Hello, please try to boot some other Linux image, you can verify the SD card and SD slot integrity…
trying now will let you know soon
this is driving me mental
is today’s krescue corrupt
i have tried 4 different sd cards and the sd card reader on the vim3l seems to working fine, it just will not go into krescue
Hello, Have you tried quickly(2 seconds) pressing the middle button 3 times?
This is called maskrom mode, basically any mode you use to put the system in to upgrade selection will work.
Can you send a photo of the corrrupted display, it will help us with debugging the problem 
insert the card into sd and try not to do anything, maybe it will enter Krescue on its own, on vim3 it works for me this way
For that to happen, you have probably already enabled Multiboot, when using coreelec or something…
Just to be sure, your VIM3 is not connected to, or drawing power from, a PC.
Why ?, Is it due to less power or something ?
I suspect that you did not correctly write Krescue to sd, is this possible?
Could be a very possible reason, Reflashing it should solve the problem…
try recording a Krescue image with Rufus
It does not depend on the software utilized for burning, but moreover verifying that the image was burned succesfully, For me I believe that Win32 diskimager is the best software, providing, Image verification, Image burning and Image backup tools…
I read that when board is powered by PC, it may interfere with boot due to update mode…
