My i96 now can't boot from any MicroSD image (Debian, Android,Ubuntu)
Process of OS loading is stopped at this point:

done.
Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
- Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
- Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
- Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
- Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT! /dev/mmcblk0p2 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
Rebooting automatically due to panic= boot argument

I'm trying to boot from OrangePi_i96_debian_stretch_server_linux3.10.62_v0.0.4.img, OrangePi_i96_debian_stretch_server_linux3.10.62_v0.0.4.img, OrangePi_i96_ubuntu_xenial_server_linux3.10.62_v0.0.4 e.t.c.

Maybe, I was changed something in NAND early in RDA console.
(Some successful experiments have a place in past with adding CH341SER_LINUX driver to Debian).
Now, my i96 switch settings is OFF-OFF-OFF-OFF-ON-ON-ON-ON, Boot mode is OS.
I can stop process of booting and work in RDA console:

Unfortunately, I don’t really understand the process of loading the operating system in i96, does anyone know how to restore NAND in factory state, maybe by loading some special image via MicroSD, OrangePi_2G-IOT_NandUpdate_Tools, TFTP?

Feel free to help me

Thank you all for your help. She wasn't there. The device itself began to work after a while, stably. I associate the problems with the recent alignment of the planets. The question is removed.

Hi. Did you use original image or patched? I know one guy who patch all popular problems in stock image for this device. If you not familliar with this, try learn Legendary-OrangePi-i96 image by TheRemote.
