I can't boot from USB with my Rasbperry Pi 3

Wed Jul 24, 2019 2:08 am

I used it to download the LibreElect 9.0.2 version for the raspberry pi3 and create an USB to use it, but when I connected the USB it doesnt started the system, I already made the changes that are necessary to boot from an USB:

I used balena etcher and the USB creator tool fom Libre elec.

So i dont know what im doing wrong.

Please help.

Too many unknowns...


A troubleshooting suggestion:
If you haven't done so already, repeat your test/experiment with a download of the Raspberry Pi supported Raspbian Operating System.

If that works, as I suspect I will, it will verify the usb medium, the use of Etcher, and your modification to the boot configuration of your RPi board.

In which case the remaining incompatible element is that the third-party OS you are trying to boot may not have been made ready for this method of booting.
