buring image with 'dd' on linux doesn't work (Solved) - mathiraj - 10-16-2016
I'm using Android 5.1.1 Image Release 20160711 [v1.2.6].
I notice that if I burn this to the sd card with the following command, it doesn't work. pine64 does not boot. Nothing comes up on the screen.
dd bs=1M if=android-ver5.1.1-20160711-pine64-8GB.img of=/dev/mmcblk0p1
umount /dev/mmcblk0p1
Has anyone had success with burning the image using 'dd' on linux? Can you please share the exact command you used?

You cannot write the image to a partition ( your dd command above is not correct ).
Try the following:
sudo dd bs=4M if=android-ver5.1.1-20160711-pine64-8GB.img of=/dev/mmcblk0
also
you must 'unmount' the volume 'before' you run the dd command. If the volume is mounted the dd write will not work either.

Thanks for the reply. Your command made it work.
