Faulty image or does it only work for x86 systems?

[JulianTV123]

There is still nothing to install the new versions on x64 systems? I have tried with the image given in the new instructions but it has been impossible to install, since the flashing to the usb I see that something is wrong, the files on the usb seems to be unreadable and the computer can not boot from the usb, I have already lost count of the times I have formatted several usb trying to install the new version, they should provide an .iso file as do other systems like startOS.

Hmm... weird... What tool did you use to flash the drive? (Also, x86 is the name of the CPU's instruction set and x64 means it's 64 bit, so there is x86 and x86_64. This image probably only works on x86_64)

I have tried with balena and rufus from windows, and the computer where I am trying to install has an intel x64 cpu, I also tried to install in a virtual machine directly with the image but it does not work either.

Strange... either balena messed up the image or luke messed something up. Try using the installer from https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel/releases/tag/1.1.1

It does not work either, I tried with the compressed and decompressed file, and the image that comes out when decompressing if I try to open it Windows throws error “The disk image file is corrupted”

[JulianTV123]

and when I try to open the flashed usb, I get the error “The volume does not contain a recognized file system”

If you're using windows, that's normal. The images uses ext4 as it's filesystem, which windows does not recognize. Try booting

I'm having a similar issue - writing from Etcher in Mac

It doesn't work, I even created an ubuntu virtual machine to flash the usb from there and see if the windows flashing was wrong, but it still won't boot from the usb.

Try using dd if=<imgfile> of=/dev/<drive> status=progress in your Ubuntu VM. I have used this to flash my Umbrel imstaller.

There is also a possibility that your drive is faulty.

The same thing keeps happening, I have also tried to disable the hard disks of the computer to give more priority to boot by usb but it still does not work, it throws me the message that it does not find any system to boot.
Thank you very much for your help, but I think I'm going to install StartOS and not keep wasting time with Umbrel, as I urgently need a working Bitcoin node.

Same here I install the image into a USB and boot VM, and it just stays “Booting form Hard Disk…” it seems that the image that was created is damaged. If I try another image it works perfect.

In ticket #1818 it looks like someone found a solution for the virtual machines, I didn't try it as I gave up using Umbrel until I see if they ever fix the image or create an ISO image, but I hope it works for you.

Thanks, @JulianTV123 I also gave up using Umbrel. I just installed Start9OS, and it was super easy and smooth with the same steps.

@JulianTV123 FYI I have been trying to run Umbrel for the last 2 hours and no success. Initially tried on VM but it would never find the image (most likely because it's corrupted), then I tried flashing on a USB with balena following the doc, I tried with both 1.1.1 and 1.1.2, balena always tells me there's an error

And trying to boot onto it anyway doesn't work. I do not have a PI at the moment and wanted to give a second chance with the major rewrite as I tried Umbrel on v 0.5.4 and felt like it looked promising but wasn't working for me at the time. Unfortunately... I cannot test today

[JulianTV123]

omg!!, I thought that with the iso that was released I could close this issue, but it is not working as it should...

[highghlow]

I thought that with the iso that was released...

An iso was released?

It seems so, I have already tried it and indeed like the other (.img) it does not work either.
