@rpk.firefly
Thanks for your kind sharing the information.

Unfortunately, In my case, RK3399 MAX (wtih 4GB/128GB) refuse to enter the so called upgrade mode with Recovery (hold) - Reset - Recovery (release) sequence.

I have tried MASK ROM mode but only to fail.

I expect your information on rootfs (linux) onto my Samsung T5 portable SSD just plugged into the USB 3.0 port.
It would be super solution for relatively slow EMM.

Cheers

Cheers

Sorry to hear about not getting into a loader mode.

Were you able to initially boot and it came ...

Thanks for your care.
The boards were initially booted with Android well.

I send back boards and get them fixed.
After that, I successfully flashed ubuntu images out with instructions as you provided.

It might be problem of board themselves.

If someone experience similar problem, it would be better to send back problematic board to firefly and get them fixed it.
Cheers !!
