Installation

LodorOS ships as one zip that boots every supported Miyoo device — each device reads its own platform folder at boot. All three supported devices install the same easy way (they boot from internal flash and read the SD card only for data).

The two rules that matter

  1. The card must be FAT32. LodorOS mounts the data card as vfat. An exFAT card (macOS's default for cards ≥ 32 GB) will silently fail to mount and the device falls back to its stock OS. If your card is exFAT, reformat it as MS-DOS (FAT) / FAT32 first.
  2. Extract the contents of the zip to the card root, including hidden folders. The zip contains .system/, .tmp_update/, .userdata/ and more. Use a real unzip (unzip -o), not a Finder/Explorer drag — a drag can silently skip the dot-folders and the device won't boot.

macOS note: after extracting, run dot_clean on the card to strip ._ junk, and eject cleanly (diskutil eject). Do not force-unmount — a forced unmount can leave the FAT32 with orphaned clusters, which stops the device mounting it. If a previously-working card suddenly won't boot, run diskutil repairVolume on it.

The volume label does not matter — name the card anything.

Installing ✅

Miyoo Mini Plus (miyoomini), Miyoo A30 (my282), Miyoo Flip V2 (my355)

  1. Format the SD card as FAT32.
  2. Extract the LodorOS zip onto it (contents at the card root, hidden folders included).
  3. Insert it into the device and power on. The stock firmware detects the card and launches LodorOS.

Other devices

  • Anbernic H700 family (RG35XX Plus / H, RG34XX, RG40XX, RG CubeXX): install Lodor for muOS — the same RomM sync engine as a native muOS app. See its wiki for install steps.
  • TrimUI (Brick / Smart Pro): install Lodor for NextUI — a Tool pak for stock NextUI.
  • LodorOS releases v0.9.4.1 and earlier shipped H700 and RGB30 platform support directly; those installs are documented in the v0.9.4.1 release era of this wiki and still work with that zip.
