Erica Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I was going to install armbian on a new vim 3 board but it seems that krescue no longer exists. Is there another way to install armbian to a vim 3? Does the vim 4 have the same problem? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Igor Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 1 hour ago, Erica said: but it seems that krescue no longer exists. Boot from SD card and install it classic way (armbian-install) doesn't work? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erica Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 Not so far. Power button reset button trick takes me to android recovery. That menu doesnt seem helpful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erica Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 I tried going to the bootloader from there but it just hangs with the khadas logo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erica Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 I had tried, but when it didnt work I read the directions for the board which say to get krescue still. I still have manjaro running on my other board from june. So i never did get armbian on my other vim3. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erica Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 I just did find a krecovery image and booted into that. Flashing armbian again to another sdcard, the image seems fine. Ill try manjaro next. Id rather have armbian. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erica Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 Ive tried both armbian downloads, and the original manjaro. None do anything. I end up in android only the krecover Image has actually booted from sd. Im doing something wrong but i dont know what. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erica Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 I should report that I successfully installed bookworm on the vim3 pro by wiping emmc and spi with my old version of krescue. I still have no answer without krescue. I installed minimal, then xorg and xmonad. No dm or desktop. It seems stable, but with xorg it only runs a while before there is a run away process and it locks up and overheats. It could be anything, but i run a barebones xmonad, emacs setup. Still running on sdcard. Fully updated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeArmbianForumUser Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 The link to the krescue image on Armbian's Khadas-VIM3 page does not work (anymore). It needs to be replaced with https://dl.khadas.com/firmware/Krescue/dump/ (note the lower-case f in "/firmware/"). Confusingly, other firmware images are still available below https://dl.khadas.com/Firmware with upper-case F. To prevent the image from getting lost again, I've asked the internet archive to archive the latest krescue sd card image for VIM3: https://web.archive.org/web/20240426161033/https://dl.khadas.com/firmware/Krescue/system/versions/VIM3.krescue.sd.220110_266.img.gz 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erica Posted May 2 Author Share Posted May 2 Yes. I have krescue. It still hasn't worked. I have a vim3 from a year ago that I have manjaro booting from sdcard. I'd like it to be armbian, but havent managed to get an armbian sdcard to boot in it. Its my only working vim3. I bought a Vim4 recently. But it was DOA. Now I'm travelling and have no recourse but to keep using manjaro which Kind-of sucks. I left the android only vim3 at home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
