@Neonhyatt Whats your SD Card? Or USB?

Neonhyatt commented 2 months ago

@Fighterhen63 it's a 32gb SanDisk sd card

Fighterhen63 commented 2 months ago

32gb SanDisk sd card

Okay, is it a micro SD card or regular one? Also no matter what if you can get another USB device. So another SD Card or USB try using that. This happened to me, but it was due to my SD Card failing. So try a different one. If ones not available I'm not sure what to tell you. Maybe try reflashing your SD Card

@Fighterhen63 tried using a 128gb micro sd and gui still doesn't show

@Neonhyatt Sorry for the late responce... Anyway I looked over your initial message, and I noticed that your Build device output showed you we're using your chromebook. Is this the same one? Also did this happen after flashing a new image, or is it still the same flashed image from when you started using this? Either way I recommend returning to stable mode to reset your device then go back into dev mode, "unenroll" using sh1mmer, then try it again.
