Trouble flashing to USB drive

I saw the sticky about posting bugs on github, but I’m not sure whether this is actually a bug or if there’s just something stupid that I’m doing. If the mods think it’s likely a bug, please feel free to delete this post, and I’ll gladly move it to github.

I’ve tried flashing the Lakka for 64-bit PC to a USB drive numerous times now. I’ve tried doing it from a machine running Linux Mint 18 and from a machine running Windows 10, and I’ve tried two different USB drives on each machine. Copying the Lakka image to the USB drives always appears to be successful, but none of my machines can boot from the image. Upon further inspection, the USB drives (both are Kingston DataTraveler 112 16GB) seem to be corrupted after flashing the Lakka image. Formatting to FAT32 causes the USB drives to function normally again.

I’m following the instructions listed on the Lakka website for copying the .img to the USB drive for each OS I’m using.

The image that I’ve downloaded (which I assume is the current version) is: Lakka-Generic.x86_64-devel-20160717204331-r21527-g4656d16.img

What do y’all think? Is this a bug, or am I just doing something wrong?

Did you reproduce the error with latest nightly ? And check that your image is valid with md5sum or sha256sum.

I actually tried to find an md5sum on the Lakka website but couldn’t, and at the time, I had not yet discovered the project on GitHub. This will definitely be the next thing I try. Thanks!

This worked. Thanks. My initial downloaded image must have gotten corrupted somehow.
