weirdly enough after leaving it alone for 10 mins it started working, i guess it took a bit to boot up or something.
riothedev
Solved.

On first boot they have to expand the fs and restart a few times
riothedev
alright, thanks a lot.
riothedev
i've been wwaiting for 10 mins already and it stilll hasn't booted up, it does this every time, could it be the sd card?
illegitimate_egg
hmm
illegitimate_egg
it shouldn't do it every time
riothedev
mhm its quite weird it didnt do that before
riothedev
now whatever i flash it does that
riothedev
although my old 64gb sd card broke so i had to switch to a 16gb one, so it could be the card
riothedev
been 20 mins
riothedev
still hasnt started

Just connect a monitor and a keyboard and go from darkness to enlightenment !
riothedev
dont have a mini hdmi to an hdmi sadly
oops.se
Buy one.
riothedev
well yea i will but its not as available in my country, so i'd have to order it
riothedev
and that takes time
riothedev
meanwhile im wondering if i can fix that
riothedev
because its not starting at all anymore basically
riothedev
weird it doesnt even blink anymore
riothedev
it blinks for a bit and then goes blank
riothedev
welp, im gonna blame the sd card. i've been waiting for it to boot for around 40 mins now, even reflashed it a few times but nothing
riothedev
it worked just fine yesterday though, although it was quite slow
