Thought so. Just checking

Thank you Frequenzy.

Hi Peeps.

I have had a quick look online at benchmarks.

But basically what box is worth keeping (giving one away to somone)

Box 1:

Mini M8S TV Box

Quad-core Amlogic S905 Android 5.1 2GB RAM.

Or.....

Box 2:

T8-AML-V2 Amlogic S802 Quad Core 2.0 GHz 1gb ram.

Im thinking the M8S is the better performer.

But please let me know what one is worth keeping.

Thank you as always.

Hi Peeps.
I have an MXQ Pro box that I have been trying to get LE working on for over 3 weeks now, lot of time spent
LE loads and installs fine.

The issue is the WIFI and Ethernet mac address change every reboot, so I have to enter the wifi key every time.
I have trawled through posts about it, and tried everything, from a custom 99 dev file to set the MAC address, to an autostrart.sh file..... 0 success.

Interesting...... but when the stock firmware (tried 4 different ones) are loaded on there the MAC address also changes every reboot!

Is the anything I can do to the USB Burning tool "mac_wifi.ini" file so it flashes a static one? Its the only way of fixing this I can think of.

Any tips or help would be very much appreciated. Its driving me freeeeaking nuts.

Hi kszaq,

I just wanted to come here and say amazing work man! You turned both my mxq pro and minimx into beasts from pretty laggy / unstable devices.

One caveat to your instructions though....For my mimimx for exmaple. There is no device tree with that model in the current updated folder. I used the device tree from the previous build. It seems to be working fine.

It's just that in the instructions to a newbie it might seem confusing to either download the generic device tree or use a previous one as further down in your instructions it says you can use an old device tree if it worked...

Thank you thank you thank you!

Hi Asipsis,
Just wondering what DTB file you used for your MXQ pro? And what version you installed 007?

I Can install it to nand but Wifi doesn't auto connect on reboot, I have to connect and renter the password every time

Thanks Buddy.

Just tried : gxbb_p200_mini_m8s.dtb
No joy :9
Still getting 169 IP. Tried setting static, still no connection.

Hi Guys,
Installed LE 007 on my Mini M8S , everything is smooth and working.
Wifi works, but the ethernet port doesnt seem to be playing well.
Constantly getting a 169 IP. Have tried setting a static IP, but it has no traffic.

Anyone seen this before?
Can anyone recommend a way of fixing it?
i used gxbb_p200_2G_100M.dtb.

Could that be the wrong one on the Mini M8S?

Have tried playing with connman. No joy. Still have to reconnect and enter password after every reboot.

Il give that a go. Thanks matey.

Craig, I went for all or nothing and installed version 5 onto nand

Akhems, that'd be really great.

The strange thing is Libreelec has boot directly from SD / USB for every other device i have.

This one will freeze at the s905 image with an SD Card and refuses to boot to USB in any of the ports (will just load the libreelec nand).

When I have android images on the disk it just ignores the pin push and boots to nand.

If your image doesn't work I think I'll just give it away

There ya go mate.

Hi Guys and Gals.
Quick question.
Just installed Libreelec (LibreELEC-S905.aarch64-7.0.2.007). Running loooovely!
However, when ever i reboot i have to connect up to my wireless every time (input password etc) from the Libreelec addon.
anyone every had this issue before?
Once its connected it stays and is super quick.

Box is a MXQ PRO (took nearly 3 days to get LE on there!! lol)
Thanks in advance.

Keks,

Mines a bit of a different problem as I cant get it to boot off an SD Card and it wont go into recovery with the pin press!

I can help you with that mate!! I have a generic firmware that has a good recovery partition on it, and it lets you boot of USB and SD Card.
Its the only firmware i have found that lets you do that.
Il dig out the link for you.

Hi Guys.

Got a head scratching problem!!
I have a MXQ PRO 4k (board is printed with MXQ S905 V2_0).

Box it came is has OTT MXQ PRO 4K on it. Generic i think.

Never had a recovery partition, so i found a random rom online and flashed it, all fine (althought andriod OS) i now have a recovery.
I have been trying to install Libreelec 7.0 to the NAND, no joy.

I can run it from USB and it functions well, but when i run the installtointernal script, all goes well no errors.
However on reboot i just get a black screen than doesnt change. I have to short the NAND and reflash using USB Burning tool (2.0.8)

After reflashing with a working rom (have to short the NAND pins) and trying again the same issue happens.
Have tried versions 002 and up. Also used the MXQ PRO DTB file

I looked at the internal NAND, and it looks like it isnt writing to it(?) After running the script the space used remains at 16mb... like it hasnt writen anything.

Any help on this would be really appriecated.

Also massive thanks for everyones hard work they put into this project.
