Subject: [R58X] Hard Brick After Failed Armbian Upgrade (Jammy to Noble)
Hello,
My Mekotronics R58X running Armbian Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy) hard-bricked after a failed attempt to upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble).
Initial Failure: The upgrade crashed, and the device would not boot/log in properly .
Recovery Attempt: I successfully flashed a new Ubuntu 24.04 image using the official Mekotronics documentation/tool.
Current Status: After the flash completed successfully and the device went offline, it is now completely dead.
It will not power on.
No LED activity.
I cannot enter recovery mode (Loader or MaskROM) using standard methods.
It appears the device is hard-bricked, possibly due to bootloader corruption. Has anyone recovered an R58X from a similar state?
Thank you for your help.
