Rom Flash Tool Mk 808b Boot From Sd
This is the first of our series of tutorials that will be making their way to the new website over from the old one. For the time being we are just posting the video tutorials but we will eventually get around to posting step by step guides as well.
So, with that in mind let’s get started. In this lesson Matthew will first show you how to download, write and boot the LibreELEC operating system from an SD card, he then goes on to explain how we can use a process called ‘SSH’ from within Windows to allow you to copy the OS from the SD card and run it straight from your MXQ box. Reminder: This is a tutorial focused on installing the OS onto devices that have an Amlogic S805 processor, specifically the MXQ OTT TV box, although this guide can be adapted to other S805 devices and the process is also similar for other processors as well so proceed with caution. We aren’t responsible if you damage your hardware!

THIS HAS BEEN TESTED ON OUR MXQ S805 BOXES. ALTHOUGH THIS WILL WORK ON OTHER DEVICES AS WELL WE CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG! Thanks I have a few questions. My ethernet is not working with this image. It works fine with android. I can use the wifi although I prefer my wired connection. Anyone else having this problem?

I guess I have to try the other MXQ image. I would like to copy all of the system (presently in the nand) to the sd card image. Is this possible? Like in putty “copytoexterna”l? How do you return the box to original state as in just android? I have a twrp image on SD card backed up before I copied the image to internal, I am assuming that I can just boot from SD and restore. Any thoughts?
Sorry, bit unclear re NAND install. Does it result in being able to Dual Boot Android/LibreElec, or does LibreElec totally overwrite Android? I suspect the latter, in which case, do you consider LibreElec to be ‘futureproof’, or could we have to revert back to Android in the future? (perhaps this is a daft question, as I understand the reason for LibreElec is due to the new versions of Kodi not being supported by the MXQ Android version, but it might be interesting to get your point of view) Thanks.
