UPD: micro sd replacement solved my problems I’ve got Catalina operating system I did everything according to the instructions. But there is one moment: after download is complete, I see the archive already unpacked in the download folder ![20200229_014924](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/critterandguitari/original/2X/6/6426b199c85bfc5fdfd6654a1ec173c077c7bbaa.jpeg) ! ---

Please check and if that is the case, disable that. After download is complete, please use Unarchiver to unzip.

FWIW I had same problem using my Mac. Did the process on a PC and the upgrade worked fine. ---

What would be interesting to know is if it’s a problem with the flashing software or something else. What I noticed is an error that my mac couldn’t read the card before and after the flashing. So maybe something in Catalina doesn’t like the file system of the card… ---

I am having this problem too. I have re-burned the image many times now, Re-downloaded it a couple of times too. Tried re-downloading etcher and am now using a different archive software to unpack the zip. Am rather at my wits end. Process stops at 99% every time. Using a Mac (Catalina) and 32GB card that was running the latest version of OS3 this morning. Any ideas anyone? ---

Is there a special way to format the card before starting the process? I cannot think of anything else I can do differently ---

For what it’s worth, I thought I had the Unarchiver set up as my default unzipping software. Turns out nonote. When made certain that I unpacked with that, all was fine. ---

Replacing sd card solved my problem. Sd card was broken ---

Hi @bengersfood Thanks for the update! Using the default unzipper in Mac’s Catalina OS is not recommended. For future users - please use the Unarchiver to unzip the image before burning with Etcher!
