Is it possible to build a new bootable USB drive from libreelec?

Plug your USB drive in to the LibreELEC box, unmount it (make a note of the device), then write the uncrompressed img to the USB device using dd.

The following should work, replace /dev/sdX with your USB device:

wget http://archive.libreelec.tv/LibreELEC-Ge...006.img.gz -O- | gunzip -c > /storage/LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.90.006.img

dd if=/storage/LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.90.006.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1M conv=fsync

sync

poweroff

Now boot from your UBS device and install LibreELEC 8.90.006. You can then upgrade again to one of these test builds if you wish.

If you want to install using only the #1102 test build:

1. Boot the USB memory stick into run mode (this uses only the USB memory stick for storage, and is thus "persistent")
   
2. Complete the First Run Wizard, and perform an upgrade of LibreELEC 8.90.006 using the #1102 test build:
   • Copy the #1102 tar file into the Update folder
     
   • Reboot, allowing the USB stick to boot into run mode again
     
3. Once LibreELEC has finished updating to #1102, reboot
   
4. Boot into installer mode which will now install LibreELEC #1102 directly to your SSD/HDD
   

These test builds include a few tweaks to the installer script that are not present in 8.90.006, so this would be an ideal time to test those!

Any ideas on what the issue with my existing build is?

Maybe /storage/.config has been trashed, or you made a configuration change months/years ago which you've now lost thanks to the malware.

Just out of interest did you still have SMB1 enabled at the time of the malware incident?

Note: you're using a custom edid so you may want to save that before overwriting. Also, from the network failures in your log you may also want to enable the "Wait for network" setting after you have completed the installation.
