I would love to do that but I can't use the installtointernal command on SSH as it says I don't have permission even through by default I have root permissions. How do I fix this?
I would really like to dual boot Lakka and Libreelec, but I'm having a serious issue in that the installtointernal command just doesn't work. I'm running a Minix X8 on the S82 image. Can someone help please.
No it wont, Lakka transform your device into a dedicated gaming platform but you can dual boot like me, i have lakka on nand and i boot libreelec from sdcard and i have both worlds.

Thanks, will Lakka still let me use Kodi?
Thats S82 image
Thanks Demetris.
What I mean is that I'm currently running the S82 image and want to know how to get Retroarch to run, because I've tried installing it from a number of source/repos and I can't get it to launch. So is anyone aware of a S82 version of Retroarch that works.
Thanks,
Ryan
I'm trying to run Retroarch on my Minix X8, does anyone know what version or repo I can use to get a working version for S802?
I installed Libreelec-S802.arm-8.0.1a-S82.img.gz via sdcard on a minix x8-h device, now I want to install it on the NAND but when I execute the command I get the errorCodeLibreELEC: ~ # installtointernal -sh: installtointernal: Permission deniedAny ideas?
Thanks in advance
I got this too! Been asking for a fix for a while.
I don't think you're alone.
I have no problem running @kszac's img.tg builds on s905's, but I've never been able to get Demetris img.gz builds to run on s802 hardware (tested only on round S82 boxes aka Orbsmart).
In fact, I can get OpenELEC running on the S82 boxes I have, but any time I install Demetris S82 builds for the same hardware, it just boot loops.
Speaking of which, it may be easier for you to start / try the "kerber" builds of OpenELEC and get everything working, before you try these LibreELEC builds. I know that might sound like a waste of time, but for some reason, those builds always work without a problem for me, and it will help you get a feel for what should be happening, and if it's actually something you're doing wrong ...or... truly a problem with compatibility.
This is the link to those builds for testing:
MEGADepending on your box, you won't necessarily have an option for a 7.0.2 OpenELEC build, you may have to go back to 6.0.0, which is fine, because this is for diagnostic and learning purposes both, you can always upgrade once you get this one working.
Also, I thought you were going to try unzipping Demetris latest build and flashing through recovery ("Flash from EXT" > choose drive > choose .ZIP) - have you had any success with that?
Moving on .. This post raises a question for Demetris:
First, thank you for all you do. Your work is awesome, and the time you dedicate to others is amazing.
Do you have any idea why there might be problems in your LibreELEC builds on certain hardware, which runs great with the old CodeSnake/Kerber builds? For example, I have S82 boxes and I can install Kerber's builds without any problem.
When I download any of your LibreELEC 8-RC releases, I get boot-loops (reflashing, rebooting, reflashing) if I attempt to apply the terminal "reboot update" method (or directly via recovery).
I'll go back to those S82 boxes that won't run with your release, and install the S82 OpenELEC builds without problem.
Could there be a problem or compatibility issue with your Round S82 builds specifically?
Thank you in advance!
EDIT: Someone mentioned the old "alpha" release in 2016 worked when all of the newer releases did not. I've tried this and indeed the Alpha installs on the S82 boxes. The RC4 bootloops to re-attempt flashing, on the same S82 boxes. What could be causing the problem in RC4?
Tried to apply update zip from SD card using EXT option, that's the screenshot I attached. So I'm out of options, not that it's an issue as Libreelec runs fine on an SD card, it would just be nice to boot from internal.
I've also tried SSH' in and entering in installtointernal, but get a permission denied message.
LASTLY, Demetris, thank you for your work on this!!!
I don't have an s802 box around to test, I only used this image to install one for a friend; however...
I was under the impression that this release was always flashed directly to the device (NAND is just the type of memory that serves as the storage, like a hard drive, on these boxes - in other words, if it's installed on the box, it's on your eMMC / MMC aka NAND storage).
If this release isn't already installed automatically in that matter, all you do is boot to recovery and flash the .zip file by choosing to "Flash ZIP File" from the recovery menu, then choosing "uboot" if it's from a USB stick, or "sboot" if it's from a MicroSD card. Once you do this, it will be written to your device, overwriting the original SYSTEM partition / removing Android an replacing it with this native Kodi/LibreElec build.
Does that make sense?
I've tried the above and get the errors in the attached screenshot. The only way I have been able to run Libreelec is by using the USB/SD Creator tool and the gz compressed image file to boot from SD card. Any ideas?
In terms of the resume function, I just changed my HDMI-CEC setting on my TV to not power down the device when the TV was turned off.
Thanks so much. I think I might have been trying to zip file which contains a factory_update_param.aml and an update.zip file, will extract them to root and see what it does when I reboot into recovery.
Will also give the mapping a go and report back.
Thanks for the help mate!
Thanks, it does make sense. Whenever I've booted into recovery and tried to flash the zipped image file I get an error stating that the file isn't signed or has the incorrect header. Can't remember the exact error. So I'm not sure what to do next?
Also in terms of my other question, do I use Keymap Editor in map HDMI-ARC?
Thanks rkmfl, what's the best way to map the my remote to do this? Can I use Keymap Editor in Kodi/Libreelec?
Also how do I install Libreelec to my internal storage/NAND?
I'm experiencing an issue when I turn on my TV and my X8 won't wake/resume and I need to physically push the power button for it to wake. Any ideas on how to resolve?Also what image should I be using with the USB-SD Creator to install Libreelec to internal storage? As I've tried installing to SD card then SSH'ing and entering installtointernal, but get a permission denied notification.
Hi guys, can anyone give me some guidance on my questions above. Thanks!

Thanks, will try that tonight. What would be the difference between having the unextracted files and the zip on the root anyway?
I did login as root when I SSH'ed in.
I have done what you suggested and placing the files on the root of the SD card installs it to the SD card, not the internal storage.
How do I install this to internal storage? I've SSH'ed in and tried the installtointernal command and got a permission denied notification.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks Demetris!
Will definitely give this a try!
Would be awesome if Lakka and this could be merged, would make the ultimate retro gaming and media streaming box!
Keep up the good work.
I have just discovered LibreELEC after there seems to be no further support by Minix for the X8 that I'm running.
How would I go about flashing this to my X8, with the Amlogic Flashing Tool? Also what firmware should I use, T8?
Great work and it would be great to see Lakka merged with this, it would make it the ultimate retro gaming and media streaming distro!
