Thank you @mcorino for pointing me in the right direction. I also got stuck with the error:
Formatting APP parition done
mount: /tmp/ci-YdujnpuaCP: must be superuser to use mount.
[ 32]: l4t_flash_from_kernel: Failed to mount APP partition /dev/nvme0n1p1
2 things I overlooked in the wiki:
- Step 4/5 when to remove the jumper for recovery mode
- sudo tar xpf
Unpacking has to be done on an ext4 partition because of symlinks.
After it was stuck at boot for saying “A start job is running for End-user configuration after inial OEM installation.” for 30 minutes I unplugged and replugged it and it would boot normally. Now apt upgrade is giving issues configuring nvidia-l4t-kernel:
Setting up nvidia-l4t-kernel (5.15.148-tegra-36.4.3-20250107174145) …

Which makes total sense, because we’re supposed to stick with the version part of the jetpack. So thanks to @afsyd for pointing out we should:
apt-mark hold nvidia-l4t-display-kernel nvidia-l4t-kernel nvidia-l4t-kernel-dtbs nvidia-l4t-kernel-headers nvidia-l4t-kernel-oot-headers nvidia-l4t-kernel-oot-modules before apt upgrade.
