I need uart log. Create a CoreElec SDcard, short pins 29-30 and try to boot CoreElec, watching what happens..
I tried to install this CoreElec but it doesn't work. I did everything from https://coreelec.org/ install guide ( M8S PRO W img + gxl_p281_2g renaming ) but the SD card isn't booting when I'm shorting those pins.

Try USB stick, some manufacturers disable SD card in BL1, otherwise please post uart log

I tried booting Core Elec from usb stick but nothing happens and I don't have an uart board in order to connect it to the tvbox for getting the logs...

This is bad. I compile a new Pie-Bootloader SDcard version for your device and create a complete CoreElec.img (Bootloader + IMG) for direct booting via SD card, let's see what happens

Hello, please let me know if if and when you create it. This will probably be the last shot for this tv box.

Ok, no problem, I'll wait. Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for Gearbest to refund me, it's been a week and the refund it's still pending. Will have to check for something a little better this time than the M8S Pro w.

Hi, i hope you got a uart adapter during this time, because without a log, it's just a puzzle game. I will try to build a single trial version in the late evening..
