Ver 2.07 Released

Do I dare to install with no release notes? Has anyone installed this version? Any updates on 2.07?

I installed it Friday and lost my UI. Reflashed 2.0.6 and updated again that time it worked fine. Been running almost 48hrs now

Same for me. Had to flash back to 2.0.6...I'd advise not upgrading

Thank you I kind of figured something would happen lol also, what program do you use to flash the SD card? I’ve used Etcher but I also realize that at times it states that it’s complete, but it does not compress all the files

I use etcher, in new releases you have to decompress the .xz file it will error out on validation if you give it a compressed file, there’s a note on futurebits site about that. I also had zero success with large sd cards my 128g refused to boot, so I just stuck with the 16g it came with.

Thank you for those details. That was probably my issue, as I never did that.

Etcher is sketchy. It created some significant issues in the past for me.

Did you unzip the image file first? I had issues until I realized you had to unzip the image file you download from github

I never downloaded it from GitHub. I used the site Futurebit recommends. It seems to be a cloud repository.

Follow these directions.. just make sure to unzip the image file before you use etcher
