I've tried nand-sata-install on Armbian_22.05.3_Odroidxu4_jammy_current_5.4.199.img and Armbian_22.05.3_Odroidxu4_focal_current_5.4.199.img. Right at the end of running nand-sata-install there's an error. If I try to install anything after nand-sata-install it will hang or the SSD will go into read only mode. To be safe I tested various SD cards and USB to SATA controllers.

sed: can't read /boot/boot.cmd: No such file or directory
sed: can't read /boot/boot.cmd: No such file or directory

Can you check /var/log/nand-sata-install.log? Maybe some clues what happened there.

Nothing weird from what I can tell. I ordered another USB3 to SATA adapter. An older XU4 I have has a similar log and it works, but it was installed months ago.

Looks like it's the USB to SATA adapter. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06WVDK9QD doesn't work, but https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07S9CKV7X does work. I even tried the Rosewill adapter in a powered hub and it didn't work.
