Ceemmc single boot mode doesnt work for VIM3L

[JimmyS]

I mentioned it here, but I think this deserve separate track, as its not - generally - related to the CE release, more like cemmc tool as such…

• Khadas VIM3L device.
• Freshly flashed original VIM3L firmware, from time since I bought it, working fine for my other vim3l device, cemmc’ed years ago, at some older 9.2 (?) version - VIM3L_Pie_V191011.7z. No issues with Burning tool and flashing original firmware whatsoever.
• Vanilla uSD card with latest Omega 21-ng

Use dual boot mode!
CoreELEC do require Android stuff for media playback anyway.

Ah,I didnt know that, as I am using single boot a loong time. Thanks for reply!
I will try dual boot and let you know.

Anyway, if thats common and expected status, maybe some mention in ceemc wiki page worth edit? I swear I tried to gather as much actual information about ceemmc as I could, before posting forum, it could help any other guys trying the same thing with the recent installations.

Confirming, Dual Boot has no such issues
