If you remove all SD cards and USBs and attach the UART cable (which WeTek shipped with the box) you'll see the box fail to boot .. as there is no longer a bootloader. Now if you write the SD card using my wp2 image it should boot (from the SD card) and you'll see UART output. NB: I didn't test the WP2 for a few weeks (as moved back to RPi4 for a bit) but i'm not aware of anyhing that changed enough to break boot.
I thought I did, but the sound is not working
dd on macOS uses =1m, on Linux it's =1M .. I always forget. Note that /dev/device does not exist, you need to swap that for the /dev/mmcblk? device that corresponds to the emmc. If you're booted from one of my images the output of "emmctool" will tell you what the /dev/device is.
HI
dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=/var/media/USB/backup.img bs=1M is work fine backup size 13.72 giga

HOW DO I KNOW emmc is erased (and vendor u-boot is gone)
LibreELEC-AMLGX.arm-9.80.9-wetek-play2.img.gz
NOT BOOTED
Boot an LE image. Connect a 16GB (or larger) USB stick, formatted EXT4. Run "dd if=/dev/device of=/var/mount/USB/backup.img bs=1m" to clone the contents of emmc to a file on the USB drive. The /dev/device will be something like /dev/mmcblk0 .. whatever the internal emmc is, and where USB is the disk label for the USB drive. You'll have to figure out what these are. Once the backup is complete (it will take time) .. "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/device bs=1m" will erase the emmc. Once emmc is erased (and vendor u-boot is gone) the WP2 will find mainline u-boot on the SD card and use it.
in putty windows line dd if=/dev/device of=/var/mount/USB/backup.img bs=1m
dd: invalid number '1m'
belaid38 The "wetek-play2" image is structured for mainline u-boot so will only boot (mainline u-boot) from SD once you erase vendor u-boot from the internal emmc storage - if it's there the box *always* boots from it and vendor u-boot doesn't understand extlinux.conf. The "box" image should be compatible with devices with vendor u-boot installed on emmc.
Can you explain to me backup uboot and install new uboot sd bin
LibreELEC-AMLGX.arm-9.80.9-wetek-play2.img.gz <= now boots u-boot 2021.01 from SD card .. the only weird thing is I need to configure Kodi audio fixed 44.1KHz output else there is no audio. The image needs vendor u-boot to be erased from emmc first (else it always boots from emmc). If anyone wants to experiment you should back-up emmc first so it can be restored later if you'd prefer.
hi men
i have WP2 . after burn LibreELEC-AMLGX.arm-9.80.9-wetek-play2.img.gz in sd card is not booting libreelec
How to flash uboot.bin ?
What is the method in detail
I tried the image published today: LibreELEC-ARM-ALL.arm-9.80-devel-20200307231201-569f834-amlgx.
To my surprise boot worked, it worked. We have an error in the boot screen and restart.
Is a video 4k and sound working?
Thank you more for this process already known to centuries old friend.
No boot !!
The image is not bootable.
See my comment clearly the LibreELEC night images are working perfectly.
i have wetek play 2 is boot work fine

Image: LibreELEC-ARM-ALL.aarch64-9.80-devel-20200214154744-569f834-amlgx.
I edited the uEnv file, to.
FDT = / dtb / amlogic / meson-gxl-s905d-p230.dtb
Could not boot, or start with android, or go to android recovery screen.
With meson-gxl-s905d-p230.dtb renamed to dtb.img = not boot
Previously there was a dtb for KI Pro in the dtb / amlogic folder, this dtb no longer exists. (It is possible to put it back)
Just an observation.
The nightly images are working well with KI pro, renamed uEnv.
