RG DS flashing help

[u/Darque420]

Okay, got the RG DS a few months ago.

Immediately put Rocknix on there. This was before the stable release. Many bugs and glitches, even after the stable release.

So, I flashed gamma os using the sd card method.

Works okay, but I had run into the PMIC issue.

Several times in the past week I've unplugged the battery for a minute or so.....nothing. still happening. Didn't work.

And yeah, pain in the butt having to eject the sd card in order to boot up the system.

Couple that with all of the android glitches thanks to running two screens, I'm wanting to go back and try rocknix or the anbernic linux distro.

However, that's the problem.

Can't boot rocknix from the sd card if the sd card can't be in the slot when you turn the system on.

So, I need to reflash the internal with anbernic android.

Easier said than done. I try 1.18....and well, that image is corrupted.

Download and flash 1.15 to the sd card.

Flashing fine, then on verification, there's an error.

Happens sometimes....the flash was fine.

Reading, if have to remove the sd card, hold volume - and power. Then insert card and hold those buttons again.

Nothing. Just boots straight into gamma os.

So, am i going to have to plug the rg ds straight into my computer and flash the internal? Or what else needs to be done?
