Advice on creating micro SD (Android) - phoenixcrap - 05-03-2016

In hindsight, I suspect my username reveals my frustration. Received my 1Gb board today and hurried off to download, via the Wiki, the latest Android version, WinRar and Phoenix.  I unpacked the Android Image into it's own folder and likewise Phoenix. Opened the Phoenix application and went off to select my Android image file 'android-ver5.1.1-20160428-pine64-8GB'  (7,569,408 KB). I immediately got the Phoenix error message "Script not found. Please use new image version". 

I've tried deleting the downloaded Android file and re-downloaded (incase it had become corrupt in download) and unpacked, this time using Winzip. Same result when I try to select that image file with Phoenix  ( "Script not found. Please use new image version")

I've tried downloading different Android versions (all via Wiki) with the same results.

Any idea what I might be doing wrong here people?

You missed the right one. MD5 sum is 0aca1b9cc94babdb9313ce8c33a154f2. Isn't that funny how you lost you are only since the responsible guys don't care about documentation?

Guess what? You should use Rufus with DD images and Phoenix Card with Phoenix Card images. But why should this be pointed out? Why should information be added to the Wiki that you will fail booting when you connect an Ethernet cable on 1st boot? Why should you like so many others NOT WASTE HOURS OF YOUR LIVE since the responsible persons simple don't give a shit about adding a few sentences to the download links?

Thanks very much tkaiser...that worked!  You are correct, I should not have to waste so much time and rely on helpful people like you when better information could be provided in the Wiki. Thanks again.
