    the link above ain't working

    your build is in the updated first post too?
    cause that the one i'm using
    the only way my box boots if i have a sd card inserted that i made using bootmaker with android u-boot bin.

    Yes it is in first post. Prepare sd card with original uboot file. Extract zip file to a sd card, copy aml_autoscript and recovery from your original fiware to sd card and give it try. If there is still problem with boot try reinstall android and use update app from android.

    Yea, mine seems to be an older revision. Although surprised that the stock firmware for your board works just fine on mine, especially the Android graphics which I believe works over EGL using SurfaceFlinger though. So I suspect the breakdown is somewhere between EGL<->directfb since this is where the graphics stack on Linux differs to Android.

    I will try enable serial console so you can trace where is problem with kodi


    m8 v8.9 doesnt work unless i make a sd card with the u-boot of the M8S.BCM4335.Oct29.2015 android firmware. Is there a way to add the u-boot to the librelec so i could use it without a sd card or already made firmware
    thx in advance

    What do you mean "doesnt work unleas..."
    Did you try install my build?

    Download zip file from link.
    Unpack downloaded file to a FAT32-formatted SD card - there will be files as a result: factory_update_param.aml and a zip file with an update.
    Install ROM using "toothpick" method.

    Thanks for your help on this, but still no joy. Piece of crap Chinese clone. Kodi doesn't seem to start but can't confirm if it's exactly the same problem as the console over COM is not enabled.

    I'll have to get a build environment setup for your code base and add further tools into the image to try and debug EGL under framebuffer.

    Thanks again

    You can compile le from Kerber: LibreELEC.tv/ at libreelec-7.0-S8xx · surkovalex/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub
    Device M8S options edit:
    Kernel extra targets to build
    KERNEL_UBOOT_EXTRA_TARGET="your file.dtd your file.dtb"

    And insert yours .dtd file in Linux source

    Hi,

    Tried downloading an OneDrive reports and no longer available. Flashed your version of u-boot, still no joy. u-boot is fine and boots LibreELEC os but still can't start Koid.

    Thanks for you time one this.

    Haven't flashed your Android image yet, I'll do that next.

    Your Android stock image flashes just fine too with WiFi working as expected. So it does appear to be something to do with the LibreELEC image. Perhaps the 4k patches. I'm currently connected to a 720p monitor right now.


    Try THIS it is without 4k patch,

    I tried 720p resolution on my tv and it works. Do you use HDMI-HDMI or HDMI-DVI cable?
    Can you try your box on tv?


    I have attached the decompiled DTD extracted from boot.img inside my Android stock ROM that works. Had to rename extension to txt to allow attachment.

    Yours .dtd file have small difference if compared with one that I used to compile. I will try compile with .dtd file that You post and upload working version to server.

    My box is version M8 V9 if i remember, I will check this.

    You can download firmware and uboot on this LINK
    Please try with this uboot file.

    Identical to mine, other than mine is an October 15 build and yours is a September 15. Do you have your u-boot.bin at hand so I can flash yours?

    Please extract .dtd file from yours Android image so I can compare and compile if there is difrence between .dtd files.

    Here are a couple of pics of my board
    [hr]
    One thing that is interesting is attempting to flash my stock ROM via TWRP fails with this image is bcm4335 but this board is k200, but I can flash the LibreELEC fine. Also flash both fine from Android recovery.

    Are you sure that this board have bcm4335 Wi-Fi
    chip? (My box have Wi-Fi chip on back of board) Does Wi-Fi works when you flash original Rom?
    This boards are usualli n200 or n200c.
    Did you try Flash with THIS LE build from Kerber?

    Interesting, my stock android doesn't look like the one in the video nor have that app installed. The boot logo shows MediaBox with the following main UI, but full app list doesn't contain the app in the video.

    I'll follow up when I can with photos of the board, but it has "M8 v8_6 20150820" as a board marking. It is definitely an M8S though as I took the heat sink off to check the chip and it's a S812

    select + icon (add shortcut), there you will see something like this and select update&recovery.

    I have, although with this version is seems kernel and console over serial ports has been disabled so I don't see any output after u-boot hands over to the Linux kernel, LibreELEC does load, then a blank screen follows that I see with the previous release which I suspect is the same problem.

    can you send picture of your box (pcb board)? is libreelec logo normal size when device boot?
    please send uboot log.

    Nope, no joy using TWRP either. The original android recovery and TWRP seem to flash the image just fine. LibreELEC even boots the main OS and I can access the console over the serial port from the board, it's just that Kodi iteself fails to start and continues to fail with the following error

    Code
    00:06:31 T:3041833536   ERROR: EGL error in InitDisplay: 3003
