I request anyone arrange me the file atleast I can try to get back my machine I can repack the backup with these files

Please I request anyone if can be arranged DTB atleast I can try

Another user seems to have this file also

I hope someone still have that

balbes150 I believe that myself and others who have the same device as I do may have been operating under a slightly false assumption, in that it seems that these OTT M8S clones (down to even the sticker) with both the AP and BCM wireless are actually 1G/8G when they are sold and advertised as 2G/8G, unless there's just not a working firmware out there for them.

Even back in the day early Openelec builds never worked with 2G ram enabled...

Anyway, here are the 1G/8G dts and dtb files for both the AP and BCM versions (m8m2_bcm4335_n200C_1G and m8m2_n200C_1G):
MEGA

If I wanted to test using either of these dtb/dts files, would I need to actually build LibreElec? I have a server rack in the basement, but my Android/Openelec/Rockbox ARM build VM is probably out of date. And I haven't yet built any of the OpenElec based software before.

i need the DTB/DTS FILES FOR N200_1G if you can upload it again?

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):

Please try the n200 image with this kernel:

https://libreelec.dtech.hu/_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.

is there any Amlogic_burning_tool *.IMG tested on any box (s812)which exactly match with m8m2_n200_1g ?Available somewhere what my idea is just to restore the partitions... no matter what the result is

Is there a solution which can restore the partition table like this?the pic below a screenshot before brick

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

I do have a Adb Backup of my machine

Boot

Recovery

Misc

System

Cache

Date

Mtdblock01— which is u-boot actually

Mtdblock0—-which is Env config actualky

I have one more information when I give command on adb root shell

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

#m8m2_n200_1g <———-result is this

Quote from dtech

Would the goal be to restore the original environment or to install LibreELEC?

I have an idea for the second, but the first needs to be investigated.

Just bring it back to life either LibreElec or original no problem at all

Because I am tired trying roms after roms

solution of my problem must be in this thread i guess

READING.. meanwhile here is the problem

this is my first post i have seen the MODERATOR dtech being so kind with everyone and solved many problems so i want to take my chance

my problem is i have Pandora 3D game box which is Amlogic CPU: S812 and MICRON NAND (29F16G09CBA) CHIP i was playing with its partitions to enable some tweak and bricked it..now i am in a situation where i have ADB backup of all partitions but lost all partitions (image1) (sda&sda1 is the usb pendrive attached in a machine)and i dont have the factory…

Now I see you are trying to update with an S805 (m8b) image, even though you have an S905 (gxbb) device. This is not going to be good.

If you update your S905 with the HD18Q image, it is guaranteed to never boot again after you restart your device.

And chewitt is also right, because in Leia versions (9.0/9.2) for Amlogic S905x the kernel is 64-bit, but Kodi is only 32-bit.

I think you need to look for another sd card and create a clean install with this image: LibreELEC-MXQ-4K-Pro_2G.arm-9.2.8.3.img.gz.

This is the correct dtb for your device: gxbb_p200_1G_mxq_pro_4k.dtb, it should be renamed to dtb.img and overwrite the original.

please suggest me something

i can access recovery(image2) when i burn card with my uboot.bin just recovery with root access but partitions are gone
