Hello! I dont speak very nice English, i am from automatic translate.

if you know, tell me about these two tv boxes,

which libreelec versions with their respective device trees should I put on an sd card.

1. W95 2/16gb Android 7.1 2. A95X F3 4/64gb, Android 9.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, you are asking in a dead topic, please try here:

it's written Keep in mind that only "amremote" is supported but i can't find any information to set up my remote

There is a very big misunderstanding here, under LE11 no one wrote that there is amremote support, because it is not supported.

The LE9.2 version I created is an unofficial community version, it was actually supported there, but the LE11 is a completely different topic.

I checked and there haven't had any access issues with my server since yesterday, so the LibreELEC repo was working properly.

However, I cannot comment about Kodi game (alpha) repo, because it is not hosted on my server.

Official release was never made for this box, only a community image. If you think so, try mine:

http://libreelec.dtech.hu/snapshots/20230305_master_8fae180/LibreELEC-Generic_S912.arm-9.2.8.8.img.gz

I agree with chewitt, the box still doesn't have the actual original bootloader, or the label on the RAM chips is fake. But if it doesn't cause any problems, then I think you should leave it at that. Many boxes work without problems with 1 GB of RAM, under Leia it is not so problematic.

However, there is one important thing: please turn off the automatic update on the LibreELEC Settings interface, because I will release v9.2.8.8 soon, and it will overwrite the modified kernel.

The reason for this is the following:

...

To set expectations, here’s the ‘No’ list:

• No support for updates from older LE releases (clean install is mandatory)
• No support for internal eMMC install except WeTek Hub/Play2 and SBC boards
• No support for SSV6501 and S908CS WiFi chips
• No drivers for in-box DVB tuners
• No hardware deinterlacing
• No HDR to SDR tonemapping
• No formal support for newer S905X2/D2/Y2, S905X3, S922X, A311D devices (read below)

Only managed to boot from MXIII-1GB image, but then the "read only" known issue

Please try the n200 image with this kernel:

Index of /_TEST_/MXIII-G_1GB-kernel/

If it starts with this, your Android is unfortunately only lying that you have 2GB of RAM, but in fact it only manages 1GB.

The root of the problem doesn't start here, as I see. I think your box does not have the original ROM with the factory bootloader, because based on the photos, there are 4 pieces of 512MB Samsung K4B4G0846C chips on the PCB.

So, in short...

Your box is equipped with 2GB of RAM, but it seems that the factory ROM has been overwritten. You should first find the factory ROM for his box from somewhere and flash it. If you're done with that, you should try the Universal k200 image. (But this wifi chip really won't work.)

Hi all,

Is't wifi WPA3 supported?

I'm not able connect to wifi with wpa3 from my minix X8H-Plus.

The box is older than the WPA3 protocol itself. Do you think its wifi chip supports it?

Please don't be so naive, handling encryption requires hardware support physically integrated into the wireless chip.

As far as I know, time travel hasn't been invented yet...

I use the air mouse, the remote.conf contain this ?

No, it's a standard USB HID device, you don't need anything, it will work.

Quote from tatsuyaizanagi

Can I run from sd-card the Legacy version of this?

Absolutely. You need to use Generic_S905 image and gxbb_p200_2G_minix_neo_u1.dtb.

And, if you use it with the factory remote control, you should save remote.conf from your old system.

Quote from DzaQ

After burning bootable SD card with Legacy v9.2 img there is no uEnv.ini to edit and "dtb" folder with device-trees...

There is "dtb.img" file which have to be replaced by correct file from "device_trees" folder - i did that many times with several files...

No success...

I would only know why I wrote a description in the #1 post, if nobody ever reads it. It is almost 100% that the toothpick method was not performed.

Another detail. The option to open the game with PS emulators does not appear. Both are already installed. I know that I must also provide the BIOS. That if it works.

Unfortunately, game stuff is outside of my area of interest, so I didn't delve into it at all. Originally, my repo didn't include it, but since several people requested it, the binaries that contaided in LE 9.2 were included.

Unfortunately, all I can still say is that if anyone encounters any bugs and has a solution, I'd be happy to PR them on GitHub.

Great job, tried few images on S805 and S905L everything is perfect, many thanks to Dtech.

One of my TV boxes is with Amlogic Meson8b (S805) SoC and the image LibreELEC-HD18Q.arm-9.2.8.7.img working geat in eMMC, but there is no Docker and no way to install it. As i need Docker most than anything else, how this can be done?

Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do to make it work. Under the 3.10 kernel, Docker simply cannot work.

Quote from the "IMPORTANT NOTES - Please read them carefully before asking" section of the #1 post:

Quote from dtech

• Docker only works under 64-bit SoCs (S905/S905X/S905D), it is not available on 32-bit systems (S802/S805/S812)!

Quote from FlavioDeLima

I tested and saw that extFAT does not work 😞. NTFS doesn't even hold out hope for an older kernel.

Well, the fact is that both file systems supported: exFAT and NTFS. Most likely, your box is not able to supply enough current for the HDD, so it won't start at all. But since the factory DC adapter of these boxes is usually 5V/2A, there is nothing strange about this.

Quote from FlavioDeLima

Accidentally, I discovered that I can put the system even one SD and a second stake in an external HD (keeping the name and format ext4).

A survey: put backup and format a second partition in FAT32 or extFAT?

It is not really clear to me what and why you want to format. Do not do anything with the data medium on which LibreELEC is installed, because its partition layout is fixed. If you modify a partition on it, LibreELEC will no longer boot properly. However, with other media you actually do what you want.

Before that, coreelec 9.2.x was installed. I got the 2 tvboxes (mxq "all black" and mxqpro4k) the same day, but because you only provide images for the one with s805, I could not leave the other one with android and ce was the only option I had.

Could it be that you have an S905X SoC in your box? Which dtb did you use under CE?

cat /proc/device-tree/amlogic-dt-id

Quote from jim_p

There was not much point in upgrading too, but I gave it a try

And before that, which version was installed that worked?

Quote from jim_p

Anyway, once I am done with le 11, I will try your image again.

If the LE11 will work on your box, there's not really much point in downgrading.
