My Rasberry Pi doesn't boot anymore

Mon Dec 14, 2020 10:33 pm

Hi,

I'm reaching to you because i'm stuck trying to boot my Raspberry Pi 3 Model B.

After installing the last version of Raspberry Pi OS on my SD Card, i wanted to update my firware with a

Code: Select all

sudo rpi-update 
Since then, it's been impossible to boot my Raspberry : red and green light remain still.

When i try to ssh it, i got no result :

Code: Select all

sudo ssh -vvv pi@raspberrypi.local
Password:
OpenSSH_8.1p1, LibreSSL 2.7.3
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config
debug1: /etc/ssh/ssh_config line 47: Applying options for *
debug1: Connecting to raspberrypi.local port 22.
Could you help me please ?

The easiest thing to do is re-install the entire OS and never do rpi-update unless you know what you are doing and why:
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentati ... -update.md
Unless specified otherwise my response is based on the latest and fully updated RPi OS Bullseye w/ Desktop OS.

I'm seeing an identical problem.

I use rpi-update frequently to update my Pi so I can check the wifi drivers I compile work OK with the latest kernel versions.

I have just updated 8 Pi. Pi0, Pi0W, Pi1b, Pi2b, Pi3a, Pi4b 4GB, Pi4 8GB and Pi400. The Pi4s and 400 are working OK. All the remaining Pi are refusing to boot or at least appear not to be booting. The red and green LEDs are permanently on the Pi2 and 3, and green LED permanently on on the Pi0 and Pi0W and P1b shows only red led permanently on.

The Pi4 8GB and Pi3a are running kernel 5.10.0. The remaining Pi are running kernel 5.4.83. All Pi ran fine with the previous kernel version 5.4.81 and 5.10.0-rc7 on the Pi4 8gb and Pi3a.

Going to do some testing to check if the SD cards from the Pi that are not now working work in a Pi4.

Just took the SD card from the Pi1b and put it in a Pi4b 4GB and it booted OK.

Had to run rfkill unblock wlan to enable the wifi but otherwise it appeared to run OK. Then took the SD card out of the Pi4 and tried it in the Pi1b again and it refuses to boot.

Am going to revert to the previous kernel version and expect it to work OK.

I can see a problem on non-Pi4 board with latest firmware (not kernel). Let me investigate.

There is a fix now (on master and next branches) of rpi-update firmware.
