Any update on the package and full procedure?

[Koxx]

ok, I found my mistake ...
I started with the TX3 dual 20180125 release (which is a 8.90.x release of libreelec).
If I start the libreelec update (to 8.2.3.1) procedure from the older dual boot firmware (TX3 dual 20180109), it works !
I'll give a full procedure and package soon.

It saved my boxes, thanks to all of you !

still some color issues with deinterlacing, but I saw some fixes in the topic. I'll try them.
I'll also try to move to LE 8.2.4.1

yes, it's a completly different mecanism :
https://discourse.coreelec.org/t/lib...mote-files/363

and itdoesn't work like libreelec :
https://discourse.coreelec.org/t/a95...5w-issue/326/1
the remote.conf is not used anymore.
It's weird, in the 20180125, the meson/lirc drivers are not loaded.

$ ir-keytable -t
No devices found

I didn't find any solution for now
If only I could get rid of those dropped frame, it would be ok.

..hmm, as the 20180125 Rom comes with libreelec krypton (17.6) it sure uses the traditional mechanism for remote, so a user remote.conf is used if placed in /storage/.config/ Which remote do you have and which rc_maps.conf did you place in storage after coreelec install? Which problems with dropped frames do you get on coreelec(or do you mean on original dual rom?!)?

I try to remount in R/W but not working yet.

..as the path "/etc/amremote" is inside of the compressed archive, you can't remount it rw. Also it is normal that on a fresh system is no remote.conf present in "/storage/.config/remote.conf", but libreelec should search there for a proper remote.conf you place there. I don't know if there are differences in path for coreelec, but usually the place for custom/userspace remote.conf has to be /storage/.config/ and with the remote.conf from zip the original tanix tx3 mini remote works for me and two friends.. Check if Coreelec uses maybe the new remote-service..

II SSH-Way:
3. boot to libre
4. connect via ssh, remount flash writable and copy via scp all files:

ssh [email protected] #sure use your IP with the password "libreelec"

on Prompt of libreelecbox enter:

mount -o remount,rw /flash #to make flash writable
exit #to exit ssh

now copy the four files:

scp remote.conf [email protected]:/storage/.config/remote.conf
scp SYSTEM [email protected]:/flash/SYSTEM
scp kernel.img [email protected]:/flash/libre/kernel.img
scp dtb.img [email protected]:/flash/libre/dtb.img

5. reboot libre and be happy!

thanks you very much for the upgrade procedure.
I updated the 20180125 with latest coreelec.
It works much better (no more frame drop) except the remote configuration.

Looking at stock 20180125 remote.conf location, I found this :
/etc/amremote/remote.conf
/flash/etc/remote.conf
/tmp/remote.conf

none in /storage/.config/remote.conf.

After coreelec upgrade, the kernel doesn't seems to load this file.

I tried to move it to /etc/amremote/remote.conf
but same result.

Can you explain what to change and which files you need ?
I think i found some docs from you http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-...460#post723460 and will try that later.
Do you still have dual boot after that ?

..in that post all needed files are mentioned and yes sure, it will stay an dualboot rom after that, but with the new libre(android isn't changed)

[mrair]

It works.
Thank you very much.

Hi,
I have a little problem, because my box's IR LED is faulty, (doesn't react to any IR remote command) and I can't bring up the reboot menu. Therefore I can't reboot to LibreELEC. Is there any command that I can run in terminal emulator which reboots my box in LibreELEC? I've tried "reboot update" and "reboot recovery" but both calls recovery.
How can I start my box in LibreELEC without remote controller?
Thanks.

try

su
boot_from_libre.sh
reboot

.. and because nand is so fast compared to pendrives or cards I prefer libre there with the mass of files to load-and the change in a existing dual boot rom is pretty easy and done in under 10 minutes..

Dear folks, I am interested in dual boot image and read there were some issues with bricked devices...

Latest build 201803xxx works? Can I flash it?

[Cretan]

Yes I confirm it works flawlessly!
