Thank you trebor. That solved it. I was able to get into it.

I flashed finless 1.7 , set display to 720. Booted to recovery. Installed openelec and wala.

How can I do a wifi speedtest on this thing? I have never seen or used openelec so pardon me in advance.

Is Finless's 1.7 rom still on the site or just the 1.8?

Thanks

No idea, like your self, do a test with some addons ether then wifi will give you an idea.
no doubt someone may enlighten us or google may be your friend

Also this place below you will find the action.

If we can get ssh working then we can do a speedtest.

Sure, can the shadow file be replaced, I have been advised it can be rebuilt

This is new to me,

Wifi

I've tried enabling wifi. I can find my bssid and can put in the password but doesn't play ball.

anyone know if I'm doing something wrong??

Mine is booting fine. Not tried the TWRP method on my other box yet.
We would need to decompress the file system (SYSTEM) copy the shadow fike and then re-squashfs it back up again. This would be needed to be done in a linux distro but I have successfully done this on a raspberry pi running openelec.

I'm running wired. Never tried the wireless. I'll give it a go when I get home from work unless someone else uses wifi replies first.

Was the display already set to 720? I installed Finless 1.7 rom and it was already set to 720p.

I'm still stuck on this OpenELEC splash screen. I've flashed a lot of boxes and have never had this happen to me before.

I did exactly as Zahir did post #37 that worked for me, think you have done the same

1. Remove SD card (with the rom files on it) Note, these are the files INSIDE JM's download.
2. Use toothpick to get into stock recovery.
3. Insert SD card with all JM's files on it.
4. From recovery menu, perform factory reset.
5. From recovery menu, wipe cache (yes, again)
6. Select Install update from Ext, navigate to rom zip and install
7. When installation is done, do another factory reset from recovery.

Try Stanes Rom for android just to boot etc, then try above again

Maybe the twrp method also as mention ?

Failing that I will give you a dollar for you box

Zahir said he installed a earlier OpenELEC build from JM. That rom only had 2 files on it, not like this rom which has 5.

And are you just putting the zip file on the sdcard and choosing that zip file when you go to ext then sdcard. Or are you putting other files on it?

Ill try again tomorrow, it's 6am here have to hit the sac. Just got down work a couple hours ago.

Thanks for the help, appreciate it.

Just the .zip and the .img and choosing the .zip
and the full wipe.
