hi, i have the same box. First you need usb with fat32 file system. Maybe if you use different usb stick will help. I'm using this image black-hole-3-0-3-kodi.21837
instalation was ok but i didnt know when it finished. Turn off the box, put usb wiith image. Start box at the back and wait. The light must start blinking slowly. I waited maybe 15 minutes then restarted box and it was all ok.
Maybe somebody know proper procedure to do this better? Any help welcome

Make sure there are no usb devices plugged into the rear and flash using the side port.

I had the same issue and found that you need to format your USB key using the following instructions:

1. Insert a USB flash drive into a running computer.

2. Open a Command Prompt window as an administrator.

3. Type diskpart.

4. In the new command line window that opens, to determine the USB flash drive number or drive letter, at the command prompt, type list disk, and then click ENTER. The list disk command displays all the disks on the computer. Note the drive number or drive letter of the USB flash drive.

5. At the command prompt, type select disk X, where X is the drive number or drive letter of the USB flash drive, and then click ENTER.

6. Type clean, and the click ENTER. This command deletes all data from the USB flash drive.

7. To create a new primary partition on the USB flash drive, type create part pri, and then click ENTER.

8. To select the partition that you just created, type select part 1, and then click ENTER.

9. To format the partition, type format fs=ntfs quick, and then click ENTER.

10. Type active, and then click ENTER.

11. Type exit, and then click ENTER.
