• This indicates a failure to read the Recovery Mode state, There are three possible causes for your reference:​
  
  1. Re-enter Recovery Mode before every flash:​
  Please make sure that each time before you start flashing, you perform the steps to put the device back into Recovery Mode.​(Even if the device is already in Recovery Mode, you should manually enter Recovery Mode again before every flash to avoid issues.)​

2. Try a different USB Type-C cable :​
NVIDIA Jetson is very particular about USB cables. If the cable quality is poor, data transfer may be unstable during flashing and cause failures.​
We suggest trying a few different cables.​

3. Do not use a virtual machine (VM) as the host​.
NVIDIA’s official guidance clearly states not to use a VM environment for flashing.​
