OP 5 Android 12 sd image v1.0.2 has no partition

Has anyone downloaded the latest OrangePi5_RK3588S_Android12_v1.0.2.tar.gz sd card image for the orange pi 5 recently?

After uncompressing the downloaded gz file, I verified the image with md5sum. The file is good.

However, Etcher complains the image is missing a partition table. I went ahead and wrote the image to sd card anyway.
Unsurprisingly, the OP 5 does not boot from it.

The Debian image boots fine (w/o HDMI. Presumably because no driver). However, I need android.

Made some progress. The OP 5 boots, the green activity light flashes now, and it grabbed an ip address from my dhcp server.

The monitor detects an HDMI signal from the OP (monitor does not go to sleep). However, the screen remains black.

UPDATE:
Unplugging and then replugging in the HDMI cable made the screen come alive. I'm in!

You need to use one of the official tools to write Android.

SDDiskTool_v1.72 is available for download on the main web page.

Thanks for the tip.
I followed the steps shown in the OP 5 user manual but did not notice, until now, the steps for Android are not the same as for Linux.

I tried the same but the SDCard ( Sandisk 256Gb or 64Gb) did not boot up ( tried Quick Format and Full)
SdFormatter instructions are not the same as described, any suggestions?
Thanks
