System Details:
Model: Raspberry Pi 3B
Operating Systems Tried: Raspberry Pi Lite & Full OS (Official Raspberry Pi OS images)
SD Card: 128GB microSD (integrity verified)
Power Supply: Official 5V supply (used previously without issues)
Symptoms:
Pi hangs at the “done.” message and then restarts after about 10 seconds.
RGB display shows rapid, alternating green and red flashes.
Boot log shows USB device events (e.g., “new high-speed USB device found”) even when no USB peripherals are attached.
Issue occurs regardless of attached peripherals (ethernet, keyboard, or none).
Recent Changes:
WiFi configuration updated via raspi‑config.
WiFi Country Code: Set to “UK” (should be “GB” for the United Kingdom).
Boot loop began after making this configuration change.
Troubleshooting Steps Already Taken:
Tried multiple OS images and repeatedly wiped/reflashed the SD card.
Tested with different peripheral setups (with and without ethernet/keyboard/display).
Verified SD card integrity and power supply consistency.
No explicit error messages besides the continuous reboot loop.
Current issue:
The Pi won’t fully boot, preventing access to raspi‑config to correct the WiFi country code.
Need guidance on modifying the configuration offline or other workarounds to resolve the boot loop.
