I think multiboot works only if installed openelec in eMMC. When you install Android or something else in eMMC bootloader is overwritten.

There is an option to replace only bootloader before flashing Android or something in eMMC.

dubaisatshop, which matrix version you have?
Seems something happen with filesystem and can't be fixed. Hard to say what. This happen after first reboot or shutdown or when exactly?

vpeter I must first say thank you very much for putting out this openelec version for the matrix, this has revived a box I thought had become obsolete :)

I am having a slight problem, the box will not shut down when I turn the TV off or when I select shut down from the kodi menu, or even when I press the shutdown button the side of the matrix itself... so Ive had to resort to unplugging the box when I want to shut it down and not hear the loud fan constantly running...

That was all well and good until this evening when I rebooted the box and found all my settings have vanished and it is acting as if it was a new openelec install :((

I had to enable the fan and turn the blinking LED off again

fan on
Code: Select All Code
echo "echo default-on > /sys/class/leds/fan/trigger" >>/storage/.config/autostart.sh


blinking led off
Code: Select All Code
echo "echo default-on > /sys/class/leds/red/trigger" >>/storage/.config/autostart.sh


timezone setting to get appropriate time
Code: Select All Code
nano /storage/.config/autostart.sh

to add to autostart:
Code: Select All Code
#!/bin/sh
(sleep 30; \
/sbin/ntpd 0.ca.pool.ntp.org; \
)&

Code: Select All Code
chmod +x /storage/.config/autostart.sh

Code: Select All Code
ntpd -q -p 0.ca.pool.ntp.org



and now I am having to reload a backup of my kodi settings.. Im worried this will happen again in the future... any suggestions on how to avoid this?

I am running openelec 5.0.8 (I updated from the 5.0.4 version you provided here, could that be the issue?) on a v1.3 board

was this why it reset itself or was it related to me having to unplug the unit? or because I updated it from your 5.0.4 to 5.0.8 (sorry for all the questions)
