Issue 1:
After flashing fw, first boot/switch to Android saw the launcher not come up, an iceberg/cloud like blurred wallpaper in the background.

Solution at the time:
Reboot

Happened again?
Not yet

Repeatable?
n/a

If occurs again, factory reset would be next step.

Faild to mount / udisk (I/0 error)
I don't how to set up the box to read the usb but I use it normally with android! !

@Wahed v
Sounds like a firmware flash procedure issue, don't worry about the can't load volume /misc report, happens with them all, including successful procedures in the Recovery menu, see screenshots in other thread.

Failing to mount the udisk, does it do the same (failing to mount) with an SD memory card?

What type are the two USB devices' partitions?

If you can get your hands on a USB to USB cable (same plug both ends, like https://www.amazon.co.uk/USB-Male-2m-Cable-Black/dp/B0018I97M0 ) you could try flashing via ADB, but a memory card would likely be easier to locate locally and use. I've not done flashing via ADB on these devices, not since an old Kindle Fire in fact.

Did you follow advice re trying with no files and freshly formatting the USB devices?

@sean99 bug reports in here... @StringyMCFC , see this is what happens when you try and make something nice

Seriously though Sean, re OpenELEC vs LibreELEC I'm aware of no official policy on this. I suspect if/when they both have Kodi 16.x + it'll be a case of whatever works best (stable/behaving), but that is a personal assumption.

Did you format your usb to fat32 before tranferring the 111mb L.E zip?

 

[Wahed v]

No sorry I format it but did check about fat32 !! try now again sorry

 

[sean99]

Cheers ss have deleted last post.

 

[Wahed v]

I will try to format usb to fat32 or use SD and see what will happen?

 

[ChrisM]

No need to apologize @Wahed v . This thread (if too many bugs are found) will be heavily trimmed, so if is just issue with procedure then it'll be wiped away anyway

@sean99 np at all, I've added the info into first post over in announcement post anyway, all helps improve the thread there.

Just to check, you're comfortable with installing a beta firmware? SD memory card is the best bet for me normally, as I tend to store less on them, so takes less time to back up files before fresh formatting. Just happened to use a USB this time as wanted to check what would happen if I didn't use a freshly formatted device.

If you get a problem with one installation method, flip to the other and hope!

If you prefer, this will hopefully go official and then be available via an application, rather than require a manual flash.

 

[Wahed v]

@SilentlyScreaming I don't think I can wait for it officially even if it will be tomorrow... I don't mind to try beta and learn anyway from issues

OK so early indications are VERY positive. After a couple of SD Card formatting issues (running a mac) I managed to install first time. Rebooted system and it booted to Android. Clicked the Droidbox Switch and it booted straight to LibreElec (see below).

Everything is working like a dream, except the clock on the front of the box itself. It now has gibberish instead of the time. Have rebooted to see if that does anything but alas, no, still the same display (see below). Will keep playing and let you know of any further issues.

 

[Wahed v]

Finally after trying few times with USB but only works with SD even without formatting... everything work perfect just the clock in the box as well .
Thanks for this update

Hi, I had the the same problem with the clock, this fixed it for me, open LibreElec go to System > Appearance > International > now down to Time Format and change it to ( HH:mm:ss ) hopefully it will work for you.

 

[Wahed v]

Just switched to android but have this issue with this screen and can't remove it . It's start with DBX luncher in the top and then this pic !!? But openelec is working ok like

 

[ChrisM]

@StringyMCFC Regarding the clock, thanks for the report (and @angela for the fix!), not had it happen on mine, I'll make sure this gets passed on.
@Wahed v If a simple reboot didn't fix that (interesting that it is a different wallpaper, had you changed it previously?), then time for a factory reset - https://droidbox.co.uk/how-to/accessing-your-droidboxs-recovery-menu/

 

[Wahed v]

I never saw this wallpaper before as well but what about starting with DBXT luncher in the top of screen and than this picture show .. i really don't want to do factory reset again

Hi, I had the the same problem with the clock, this fixed it for me, open LibreElec go to System > Appearance > International > now down to Time Format and change it to ( HH:mm:ss ) hopefully it will work for you.

That works like a charm! Thanks very much!

Everything is now working tip top. Love it.

Everything working great apart from my clock, it is an hour behind, when I switch back to android the time is right again, when I first did the update the time was right aswell [emoji53]
