OSMC installation fail - cannot boot it with three micro sd card

Question

I tried since several hours installing OSMC on RPi2 but after many trials I don't get it booting. I would like to investigate further.

I've tried with three micro sd cards and severals methods, here the description.

Material

Micro SD :

 - Kingston HC I(1) 8Gb class 10  
 - Lexar HC 16Gb class 6   
 - Sandisk Extreme 8Gb Class 10  

Utilities used :

 - Startup Disk Image (ubuntu tool)  
 - unetbootin  
 - dd (linux shell)   
 - restore disk image - disks utilities on ubuntu  
 - OSMC installer utility for linux

I use SD adapter to connect the micro-sd to my laptop. In this process, I've used 2 different.

None of this combination works.

I tried OSMC image OSMC_TGT_rbp2_20160502.img and previous.
I tried OpenElec image OpenELEC-RPi2.arm-6.0.3.img

Check the md5 of image and none is corrupted.

Installing Raspbian on sdcard works well. Boot normal.

I don't know how to do more to investigate further or make it work.

Any guess or good tips ?

When using the OSMC installer, try selecting the Raspberry Pi 1/Zero as the OS as that worked for me.
