Nightly builds

in my GTK, the problem is the same…what can i do ?

Same here. S912. How to restore box?
Solved. Replaced kernel and system from release tar.

Yes, last nightly don’t boot on N2

Yep last night was a spanner in the works. Boot loop on reboot.
Fortunately only got my N2.

So to get back to functional state, any way to make N2 boot coreelec from usb stick?

Just extract kernel and system files from previous nightly version and use PC to replace them on USB or sd card

Fixed for me (S912 / K12)

  • My coreelec is in external USB
  • On your computer plug the USB
  • Download previous (nightly_2019110)
  • extract : KERNEL / KERNEL.md5 from folder target
  • copy (replace) on USB those files.
  • reboot
  • I apply again the update (to be more ‘clean’) = copy the CoreELEC-Amlogic.arm-9.2-nightly_20191101.tar

Not a solution for emmc install.

Getting file type error for kernel with usb boot. I guess only solution is to buy an emmc reader

It is on N2 because you can remove the emmc as an sd card or usb stick.

Only if you have an emmc adapter, otherwise not.

Who cannot afford 1.5 USD? I thought every N2 owner has this:

I always intended this as a one of install so an emmc reader was considered not a necessity.

You can use it for the first time too. :slight_smile: Cheaper than buying an sd card which you will not use anymore.

Not a productive discussion.

Going to have to reinstall by the looks of things, which in itself is not straightforward since the N2 fails to detect my Samsung screen resolution in petitboot so you have to boot blindly.

My fears have come true. The update nightly 20191101? with CoreELEC for Mecool KIII Pro (S912) in the internal memory has caused the impossibility of booting the system. I have returned to the stable version 9.2.0 from a USB flash, I have installed CoreELEC in the internal memory, and I have recovered my last backup.

Ok, coreelec boot nicely from microsd. Can i access the “faulty” emmc from this corelec install?

Yes if you boot the SD and then list the partitions using “df”.

Looking for the update folder in EMMC, any ideas?

Its a kernel panic so i doubt it will ever get to checking the update folder.
