Confirm. No settings or addons lost. I don't know exactly what that file is for. But Kodi worked fine after I deleted it.

All,

I've created a log at the frozen boot screen. Please find here: aPZa
It says something about a missing SQL database?

EDIT:
OK. I solved it for me.
- Installed 7.0.3 and restored the backup created in 7.0.3
- Updated manually by putting the 8.0.0 file in the .update folder
- Rebooted and got stuck at the Kodi logo as before
- Fired up SSH and deleted .kodi/userdata/Database/Addons27.db and rebooted by reboot command
- Got stuck again at “Add-on migration in progress – please wait”. Waited for 5 minutes and then rebooted again by reboot command
- Got an error message that one Add-On is incompatible. Uninstalled that.

Now everything works fine. I hope that this may help others.

Quote from apc

Just did the upgrade from 7.0.3 to 8 on my RPi 2. The upgrade appeared to proceed fine, it rebooted and then froze on the LibreElec boot screen - Libreelec 8.0 official in top left of screen. Tried another twice and also tried beta 3 - same situation. I used the correct update file.

I re-wrote the SD card with 7.0.3 and restored so back to where I was.

Any suggestions - I would like to update to 8.0?

I have exactly the same issue when updating from 7.0.3 to 8 on my RasPi 3.

I tried 2 things, both end with the same result:

• Update manually by putting the update file in the .update folder. The upgrade proceeds fine and then it freezes on the LibreElec boot screen after reboot.
• Installed the new 8.0.0 image on the SD card, booted and finished the LibreElec setup wizard (which works fine), then restored the back-up from 7.0.3 using the wizard. After reboot it freezes again on LibreElec boot screen.

I hope someone has a solution.
