## Can I flip the screen?

For the default 3.5" LCD you need to edit the /boot/config.txt. Run `sudo nano /boot/config.txt`
look for the line `dtoverlay=tft35a:rotate=270` towards the end. To flip the screen with 180 degrees change the line to `dtoverlay=tft35a:rotate=90` and reboot with `sudo reboot`. Reference: https://github.com/goodtft/LCD-show/issues/34

## How to setup fresh/clean/reset and not getting into recovery mode?

When you put in a sd card with a new/clean RaspiBlitz image the RaspiBlitz will get into recovery mode because it detects the old data on your HDD and assumes you just want to continue to work with this data.

Another option would be to delete the old blockchain and get a new one. See for details the FAQ question: [I have the full blockchain on another computer. How do I copy it to the RaspiBlitz?](FAQ.md#i-have-the-full-blockchain-on-another-computer-how-do-i-copy-it-to-the-raspiblitz). And even if you are not able to delete the data, first rename the undeletable folders and then follow the instructions.

Also make sure to check again on your power supply - it needs to deliver equal or more then 3A and should deliver a stable current. If you think your HDD is degrading - maybe this is a good time to replace it.

## Download the fully prebuilt RaspiBlitz-on-DietPi SDcard image for the Odroid HC1 / HC2 / XU3 / XU4
## There are 3 options provided:
* a trusted SDcard image
* building your own SDcard from an updated DietPi image.
* Build your own SDcard from the image downloaded from [Dietpi.com](dietpi.com#download)

Steps to run:
- download the .img file,
- burn to a 16 GB SD with [Etcher](https://www.balena.io/etcher/)
- extend the rootFS partition with a partition manager (disks, Gparted, etc.)
- boot the Odroid with the SDcard and login with ssh [email protected], password: raspiblitz
- boot the Odroid with the SDcard
- login with `ssh [email protected]`
password: `raspiblitz`

Using this image you can skip the rest of this guide as it is mostly about how this image was built.

## Run the RaspiBlitz build_sdcard.sh script
### Run the RaspiBlitz build_sdcard.sh script

In the desktop terminal in Linux / MacOS or Putty in Windows:

`ssh root@[IP-OF-DIETPI]`
password: `dietpi`
Should end up here on version v6.20.6 or higher:
![](pictures/bash_prompt.png)

run the build_sdcard.sh script in this format:
`wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/[GITHUB-USERNAME]/raspiblitz/[BRANCH]/build_sdcard.sh && sudo bash build_sdcard.sh [BRANCH] [GITHUB-USERNAME]`

Be aware of that the fork needs to be called `raspiblitz` for the git download to work.
if you intend to use @openoms`s forked version:

`wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openoms/raspiblitz/raspiblitz-dev/build_sdcard.sh && sudo bash build_sdcard.sh raspiblitz-dev openoms`
* Format of the command to build the SDcard:
`wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/[GITHUB-USERNAME]/raspiblitz/[BRANCH]/build_sdcard.sh && sudo bash build_sdcard.sh [BRANCH] [GITHUB-USERNAME]`
If you are working from a forked repo be aware of that the fork needs to be called `raspiblitz` for the git downloads to work.

* Run the forked version of @openoms:
`wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openoms/raspiblitz/raspiblitz-dev/build_sdcard.sh && sudo bash build_sdcard.sh raspiblitz-dev openoms`
This will take a couple minutes depending on your internet ceonnection and the processing power of the SBC.

* Restart when done and log back in now as `admin`:
`ssh admin@[IP-OF-DROIDBLITZ]`
password: raspiblitz
password: `raspiblitz`

The setup continues with the [RaspiBlitz Setup Process](https://github.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz/blob/master/README.md#setup-process-detailed-documentation)
