No problem, I hope it goes OK. This older link from Sean99 is the best place to start : https://droidboxforums.com/threads/coreelec-9-0-3-kodi-18-3.17504/ CoreELEC is now up to version 9.2.5 and is running on Kodi 18.9 but the method is still the same I mainly use my older droidboxes for...

Hi Dave, Might be worth your while considering this option I also have an old T8 Mini and have switched it over to CoreELEC (similar to LibreELEC). It's now running the the latest Kodi 18.9 version within CoreELEC and is as good as a brand new box. If you search for CoreELEC on this forum...

Hi Paolo, Ok, you don't have a T8 SE then but a T8-S Plus v2. If you go back to first post by Sean99 he says "Copy the gxbb_p200_2gb_1Gbit.dtb for the T8 mini and T8 plus v2." so the device tree is gxbb_p200_2gb_1Gbit.dtb Hope it goes ok from now on.

Good point Sean99. Paolo, Maybe these videos will help. Both show the same method but each has useful details. Use the pause button for each stage You may have a different windows operating system and the current CoreELEC files are more up to date but the basic instructions still apply...

Hi Paolo, sorry to hear it hasn't worked for you. Have you checked that your box model is T8SE - if you go to Settings > About. My box shows T8SE, Version 7.1.2, Kernel version 3.14.29, Build T8SE.Nougat.20181024.V8.2.3 There are no available updates so I assume this should be the same for...

Hi Paolo, just to be clear - Sean99 is the expert, but his tutorial was for the T8 mini box, which has a different chipset from the T8 SE and so the device tree is not the same one. The first box I did was my T8 mini and his device tree was absolutely correct for that box but you will need the...

Hi Paolo, I used the device tree gxl_p212_2g.dtb to install CoreELEC on my T8 SE last week and it works fine. If you want to be certain, you can find the correct device tree direct from your box by downloading the free ‘Terminal Emulator’ app from Google Play Store Open it and type in: cat...

Paolo, not sure what V2 was, but i have done my T8 SE and the device tree, for the T8 SE (S905x and 2G ram), is gxl_p212_2g.dtb I was able to restore, from the T8 SE LibreELEC, using the Indigo Fusion Backup/restore addon in LibrELEC then loading the addon into CoreELEC to restore. So there...

Dave C, thanks for the answer but I think I've sussed out the device tree side. Daveblueboy - With apologies to Sean99, I have repeated stuff specific to the iMXQPro box V2 to put it all in one place. The Beelink box just has an sd card with CORELEC on it, the same as you will end up with...

Hi, followed Sean99's instructions on a T8 Mini and it has given the box a new lease of life - CoreELEC 9.2.1 with Kodi 18.5 is much more stable for IPTV channels. Surprised to see that CoreELEC gives you the option to reboot into android on exit, even though it's on an sd card. Just...

Thanks for the information, I'll give it a go Alan

Hi, got the grandkids coming and hear that they are into Minecraft. I've got a T8 mini, T8 SE and a couple of IMQ v2 plus plus an old Tronsmart mars G01 controller, Rii i8 and H9 mini keyboard. Before I buy Minecraft from the Play store, just checking to make sure that any or all of the boxes...

Hi Chris, just in case anyone has the same issue as me. Ran the BETA update on an IMXPro and all went well but couldn't get this to install at all on my T8 mini - kept getting failed verification errors so aborted and went back to check the OTA updates status and a forced manual update check...

Hi JJM, no problem helping each other. My T8 mini and IMXQPRO are both still on Jarvis for the time being using Pulse CCM builds and below is the live chat I followed to get them to work for me, if you did all that then it's a shame it didn't work for you:- (look like PIA is a good alternative...

hi, just to let the original poster know that I have had expressvpn working thru open vpn mgr in librelec for a long time now. after loading zomboid, then setup vpn mgr with express details under "manual configuration" user and password, (very different from normal user/password) then copy...

Hi, I've seen a few posts on the forum relating to problems with SMB shares where vpn is involved. It may not be relevant to people's specific problems but I thought I would let others know that I have a T8 mini which I run on LibreELEC using the "VPN Manager for OpenVPN". My box now boots...
