After installing the latest update, OSMC would not boot and will only display a sad face that would loop.

Another common reason this can happen is when the ATV1 loses A/C power. When that happens, the system will appear to operate normally until you need to update it. When you try updating it, it will fail because you cannot write to a Read-Only partition **…

if you post logs we can confirm if that is the problem.

I have most definitely had power cuts at my house whilst using my ATV1 running CB2. Ergo, I assume that I have “incorrectly shut down” my ATV1, right?
