Can you help, my t8 mini menu has gone leaving only a blue screen, only the mouse and volume controls show up?

many thanks

Not certain what you mean by the menu, do you mean the main launcher screen?
At any rate see if simply switching the box off at the mains and rebooting fixes the problem before trying anything more drastic.

sorry, yes no launcher screen. tried turning it on and off but is does the same thing.

tried clearing the cache but no launcher on android, openelec is fine.

thanks in in advance for any help

If you are in openelec and are trying to get to android, go to openelec configuration (programs) then system and on your right go to reboot to android see if this helps.

tried that too, no joy. looks like a factory reset. just got it all set up too!

If you power off and use a tooth pick in the recovery menu, power on and hold until you get the recovery menu. Now clear cache 1st then try reboot to android. See if this works 1st, and good luck.

Tried that, unfortunately still the same. thanks.

the launcher popped up for a split second then back to the blue screen, actually looks like a wallpaper

How do you get back to openelec if there's no launcher menu.
Have you installed the droidbox play market (games).
Looks like a full factory reset might be needed sorry.

@David Savage You can switch between Android and the other operating system on (most?) recent devices via the Recovery menu.
@frazmarti72 If it wasn't the Play Market that caused the launcher not to open up, can you let us know what else was installed, see if we can track the issue.

I'd already asked him to try that method and it had failed.

Hi,

I had recently installed games emulators from the play market before the problem had started.

I can go to openelec (from the recovery) and it opens, when I switch to android (from openelec) its only a wallpaper after a split second of the launcher

I'll do a factory reset tomorrow and not install any games and see if it happens again and keep you up to date, I'll maybe try a different launcher.

thanks

There an issue with this on lolipop so I'd recommend that this is not installed on your box. A factory reset will fix it, but you will need to wait 15 mins after so apps can install. Then you can go and run a wizard inside kodi.

Best of luck

 

[frazmarti72]

I'll give it a go, ta

 

[frazmarti72]

Full factory reset and all working fine, not added any games or emulators. thanks for all the advice

 

[David Savage]

You can get android games in areswizard, worth a look.
