Im trying to flash a bootloader to a blank microsd card but everytime I try at this step:

sudo ./lft.sh bl-flash aml-s905x-cc mmcblk0 (microsd card)

it returns this error:
BOOTLOADER_flash: BOARD aml-s905x-cc bootloader server

Your ISP is not able to connect to https://boot.libre.computer/

Thanks but I already fixed it.
Here are the steps if anybody cant use the tool

Download the bootloader for your board (Ex. aml-905x-cc bootloader is aml-s095x-cc no file extension)
Manually flash it
sudo dd if=BOOTLOADER of=SD_CARD oflag=sync bs=512 seek=1 status=progress
Insert SDCARD into le potato
flash an os image to external usb or ssd and plug it into one of the USB if you did everything correctly it should boot into your OS

This is only for Le Potato. It may not work for other boards.
