XavierNX with 5.0.2 stuck in boot with blinky cursor and debug USB not listed

I was using the Jetson 5.0.2 with the seed but today I installed

CUDA-x, Computer Vision, Nvidia Container Runtime and Multimedia components from Nvidia SDK Manager too, but after a reboot it goes

to just display a cursor from bootloader, Linux boot log or desktop is not running.!! I ran before I used the SDK Manager and the board goes like this, any Idea how to recover, The board usb is also not showing in lsusb now.

Its Exactly this issue

7bb34debdb1c8bccbb744cd11a167b1c6e1ebbc3_2_666x500

and gives a blinky cursor in the display tried more than 7 reboots still I am facing the issue. and its not coming out of the blinky cursor after UEFI screen.

Could you point me or help resolve the issue, thanks in advance.

Use serial console to check status first.

Please reflash your board. There is no method to recover under such situation.

The USB is not listed its an emmc board, how to reflash could you please help pointing to any article to helpout with instructions,

Should i force any GPIO lines to get the USB again to flash

Hi [WayneWWW]
From
(Jetson Xavier NX unable to boot after flashing - #10 by WayneWWW)
"Hi,

Please clarify whether your board is really getting into recovery mode.

There are some methods to check.

  1. If your board is truly in recovery mode, then running flash.sh to flash your board will directly start the flash process, you donā€™t need to use any jumper or software command to trigger it. The flash.sh script will not give any warning like ā€œthis board is in not recovery modeā€ Please do not use sdkmanager in this step because sdkm will access to the board and use software command to trigger the board into recovery mode. This is not precise to tell whether the board was in recovery mode or not.
  2. Connect the UART console as my previous comment said. If your board is really in recovery mode, UART log will not print anything on it. If you can at least see something on your HDMI as your previous screen, then UART will definitely print something. This could be method to validate whether your uart connection is correct or not.

I think you can firstly clarify above rather than worry about how to flash to NVMe at this moment. Check things step by step.

If the board will go to recovery mode automatically and you didnā€™t have anything on the FRC pin. Then it is hardware defect. You shouldnā€™t try anything further if this is broken hardware "

I did recompile with this
sudo ./flash.sh --no-flash jetson-xavier-nx-devkit-emmc mmcblk0p1
and
tried
sudo ./flash.sh jetson-xavier-nx-devkit-emmc mmcblk0p1

Hi WAYNE,
Could you please help us debug to recover from this state.

Read the developer kit user guide first to make sure you know how to put the board into recovery modeā€¦

With FC Rec and GND Connected [9/10 pins] the board enters force recovery and debug USB is listed, Use SDK manager to update again.
