Android OS image corrupt

indigology

Hello all, first time messing with an OPi5 and no matter what I try, it says data corrupted, must format.

It happens when loading the image to the SD through SDDiskTool, opens every partition, and tells me to format.

I've tried just ejecting the SD without formatting anything and tried to boot the OPi5 but it just says:

"Can't load android system. Your data may be corrupt. If you continue to get this message, you may need to perform a factory data reset and erase all user data stored on this device."

Gives the option to try again, and factory reset data.

At the very bottom of the screen, it says, "E:[libfs_mgr] failed to mount /metadata: file exists."

I did hit the try again button, but the error message pops back up.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as im slowly losing my mind. Thanks in advance!
