nhanquy: Yes, I noticed the missing jbd. Thanks for pointing it out. Still no luck.
Benson: I did try booting it, no luck, and I have an OTG adapter so shouldn't that force host mode?
fanoush: You've suggested some very interesting things, but your "x can be solved" lines are way too vague and over my head. Can you give me more detailed instructions? Something I can edit in the /initfs_flasher folder before flashing? Lines I can paste into bootmenu.conf?

I don't have the initfs/dev file in my initfs_flasher folder.

A specific example would be excellent and most appreciated here!
