OK, so I've restored my stock ROM from cyx_m8s_v8.6_bcm4335_8g2g_kodi_addons_160125_SD.zip, are you saying I should use a recovery app from Android or that once I have restored stock ROM then I should boot into recovery and apply the LibreELEC update?
Thanks
You should use recovery app from Android.
OK, solved that problem by formatting /data partition from recovery. So now I get past initramfs stage and the LibreELEC system starts. Unfortunately kodi is stuck in a startup with the following log. Seeme the EGL init display fails with an error then eventually kodi crashes with a SIGSEGV.

Try to Flash device with stock Rom and original uboot file, then use recovery app in Android and install LIBREELEC
This is excellent. This is the closest I've got to getting LibreElec installed on my crappy M8S clone. I've been compiling custom versions of U-Boot to attempt to get 2GB of memory but as you have stated, kernel always fails to boot and panics.
I'll have to live with 1GB.
I've flashed so many different firmwares and whatnot over the last 12 months I might have got the partitions into a bit of a state. The LibreELEC splash screen load and the kernel loads fine (watching serial console) but it fails to mount one of the file systems with the following error
Error in mount_storage: mount_common: could not mount /dev/data
Any idea?S
Did you tried install Android firmware? then from Android install LIBREELEC...

Hi!
First off, I'm sorry to jump in with my issue here, but I've seen other people with similar S812 devices being redirected toward this thread.I have an OTT M8S (S812) 2G (clone, I assume) with bcm4335. full image here
I've had no success getting any of LE builds I've tried to successfully install on this device, as it appears that they're all built for the AP6330.
For the sake of reference, I've tried this build: MEGA, Drieschel's Build mentioned here: LibreELEC as well as balbes150's build: S6KtL-SVuHcLq, with no success. I either get stuck in a boot loop, frozen on the AML Boot logo or simply stuck on a black screen with no LED lit on the box itself.Here is a link to the box's stock firmware, where BT, Wifi & Lan all work: cyx_m8s_v8.6_bcm4335_8g2g_kodi_addons_160125_SD.zip
I've also extracted the dtd from that firmware: OTT_M8S_4335.dtdI'm more than happy to serve as a guinea pig to get a working version of LE for this device. If anyone is willing to help, I'd be most grateful.
Hi,
I am having hard time to get completly working firmware for same device. Wifi and bluetooth not working, I can use only 1gb ram (device show kernel panic if compiled with 2gb RAM dtd file), power off sometimes works but sometimes freze...
Please follow this link, i will post download link tonight, as soon as firmware upload on server.
Thanks. Please post also your dmesg log (the link) directly after (re)boot.
Codedmesg | paste
hi, here is dmesg:
dmesg.txt
Typically the M8S would use the meson8m2_n200_2G for the 2gig sram version... then you may need to correct for the wifi driver from within the build ...ive not used the LibreElec builds but they appear to be based on the OpenElec just with better publc support but either way you may need to allow some of the typical linux patches to make some corrections to the device tree to fix what ever issue you may have... most of the M8S's are the same ( including the clones) in most ways, its usually the ethernet and wifi that has issues from one board to the another... Ive used Enys exclusiively since the original M8S's awhile ago and even they have changed in wifi/bluetooth chipsets over the model line... Assuming LibreElec uses the same methodology in its build set as OpenElec did its best to use the existing sources and then apply patches in the patch directorys to make your changes rather then trying to edit the source files prior to building... if you must edit the source files its best to make your source edits and then recompress the file and adjust the md5 files that way your not fighting with the build system wiping out your changes all the time when you clean and build the editted packages...
I try to compile with meson8m2_n200_2g, something went wrong so I bricked my device... i Will try to unbrick and post results for meson8m2_n200_2g device tree.

Thanks. Please post also your dmesg log (the link) directly after (re)boot.

I Will post dmesg log as soon as unbrick tv box.
Thanks for trying to help.
If I can collect some more informations about the BCM4335 chip, I can try to activate the correct firmware for it.
Please type the following in a ssh console and post the result here:

here is results:
