I have downloaded "OpenELEC-CodeSnake-Meson8-K200-devel-320a148.zip" butt everytime i try to install it on my M8 i get the error "Footer is wrong" "Signature verification failed"
I have tried both SD-card as USB stick, please see the screenshots.

Thanks in advance:-)

You need to unpack the archive onto SD-card, insert it into the box, and enter recovery using toothpick. The installation should start automatically.

Can someone tell me why it won't install and how I can get too???

It is hard to say why you have the problem.

I'm suppose to have openelec compress right??? Root to sd card. I've even tried wiping the cache delete reset factory before installing it.

On MX2 you don't need to decompress anything. Just save the provided ZIP to SD-card and use Install from EXT in recovery.

No, flashing other ROM will not help. This is clearly some problem with your HDMI connection, both EDID and CEC are HDMI-related.

what do you think could help this issue?
i also got null edid

Ok ok what file am I looking for after ext then from sd???

I don't know for sure. Maybe bad HDMI cable, or some incompatibility between HDMI driver and the TV.

Of course the ZIP file you just put onto the SD-card!

Codesnake, excelent job you dit with this OpenElec on the M8, It never had run this fast before on Android!

I almost sold my M8 because it was so unstable, thanks with a big exclamation mark!

If you followed the bootloop steps exactly (i mean to the letter) it should work 100%. I have used thevmethod on numerous boxes with similar issues.
If it still doesnt work for you, i dont know what could be the problem in your case.

But im not getting stuck at the matricom logo. I run the recovery then I run 1.1.6 which installed fine. It's installing openelec I have a problem with. Codesnake said look for ZIP file. When Downlaod the 4.2.1 file it decompress itself when it finish downlaoding. The whole the time I went into the folder an compress the four files that was in the folder. When Trynna to install from ext it would say archive .zip and it wouldn't work. But then I figured I was suppose compress the folder without going in it. It rename it as what I downloaded as but it still wouldn't install. When Trynna install from ext It say recognizing file look like it's gonna install robot is up the it will abort install. Idk wish there is a vid on this to see what I'm doing wrong. I'm not tech savvy at all but I do appreciate u guys Trynna help me.

By reading your reply i can conclude that you did not follow the steps correctly. I am afraid i cannot help you any further.
