I was following the guide to install s928x:
That was for my X96 X10 Pro device (8GB version) and I completed the installation successfully, using a usb stick, the unstable image: CoreELEC-Amlogic-ne.aarch64-22.0-Piers_nightly_20241220-Generic.img and the tencent dtb, which doesn’t have microsd support.
Then I was reading in the comments that it might be possible to extract the internal dbt from my device and use it as an image together with the remote.conf file that a user shared at the end of the comments of the guide (which is a modified version of an X96 device (S905X)). So I extracted it (dd if=/dev/dtb | gzip > /storage/downloads/dtb.img.gz) and copied it to the root of the device, where the previous dtb was and put there also the remote.conf file shared by the user.
When booting the device, it says something like wrong image size and starts resizing the partition. When it finishes it reboots and when booting, the boot gets stuck on the welcome screen. I would like to share at least the kernel logs, but I’m a new user and they won’t let me share files yet.
What can I do about this, to get it to boot? Please don’t tell me that what I can do is wait for a dbt from my device, because that is precisely what I want to avoid, as I don’t know if or when that will happen.
Thanks in advance.
