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.
