Radxa Zero 3E won't boot

[Loshta]

Zero 3E, all images, same UUID/initramfs error on boot.  Tried different flashing methods, sd cards. All the same fail. Board works with the old Joshua riek dist.

Works just fine

My bad I didn't specify. On Windows. I lost 4h on it. I needed to use dd on a Mac to create a bootable SD card. Arbian Imager didn't help, it killed my Window stuck on storage finding and couldn't be killed. on Mac made a bad job of flashing, didn't even started boot.  Btw on Windows, all methods I used (Raspberry Imager, Etcher, Rufus) all made like 50ish small 0 bite partitions and one big unallocated. Somehow it started booting, Armbian logo on, but then it failed.

Same thing is happeing with me at first it booted correctly with armbian imager then suddenly it crashed and after that whenever i tried to flash it using armbian imgaer its giving error of initramfs , btw iam using Radxa zero 3w , any solution or any step iam doing wrong , i have tried it with different imager but same problem.

If it worked once and now not anymore, it might be the SD-card that is the problem. It might be a as bad that it is a fake SD-card.

I also thought the same so i was using a sandisk 32 gb sd card so i switched to samsung 64 gb one but same issue in it also, i think the problem is something else.

The other usual thing is then PSU. So also maybe try a different one. Else I cannot really help you, not being able to find rootfs can have pure software cause, but is unlikely if other people can run it successfully. I wish I had bought this SBC a year ago, but I didn't and now they are sold out where I looked, so cannot see If I can reproduce the problem. You need to look in more detail yourself, like connecting serial debug console and setting loglevel to 7 in armbianEnv.txt. Also post which exact image is  (sha256sum), so other people can try the same thing.
