Coreelec does not boot in X96 mini

Help & Support Installation & Booting
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€¦

Thatā€™s exactly my version

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€¦

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.
