I am rying to factory reset, following these directions: [image] Just got my Umbrel home but login fails Support and Troubleshooting warning Here is a step-by-step guide to fully resetting an Umbrel Home: Initiate the Factory Reset: Open a terminal and run the followi…

Mission accomplished! I flashed umbrelos-amd64-usb-installer.iso version 1.2.2 to the USB stick. I didn’t need the HDMI output at all–it only helped me diagnose that something was going wrong with all the other disk images I tried. Installation went completely smooth, I didn’t even need to push an…

[image] samtronic: umbrelos-amd64-usb-installer.iso.xz There are a few things you mention that are a bit confusing. You mention having “reflashed a usb stick”. This makes me think your hardware is a mini pc/nuc, for example. Then you mention that you even tried umbrelos-amd64-usb-installer.…

Like I mentioned in the title of the thread, I’m on an Umbrel Home. I’ve tried both umbrel-usb-reflasher.iso and umbrelos-amd64-usb-installer.iso.xz (the second one being what the AI support agent on getumbrel.com suggested)

Now I have it clearer. Sorry for forgetting that you are on Umbrel Home. I don’t use it; I have my mini-pc and RPI4. I’ve been looking at the guide you followed and I see the following. In step 1, there is a command that invokes a script that contains the following. # Reset Umbrel ############## …

Very interesting. Yes, I do want to start with a completely clean installation and would be interested… thank you. The rest of the instructions following that script in the first step do not seem to work on their own… I wonder if there is a similar script I would need to have run automatically via…

For example, this is pretty much what I’ve been following, with no luck. [Screenshot 2024-12-02 at 8.16.26 PM] source: Unanswered questions about the Umbrel Home

I was reading what you sent from Unanswered questions about the Umbrel Home . At the top of the page there is a “warning” that says: “Some details may be outdated as this article was written for a version prior to 1.0 of umbrelOS!”. Anyway, I have the feeling that many things have changed in the mos…

Thank you for this! The Umbrel Home only has USB ports, so I’ll need to get my hands on a USB-HDMI output adapter before I can try this out. I am pretty sure umbrel-usb-reflasher.iso is working, because after ~5 minutes, the Umbrel Home shuts off as it should… the umbrel just doesn’t boot properly…

Wait a minute. Did you unzip the file before using Balena Etcher? You download the file umbrelos-amd64-usb-installer.iso.xz. It is packed/compressed. You have to extract it to find the .iso. Maybe that is the problem with Balena Etcher.

There is another option you can try while you are trying to connect a monitor to the umbrel home. Instead of downloading the installer, try just the umbrelos image . Maybe it is the default one for the umbrel home. I have not used this image because I do not need it but, in theory, it is the same b…

Investigating now. I found this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIGQEuutthk So I took apart my Umbrel Home to get to the hidden HDMI port so I could see onscreen what was going on. It’s having trouble reading whatever is on the USB key. I am going to try that new link to the umbrelos image…
