Got my new ssd installed in the deck, booted into recovery and started reimagining. It was going fine for a while then I started to see a lot of errors and it hung for a while.

But after sitting at the above image for a while it started moving again. Now it is stuck again, and for far longer than before. Is it safe to turn it off and go back into recovery?

Update: rebooted and it booted into Steam OS, and is updating.

Update 2: after the reboot and update I am not signed in and installing games.

Yes, it should be safe to force a shutdown, and then re-doing the re-image.

I rebooted and it booted into SteamOS!

It looks like an issue with the file system. I don't have a steam deck, but are you able to make sure the ssd is seated correctly? Are you able to try inserting a different one?

I rebooted and it booted into SteamOS and started updating. Looks like everything is good.

Assuming fan is spinning correctly, heat shield on SSD transfered over to new SSD?

Ssd shield was transferred. I do not feel the fan running, but the entire deck is cool.
