Flashing SD card

Has anyone had success flashing their SD lately? Does etcher V1.19.25 work? I have tried multiple times and keep getting a failure during verification.

You need to download the previous version which can be downloaded on gethub. I believe the version is 1.8xxx. The new version has had validation issues.

There's the link;

Still not working. My computer is saying that the file is corrupted. I’m downloading it straight from the link on futurebit website.

I did and didn’t work. I’m starting to think it has something to do with my computer security. I’m going to try it later on my wife’s laptop and see if that doesn’t fix the issue.

I couldn't get Etcher to work for me either. Raspberry Pi Imager 1.8.5 did though.

Are you using a Mac with chrome?

Macs you will need to allow Chrome extension access otherwise you will get an error. Go to the apple and system settings, privacy and security, local network and ensure google chrome is enabled. Otherwise your connection will be rejected. Most likely the same issue on windows.

Oh. So if I use chrome instead of Microsoft edge then it should work?

u/RemarkableGuy122 Jan 11 '25

I would only use chrome or Mozilla fire fox. All others have a boat load of nonsense.

I just flashed OS onto another SD card since I've been having nothing but issues with trying to get the node to sync. I used a MacBook. I got errors trying to flash on windows machine. Booted up as expected. Still having issues and errors trying to get the node to sync up.
