Edit Reason: added info on package manager crashing
)
I had the same issue. The problem is with the new Images of Manjaro. They are being bundled as generic and not pbp specific files. When you try to book them with no U-Boot or Tow-Boot installed the computer looks dead. I took the computer apart a couple times to bypassed the EMMC before i could figure out the issue.
I have not messed with U-Boot or Tow-Boot yet as i see some people have issues with is.
What I did was install an older version of Manjaro and just update the filed once it booted. Steeb's post above gave you the correct link, it should be as simple as flash that file to the EMMC and you are set. Be prepared for the package manager to fail a couple time and ask for some packages to be replaced. There have been some big updates between the June and September images.
I am new to linux so I try and keep it simple. i am sure someone on here could provide a much more technical explanation on this but this is what I was able to figure out this far. I think they need to break this down on the Wiki page more as i have seen a lot of posts and people in chat having the same issue.
Take some time to read the wiki over if you have not, it has been a great help.
