I will make atv rom, but still waiting for 8.1 sdk

[zelder]

Could this be converted to ATV?

I tried installing this ROM using both SD card and the USB burning tool, neither were successful. With SD card, on the upgrading screen it showed an android with a red circle with an X through it. With USB burning tool it said [0x10303004]Romcode/Switch status/Identify/Error result. Full log can be found at this link

Any idea why it didn't work for me? I had a similar fail using the Nougat ROM for Tanix TX7 on this box via SD card method. For now I had to reinstall Magendanz marshmallow nano rom. For reference, my Mini M8S II has the blue motherboard with a sheep on it, not sure if there are other variants of the hardware. Any help would be appreciated.

TIA

Edit: Followed the settings here and it flashed successfully using 10/80 temperature range. But when I unplug from the computer and plug the power back, the board is not powered. I don't see the front LED or the optical port light turn on. The box doesn't respond to my remote or USB keyboard. When I plug in the USB cable to my laptop, the optical light turns on and I have to pin short so USB Burning Tool recognizes the box. Any ideas?

Please help tried downoading the firmware with the enclosed latest usb burning tool and I received this error, any idea how to fix it, please reply.
update; When I used usb burning tool version 2.05.15 instead I do not have this error but cannot get past 7% loading, then discovered that my device is always discoverable (connected) whether I puss the recovery button or not, could that be my problem?
Any help and specially Lewy's will truly be appreciated, thanks

[BrookerA]

This is really impressive, been using for few hours and no problems which is unbelievable.

every now n then get error; droid system has stopped, have to reboot to fix. Usually happens after leaving box off over night then turning on


Random reboots during YouTube videos. Not stable enough for daily driver

Just look online or get it from any nougat rom for your unit. Also there should be repo with dtb on libreelec forum

[xmun]

Than its reading the kernel and dtb properly. Remember that oreo andnugat and marsh mallow all use difreant dtb for difrean kernel. Libreelec use nugat kernel so if you want to boot it you need nugat dtb for your unit. You can also use twrp using twrp renamed to kernel.img and dtb.img just make sure its correct dtb for the kernel.

Where can I find the various dtb files?
