Still no joy, same issue.
on all the FW, last three lines after flashing I get:
Image installed successfully.
script succeeded result was ( Image Installed successfully).
Install from sdcard completed.
Then I select reboot system now.
on reboot LIbreELEC splash screen.
then vertical lines.
Changed HDMI Cable switch TV same.
Sure getting above my pay grade. Reloaded OE all okay.
It is the same board in Post #31 M9&M8_v0.92. I can reload Android or OE both reloaded fine, tried 8.0.0-2 A and 7.0.0.2-2 both FW giving the same. Tried hooking it up to two different TVs same. Very weired.
update:
Open a New M8, never was touched. Loaded with stock Android.
Load LE 8.0.0-2 A, via update UI in Android, got this on reboot
"Event an Automatic repair attempt continuing"
"any key or power off your system within the next 120 seconds"
I rebooted same words printed on the screen.
After a like 5mins just resting there another error message appeared," that the system is broken beyong repair. Re-install LibreELEC".
Reloaded Android
Tried this time with 7.0.2-2, same message printed across the screen.
I am starting beleive LE do not like these three boxes, or the other way around.
It has 2GB DDR3 Ram, and 8GB flash memory. Yep unplugged, replugged. Still same.
Also I downloaded the .img.gz unzip, but the img file failed to load in Amlogic USB_Burning tool.
Can you please tell me - step by step - how did you tried to flash the box in recovery mode?
I downloaded the FW 7.0.2.2, unzip, place the two files on SDCard. With OE on unit, Boot unit without SDCard while holding down reset button, enter recovery. wipe cache, wipe data, apply update from EXT select. Choose update from SDCard, select ...... 7.0-devel-update.zip, got image installed successfully. Reboot.
Got LibreELEC splash screen, after a few seconds screen flicker and vercital black & white lines, reboot same.
Tried also:
Reload Android, go to settings, other, system update, check wipe media, wipe data. Select file, unit rebooted, file loaded, reboot, LibreELEC splash screen, few seconds, same lines.
Yep, did it in recovery mode, and also tried update folder in OE. Tried on two SQ M8, same result. Both have OE 6.0.0.
Still loss.

Thanks for the reply; I did both methods, and both give the same. Splash screen "LibreElec" loaded then boot with half of the screen was black outed, with the other half black & white vertical lines.
Reflash OE 6.0, load the "LE .tar" in the update folder, reboot, same result.
Boot into recovery mode, wipe the cache, then reload with toothpick same again.
My unit is square M8 s802 Amlogic with the k200b original firmware.
Still trying to figure this out.
On the index page for M8 s802, there three files, a :img : tar : zip. Going from OpenElec to LibreElec can one put the tar in the update folder and reboot? Also unzipping the zip there are two files; the factory and the upgrade did not see the recovery.img, is this not needed to be able to use the toothpick SDCard method to flash?
