  1. Hello, I'm new to Armbian and SoC/ARM devices but I've installed Armbian on the device before, however after tinkering around with RKDevTool and installing FriendlyELEC images on it through USB I'm now unable to boot from SD Card. I've done the "EraseAll" procedure under unbricking method https://wiki.friendlyelec.com/wiki/index.php/CM3588#Windows_Users however it didn't help. I've tried two SD Cards and I have no idea what else I can do. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find anything useful on google. The error is: "Gave up waiting for root file system device." "ALERT! UUID=602525b7-ed9f-43f7-91b0-1dc4e67b44bf does not exist. Dropping to a shell!" When in the initramfs shell I checked blkid and it seems like the SD card is /dev/mmcblk1 PTUUID="8cdc55ae-c576-6f4c-a793-0397a48dccf0". I'm guessing it should work if I change the armbian UUID or is that assumption incorrect? If so how should I go about it? Also it looks like the UUID Armbian is looking for is static which surprised me... I thought it's something randomly generated by the system. I fixed it edit: I booted into debian I got from FriendlyELEC and wrote the Armbian image directly with DD to the SD card and now it works. Before I was writing with Balena Etcher and USB Writer on Windows, tried multiple times, formatted the sd card with diskpart etc., no idea why it didn't work with those but worked with DD, especially since I did it with etcher before and it was ok. I was on a different windows version but I doubt that's the issue?
