Can CE be installed in eMMC?

Greetings,

I have the WP2 and Mecool K1 Pro.
I do not use the Android System on the device at all.

In WP2 I installed eMMC Memory LE system and updated it to CE.

I want to do the same with the Mecool K1 Pro. Find a solution to this and get rid of the Android System.

If it happens, it will be super.

Thanks in advance

Best regards…

Does the “installtointernal” command not work any more? My memory is a bit hazy but I switched from LibreElec a couple of months ago, I tried CoreElec on an SD card then when I was I happy I’m sure I SSH’d in and ran the “installtointernal” from the command prompt.

I’m on an S905X box, like you I didn’t use the android at all.

Many thanks for your reply.

I can not understand the meaning of the “installtointernal” system, actually.
What happens when I do this or what?

SSH into your box. Password : coreelec
Issue command “installtointernal”
Remove the SD card running Coreelec.
Reboot box.

If it fails to reboot, reinsert SD card and repeat again.

This has been discussed and described ,many times before - so a simple search should have answered your question, to not do the search is simply lazy.

Shoog has the answer.

Connect to the box via SSH (use putty if you are using Windows)
Login as user “root”, password “coreelec”
Type the command “installtointernal” and hit enter
CoreElec will reboot and install itself into the internal memory.

If you get stuck, do a search for “installtointernal” and I’m sure it will bring up a wealth of information.

The title of this topic is wrong, CoreELEC can be installed on the eMMC and you have been able to do it since our first release.

Hi ozkaradag ,
as I understand you are trying to install to internal on a Mecool K1 Pro box. I’m interested in feedback if possible, whatever the outcome, because I am pondering doing the same thing as you. I have two of those devices. Hope you succeed.

Greetings,

Of course, I will write feedback on this matter whether it happened or not.

Best regards…

Thx.
Cheers

Something on my mind.

When I do this, all the settings, attachments are transferred, right?

Best regards…

The exact system and all settings that are on the SD will be transferred to the eMMC.

Retain the SD card because if something goes wrong with the installed system on the eMMC you can restore using “installtointernal” from the running SD card system.

Can I go to the Android System?
Is Android wiping? what is happening?

Best regards…

Android will be overwritten.
You won’t be able to boot Android anymore if you run installtointernal.

I just went to eMMC.

Loaded smoothly, result: Excellent.

I was very aware of the speed of the boot and the zapping speed of the channel.

Note: I apologize for the time-consuming Minesweeper game.

Hi @ozkaradag ,
did you install on a K1 Pro ?
Cheers

Greetings,

As I wrote in the last post, I was installed without problems and I use it with pleasure.

If you do not want to use Android, I strongly recommend it.

Best regards…
