Most likely not
That box is probably not even sold anymore and abandoned long ago by the manufacturer.

Your best option is:

https://forum.libreelec.tv/thread-2877.html

libreelec 7 is kodi 16.1 / libreelec 8 is Kodi 17.1 RC

I did the same on my s802-h Vega

Cheers

Thanks. Can you please link me a guide how to install Version 8 on the S82 to boot from SD? I can only find that one fir S905. Thank you.

hi,
there are two ways...

preferred way...
Download firmware
use

https://libreelec.tv/downloads/

And create a bootable sdcard... then use reset button to boot Le from SD
If everything works like you wish... you can use shh to give command installtointernal (this will write to nand)
----
The second way..
Download the flashable zip.. unpack to SD ( you get another zip, if I remember correctly)
In android launcher use Update app... to install the zip file (this will format/overwrite android! )
----
Alternative options...
*Use Petrus Reboot app to boot into recovery...and install zip
*You might be able to use Reboot...to boot into Le sdcard...also

Please note... way1 was not available when I first installed Le , I used the Zip methode (unsafe method)
Goodluck

Thanks a lot Mitchell.

I took LibreELEC-S802.S82.arm-8.0.0-2-alpha-devel.img.gz

from http://download.drieschel.de/LibreElec/S82/

to Rufus and pressed Start.

SD shows:
kernel
kernel.img.md5
system
system.md5

Boot starts and says:

cp: can´t stat ´/flash/system´: No such file or directory

***Error in prepare_sysroot: mount_common: Could not mount /dev/System ***

### Starting debugging shell... type exit to quit ###

sh: can´t access tty: job control turned off

Do i have to search a device tree file first?

Found this:
"Download a device tree as instructed above and rename it to dtb.img. Copy the renamed file to main folder of SD card/USB drive - replace the one that's already there."

Where can i get this for the S82?

Or is it another mistake?

Thank you!

Edit:
I tried several of demetris and drieschels images. "Filsystem corruption detected". "Read-only filesystem".
My box is Mbox S83B V2.2 S802B/A P6330/ 2/16GB Mali 450.
Which image do i have to choose for Kodi17?
I use to format SD before writing image. Still stuck with errors.
Used Libreelec USB-SD Creator
Rufus 2.12
2 GB Micro SD Kingston

Thank you.
