Flash always fail

[Jerome_Dumont]

What is the problem?

Whatever version of Octopi I download, the .img always says it is damaged. I use Etcher to flash it on a 16 GB micro sd card but it always fails.

What did you already try to solve it?

I tried a lot of Octopi versions, it never works, I try flashing it directly from a URL

Have you tried running in safe mode?

No, I have no idea what safe mode is...

Additional information about your setup

OctoPrint version, OctoPi version, printer, firmware, browser, operating system, ... as much data as possible

I tried the 0.17 version, then the 0.18 version, I'm on windows 10. I use google chrome and WinRAR (free trials for years)

Hello @Jerome_Dumont!

Etcher can a bit picky from time to time.
Try Win32 Disk Imager:

Win32 Disk Imager

And please download the image before. It's more safe for imaging.

BTW. The image is called OctoPi

What is the difference between OctoPrint and OctoPi? Are they the same thing?

No, OctoPrint and OctoPi are not the same thing. OctoPrint is a fully featured print server/web interface for 3D printers, written in Python and HTML/JS. It is platform agnostic and runs basically everywhere where you can install Python (the full version, not Micropython), be it a cheap single PCB computer like the Raspberry Pi running Linux, a fully featured gaming PC running Windows, a Mac running MacOSX or a server running some BSD flavor. It was created and is actively maintained by Gina Hä…

Another hint: Blue words are links (like safe mode)

Thanks, I managed to write the image on my sd card!
