  • Legacy v9.2 (LTS) builds for Amlogic S805/S8X2, S905/S912 and all WeTek boxes

    Sorry for not replying until now, I've been away from my build environment for quite a few days now, but I'll review your suggestions on what can be implemented in the next version. I would definitely like to ask for your patience for a few days.

    This does not make much sense, because the dtb id will not be enough, the size of the partitions can be different per manufacturer and/or model, so it makes no sense to flash a "similar" ROM.

    You should get the factory one, either from the manufacturer, or find someone who has the same device on a dedicated Android forum and ask them to make a raw flashdump of the box and upload it somewhere.

    We here on this forum, but especially on this topic, probably won't be able to help you.

    how to test it? i mean how to make a single file for usb_burning_tool? or something which can fix the partitions of the NAND and i am not after latest version i am satisfied with the 4.4 kitkat which was working smooth before it was bricked

    Unfortunately, I'm not an expert in ADB operations or Android-based tricks, I think bumerc can help you more with that.

    Amlogic USB Burning Tool also requires a specific ROM format, but my images are not firmware/ROM images, only OS images (kernel + rootfs), so these do not contain any manufacturer-specific partitions. (Except M8S+ and WeTek images!)

    Because I am tired trying roms after roms

    If it's not the factory one and there's no backup, it's not exactly a good base.

    Then there is a problem, because I don't have a 1GB image for S812, only for S802 (MXIII-1G).

    There was a test kernel for the 1GB box, it might work with that (but it was not made for the latest image):

    Has anything changed in your environment since December when it was working?

    I don't know after all this time.

    Quote from Meekys

    Updated LibreELEC?

    Yes. I have now installed the current 11.0.6 but the error still exists.

    Quote from Meekys

    Different raspberry pi? (3 vs 4)

    Nope. I don't have an RPi3, so it would be difficult to replace it. :)

    I'm sending a log excerpt for this, if that helps:

    Here is the remote.conf:

    Okay, this is actually a config of two different remotes integrated into one file. Well, not exactly the best solution. But one of these codes is also included in the image by default since v9.2.8.12 (0xff000001).

    Question:
    Does the remote control work even without your custom config?

    If the answer is no, then the other one will be, then try this: MXIII-G Remote (0x7f800001)
    (Of course, there is no guarantee that all buttons will work.)

    If you want to use your box to run network services, then LibreELEC is not necessarily the best choice, not least because everything runs with root privileges, and the kernel is also very old.

    In the past, there was an attempt to run OpenWrt, but I don't know if it is still available, because I don't see any published images:

    Vnc will also need port forwarding, plus an extra app on my end. Tbh, last time I tried vnc it was locally on the rpi3b+ running the nightlies of le 11 (before it was stable) and the results were dissapointing because the image that reached the client was very distorted.

    This is far from the VNC server for the RPi, it is based on the continuation of kszaq's previous work, which I have since optimized a bit:

    Quote from jim_p

    When something happens on the tvbox and needs my intervention, I connect via anydesk to the family's pc and then via ssh (the built in command of powershell) to the tvbox. Annoying procedure I know.

    If you want to access and/or configure something remotely that is more easily accessible through the GUI (or specifically accessible only from there), then I recommend the VNC server addon, which can be found in the LE repository under my images.

    Quote from jim_p

    That's all I had to say. Thank you for listening. Have a nice day :)

    Thank you for your description. In LibreELEC 9.2 there was a bug in curl that caused some addons to not work (or work incorrectly) if the URL contained an & character.

    Unfortunately, I didn't know the reason for this before, but a security vulnerability has since been discovered in curl, which is why I updated it to the current version, and with that the above error suddenly disappeared.

    That's why I thought you meant something similar, but in your case it was a different story. ;)

    jim_p Sorry to quote you from another topic, but what's wrong with the pvr.iptvsimple addon under Leia?

    Quote from jim_p

    Ideally, I would rather install dtech's 9.2.x build on its emmc, since there is no real benefit of using the latest version of kodi or le just for iptv.

    Just because, if curl's error also caused it, it has already been fixed in 9.2.8.12. However, if it was caused by something else, please provide a short description and/or a link where the error is written in more detail. Thanks.

  • Wetek Play 2 how to downgrade ?

    Quote from Old-guy

    I tried all "unbricking" methods but LibreElec won all battles and still is booting bravely every attempt I made (Tried several unbricking methods using the reset button on the bottom of the device as found in the Unbrick resources of Libre Elec

    Unfortunately, at the moment there is no (easy) way to restore, because the factory bootloader is overwritten by the LE11 image, and the function of the recovery button in the upstream uboot is not implemented.

    Quote from chewitt

    Upstream u-boot has no support for Amlogic proprietary restore image formats and sequences.

    Currently the only solution to boot from recovery sdcard is the emmc pin shorting method (I haven't tested this):
