RE: Boot XBian from USB
i'm not sure if this matters now as i believe this has been solved in staging and is pending move to stable, but i recreated this issue and am able to get some info. wasn't sure whether to post it here or to the '[PROBLEM] Suddenly read-only :0' thread, but here it is.
i don't have a display connected right now, but i installed a fresh beta2, upgraded to RC1, and used xbian-copy to /dev/sda1. changed root=/dev/sda1 and rebooted, on reboot could not ssh in but (thanks to mk01) telnet worked! several services had failed to start, probably because of this
Code:
xbian@xbian ~ $ ls -l /dev/sda*
brw------- 1 root root 8, 0 Jan  1  1970 /dev/sda
brw------- 1 root root 8, 1 Jan  1  1970 /dev/sda1
brw------- 1 root root 8, 2 Jan  1  1970 /dev/sda2

so /, /home and /lib/modules are read only and wrong group. i will keep this test install for a bit in case you want any more info, and tell me if we should move this discussion to github.

***please click 'thanks' if I helped!***

Im not sure where you got your information from but you simply can not do what you trying to do.
XBian can not be install on any smart TV. Please always read official information and not some 3rd party blogs or video tutorials

@rikardo1979

Do you think it would be an idea to create a separate thread for installing XBian on smart TV's.

Something like.

Subject: Installing Kodi on Smart TV's Samsung, Panasonic, Sony, Vizio etc

There are a number of YouTube videos that purport to install XBian on a smart TV. These videos are fake, and if you watch closely, there is no video of the installation process and the final screen of XBian installed is just a jpg picture and NOT a running system.

These videos have nothing to do with XBian and were posted by a prankster, hoping to waste gullible peoples time - and possibly money. We have requested YouTube to remove the offending videos.

XBian can never be installed on any Smart TV. It can be installed on Raspberry Pi's, Cubox-i and Hummingboard only.


!!!!! It might show up in google, and save some people a lot of grief !!!!!

Doesn't help. Those completely stupid guys are not able to read comments, they just want to believe that this works Tongue

Another thing ...

My PI3 is set by

https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/bootmodes/msd.md

to

Code:
$ vcgencmd otp_dump | grep 17:
17:3020000a

So the RPI3 is able to boot via USB or LAN.

How to modify the latest Xbian-Image, that it is also able to boot via USB (exp. sda)?

IMO everything you need to know is documented in the very good wiki article
