Like I said in the first post, thats what I tried... I looked over the documentation havent found anything else that would help me...I tried downloading the image from allonis.com/support/documentation/downlo...e/1-allonis-software (the first one) to try and flash it on a drive but Etcher wont open the .zip I download, and it wont decompress using regular unzip (says its corrupted?)

I have a sneaking suspicion you are going down a rabbit hole. What was on screen when you booted with a HDMI monitor?
flashing a Master Image is NOT supported. This is why we sell the software on hardware to minimize these types of issues. But the most important part is: follow the documentation.

The zip file has some weird format, it doesnt work on mac or using cli unzip on a linux box...
Once I got over that by unzipping the img on a windows box I was able to get the .img, and flash it onto my nvme. Turns out all along it was something with the usb drive...
I'm setting up right now, following every step as I've been told multiple times... I'll search the documentation about how to get my license on it at a different time... Once I get the keyboard I'll be able to understand what it is on the usb drive and revert back. For now I'm using a (usb connected) NVMe drive I already had.

I suspect the USB got corrupt by the initial boot. But good to hear you are on your way. If you find anything sketchy in the docs, please let us know and we will fix.
Thanx!!!

Most NVMe are actually preferable. Faster Read / Write than even the 400mhz USB.The zip file has some weird format, it doesnt work on mac or using cli unzip on a linux box...
