futeko MiniMX / Re: Run OpenELEC from micro-SD card
« on: April 13, 2016, 07:58:21 PM »
HI,

from android i launched update & restore, i choosed a zip file and clicked on update, after the reboot, i choosed to reboot on bootloader.  after that the arlinuxmedia launched but i have a message "ssh: can't access tty; job control turned off".

i re-writed the sdcard and now openelec is working great without the ssh error. thank's  for

=>i guess entering the bootloader has made the box able to boot into openelec from SDCARD.

edit => after updating from 105l to 106l, i lost the capability of runing openelec from SDcard.  i had to reboot on bootloader to reactivate it.

I tried various things to get this working but nothing worked until I rebooted into recovery again and select reboot.

If anyone else is having issues with the sd card not booting - use toothpick method to boot into recovery and then select reboot and your box will boot sdcard. Dual booting will work after this, you can insert the sdcard for openelec or remove it for android.

I've corrected the instructions.

There's no need to press the restore button.

Just write the image to the micro-SD card as described, insert the card into MiniMX, and turn the box on. It will boot to OpenELEC.

@futeko - you may want to re-add the restore button step to the OP. It seems this is the issue people are having.

I did all that and it wouldn't stay connected.

What I did here was since Openelec would still boot I SSH
entered 'reboot recovery' and it rebooted the box into recovery.
flashed the s905_105L1 firmware via recovery and recovery works once again via toothpick method.

Also now when USB Burning Tool recognizes the box.

I used the method here..

I tried to flash 106L1 to my MiniMX which previously had Openelec installed. I connected the device via usb and followed all the steps and hit start. Nothing happened it just sat there for an hour so I stopped it. Now I cannot access recovery via toothpick and when I connect to USB Burning Tool it says 'Connect Success' for two seconds and then dissappears and shows 'HUB2-1' still.

I can still boot into Openelec but I need to put Android back on and be able to access recovery again.

Any ideas? I have previously had success recovering my M8 using the Amlogic Boot Card Maker and u-boot.bin but I don't see these same files with the MiniMX firmware to use this method.
