Re: system broken beyond repair - recovery - can't format MicroSD

Yes that's the first thing I tried, versions 4 and 5.
I also tried using another computer for their card reader.

Re: Editing config.txt for 240p Composite

Okay so I figured out what was wrong. NOOBS or PINN adds this at the end of the config.txt when you install the OSes when plugged into an HDMI monitor. NOOBS Auto-generated Settings: hdmi_force_hotplug=1 All you need to do is delete it from all the config files for each OS. sdtv_mode=1 and sdtv_mode...

Re: Dual boot Kodi & Lakka through PINN Lite

I went to Github, and tried using the search feature.
I can't seem to find any info on how to install if I just have a .img file.

Can you point me to it?

Re: Dual boot Kodi & Lakka through PINN Lite

Thanks for the reply.

The Lakka image was pre-made and has a lot of steps if I wanted to do it manually.

My RPi is comming in the mail, So I don't have it right now to test,
but to make things clear, all i have to do is have the USB stick plugged in, and the Lakka image will show up in PINN?
