    Hi All
    I've just tried the OTA Android update to version V1.17 which includes the ability to boot from either Nand or SDcard without removing the SDcard.
    Nice Idea in theory but for me didn't work at all.
    On boot-up a screen ask's us to push power button to boot from SDcard but the box continues to boot into android anyway.


    I was trying to boot into OpenATV 5.3 should that be of interest.


    Anybody else having this problem or any advice on how to fix this issue.

    Thanks for that, it's nice to know it's not just me!


    I did find by formatting cash partition I could get E2 to start but only the once, on next reboot it would have to be done again.
    I doubt there will be long to wait.


    Cheers Dave.

    You can also flash Android 1.17 to get the various updates and afterwards just reflash only the bootloader to 1.16. Effectively you end up with 1.17 installed but using the 1.16 loader it will auto boot to SD card if one is present if not it boots to nand, both files are available on the official Wetek forum.

    Thanks 1999gtv your help was appreciated


    I found the uboot's you were referring to (I've included V1.1.6 = No Dual Boot and V1.1.7 with Dual Boot)


    What appears to happen is if screen resolution or HDMI settings are changed in android, these changes are stored in the bootloader and destroy the ability of dualboot from working (I'm amazed none of the devs spotted this potential issue before releasing it)


    The fix is to reinstall the uboot from update console (It wouldn't install from WeUpdate for me) and as you say we can pick from the old and new version, so the best of both worlds.

    Now I've a new issue, My box refuses to shut down from android and the LED stay's blue forcing a reboot to get to the boot option. This only happens with an external HDD connected, so probably a mount / un-mount issue.

    Yes spot on with the resolution change it writes to bootloader if you change resolution in the set up menu also if you enable hdmi cec that breaks dual boot as well. I gave up with dual boot and installed 1.16 boot loader and have since swapped again to E2 on nand and Libreelec on SD card. Is your externall hdd powered as mine is and unless I turn off hdd power the Wetek won't close down

    No, actually my HDD is a wetek powered 2.5" caddy and works perfect with Openelec / Enigma2 / Android, until the multiboot Uboot is installed.
    I'm back on the v1.1.6 bootloader aswell. V1.1.7 is far from ready for public release (in my opinion anyway)

    i have the same problem

    Download now working fine, have tried this image before and it worked for 3 reboots before failing again and only booting to android, nice idea Wetek just needs more work kind of sums up the entire android experience on this box, hopefully others will have more luck than me

    For wetek play 1 last version of android originally posted by Masterchief on the Wetek forum in june 2016 was wetek os 1.18. This was meant to fix dual boot issues with wetek os 1.17, it worked for some not for others, and disappeared from downloads until it reappeared on the forum in december 2016 . Apparently no further updates on android side is possible as the Wetek play 1 can not run android 6 or later.
