You saved my ass man, got this as a christmas gift and tinkered around with it too much to the point where it wasnt running smoothly and having some issues. I managed to get it back to its factory state with this guide.

how long did it take for yours to reboot bc i just have a black screen after almost a hour im at this part 9:03

I followed the steps all the way up to just past selecting the bootable media. Now it wont go past the logo screen to where I can select reimage. Waited for nearly 15 minutes with no change. Dont know what is going wrong. This is a fresh never used Steam Deck that I swapped out the SSD to a brand new larger 1tb SSD.

Thank You very much, I had one day with Steam Deck and I had to do a rest because an update popped up and then my Slider for the Display Brightness disappeared… Just followed your video and my Steam Desk is ready ..

So I’m at the boot manager and whenever I click on my usb drive with the recovery data on it. It doesn’t boot directly to the desktop like yours it starts installing all these mounting files and then the screen goes black am I the only one having this problem

there few things people need know when doing this, when loading the usb it will stay on boot logo for several minutes, be patience, once on linux screen choose reimage install and wait until it finishes the reading/writing operation on the last line on terminal you will see there is something going on even thought it looks stuck, then another windows will poppup and choose proceed and it will finally restart and its done!!

Hello I'm trying to update the SSD in my device. I have swapped out the SSD, and flashed to a USB 3.1 USB stick. I then restarted the steam deck by holding down Power + Down Arrow, and received the boot menu, where I chose to boot to the EFI device. At this point the device gets stuck on the Logo and will not proceed. I have waited upwards of 2 hours to no avail. I have tried the following:

- Force restart the Steam Deck. Press the power button for 12 seconds or until the Steam Deck shuts down. Then, press and hold the power button again for 2 seconds to turn it back on.
- Boot into the BIOS. Hold the Volume+ button and press the Power button. In the BIOS, navigate to the "Boot" tab and make sure that the SD card is set as the first boot device.
- Boot into BIOS, proceed to Power, switched to battery off mode
- Tried using a different SD card. Tried 4 different cards, micro SD, flashing both from Rufus in Windows as well as from balenaEtchter in MacOS.
- Re-flashed the image to the SD card about 4 times across 4 devices.
- Made sure that you are using the latest version of Rufus.
- Used a high-quality SD card that is compatible with the Steam Deck.
- Formatted the SD card as FAT32 before flashing the image.
- Tried using a different USB port on my computer.
- Made sure that the Steam Deck is fully charged before flashing the image.

I honestly am at a loss. I've tried everything. I simply can't get past that damned logo!
