edoapra · Why the new 12.2 LE branch? edoapra August 2, 2025 at 5:59 PM

Is the LE 12.2 database compatible with LE 12.0? In other words, if I upgrade to 12.2, is it possible to downgrade to 12.0 at a later time?

Thanks

Quote from HiassofT

Create a bootloader recovery SD card using the Raspberry Pi imager https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/ - use a spare SD card and choose the desired bootloader (SD/USB/net boot) in the operating systems -> misc utilities section.
Hard to tell what went wrong when you updated, this is the first report of a failed bootloader update that I have seen.

Hias,

Thank you for the suggestion.

The bootloader recovery method did work for me (at the second attempt, tough).

The RPi5 LED flashing pattern seems 3 long 1 short that according to https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/…ing-flash-codes corresponds to 'SPI EEPROM error - Pi 4'

Could this mean that the LibreELEC menu has installed a RPi4 EEPROM on my RPi5?
