Hi there - my new VIM2 only had Android on it and I want Ubuntu so I prepared an SDcard and tried to boot into upgrade mode as per the instructions here.
About when I pushed the reset button the screen went black. When I released the power button the screen stayed black - no upgrade/progress nothing. White LED stayed on. After a while tried removing power and plug in again - still only ever black screen & white LED.
I have tried the M-register mode as per this thread with the same outcome - screen stays black, white LED stays solid. (I presume the instructions are short M pins, press & release reset button, then remove short from M pins?)
Any/all suggestions welcome as cant get my VIM2 to do anything now
Hello, I have not attempted to flash with a card. Have you tried using the Amlogic USB Burning Tool(Windows) and the USB-C to-male USB cable? When manipulating the buttons(keys) as stated in the following, make sure to hold the power button for at least 3 counted seconds after pressing/releasing the reset button.
âKeys Mode(U-Boot is running)
Power on Vim.
Long press Power key without release
Short press âResetâ key and release
Count 2-3 seconds and release the âPowerâ key to enter into upgrade modeâ
Thanks, sorted with Windows USB burning tool; think (my) confusion as (my) VIM2 has black/blank screen while updating. SDcard may well have been working but I didnât give it long enough. Windows USB took over 10 mins but at least I had progress bar in Windows.
@Gouwa - yes, all resolved thanks. Based on @RDFTKV suggestion I dug out the only Windoze PC in the house and got the update done. Ubuntu now installed fine.
As I said above it seems my VIM2 does a black/blank screen when updating which is what confused me in the first place. But all is well now.
I realize this has been resolved, but I mistakenly listed USB male-to-USB male cable. Of course, I meant supplied USB-C to USB male cable. I have corrected my post
Glad you saw thru my error and that you were successful.
Hi people,
By accident, I erased the Android system from my device Khadas Vim, when I was trying update it. The device seems âdeadâ. Iâve tried the metods of âCreate LibreELEC Booting Cardâ. When I used the metod via Windows PC, Win32DiskImager has frozen. When I used the metod via command line, the operation was fine. But, after insert the card and power on the device, the screen turned green. And nothing works.
What I can do? (Sorry for my bad english)
The SD card contains:
drwxr-xâ+ 3 root root 60 Set 16 19:15 âŚ

My problem was with a VIM2: not sure with a VIM but anyone else reading this with a VIM2 do the Amlogic USB Burning Tool (from a Windows PC) with the USB-C to-male USB cable as per 2nd post in the thread.
