• Damaged “saved_variables.cfg”
• Other damaged configuration files (printer.cfg, moonraker.cfg, etc.)
• KlipperScreen in a too recent version (depends on python-3.8, which is not available for Sovol's outdated armbian buster). See klipperscreen_python_38 for a fix.

• No more space left on the filesystem
• Powering off the KlipperScreen by the switch without shutting it down first
• Incompatible or wrongly installed additional klipper macros

• Updating the system without having the kernel and dtb file locked
  (That became unlikely after Armbian Buster got removed from online archives in spring 2024.)

• Always make sure that there is enough space left on the filesystem first by removing old gcode files (and then reboot the device).
• Clean up the saved_variables.cfg as shown below
• If that did not help: Do a factory reset using Sovol's armbian-update.deb
• If even that did not work: Do a full reflash of the eMMC using Sovol's KLIPAD50_IMAGE

• Open that file in the web frontend (found in the machine tab in mainsail or the configuration tab {…} in fluidd)
• Replace the content of that file with the following lines, then save and reboot the device:

[Variables]
filepath = ''
last_file = ''
was_interrupted = False

• This will revert all your changes to the config files (like printer.cfg, etc.).
  If the device can still be reached by the web frontend, you may want to back up these files first.
• Download the armbian-update.deb for your device:

• Once you've downloaded the armbian-update.deb, copy it to main directory of an USB thumb drive. It's best to format it to FAT32 first.
• Keep the name of that file *exactly* as it is, e.g. don't use capital letters.
• Insert that USB drive into any of the KlipperScreen's USB ports, power up the device (if you haven't done already) and wait. The system will detect the update and install it.
• If the update does not take place, try a different USB port or a different thumb drive.
• The update process is also shown in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2jUo1KnxZw&t=157s

• It is recommended to get an USB-eMMC adapter like this one.
  It allows you to flash the eMMC directly from your PC using software like e.g. Balena Etcher
  • Follow Sovol's guide on how to flash the eMMC card: https://github.com/Sovol3d/SOVOL_KLIPAD50_SYSTEM
• It is also possible to flash the eMMC card without the eMMC adapter by booting from a thumb drive, but it is more complicated:
