#RESTORE RASPBERRY PI SD CARD FROM DMG FILE OFFLINE#
My 2 new 32Gb microSD cards arrived (SanDisk).Ģ) Downloaded the offline version (link), unzipped it on the SD card and booted it in my Raspberry Pi 2.ģ) Resized partition and installed Raspbian, tested it, rebooted it twice, to make sure all worked OK.Īfter that, I tried 5 ways of making a backup to an IMG file.ĪpplePi-Baker, and via Termina: “dd if=/dev/diskx” and “dd if=/dev/rdiskx” both with no “bs” parameter (I belief it defaults to bs=512) and once with “bs-512k”. It’s been quite the busy week, so I apologize for not getting to this earlier. I hope this helps, it looks like a bug because I reproduced it several times with 3 cards. It acts as an alias and can be removed from the sidebar by right-clicking on it.

I start the restore and watch the disk listing in the Finder Window:.I format the SD card with: Prep for NOOBS.It clones without problem to 8 & 16GB cards! So the problem seems to be with the unzipping.I made another backup but didn’t it compress it.When I tried to clone it to other 8 or 16GB cards, it hung up at the start of “baking”.

I made a new NOOBS card and set Raspbian up the way I want it–ready to add applications.However, I ran into the “hung” backup with some 8 and 16 GB cards.

I was successful in backing my master image to a 64GB card so it’s now less important. I gave up for awhile on trying to backup 32GB cards.
