When I purchased my T8s I specifically asked if there would be any new boxes available in the near future as I wasn't in a rush to get one and was told no the T8s will be the latest box for a long time to come. Yet literally just a few weeks after getting the 8Gb T8s, the 16Gb version was...

I did exactly that, even doing what Chris requested above and the last reply I got via email on the 2nd of April from Andrew stated that my email would be forwarded to Chris and he would get back to me on Monday. Unfortunately I haven't heard anything since.

Since the last post I've had the unmount and mount issues occur a few times and physically removing the drive and then plugging it back in again has worked. This time however, with the new update installed, it has happened again and even removing the drive hasn't worked.

Mine has started playing up again, tried pulling the drive out and it didn't work. After booting in to android which I don't normally use in hope, the the OTA updater was showing an update so I updated and after rebooting the hdd was showing again in android. Then I booted into openelec and the...

T8S with 8GB internal storage.

Don't forget to format the hdd in openelec too first before you do anything else. The option is within the openelec settings.

Also, as far as I am aware, it is not possible to use the hdd to install apps on and this is something droidbox are working on for the lollipop update.

That second image of openelec confirms that your hard drive is NOT mounted. You need to unplug it and then plug it in again. It will show up as a HDD.

Not used filezilla for a while but surely you just right click on the directories and change file attributes? If you want a recursive change then you can also do chmod -R 777 your_directory_name in putty rather than doing chmod777 and then having to go back and doing it again every time you add...

It is not an overheating problem as the few times mine has done it, it has happened within a minute of turning the box on. I also have my box disconnected from the power socket when not in use and it doesn't help in fixing the problem either.

Mine has been doing this recently too, the only solution I have found that works is to unplug the hard drive physically and then plug it in again. Sounds strange but it's happened to me twice now and this is the only thing that worked.

The answer is in the above posts by malkie, it is all to do with folder permissions and I'm not sure why 8bitDev didn't mention it. It can be a little daunting for someone who is not used to using Putty but with a little bit of reading it really is quite simple.

Thanks for trying to help, unfortunately mine is stuck on the Openelec logo so can't access anything. The clock is working fine strangely so don't know why the normal kodi screen isn't showing up.

Loaded up my box today only to find it is stuck in the Openelec logo, any ideas?

My post was written back in September, since then I have had very few issues with the hdd.

I used the fresh start option under programs but that basically wipes all your addons and data. An easier way is to change to the confluence skin or even simpler is to go to the openelec settings and just select reboot to android which can be found just after the format hdd option.

Sorry I forgot to update the thread but last week I switched back to openelec to see if it would work and surprisingly it did and has continued to do so without issues. I didn't change anything or do anything other than use kodi on android for a while so beats me what happened.

Geemeister, the option is now in the openelec settings menu, just after the format hard drive option, same place you go to set up your wifi connection etc.

Has anyone else now got the reboot to android option under the openelec settings? Mine seems to have appeared after the last update, I know for sure it wasn't there before.

With the update, my openelec has become unusable as it seems to be not connecting to anything and just times out, the clock updates but everything else seems to struggle. I have no problems in Android and space is currently at 2.5 GB free.
