Be sure to have the original Android Image for this box(es)

That sounds like a smart thing to do, but I'm not sure I know how to copy the original image out of the box.

I see it now. The card was partitioned into 2 pieces.

What about coping this into internal nand flash? Assuming I've tested the code on the SD card are there any pitfalls of doing this? I plan to do several boxes, so it could save the cost of the SD card for each.

OK so I got mine to work on the first try. I downloaded from kszaq.libreelec.tv. I'm using LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.2-8.2.3.1.img with gxl_p212_2g.dtb.

So I have a few general questions:

(1) Once the system boots from the SD card, where does Kodi's userdata go? Is it to the Android box's internal storage, or does it get written back to the SD card? I don't seem to see anything new on the SD card so I'm assuming it goes to the Android box. Correct me if I'm wrong.

(2) As long as everything seems to run OK and I then burn this to internal nand flash, will I be able in the future to replace with a different load by going through the same SD install process again?

What do you mean by base code...?

You just need an image of LibreElec for your box (S905) prepared on a microSD card (better) or USB stick and proper dtb file. I wrote about dtb in messege you quoted.

I use Rufus to make an image:

Image for your box would be this one:

How to prepare bootable microSD here:

It looks complicated but trust me. You'll be surprised how fast and easy the whole process is.

I mean which image. There's more than one for S905...

LibreELEC-905.arm-8.2.4.2-C2

LibreELEC-905.arm-8.2.4.2-S905Test-1529136339

LibreELEC-905.arm-8.2.4.2-Test2-wetekdvb

Try all p212_2g dtb's. One of them will work for sure.

gxl_p212_2g.dtb should work. If not try others p212_2g

With which base code?

Hi guys,

I just purchased the "T95X". It's description is:

2018 New Configuration SeekEdge Android Mini TV Box with 64Bit Amlogic S905X Quad-core CPU 2GB Ram+16GB ROM EMMC and Supporting 4K (60Hz) Full HD/H.265/2.4G WiFi/100M

Has anyone tried this particular box? I'm trying to determine the combo to get this to run LE.

Thanks...
