Coreelec does not boot in X96 mini

#1

I am running into a second problem.

I installed Coreelec successfully on a x96 mini 6 weeks ago. All is working fine.
I tried to duplicate the same things with a new x96 mini which I bought recently. Same model.
I downloded the recent image onto a USB stick, changed the and tried the toothpick method (like last time)

Now all what i get is this

What am I doing wrong? How can I fix this?
Thx for your help

Does the installation on SD card/USB stick from first box work on this new box?
There are 2 versions of X96 mini boxes, with S905W and S905X processorsā€¦

#3

No, all gets me to this pageā€¦
I tried both the ā€œnewā€ and the ā€œoldā€ USB stickā€¦
Will double check the processor, though

#4

Itā€™s the Amlogic 905W processor

#5

IIRC that screen means the USB stick is not ā€˜seenā€™.

Will the new USB stick boot on the old device?

#6

What is the Android version on the box?
My X96mini_S905W box is on Android 7.1.2 and itā€™s rooted.
What about yours?

#7

No, it doesnā€™t. But I tried with two different USB sticks and a Micro SD cardā€¦

#8

Thatā€™s exactly my version

#9

And the ā€œoldā€ USB stick doesnā€™t work on it either. And on top of it I tried with two different x96 boxes which just arrivedā€¦

The new x96 mini of mine doest boot eighter from sd card.
tried dtb gxl_p212_2g and gxl_p281_2g as dtb.img.
anybody has a solution for us?

#11

How can I easyaly get coreelec on intern without SD Card???

#12

You need to first get it to boot from SD card to be able to install to internal.
But if you do that, we wonā€™t be able to help with many possible issues, as installtointernal is not officially supported.

#13

why my first x96 mini boot with the same sd cart and the second one doesnt.
Any idea?

#14

If I canĀ“t boot from SD I canĀ“t also not install on internal?
Thankx for answers

#15

is there a possibillity to flash x96 mini from computer, not from SD?

#16

Have you tried the new usbs and sdcard in the old box ?

#17

No, you canā€™t.
And you could have a bad SD card.

#18

yes the sd card works in the other x96 mini. i donĀ“t understand why not in the secondone.
Tried several libreelec and coreelec.

#19

The sc card is 100% working. Also tried several other dtb.img for s905 w/x

Please try to avoid double and triple posts, but edit your posts instead.

If the same sd card with different installations (CE/LE) works in one device, but not in the other of the exact same model, there is only one logical conclusion:
Your second device is broken.
