Flash problem

[Sarunoben]

Hello,

I am encountering an issue when trying to flash the firmware image onto an SD card.
Each time I try to flash the image, Balena Etcher fails during the writing process.

Software used: Balena Etcher

I tested several SD cards and the problem occurs with all of them:
SanDisk Ultra 1TB (grey/red)
Samsung EVO 64GB (white/red)
Transcend 32GB Class 10
SanDisk 32GB
OLEO 32GB (AliExpress generic card)

Balena Etcher shows the following error:
"Oops! Looks like the flash failed.
Something went wrong while writing ArkOS_R35S-R36S_v2.0_11072025_MultiPanel (1).img to Generic STORAGE DEVICE USB Device."

Another dialog appears with:
"Something went wrong. If it is a compressed image, please check that the archive is not corrupted.
The writer process ended unexpectedly."

After the failed flash, Windows also shows this notification:
"EASYROMS (H:) – This drive has a problem. Scan the drive now and fix it."

Question
Has anyone encountered this issue before?
Could this be caused by:
a corrupted image file
Balena Etcher compatibility
something specific with ArkOS images?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That kind of issue is probably related with the device you're using to flash the image. There's no relationship with the R3XS image.

You were right, I managed to do it using another PC. But I still have a blinking red LED and a black screen.

I used the image from the GitHub repository as well as the DTB files (I no longer have the original files).
