wolf7250 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 First off, could someone please help. I did not seem to be able to create this topic without a tag and the only tag it would accept was "solved". Wondering if somebody could remove the "solved" tag and add in "odroidhc4"? I purchased a brand new odroid hc4 board with the intention of installing armbian and then subsequently OMV. My intention was/is to install Armbian on a MicroSD card. On the downloader page I read that in order to clean boot Armbian the incompatible Petit bootloader needs to be removed. I tried the bootloader bypass (preferred) method and that didn't seem to work for me. The board still seemed to go to the petitboot UI. I then tried the Petitboot Console method and ran the following commands as detailed on the download page: # flash_eraseall /dev/mtd0 # flash_eraseall /dev/mtd1 # flash_eraseall /dev/mtd2 # flash_eraseall /dev/mtd3 These all seemed to run/complete without issue. I then rebooted the board and now absolutely nothing happens. It doesn't boot to the Petitboot UI/Console and it doesn't boot to Armbian either.... Does anybody have any suggestions or wisdom that can help resolve this? Thanks 🙂 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolf7250 Posted April 15, 2022 Author Share Posted April 15, 2022 Also, if someone could please assist, I was unable to create this topic without a tag as it's a required field. But it wouldn't let me enter anything except for "solved" as the tag, which this definitely is not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolf7250 Posted April 20, 2022 Author Share Posted April 20, 2022 OK. Now this is actually solved. The issue was I was unknowingly using a legacy Buster armbian image. As soon as I tried it with a current Buster armbian image the bootloader picked it up and it installed and booted armbian. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
