I see some old images the raspbian wont work with Rpi4 since the image its from 2018 and Pi4 released in 2019
I see that the Lakka is a img.gz
so you just download the images and put them like this to bb,you need to convert the images to squash fs format to work

Thanks! you mean that i need to change the file system from ext4 to squash? And the whole file system of my tf card is set to FAT32 and my working platform is on win10 , then how to fix it?

You need to download the image you want to convert to squash fs extract it since img.gz its compressed image and follow the instructions in the page i gave you to convert it to squash fs

Your card is formatted ok
You cannot convert the image from windows
Use the normal raspbian desktop image to do that

There are some converted images available

Lakka does not need conversion just open the img with 7zip and extract the .system file inside its the largest file in size,rename it after with any name eg: lakka.img
You can do that from windows

Also you have not extracted lakka its still compressed Eg. Img.gz it need to be opened with 7zip and extract the img file from inside

You can only convert img files not img.gz

For example lakka.img.gz cannot be converted
Should be lakka.img open the file with 7zip from windows and extract the lakka.img inside to desktop copy the file to a usb stick and convert it from raspbian
I gave you an example now in general.
lakka does not need conversion

All the images for Rpi are compressed and need extraction first
