Yes, my problem was that I tried to run the update from a udisk, rather than the sdcard. Still some issues pairing my Bluetooth mouse and using alternative launchers, though, and these have worked fine on the Mini M8S.

I have same problem and had this before update too. Language changing to Japanese on every reboot. Any solution to fix this?

Hi,

I had an similar issue and traced it to a CEC setting, there is an option to set the language of the box to that of the display, I forget the exact name but it was in the CEC options, once I disabled that I had no more random language changes...

Hope it helps..

Edit, found it, attached.

I have the problem that my TV-Screen sometimes becomes purple

It is in extra or android settings, how you find it will depend on your launcher.

what rom do you have? i have not this menu in my ROM.

[itsmeedoofer]

Maybe it's not included in this rom, I have it on my lollipop MXIII box...;.

What I did:
I only followed the toothpick method in the firdt link as the script got the remote.conf from the android system.
I have libreelec on a spare sdcard I prepared with rufus on windows
I did a full backup from the android system in twrp recovery mode
I did not need any kind of specific wire
Libreelec boots from the external sdcard, so the android system is safe
Libreelec further updates are as easy as puting the new images in the update folder: really an easy task

First link with the global procedure:

I can't !

I would like to test LibreElec so I followed these instructions.....but when I try to enter recovery mode with toothpick methos and my sd inserted, nothing happen ! I say on the Google TV screen.
I tried to enter recovery mode without sd inserted, after about 20s I have the recovery mode menu

How do you do ?
thx

Are you sure rufus extracted the image to the sdcard ?
I remember the buton to choose the image in rufus wasn't easy to see/understand at all.

[yagrasdemonde]

I made SD with Win32 Disk Imag because Rufus don't see this

[Tidav7578]

If you followed the (fairly easy) procedure and you've got files on the sdcard, I'm affraid I can't help you any further
