Title. I’ve tried using dd but it doesn’t work – the .img file is written but it does not boot. Thanks in advance.
minus-squareneidu3@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·12 days agoThe write process with dd most likely worked just fine. However, the system you’re inserting it into probably doesn’t know what to do with it. is the architecture the same? Most Android devices are ARM-based, which is not compatible with, for example i386 or x86_64 (a.k.a. amd64) Is the boot method compatible? I don’t know the boot process of android devices, but it’s probably not UEFI.
