I was going to order another chip last night but I can't find any now, the original store I bought from is apparently on holiday I think it said or something and I found 1 v6s but no shipping to USA so that...

    Good question, don't really remember as I set it all up about a year ago. I did follow sthetix guide and used the option that was recommended for the best support, I believe that was partition based iirc. I also opted to shrink the original nand backup on the SD card to only use like 8gb I...
