Hi all,
I have some RockPi 4B Plus with soldered EMMC and a H96Max+. I have tried both with the official LE images.
RockPi 4B Plus runs but has 2 issues (no CEC, rejects wifi passphrase)
H96Max+ has one issue - no wifi.
Can these unofficial images fix these issues? If so, are there instructions on how to install? (25 pages has given me some idea, but not everything.)
Thanks!
OK, so it seems that there was something wrong with how this particular one was sitting in its heatsink. I adjusted it and now it boots into LibreELEC just fine.
Now to figure out:
1. How to move LibreELEC to the soldered on EMMC
2. How to get it to successfully connect to the network (complains about invalid key but I know its the right key, its my network and the key works on another LibreELEC install on another device.)
3. How to get HDMI control passthough working (works on the same HDMI cable to the same TV on another LibreELEC device.)
Any hints on this would be appreciated.
Hey all,
Just got my hands on some used Rockpi 4B Pluses and I want to install LibreELEC on them. I downloaded the official image, extracted it and burned it to a microSD. Then put it in the Rockpi and powered it on. Nothing. No HDMI output, no resizing partition, etc. Is there something special about how to set these up?
Thanks!

Alright, I've figured out some things. I didn't notice the original response that included the line asking about which dtb I was using. I went back and found the dtb shared in post #24 and put that in the directory after I flashed the image to the SD Card. Then I renamed it to rk3328-a1.dtb. This replaced the original a1 dtb file. The image boots! And it seems to work. Now I am trying to get wireless working. I copied the two files in post #37 into the directory indicated (I had to make the firmware directory and the subdirectory) and tried booting the device with those included. It did not make the wireless appear.
So, for those wondering about getting the current release working, Here are the instructions I have found so far:
1. Download LibreELEC-RK3328.arm-11.0.3-a1.img.gz
2. Extract LibreELEC-RK3328.arm-11.0.3-a1.img
3. Burn that image to a microSD card.
4. Download rk3328-h96-max-plus.dtb.zip from post #24
5. Extract rk3328-h96-max-plus.dtb
6. Rename rk3328-h96-max-plus.dtb to rk3328-a1.dtb
7. Copy rk3328-a1.dtb into the root of the LibreELEC partition on the microSD card.
8. Place the microSD card in the H96Max+ and boot the device. Wait a while until kodi boots.
As soon as I figure out wifi, I'll add the instructions.
After letting it run for a while, black screen and rebooting, it finally crashed on the same error that happens when the USB it removed:
*** Error in mount_flash: mount_common: Could not mount UUID:1507-0331 ***
### Starting debugging shell for boot step: mount_flash... type exit to quit ###
Well, I did some testing. From what I can see, when the SD card and the USB stick are both inserted, the device boots off the SD card and does the entire resize partitions and such, and then reboots and hangs. If I unplug the USB and reboot, it fails to find the USB drive which leads me to believe that it is trying to install LibreELEC to the USB stick, not to the internal drive, OR the SD card itself. I have tried just booting off the SD card with a new flash and it fails to do anything. It just stays at a black screen, although the TV reports that there is a signal received. It stays that way for a couple minutes and then reboots to the same black screen. If I put the image on the USB and boot the device, it boots into the H96MAX+ Android as if there is nothing there.
Just checked back into the forums to see if there is any update. I to have the H96Max+ and would love to have it running Kodi. I burned the a1 image to a USB and an SD. The USB image boots to the resize partitions, etc. but then reboots to the LibreELEC logo only.
The SD card results in an error.
Many thanks to whomever can supply instructions to getting this running.
Are there any updates to this project? I recently acquired an H96Max+ and I'm trying the instructions. So far so good, but seems to have locked up setting up the Add Source. Will continue to try.
