Quote from Hauke

While I understand that the patches I quoted are for mainline kernel and thus not directly applicable, they look rather "portable" to me, but of course I've close to no idea about kernel develeopment...

There is little value in advising the devs of the 'portability' of some code and immediately stating that you've no idea if what you're saying is valid. They are more than capable of deciding if mainstream patches can be adapted to these builds and, thankfully, do have (at the very least) some idea about kernel development

Maybe you think about again about not locking this thread, leave it open for talk like now and create another just for collecting faq-like postings from advanced users.

I doubt it would make any difference.

There seems to have been a huge increase in blow-ins requiring hand holding recently, some not even bothering to read previous posts on the same page. Those too lazy to read the f-a-q will continue to post in this thread in the hope of the answer being handed to them on a platter, without any effort on their part.

For me, click "reboot from internal" then click "reboot" -- then it reboots to internal.

Quote from Kick4U

Does anyone have an idea how I can remove 'Reboot from internal' on this release? I'm installed on internal

Quote from koboltzz

Just a little bit of luck is needed.

LOL. So all's well then?

Quote from koboltzz

Usb stick a bad advice since most of amlogic boxes don't even boot from usb.

All the brands I've tried do (SD or USB)

Quote from koboltzz

'Note: only 1 USB port is able to boot the box. You have to try them all. Some boxes are unable to boot from USB drive.'

Both points relate to some boxes (some only boot from the OTG USB port).

@kamacnik1 . . . or make an image of the SD card you have before upgrading anything on it.

LOL

Quote from kmarci

Alternative solution: power off, remove sd card, then power on. The box will boot to android.

I don't know how you're gonna manage to send messages, once your pigeons die

Quote from adamg

Selecting reboot from internal and then reboot appears to work for now.

That'll do for now

8.90.4 seems to have broken the ability to use a skin shortcut to execute rebootfromnand.

The command still works if issued via SSH but not via shortcut / script.

I've tried with aeon.nox and estuary skins, both of which have no problem with this in earlier versions, but nothing happens at all with the latest build. Can anyone else who is dual booting using a rebootfromnand shortcut confirm that they are still able to with 8.90.4.

Quote from Gregoir3

Updated with the proper dtb but still "No device found" message no matter what procedure I follow

If the previous advice hasn't helped, then clean install with correct dtb worked for me

Quote from Poida

Might as well try a clean install too

Clean install did it! Right now to grab the X96 and MiniMX keycodes . . .

Quote from adamg

I knew this change would be troublesome for some users but I want to keep these builds as close to the official LE source as possible and not deviate from it.

And so you should. Still not much comfort to those that don't happen to own the 'favoured devices' chosen to be supported by the official LE (i.e. most of them)

Quote from adamg

You have to follow the instructions to the letter and stop both kodi and eventlircd

copy and paste both commands into putty. Pretty straight forward

Quote from adamg

Try updating your DTB incase it hasn't updated

Yeah already tried that (I'll keep bashing away at it for a while)

Might as well try a clean install too

Quote from adamg

releases will no longer use amremote remote.conf and will use ir-keytable.

Well that should kill a load of remotes off eh LOL

ir-keytable reports no devices found with my MiniMX boxes

same with my X96 boxes

Quote from cwgsm3v0

Anyone have a surefire method that works?

How to change duplicate MAC Address (Just noticed you say you've tried that. Always worked for me in the past )

Quote from SSC_Jarod

Sorry but this decision to forbid it, tastes for me like the politic of Apple, Google or M$ on their devices. And who wants Android as base for Mediacenter really?!

Phew!! Take it easy. You asked a question, I gave you an answer.

At the end of the day, it will be how it will be. The option will be available, or not.

I just told you of one reason why the official builds might not want to support it - since you asked
