Does it boot without the screen and will it boot if you use a fresh copy of the OS downloaded from the Raspberry Pi site?

if i try without the HDMI screen, then the 2.2" adafruit screen is just white,
It did boot fine with the raspbian OS before. I dont wanna Reflash it, Since i do have important stuff on the SD card, :/

*edit, i have an other SD card that i flashed with a fresh OS, and it works fine, But i still want my important files from the other SD card, :x

Alright update, after i put "init=/bin/s" in the cmdline.txt of the sd card, i manged to edit the rc.local file using this command


"mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda1"

Just to verify - everything works with the display if you start fresh and follow the guide?

What is the version of Raspbian you are working with on the problematic SD card?

Let's continue troubleshooting with the second SD card. You've already linked to this, but make sure you're following these instructions:
https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-2-2 ... sy-install
and also note the specific version of Raspbian from March 13, 2018.

Can you start over and capture your running of the script and post the contents here. Similar to this:
