With OOWOW latest version, all downloaded images cause a boot loop.
Also, once boot looping like this happens. They only qay I’ve found out is to reflash the emmc with the windows burn tool with the single OS I’ve found that will install which is an Ubuntu24 with the 5.15 kernal desktop gnome.
So once this boot loop happens, I have to reflash it with this spicific image because it won’t boot from the SD card with OOWOW on it anymore. It loops until something gets cleared with a emmc flash.
Hello @The_Texan
How you supply the power? We suggest you to supply the power with our official PD adaptor or you may have power issue and can case boot loop issue.
Could you tell me which image you tried?
I just checed to use latest oowow to install image same as you point above ubuntu-24.04/vim3-ubuntu-24.04-gnome-linux-6.9-fenix-1.6.8-240605.img.xz and it works well.

And after you install image with oowow online, you need to remove the SD card to boot new os from the eMMC.
That is the image I used. It was a choice on the OOWOW menu. The picture above shows that image. build 240605. After install, I powered down the card with the option from the menu on OOWOW, removed the sd card, then rebooted. It then loop boots. All of the images I tried from OOWOW do this and most of the images install from the burn tool. It also does this if I install an OS to the SD card, then run the ‘sudo emmc-install’ from that sd OS.
Hello @The_Texan
I think it is caused by wrong operation steps.can you share the steps of your oowow? let’s find the problem together.
