OpenELEC for s82, M8, MXIII, Tronsmart S89

[caius]

OK, I've tried the updated version. Wifi now works correctly, however NFS does not work for mounting on boot. NFS doesn't seem to be included in the kernel, as it's not listed under /proc/filestytems.

The NFS client built in to kodi does work however so I can use that as a work around for now.

I had forgotten that the wifi chip was different. I'll try that version out and see if it's OK.

I tried this on an S89-H. It updated and boots ok, but wifi doesn't appear to work. You can select it in the config add-on and the "please wait" box appears for a few seconds and it then goes back to being off.

That's the reason why I wrote that it is for the 8 GB version. The main differences between the 8GB and the 16 GB version are bt/wifi and the nand size. But I made a libreElec buiild, which is a fork of openElec, where also bt and wifi (hopefully^^) should work on your box.

Here is the link to the build: http://download.drieschel.de/LibreElec/S82/7.0-devel/

I created an OpenElec 7 Beta (forked from Codesnake) for the S82/ S89 Vega Elite devices with 8 GB. It seems to work fine and stable, execept bluetooth is not working.

Some feedback would be great!

Thanks to Kerber for support!

Nice, but I could test Vega 82, my box will not power up, any idea?

What box do you have exactly? How did you try to update? Try the toothpic method.

1. Download this: http://www.amlinux.ru/image/6.0.0/Op...-S82-6.0.0.zip
2. Unzip the 3 files and copy it at the root of your sd card.
3. Put the sd card into your box.
4. Unplug the power to the box
5. Using a toothpick, insert it into the back of the A/V port until you hear a slight click sound
6. Holding the botton down, you will plug the box back into the power
7. The installation starts

Hi All
I have what appears to be an MX3 however when I load OpenElec 5.0.8 there is no wifi (I have tried turning off wired) and no bluetooth, apart from that all works well
The board in the device is marked MX3-M82-v3.1 and on board appears to be a chip marked AP6234 which I assume is the 6234 WiFi/Bluetooth chip.
Is there any way to load a driver for this chip ?
Thanks in advance

Try this one Silver, mayby iTS gold

Hello, i have a question:

I flashed on my Tronsamrt S89 OpenELEC 6.0.0, works great so far. However, i have the problem that the setting to static IP will not be saved.
I go to the network settings, manual input, give the box the IP adress 192.168.2.210 and save. If i go back and again to settings, it's back to DHCP.
Does anyone know the problem and has a solution?

Thanks


Edit: With the IP adress 192.168.2.190 it works

Hi. Belated Happy New Year to all! Figured I'd give another go at this. Some questions that I've been trying to tackle.

FIRST THE HARDWARE INFO:
I bought this Tronsmart MXIII 2GB Amlogic S802 a few months ago,

http://www.geekbuying.com/item/product-344111/

From hours of reading, I'm confused as to what hardware is supposed to be inside (AP6181/AP6210/AP6330 ???). And I'm not handy enough to take it apart to look.
I know the 2GB's hardware is different from the 1GB one... And apparently some of the newer MX3's have a different Wifi chip than older ones (not sure if it only applies to the 1GB one or both)?? And some MXIII's from Tronsmart are the same as the S82 ones from Beelink? So confusing...


THE QUESTIONS:

1) How do I know which firmware 'model' will work for me? I'm afraid of bricking this. (Is there a way to brickproof this?)

2) I'm currently on 5.08 using this firmware: OpenELEC-Amlogic.S82.arm-5.0.8.
Is it worth risking updating with OpenELEC-Amlogic.arm-S82-5.95.5.2-update? or even OpenELEC-Amlogic.arm-S82-6.0.0-update?

3) Does Bluetooth work for any OpenELEC firmware?

4) What's the difference between OpenELEC and the Finless ROMs?

5) I'm using this great skin called Transparency. For some reason, I can't get Youtube (yes, it's enabled) to show in the menu under Addon even though I selected it under custom?

Could people who had firmware upgrade success mention which brand, model & GB they used? Maybe we can get a wiki going. All the confusion about which MX3/S82 post applies is really aggravating. :-(

Thanks, please help before I go nuts.

Has anyone flashed this box?

If so what version did you use?
Thanks

Hi Guys, I am a little bit of a noob, please tell me which version of openelec should I install on my MXIII 1gb.

http://amlinux.ru/image/6.0.0/

OpenELEC-Amlogic.arm-MX3G-6.0.0.zip???

I installed the one above but get error messages when trying to boot it.


Thankyou

You think you are a n00b? I still can't figure out how to even use this with an SD card...

Hello everybody. This forum is absolutly fantastic. I have a short question. I have a orbsmart s82 box wirh 16gb memory. Right now I have the latest original firmware flashed on the box. Can I flash directly the openelec 6.0? I also have a mele f10 deluxe mouse. Does the mele work under openelec?
Thanks alot for an answer.
