I had the same issue on a computer running Windows 11 (see Issue 3900). My main work laptop is a Macbook Pro, and I had an older version installed (V1.7.9) with no issues at all. After seeing this issue referencing the error on macOS, I wanted to test it and just downloaded the latest Balena Etcher Version for MacOS and got the same issue as @edwardthehuman was referencing.

I saw a comment from a forum to try version 1.7.0 so I downloaded it. It worked on that version!

I did the exact same thing and it also worked for me. I still think this is an issue they need to address for the current version

Same error when I try to get my steamdeck img done. Tried latest version from belena website, same error. Latest version from github, same error. Download 1.7.0 version from Github release, it worked.

Okay, the problem is trully on 1.7.0+, but how did you guys figure out that 1.7.0 works? There is no was someone tried all the versions down to late 2021? Why 1.7.0 was tested and not 1.8.0, for instance? Thanks.

I certainly did not try all of the versions. I simply found this forum post which mentioned that 1.7.0 worked, so that is why I went all the way back to that version. I would feel as though more recent versions may work, but I didn't want to take the time to try to figure out the latest version I could use that didn't have this issue.

See also #3900 - looks like the problem might be isolated to .bz2 files?

I had the same problem trying to restore the steam deck on macos. And i found the problem starts with version 1.7.10+. With version 1.7.9 and below it works fine.

Probably more people will be having this issue because there is a current bug on steam os factory reset and valve suggests Balena Etcher on his FAQ about recovering the deck.

Worked below 1.7.9, works above 1.13.1 Thanks for the report I hope all steamdecks gonna be fine.

Uncompressing the .bz2 image fixed it for me, but this is only a workaround and might not be clear to newer users who may wonder why etched appears to suggest a disk image will take take 10+ hrs to flash :)

Totally fixed the issue for flashing steamOS image with the solution above 💯

Worked below 1.7.9, works above 1.13.1 Thanks for the report I hope all steamdecks gonna be fine.

Still having issue in 1.18.4 @mcraa There is still ongoing issue where the .bz2 source just breaks the flashing process

[mcraa]

i am not a maintainer any more, cc @aethernet possibly the sdk dependency changed in the newest version

[aethernet]

Thanks for the ping @mcraa, I've reproduced and will investigate
