hello i downloaded it too, just to have a look, and i flashed on an old sd card, will be the possibility in future to flash it on emmc instead o sd? it is damn slow! 
Yes, the current problem with eMMC is about block0, the block that is not accessible when you use an eMMC to SD adapter. If you buy an eMMC from hardkernel, the block0 is already flashed with u-boot, and you can then use the eMMC to SD adapter to flash an image. However, the current image is only compatible with SD. We can generate another one for eMMC easily though.
Which of the images should be downloaded? I’ve tried a few so far for the XU3 and they all stop at the flower :(. I’m using an XU4 as well.
You need to use this image http://le.builds.lakka.tv/OdroidXU3.arm/Lakka-OdroidXU3.arm-2.0-rc3.img.gz on SD card.
Well, just to spread the info, it’s not a Flower, it’s a Lakka Berry ^^

The way I do this is I have a microSD card with ubuntu MATE on it, and I boot the XU4 with that, and flash the eMMC natively with the Lakka image, instead of using an adapter.
It would only work on an eMMC from hardkernel, because of the sector 0.
Ok, i bought all from a hardkernel official reseller, let me give it a try
no luck :’( thanks anyway for the effort!
I just wanted to mention I’m having the same issue. I tried to load RC3, RC5, and Plain Version 2 from april 24th. I’ve used this system a million times on my Rpi3 without issues. I’m using the XU4 now.
When using emmc there is no video so I’m not sure how far it makes it.
When using the Sd card every version hangs on the lakka flower. Never boots up.
try to completely remove the emmc module from odroid, this worked to me
@Yurif74 is right, having the eMMC there can change the order of the partitions and prevent Lakka to boot
Hi Kivutar, I have flashed this image to my emmc by XU4 (run Ubuntu mate on micro sd on XU4) Rebooting on emmc, the blue light solid with no action for a long time. How could i flash image file to emmc from ubuntu?

By not doing it from the micro SD card because it doesn’t work. Use this.
I dont have an adapter, so i want to flash emmc on Ubuntu (using dd command). How can i do that?
You can’t. You NEED the adapter. The XU4 can’t read both the eMMC and the micro SD at the same time to make the copy work. That’s not the fault of the OS. That’s why the XU4 has the switch on the back in order to control which port to boot from on the single-board computer.
The reason I know this is because…I have four XU4s, one 64 GB eMMC module, and plenty of micro SD cards. And the little eMMC -> micro SD adapter. You will have to flash Lakka using the adapter onto the eMMC that way and then use the switch in the position to boot from the eMMC module.
Thanks for your answer but I have flashed linux (ubuntu mate 16.04) image successfully on emmc from XU4 (using Ubuntu mate 16.04 on microsd card). With the LAKKA image I have done but nothing boot action occur. I wanna run LAKKA on emmc bc it faster than microsd.
Good luck with that.
