Hi. I’m in the process of renewing my SD card with a fresh image. Using Win10 64bit on a W520 lenovo.

But etcher is not working at all. The user interface is basically just a white rectangle.

Pretty sure it’s the right dl, the website proposes latest one for win 64bit. Version 1.5.39
Also tried older version 1.1.2, same result.

Any alternatives to etcher out there?

Hi,

you can try Win32 disk imager ... I usually use it

Thank you, Gerard! Any particular version known to be stable?

Hello Bjorn,

I use version 0.9.5, works well no issue

I think its now called balenaEtcher and the last one I downloaded was 1.4.9. Works for me on the Mac. (I wonder why there are so many versions of 1.5. Must be major issues so maybe dont go beyond 1.4)

Think I got the job done with Win32Diskimager
But I’m too unfamiliar with Quickhash to make any sense of what I’m doing trying to check if the download and new image is alright.

Bottom line, my RPi is still not producing any network, only the red power diode is lighting up, not even the wired connection lights up. I suppose they will only light up when the software is working...

Tried balenaEtcher 1.4.9, still no luck. Then ran compatibility mode, and got it working. It took a lot longer to flash than the Win32, so I’m excited to see if ot works now.

I have never checked parity image before. If RPI light doesn't change of color,image seems to be not properly
installed. As I have got FTH I downloaded twice may be it should be better to check the parity.
For the parity you have just to compare both parity value given with the image with the one you had downloaded, they
have to be the same.

Got it working tonight. Never got around to the hashing. But everything seems to be in working order.

For now: Thank you all for chipping in! I’ll be back...

I was trying to find out the solution. Now i am getting this. Thanks.
