2022 Dec 25 Stickied -FAQ- & -HELPDESK- thread - Boot problems? Power supply problems? Display problems? Networking problems? Need ideas? Get help with these and other questions! 🎅🎁🎄
Is there any way you can access the terminal? Like does it take you to the login screen at all? If so, you can mount a different SD card partition (try to mount /dev/mmcblk0p5/ or /dev/sda1/), reboot, and it should work (only if you somehow mounted the recovery partition by accident). This page may be helpful for you in understanding the partition issue and finding which partition to mount if it’s not one of those two above.

WIFI error rpi4 raspberry pi os/lite
The secondary reason I advise against NOOBS is that it has been removed from the downloads page (see here for the GITHUB repository) - the primary is that it does give issues with updates / upgrades and gets in the way. It's much simpler to use a 16Gb or 32Gb card given the way the costs have dropped.

Changing Internet Settings After Using Raspberry Pi OS Imager
It's a bug: https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-imager/issues/749 It's probably best at the moment to avoid the "lite" version.

SD-Card storage software
I've used Win32 disk imager in the past. I've moved on to Balena Etcher and Raspberry Pi Imager now, but I don't think they ever had a "SD-to-image" functionality.

Raspberry Pi update removes the default user
There are/were issues with using the rpi-imager [1] under Windows, which would result in the configuration information not being written to the memory card. They claimed to have fixed it, but it never worked for me.
Instead, I downloaded a live Linux dist, kde-neon [2], wrote that to a USB stick with rufus [3], booted my PC with that, and imaged under Linux. Only then did it work.

Using QEMU and passthrough SD MMC to prepare a RPi 4B image. Wish me luck.
Use https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-imager/releases/latest. Scrollll to the bottom, click misc utility images, then bootloader then you can choose to make it boot from usb or sd.. burn it on a sd card and boot from it in pi.

Why is 351ELEC doing this in my rg351m I’ve tried for days and still doing this
