Hey everyone,

My Umbrel Bitcoin Machine (very first HW to be released) has been a brick for months.  
I tried a multitude of commands from the posts on here. No way.

I have the very first generation of Umbrel machine, bought 3 years ago.

I am recovering files stored on the SSD. I would like to reinstall the OS and start fresh. What should i do?

Thanks!

Use a microSD os UBS pendrive… download latest version of Umbrel OS and use Balena for install on USB.
