my box is in a boot loop now, any way to force flash again once base build is on the box?

If it flashed then great you are half way there. It is not a case of normal, it is a case of whether or not the drivers are installed on the system as default for your USB stick make, type. model.
There is no mention of a micro SD card to flash this image and it won't flash to micro SD card so has ignored it being in the box - which is why there is not mention of one in the instructions.
You can use a micro SD card once flashed and reconfigure settings, but you will need at least 1 USB stick in the box so the image can download.
Maybe I have lost my touch with instructions ??? Or are people not reading them?

Peopeers - Try this:
Start again by reading the instructions
Then follow the instructions and follow each step carefully
You have posted problem after problem which wouldn't be a problem if you followed the instructions which have been tested time and time again.
Once you have followed the instructions, stopped talking about NTFS and exfat and can come here and post a real problem I will be happy to help you. At present you are getting my back up with your reluctance to actually help yourself.
Call me grumpy, use my image, don't use my image, it is up to you but you will struggle to find anyone who will help you until you can actually follow instructions.

You flashed BaseBuild by the sounds of your post so now I don't see the problem holding you back
Remove the flash USB stick and insert the empty USB stick
1. Iniitialise USB
2. Create swap file
3. Online Flash WooshBuild
Done pretty much.

help. I have got to step 4 and when I press the green button online I get error not enough free space on /hdd. you need at least 300mb free space. exit plugin.
I have a 32gb sd card in and created the swap file etc and all went well.
sorry guys just read post above and I note sd card will not work for flash so I will try a usb stick and see if that will work. I missed that post above.

Boy the world is against me today - it is like ground hog day!
You can initialise the micro SD card at that point ready for later use but you still cannot download the online flash file to it.
Before posting this I wanted to make sure I was right.
I removed my external drive leaving my micro SD card in the box. It is the only external device plugged in:
So now I try to run the online flash download:
and I get the same error as the others trying to use a mirco SD card instead of the USB stick like the instructions say.
The second I reboot with my USB device plugged in everything works at it should do.
And these screen shots are the reason why you use USB sticks or HDDs and not micro SD cards to flash online images - even a zgemma.tv nightly build will not flash from online with only a micro SD card plugged in.

Flashed one of my boxes last night. 15 mins start to finish and working perfectly! Thanks for all your hard work
I was beginning to think I had forgotten to put the instructions on how to do it all but clearly not :whistling:
Nice one and thank you for the feedback :-)

Yeah we've established it doesn't work but still no answer as to why. It did work on the last build.
