP6330 N200.

Which one should I choose for mine? Also will newer lea work?

Quote from senzalice

Hi balbes150,

I have successfully installed and run your Kodi 18 (Leia) images for S812 - on an M8S OTT box (AP6330) on a USB stick.

I have tried both the MXIII_Plus and LAN_100 images and they work fine...except for the remote control.

I'm using the original remote control that came with the M8S.

I have tried a couple of "remote.conf" with no luck (from an M8 and an M8S)

Do you know of any "remote.conf" file that might work?

Thanks.

Hi there! So you say this firmware also works for M8S? I have exactly the same box, currently on android 4.4.2.
