I was able to flash out of the Android firmware that prevented my toothpick method, recovery, and booting from sd. What I did was use the UPDATE&BACKUP app that most these boxes come with, zipped up an aml_upgrade_package with 4 other files and boom. I had an issue like this with my 905x box. recovery method (3rd variant): if your box is rooted, use terminal emulator app and execute.recovery method (2nd variant): if you have "Update" app pre-installed open it, insert SD card with LE/connect USB drive, and choose any ZIP file in the app for update.recovery method: boot into Android, insert card/thumb drive and choose Reboot to recovery.Wait until LibreELEC logo appears and release the button.
menu button method (works with very few devices): disconnect the power supply, insert card/drive, push menu button on your remote control and connect the power while holding the button.toothpick method: disconnect the power supply, insert card/drive, push reset button and connect the power while holding the button.To boot the system for the first time you have to use one of the following:.
I can get into recovery but would like to to if I can boot to the SD Card from there or do I have to install to NAND if I update from EXT? It's like the reset button is broken and not doing anything.
With these files on the sd card LE normally boots, but on this box it boots to Android every time. I use win32diskimager to write the files to SD Card.
