I keep getting en error message “something went wrong. if it is a compressed image, please check that the archive is not corrupted”. while writing hassos_rpi4-64-4.13.img

Hi @tyo!
Could you please let us know if you see any meaningful error information in the DevTools?
You can open DevTools by pressing Ctrl+Shift+I.

Thanks,
Georgia

I’ve also found this GH issue on the etcher repo https://github.com/balena-io/etcher/issues/2859. Could you please also try and run etcher as Administrator and let us know if this works for you? Thanks

Thanks Georgia. Running it as administrator seems to make the difference. I am still a bit worried because of the message “Flash Complete! 1 Failed target”.

You should see a more specific message in a tooltip by hovering over the failed targets. It could be a verification error due to Windows writing an SVI folder when we switch from writing to reading data for validation
