Hello, I’m having trouble installing CoreElec (20.2 Nexus) on my MXQ Pro Mini Leelbox Q2 (S905X, 1GB RAM, 8GB internal storage) set-top box. The system boots up fine from the SD card, but I am faced with a certain error;
Free space of 'partition CE_FLASH': 512MB Warning: Could not find 'dto' partition! Could not find 'CE_STORAGE' partition! Failed to read size of partition 'CE_STORAGE'! Failed to create new partition table!
The device was not rooted nor had the ability to be rooted. The stock firmware was running Android 9, but I have since changed it to AidanROM’s custom Android TV also running Android 9 (to test it out, but I have deemed it too demanding for this particular box).
My question is, are there any solutions or various tests I could try to fix my issue? Like could rooting AidanROM’s firmware solve my case or are there other things I could try?
Thank you for taking your time to respond to me. I have followed your steps and now successfully migrated CoreElec to my eMMC on this set-top box. Sorry for the late response, I was busy this week.
Now I was wondering, it showed that installing single boot was not available. Is there a reason for that?
Another thing I noticed… after installing Aidan’s v7.5 ~ Android 7.12 I was no longer able to boot into a recovery mode from pressing down on the reset button, I had to manually go into the terminal of the recovery and type reboot update. Is there a particular reason for this behaviour?
I needed recovery as that was the way I flashed AidanROM in the first place. I used the Amlogic USB burning tool. I also thought that recovery could be used in another way when CoreElec was isntalled.
But yes, CoreElec does boot first and I’m happy with that.
