LibreELEC hangs on load screen

[Albert Attard]

Hi,

My droidbox T8-S starts on the LibreELEC and hangs on boot, keeps showing the load screen. We do not use LibreELEC and would like ot force it to load into Android. Can I press some hot keys to bypass this? I do not want to reset it.

Thanks in advance

will it load into LibreELEC? or is it just locking up at boot up? go into recovery mod hit boot into android.

Thanks for your reply. No it does not load. It just shows the loading screen, and the device reads boot instead of the time. Do you know how to force it to load to Android instead?

try this

if it dont work you might have to do a full factory reset

So the only option is to reset it?

try the reboot system first if that dont work try clear catch partition and reboot it#

How do you clear the cache?

 

[sblabs]

in recovery menu, "clear catch partitions" i think its called, dont do the factory reset yet. then click on the reboot system.

But my device is not booting, thus I cannot access the menu. I need to try to boot to Android by pressing something while the device is booting

It worked. Thank you.

I've pressed the rest button and then selected to boot to Android. For those having a similar problem, the rest button does not reset everything, but instead boots to a menu from where you can select what you want and one of the options is to boot to Android.

Thanks again for your prompt reply.

 

[sblabs]

you are welcome

I've read that this form is great and today I can confirm it.

So for those who are thinking of buying an Android box, I recommend this one
