Nano not flashing - SD image, SDK stuck at 99% and stalling with L4T

I recently got a Jetson Nano Developer Kit (P3450-0000) I have tried multiple times to get this Nano going. I’ve tried SD image, even a new SD card, but would not boot up. I’ve tried headless and with monitor/keybaord setups. I’ve tried the SDK multiple times and now on a fresh 18.04 install and it is getting stuck at 99%.

Moved on to the L4T installer script, but keeps stalling. I’ve tried both jetson-nano-devkit and jetson-nano-qspi-sd for ${BOARD}, but both stall out for over an hour.

Any ideas? Don’t want to give up on Nano yet, next move would be a replacement.

sudo ./flash.sh jetson-nano-devkit mmcblk0p1

You can try to dump the device side log by using the uart console during the flash. So that we can know why it gets stuck.

But it still has chance it is a hardware problem after we check your log.
