Summary

  • Swap tab order so "On the device" is the recommended method, with instructions for getting the image there via scp or curl
  • Demote remote flashing to an alternative tab with a warning about silent failures

A user attempted remote flashing but the device booted back to the previous OS with no error — likely a firewall issue. Local flashing avoids this class of problems entirely.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Local flashing is more reliable because the image is already on the
device — no network dependencies during the flash. Remote flashing can
fail silently due to firewalls, leaving users confused when the device
boots back to the previous OS with no error message.
