I’ve been trying to flash my ZEDBox for a while and have run into multiple issues, which I’ve raised with support.
I’m posting here in case somebody from the community can shed some light on what’s going on.
At the moment, I get this message at the end of the flashing process, both after flashing directly from a host PC and also after rebooting using a flashed usb-drive.
Does anybody have any suggestions for what to do?
Really appreciate the help!

Our ZEDBOX orin also soft-bricked itself somehow, and our only way out was to reset it. I followed the instructions but ran into the exact same issue “Error flashing qspi”.
Now our device is completely bricked and wouldn’t even show up in the device list despite booting with the OTG cable connected. Power light doesn’t come on either.
@system Would greatly appreciate if you could help fix this.
I’m trying to flash my device but I’m hitting the same issue: the device only boots when USB is connected — it will not boot successfully without USB. I’m attaching the host machine logs and device screenshots below.

Flash failure
Either the device cannot mount the NFS server on the host or a flash command has failed. Check your network setting (VPN, firewall,...) to make sure the device can mount NFS server.

FLASH FAILED.
Any detailed steps or commands to try would really help me debug and solve this.
FYI, i have tried sudo ufw disable to diasble firewall
Thank you so much for your support!
