Hi Andreaf.
There is my experience how install and running LibreELEC with my box MXV+ (MXV Plus):
1. First - you must create dualboot patch on your box (s905_multi_boot · 150balbes/Amlogic_s905 Wiki · GitHub) . How to: Download two files from Yandex.Disk - aml_autoscript, aml_autosctipt.zip.
Copy both files to SD card. Boot your box to Android, inser SD card. Then you must go to section programs and start Update&Backup , choose file aml_autosctipt.zip and start Update. Box will be rebooted to Android again - it is OK.
2. Next step is copy IMG from LibreELEC-S905.aarch64-7.0.2.007.img.gz. You must unzip file LibreELEC-S905.aarch64-7.0.2.007.img.gz to LibreELEC-S905.aarch64-7.0.2.007.img (use for example 7zip). Then you can use Win32DiskImager and to write IMG to SD Card.
3. Download correct dtb.img from device_trees . On my MXV+ works correctly file gxbb_p200_1G_1Gbit.dtb . After download you must rename it to dtb.img. Then copy dtb.img to your SD card a rewrite original dtb.img there.
4. Switch on your box without inserted SD card. Box will boot to Android. Install to Android some boot application, for example " [root] Simple Reboot" from Google Play Store.
Now insert SD card to box and via Simple Reboot Reboot box to Bootloader (not to recovery)
Box will boot to LibreELEC. I hope so , because this procedure works on my box.
BTW: Special thanks to kszak. Perfect work!!! Thank you.
