I'm new to Android Things, so would beg your pardon for any silly mistake. I'm using Raspberi Pi 3 Model B, and installed Android Things 0.5.1-devpreview on the sd card. But it's not booting. The board is fine as it's working fine with NOOBS and LIBREElec. When I start the board with Android Things it just shows the rainbow image of raspberi two times before shutting down. Please help. I've downloaded the zip from https://partner.android.com/things/console/#/622pn5/build and unzipped it (using fedora, so unzipped using Archive Manager), and Flashed the image to SD Card using Etcher. I'm just unable to boot Android Things in Raspberi Pi, this problem doesn't includes any coding (but a development related problem), so I've not pasted any code here. Again beg your pardon for any stupidity as I'm new to Android Things.

Try a different power source. I noticed when I used one that's too low for the board the board wouldnt boot up.

  • The same power source was working fine with NOOBS and LibreElec. Though checked with new power source based on your suggestion, but didn't worked. – Rivu Chakraborty Sep 07 '17 at 06:08
  • I'm late in my responsive but also check the format of your sd card. The sd card has to be formatted in ms-dos(FAT32) in order for the Android Things boot up at least in my experience. Hopefully, you already resolved your issue and this comment isn't needed. – ronald daugherty Nov 28 '17 at 15:06
  • Its working fine with 0.4.1 the problem is only with 0.5.1 – Rivu Chakraborty Nov 28 '17 at 15:20

try using dd to put the image in sd.

It worked for me.

    Please expand on your answer with the specific command. Your answer should stand on its own without the link. – Tom Aranda Nov 01 '17 at 03:53
