I haven't had any issues with the latest build. Im running from internal on a s805, i find connecting my box via ethernet improves speed and less buffering. I only use 1 app mainly and not had problems.
Hello to everyone.
I am new to posting on these forums but read them avidly.
I have tried to update one of my devices from Libreelec v7 to this the latest version and have an issue which I cannot seem to get over.
The box I am using is a MK808B+ which was flawless with the earlier versions. The problem is with a wireless Mouse / Keyboard gadget. The mouse works quite well but I get no input from the keyboard side of it. I have also found that occasionally it will not boot past the Libreelec splash screen. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem ?

I downloaded the 8.0.1.a-HD18q version to try first. Burned it to a 16gb SD card and booted with the toothpick. No problems whatsoever. Since it was OK I did not bother trying the 8.0.1.a-MXQ version.
WIFI connects, was able to calibrate the screen and installed Confluence to make life easier. Installed the few addons that I need and everything is a go. The remote doesn't seem to work, but in my case it doesn't matter since I am using a Logitech K400R keyboard with trackpad, which was recognized by Libreelec on first boot.
Good day - 1st time posting here. I have a MXQ all black box with a S805 and a V3-1 board. Trying update the firmware so to run Kodi 17 but have been told by a few people that installing LibreELEC 8.0 will not work with the V3 board and may brick the box. Any input will be greatly appreciated before attempting this. Thank you in advance.
Since upgrading to 8.0.1a from 8.0g I've been having menu framerate problems @ 1080p, very stuttery navigation, however video playback is perfect. Worked fine since 7.0 when I started using this build, 8.0 was fine. Anyone else getting this? Running @ 720p resolves it

If you upgrade to the same variant - i.e. MXQ, HD18Q or m201d - you shouldn't brick your device. As advised above by Kostaman, you can always try running from an SD card first or if you already do, try a different card for LE 8. I have to admit that nowadays I test S805 builds very briefly as I consider them very mature.

Upgraded recently from 16.1 to 17 and I do find the krypton new UI very nice but seems to lag after some minutes of usage... Is it a case of memory leakage? Or perhaps throttling down because of heating? 720p do seems to fix the stutters or low frame rate.... but seems strange that only after some usage I see the bogging down, because each fresh start is buttery smooth... and i already tried that command: echo 4 > /sys/class/mpgpu/cur_freq to no avail.
Just tried this but still getting same thing. Rebooted box after running command which gave me chance to notice issues same as base_08's, box is fine immediately after restart but started lagging after I browsed into a few shows.
Yep... seems a case of auto throttling down the GPU freq... if i don't move the menus and all it sticks to the bumped frequency but as long as i start doing more complex navigation it reverts to that 255... I hope kszaq can still fix this...
Hi kszaq, a friend off me asked me to compile for his device, I do succeed for my device which is S905, but not for his, please can you tell me what's the right command to compile for HD18Q?
Thanks,
Jefken.
Hi guys. Im still with LibreElec 7.0.3.3c on my 3 years old MXQ (thanks @kszaq). Im wondering what is the benefits for install LibreElec 8. My 7.0.3.3c works fine with iptv provider, but
i cant install PVR IPTV simple client? It says "installation failed". Do i have to upgrade to LibreElec 8 to have PVR IPTV simple client on my MXQ? Is there another PVR addon that handles single m3u IPTV list (with account details on it) i can test?
The device does not have a clock inside, it relies on the time it gets from the internet. With the latest firmware (2016-01-26) there is a very annoying bug: from the Android settings we enabled time from the internet and set the proper timezone, this settings works just once, after a reboot the time is almost always unset.
From various posts on the internet it seems that very similar devices are shipped with different remotes. The two of mine are different and are not interchangeable. Remote factory code and configuration is stored into /system/etc/remote.conf.
No need to root the device on model m201d, because it is already. You can install a terminal application and issue the su command. If you don't want to register into Google to access the Play Store from the MXQ, you can get the .apk file somewhere, put it into the SD card, browse the folders and install it. Another useful app to install is an SSH server, used to open a shell session from a PC into the device or to transfer files via scp. There is also an FTP server, etc.
If the device does not have its su binary installed, you have to boot in TWRP recovery mode and install superuser from a zip file. You need an update .zip archive, not the .apk Android package, this is why the SuperSU app is distributed also as a zip file (see below for download link). Save it into an SD card along with the TWRP recovery, boot from it and install.
The su binary installed by SuperSU is not standalone: when invoked (e.g. from the command line) it will bring-up the graphical interface of SuperSU, which asks to allow superuser privileges to the requesting app. May be there are superuser binaries which does not require this (e.g. the one shipped with model m201d).
Like others Android devices, this one too can boot into Recovery Mode. This is a minimal operating system where it is possible to delete all or some user data and files, perform system updates, etc.
Some Recovery images are very limited, e.g. the stock one installed at factory. This is much like the one I extracted from the OpenELEC 6.0.0.2 archive (which has a build version KOT49H.20151225 test-keys, see web resources for the download link) you can get a copy here: recovery-openelec-6.0.0.2.tgz. It does not permit backup and it has just some basic functions:
In Android world, the backup of NAND flash memory partitions is called a NANDroid backup; it contains everything, from operating system to user data. Beware that backup images created with one tool (e.g. TWRP) are generally not compatible with another tool (e.g. CWM Recovery).
: Some of the backup files created by TWRP are not readable from the internal storage where TWRP crated them, they give permission denied even if accessed as root. Is this a bug? Is there something I miss? The unreadable files are data.ext4.win and system.ext4.win.
Flashing a different firmware can be useful to upgrade or downgrade the stock software, or to flash a totally different image, e.g. OpenELEC or LibreELEC (we need a version specifically built for our hardware/model).
Some posts tell to flash a new firmware using a Windows PC and the AMLogic USB Burning Tool, while the MXQ device is connected via an OTG USB cable. We don't have a Windows PC and our MXQ box does not have the OTG USB socket, so we definitely go with the alternative SD card method.
The update zip file is actualy a JAR archive, it can be extracted using jar xvf file.zip. Into the root directory of this archive there is the /system directory and there are also the images to flash into the relative partitions. This is an example:
From you can find several images to flash to the device, you have to experiment which one is the best fit for you. Putting the wrong image onto the SD card, results in boot freeze at MXQ logo, just remove the SD card and reboot to recover.
Once you prepared the SD card, insert it into the unpowered MXQ and use the toothpick method: insert a toothpick into the A/V socket untill you feel the click of a microswitch, then power-on the MXQ while keeping the microswitch pressed. This procedure seems required only once: the following times the MXQ will boot directly from the SD card just because it is inserted.
You will need an USB keyboard to configure the Kodi program (the remote control should work, but it is not very friendly selecting IP addresses, etc.). At least you should configure the network and enable the SSH server. 152ee80cbc
