For vim3 it’s CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-9.1-nightly_20190814-Generic.img.gz

None of us have the tools to confirm this, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work, since it’s running the same code.

how to make the remote control works ? I have the “remote.conf” file , but where should i copy it ?
thanks :slight_smile:

Submit via ssh command:
echo 'meson-ir * kvim' > /storage/.config/rc_maps.cfg
and reboot box.

I find PutTy is a easy program to use. you simply download and install putty on your windows laptop/pc then in putty enter your coreelec box ip address and root as the username and coreelec as the password. it will log in to your box, you can then execute the command ”installtointernal” … the process is automatic and you simply wait for it to finish then remove the sd card from your box and reboot, it will then boot the freshly installed CE from internal

Indeed, it seems simple, I will test that. but, the .img.gz file, where will it go? It must be placed on the PC?

I fresh new write 0815 vim3 img to usb storage
plugin usb storage to usb3.0 port, remove SD card.
power on vim3
vim3 booting to ce, wait to finished
SSH into vim3
run installtoemmc
type yes to confirm
when finished, It’s say remove all usb and sd storage, and power on vim3

I removed all storage from vim3, and replug in power cord,

but vim3 do nothing ,no HDMI signal, only power led blink(white).

and I can’t boot from usb or SD either,

long hold on power botton or click function botton three times in two secons also not working

how can I do?

PS: I have restored to adroid.

I have tried two times,all failure.

You should copy the remote.conf to your .config (Configfiles) folder.
It works better then the meson-ir solution suggested by afl1.

@startv

The firmware of a USB or SD card that starts with a button is supported by uboot. If you refresh uboot during the process of installing coreELEC to VIM3, you may not be able to boot from USB or SD card.

have you run installtoemmc? after that can you booting into ce from emmc?

Which did you use? you say USB storage and then you say SD?

@startv Can you get me a link to download it ?

I use usb, not sd

you mean 0815 nightbuild?

@startv which one you used ? give me that one
