Perhaps the reason is that platforms S905 and S905X different numbers of partitions, which are assigned to the internal and external MMC cards. If you connect the SD card. s905 - get mmcblk1 is external, internal mmcblk0. s905X - on the contrary , external get mmcblk0 and mmcblk1 is internal.

(This step is not needed when you have Android on internal memory) Download Android firmware for your box - you should get it from manufacturer or seller - and extract 2 files: recovery.img and dtb.img to your SD card.If you change the name of the dtb file for recovery, such as "recovery.dtb" and change the variables in the load script Recovery. Can have both dtb files on an external drive. From LE immediately restart in Recovery mode.

For operation modes, a reboot is necessary to remove from the media (after activation of the multi-download) the file aml_autoscript. When the system reboots and tries to re-use aml_autoscript

Try to check with this user. He wrote that when you run external drives not working, but when installed on internal memory (eMMC) in his work. Set-top boxes You have with him are not the same, but he used m8s+ and it worked. Note that there is a risk to brick and will have to restore it via cable.

These data can be obtained via a special hardware connection (this is an optional USB adapter, which you need to solder wires to the PCB Board). This adapter allows you to show all events from the start (u-boot), TV set-top box and on.
-
So these options are not suitable for Your equipment. Something to understand at what stage the problem, we need logs output to the console UART.

How to enable universal multiboot we discussed in this thread ....
message #11 #13 etc -
For testing need universal multiboot TV box. I asked about the availability on Your TV box universal multi-boot. By the way, added to the website version of the image with the dtb data from the firmware, the link to which is given edit4ever. Maybe she could work on M8S Plus.
-
Universal multiboot remained or is now used the former option boot from SD card ?
-
I think 2 or 3 firmwares for the same box in one pack.
But if you succeed to download from mega link, that'll do!You tried to run the option for MIII_G (the link from the message 17) ?
-
Thanks, I downloaded this image. Whenever possible, I'll try to put together a new version based on these data dtb.

Welcome back, edit4ever!
Balbes150, if you have problems with mega.nz you could also find android firmwares here: m8s .rar
5.1 works fine.Thanks for your effort!
The archive is 1.7 GB , this is such firmware ???? Or is there a archive of the many other options ?

You gave a link to the image LE. That's not what I need. I need dts\dtd\dtb file for Your TV set-top box (to get the data from them to build an image LE). The files can get from the image / files with Android firmware for Your TV box. So I asked do You have a link to this firmware (from Your TV set-top box). For example, on the website of the manufacturer of Your TV box.
Now I have collected test image LE (for external media) on the basis of shared DTS file meson8m2_n200C_2G. Maybe this way will be able to start on Your equipment. At least with partial hardware support.
-
If You have not launched a version for external drives, I don't recommend trying the installation of this version in the internal memory. Most likely, it will lead to brick. If You give a link to the firmware from Your device, I can try building a version with the desired data dtb.

The "Reset" button for a long time do not need to keep. Clicked the button. Turn on the power. Appeared the logo. Release the button. If you hold the button, will not occur in the system boot LE. LE can only be start when you released the button.
[hr]
Please note, the activation of multi-boot (boot from SD card when pressing the RESET button) is executed only once. All subsequent start to be performed WITHOUT pressing the button. -
SD card:
- Download img.xz file and create SD card: Installation - LibreELEC
- As a result, you should have system files: aml_autoscript, kernel.img, SYSTEM (etc) files on your SD card.
- To boot the system for the first time you have to use one of the following:
- toothpick method: disconnect the power supply, insert SD card, use a toothpick to push reset button and connect the power while holding the button. Wait until LibreELEC logo appears and release the button.
- You have to do step 3 only once. You should repeat step 3 if booting from SD fails after Android reconfiguration/update. Don't worry, it won't delete your data.
-
Added the files to install to the internal memory (eMMC). The installation is performed via the standard update mode from Android.
-
1. Download
2. Unpack
3. Record to SD card
4. Insert into TV box
5. Turn on the console while holding the button (toothpick method)After a single activation universal multi-boot, you can use the LE from the SD card , or to write the image to a USB flash drive and use LE with USB. If you want to use other images with OE LE (which uses the old multi-boot), you must additionally copy on the SD card file s805_autoscript , which can be downloaded at this link.
Notice that my images collected for meson8m2_n200_2G.
If necessary, can be assembled with another option dtb. -
This version of the image for use with external media (SD card and USB flash drive). You can try without limitations on any device. TV box it will not hurt.
